| Ok, this would be acceptable if this was an Asian or Japanese commercial but the US, oh god what the hell and localization first makes me wonder why do it here first? |

Hoppy said: Yeah, me too. It's weird they chose Hatsune Miku to appear in a US orientated commercial. And like someone here already said: That scream just before she's on the podium just scares people off.Ok, this would be acceptable if this was an Asian or Japanese commercial but the US, oh god what the hell and localization first makes me wonder why do it here first? And they should have chosen someone with a Japanese accent too voice it over. It's just a great failure. |
| Needed Megurine Luka instead |
| I'm more curious of the thoughts of people who haven't heard of Miku who watch the ad than people who have heard of Miku and are raging that she's getting notice in mainstream US culture. |

| Why God, why do I always get bad news on the weekends? Ffffffffffffffuck..... |
| I don't understand how this is bad. It's not like the US is going to affect the Vocaloid franchise in Japan. You can always just ignore anything US related. (sorry for my semi-rant) |
| The concept was not bad, just how bad they pull it out, ridiculous. |
 |
| -sigh- watching the ending of that commericial, i wished it was advertising a concert in US rather than the car... |
| mukuro-sama♥ hibari-sama♥fon-sama♥ My top wanted things: 1. Yato umbrellas!! 2. Mukuro's left eye 3. LEON!!! (KHR)  |
| *Looks at the commercials* I just... I can't... what... HUH? *Looks at the Toyota Corolla Miku official website* Oh cool its a picture of Hatsu- BLEARAHAAARUUUUUGHH (vomiting noises). That... thing is an abomination... of Miku... The moral of this story: American business needs to do a better job at introducing foreign stuff to its population. |
| I actually think this is embarrassing. |
| Why not choose Megurine Luka? Ya she might not be as famous as Miku but the latter sucks. |
 |
| I don't really get the point of this; the general audience isn't going to give a fuck about Miku unfortunately. |
 |
| Uh... why? The average American male adult won't even recognize her... |
| "If you feed me, Seymour, I can grow up big and strong!" |
| A poorly made ad. |
 |
| Somehow it made me LOL. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| It's quite funny, though no American will know who she is. They will probably think it's Toyota's new mascot. |
| She sure does look horrible. Bad CGI is bad. |
Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |
| Haha this would be so embarssing, sitting in the living room with family, the ad plays herox3 said: The commercial would only annoy Americans with Miku's high pitch and worsen the stereotypes of the Japanese people. Satisfies me though. agreed completely, I can already imagine my dad's face and words if he saw the commerical. |
     |
| OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 |
| What. The. Heck. all I say. |
 |
| That is a strange ad to air in the United States. It would help if Miku's name was pronounced right though. |
 |
| hmm vocaloid in the states, this is definitely something id like to see, but i dont think id be able to make it there :( |
| I'm sorry but I don't get why people are so "speechless" or think "WTF does Toyota think they're doing?" or "this is ridiculous"... Contrary to those who thinks that way, I think it's great. The first time I saw the commercial, I thought of the tragedy that just happened, and I think it's great that Toyota is actually trying to move forward and gain its grounds. I saw it as an effort to take the powerful next step from what happened just months ago to say that we're all right now. I don't think it's solely the Toyota company in the US that made this decision, it's like going to its roots (to what's originally from and embraced in Japan). Just my thought. And I also agree with @Squarebox's comment. |
