Hatsune Miku Tries Being a Newscaster in Fan Video
posted on by Eric Stimson
Nico Nico Douga, "News 39." It presents Hatsune Miku as a newscaster on the (fictional) eponymous news program, presenting the day's news in song form, including a weather report delivered via rap.
The first news story she reads is about a dog rescued from drowning by a homeless man who is rewarded for his good deed with a job. The second story is about a man who rose to the presidency from slums, enduring much hardship and "emptiness"; he donates all of his money to charity and focuses on alleviating poverty. The weather report mostly predicts rain and references Japanese tennis star and meme fodder Shūzō Matsuoka.
Mitchie M has released a Hatsune Miku CD album, Greatest Idol, with a cover illustration by cort, who animated Miku's realistic motions using the software MMD (MikuMikuDance).
"News 39" topped 100,000 views in one day, earning it a place in the "Vocaloid Hall of Fame."
