I’m rather new to the Vocaloid scene that’s been ongoing in Japan for what seems like years now. I never thought I’d be the kind of person that would fall for virtual idols like this. But there’s the weeaboo inside of me that thinks that characters like this are just the first step to a Sharon Apple being developed (makes sense if you know Macross Plus).
Today’s song, and probably the whole theme this week, is from a live performance titled Hatsune Miku 39’s Giving Day which is available for import from Japan, or just through YouTube if you’re a cheap ass like me. The track for today is “Double Lariat” performed by vocaloid Megurine Luka…who has quickly become my favorite ‘non-corporeal’ J-POP artists.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
