Vocaloid2, the cutey j-pop style singing program.

Sorry for being late to the party, but does anyone know where I can buy the Vocaloid2 Software? Amazon.co.jp won't ship it to the US... >.<

-I think Miku is fat around the waist in that 3d model

-nice anime-like animation find Chama. Why couldn't he employ the techniques of professional anime animators to make more frames efficiently?

You can download a 30-day one at Tokyo Tosho (type "Vocaloid2" in TT's searcher and it will appear to you a torrent ^_^)

That was quite out of the blue although I was expecting the more epic version

Many people were inspired by the song and sing it with own voice.

Seriously, IMO, Melt is so damn good I thought it would make a very successful song

I haven't been listening to many Miku songs recently (although I absolutely loved that Kaito-only original song, which I don't know how to pronounce, but it happens to be my favourite type of song) ...but thanks to the rankings manipulation I ended up clicking on one of them out of curiosity and was quite impressed. It's a good song! I mean it could be used for some drama or anime and it wouldn't feel out of place...

But listening to Gazelle's version, I have to say I end up feeling Miku still has some way to go if the intention behind Vocaloid is to produce singing software that can more or less replace actual singers (not just do nice choruses, which I think they can do well enough).
She really has a nice voice though, I was reminded of Maaya Sakamoto.

It's the problem of the "bulky" dress; the waist of both are already set on 7%, and there's no way to set the hip's size.

And a question I wondered for a long time: is colour blind the reason behind all those blue-haired Miku fanarts creation?

This song contains various pieces of other tunes.

Spoiler for List of music pieces in "Piko Piko Musume" I recognize:

A-ha - "Take on Me"
Kraftwerk - "Numbers Japanese language version"
Plastics - "Copy"
"Miku Miku Ni Shite Ageru"
YMO - "Rydeen"
ELO - "Twilight"
YMO - Episode in "Snakeman Show"

Almost all of above are 1980's. There must be other pieces which I can't recognize.

Numerous variants of "Melt" had released at Niconico. Here is a one of them.
Mixed up of original(Hatsune Miku), AoMofu version and Gazelle version.

"Melt by Miku, AoMofu, Gazelle" on Niconico douga.
