Oh we have books for sale
Some white and some blue

And a friendly monster for me

Oh the places you go
Amazing what they are

The video explains the making of this vocalist who does not exist. Much of my time while writing about things for this blog, I find myself with the words, "This is not a joke," and they tempt me once again. This entire thing is so surreal that believing it exists makes my mind go mad.

The program of Vocaloid can be found here, and yes, you can make the girl sing in it. The original program to make the voice is not for sale though.

It gets weirder. The singer has concerts.



Your eyes are not deceiving you. That is thousands of people dancing to a holographic made up character. The voices are not real, the character is a hologram, and it is topping the charts in Japan.
