chiffon

I'm starting to think I should have just made one large post and put all the videos I posted today together... :V

This is a pretty surprising, and cool, song!

ハロ／ハワユ

Hmm I think I heard this song several times, but it never really registered...

Well its registering now so I think I'll put it here.

"Hello/Hawyu?"

:V japanese FAIL

Sehnsucht

A new append song to like! Piano melodies are always nice. Maybe its because I grew up playing the piano. I really like this background melody.

The title... its not even in japanese, in German I think... of course I don't know what it means. :(

生き残りサバイバル

HI REMEMBER KAAI YUKI

This song is cute. I also can't translate the title. "Life something something something bible". Maybe.

dewdrop

Hmm... looks like a song that got overshadowed by all the recent... more crazy songs I think. This person did GUMI's voice pretty well, I kind of like it. The music is pretty mellow and nothing to stand-outish, but its reasonably nice. Too bad it doesn't seem like it will get any higher in the rankings.

Bathroom Garden

Sung by append sweet, though you'd think light or soft would suit the theme of the video better. Well, its pretty sweet at parts, that's for sure.

Lily Lily Burning Night

welllll samfree did it again. Making one of those songs like he did with Luka Night Fever, Megu Megu Fire, and Miki Miki... uh something.

I think I like his Miki Miki one best...

btw is it just me or does Lily sounds like... Len? orz well at least there are some parts where Lily does sound like a girl. Well she sounds like a girl most of the time, so I guess that means she's not Len, but still I was like "hmm, seems a bit Len-like".

Append wallpaper

I'm sorry, I just think my wallpaper is so cool right now.

Actually, I think I just think append is so cool right now.

...oh why do I have such an obsession over append's design? I think its some sort of drug addiction for my eyes, this could be bad. :(

VOiCE

A new favorite, from playing Project DIVA.

Miku sounds remarkably more robotic in this song, but I think (like many other songs) its really appropriate for that reason. And attractive for that same reason.

Consequently, I guess it makes the following video more appropriate, too:

I guess it fits really well in making something sound on the surface really artificial, yet start to feel something with the song despite its artificiality? :V Pretty cool.

MY NEXT SONG OF THE MONTH? Thank you Project Diva. :V

Optimism vs Pessimism: Geoengineering

I'm sure this is being done in a lot more articles out there, but these two TITLES ALONE were so contrasting -- not to mention the articles -- that I just had to post something.

The Optimist's view (which, coincidentally, everyone can access!):

http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/08/can-geoengineering-halt-sea-leve.html

They assert the dangers and the challenges but for the most part think it can happen.

The Pessimist's view (not accessable by everyone, oh Nature News):

http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100823/full/news.2010.426.html

They are seriously like "dude it won't happen, give it up".

Usually the two sites reproduce almost the same news, or maybe one may present news that the other does not, but I never saw the two contrast so much on the same issue before!

Bad AApple

...Oh geez.

Unfortunately I don't recognize most of the characters in there... but I saw the big eye... the big eye is watching...

No GUMI I guess :(

AIR theme

...as sung by Miku.

It's not half bad!

LOVELY☆VOCALOID-2010 love extended-

its just... happy Miku music!

...Looks like I don't need an explanation on this title. V:

GUMIで「君の知らない物語」MikuMikuDance Cup

So they're doing some MMD video competition and spewing out all these different MMD videos... I was never really a big fan of MMD but HAY IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A WINNAR


well, not really. :V BUT THEY USED GUMI and considering the quality of MMD I guess its not... too bad? I thought the tribute to Sayonara Memories at the end of the video was really cool though. V:

WHATEVER. It's better than any other MMD videos I've seen as of now. :p

O:!! Maybe my sister will like them. And maybe they will sing interesting songs.

HOLY SHI-- AFTER 7 YEARS OR SOMETHING UTA KATA IS FINALLY GETTING LICENSED?!?!

Oh and baseball girls that was a good show too.

Rin and Len append

http://www.vocaloidism.com/2010/08/19/kagamine-len-append-update-rins-append-sweet-revealed/

Looks like this is going to be a trend! I actually hope they come up with another original costume design instead of just ripping off miku append's design.

Oh, if they move on to Luka I think her append version might turn out to be pretty good. Assuming they do a good job.

会いたい

The next great GUMI hit after Mosaik Role? Well, Mosaik Role apparently reached 1 million watches...

This one isn't too bad. I think I'll take a liking to it after listening to it a few more times.

"Hui" (chinese) "itai"... "Hui" I think in chinese meant to do something, while itai means "I want to ___"

I want to do? :V Japanese FAIL AGAIN EVEN THOUGH I WAS THERE FOR A WEEK. V:

EDIT: "I want to meet". THIS MAKES SENSE TOO

Goat breath

must be baaaaaaa-ad breath.

and that was a baaaaaa-ad pun.

Foldit

Clearly, every high school biology teacher now needs to assign a weekly assignment for their students to predict the structure of an unknown protein.
