Gackpoid Miku
I thought this was an April Fool's joke rearing its ugly head again, but I guess the jokes on me. Musical sensation Gackt will provide his voice for Gackpoid, a Japanese singing synthesizer utilizing an engine in the same vein as Vocaloid 2 by Yamaha Corporation. Many of you may have heard of Vocaloid and still have no idea what it is or does but may still be able to recognize its uber-popular mascot, virtual idol Hatsune Miku. Vocaloid enables users to synthesize singing by just typing in lyrics and melody. Now you can sing just like Gackt!
 
Gackpoid is tentatively set for a mid-June release this year.

 Honestly, I'm quite unfamiliar to the Vocaloid craze, but I'm no stranger to Gackt. Click here for a sample of Gackpoid titled "Grandfather's Clock"
