While Miku’s first concert in Japan was reported worldwide, this LA event was covered by a local news team from the area. — Watch as they try to make sense of it all after the break!

Nyan Nyan Cat gets an origin story -- (Video)

I’m going to be honest, I’m a little late to this whole Nyan Nyan cat thing even though I’ve seen everyone else talking about. Seriously, up until this video I didn’t even know who or what this thing was. Well, if you’re in the same boat as me or a relgiously faithful Nyan follower then here’s the origin of how it all came about.

The Japanese ghost prank that just keeps on giving - Video

So the ghost in the mirror is quite horrifying by itself but then having Ringu styled girls with long black hair tear through the walls and chase the poor dude was a nice touch.

Toyota tries its hand at throwing Miku Hatsuna (Vocaloid) into an ad

Look who’s making an interesting appearance in Toyota’s latest US campaign to advertise the Corolla. Why it’s none other than Miku Hatsune, the anime mascot for Yamaha’s Vocaloid software. The choice to include her an mainstream ad does seem odd but it’ll no doubt make tons of weeaboos point to their screen and squeel in applause.
