Hatsune Miku | national anthems, anime style
Brush up on the national anthems of the world with HATSUNE MIKU, a cho kawaii character issued by Yamaha as part of the Vocaloid Character Vocal series. Vocaloid, a singing synthesizer application software, lets you synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody.
Hatsune Miku's voice samples Japanese voice actress Fujita Saki -- high-pitched enough for the saliva glands of otakus everywhere to go into overdrive. It is, however, charming in that Hello Kitty way when you hear Hatsune Miku sing the national anthems of France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK, and the USA in her bubbly Japanese-accented way (listen here). The lyrics are exported into Japanese syllables, giving the national anthems a cheery anime sound (eg. "Godu Saybu za Kween"). Oh man, it's so precious.
Listen to the national anthems by Hatsune Miku:
