Just found out about this news~ And it seems it isn't reported on any English websites yet~
On June 8th, YAMAHA hosted a Nico Nico Douga live stream and released news about the upcoming successor of the Vocaloid system - Vocaloid 3 (called Vocaloid 3 editor)
As I read through, it looks like they are really shooting for making Vocaloid a multi-language and international culture trend. I will do my best to give a summary of the event information.
Hi hi~ The new anime convention season is coming up again this year!
Are you ready? Cannot wait or wish there can be more time for you to finish costumes, and all the preparation works? <- like me xD|||
I have a mixed feeling of both~
Yukie again will be quite busy for this coming summer~
I'll have live shows and events at FanimeCon 2011 in May, KintokiCon 2011 in June, Anime Expo 2011 in July, and Genki 2011 in Denmark in Aguest.
Plus release of my new song this year ;)
For Fanime 2011, I'll have something new for everyone~ ^^
I know this is not news for those like me that have been following the anime series. I waited and waited for the last 2 episodes, and they finally were broadcasted by MBS.
What do you think?
Trying not to put any spoilers here, but I think it made the story finally goes to a conclusion and I like how the story has been laying down many hints in each episode. I'm happy that my guess about the "truth" after watching episode 10 was actually right. ;)
Some of my friends said, they feel depressed after the anime is done. But knowing it has been such a big success, I'm sure there will be more things following up!
Many Madoka related products are coming out:
Hi Everyone!

Nico Nico Douga is a popular video streaming site in Japan. In the last 1.5 days, the "likes" on their Facebook page increased from 300 to over 1000. I'm sure many many anime fans like me are super excited about it!
