Powerpuff Girls, a nostalgic cartoon series from Cartoon Network, will be forming a collaboration with Hatsune Miku and Vocaloids this coming Summer 2012.

This collaboration is to commemorate the 10th Anniversay of Powerpuff Girls airing in Japan.
Having my favourite cartoon from my childhood to team-up with Vocaloid is truly a personal satisfaction.

The "Powerpuff Girls" characters were created by Craig McCracken back in 1992, with a prototype short-animation film aired in 1995. The first airing in Japan started since 2001, and is now broadcasted in 168 countries worldwide, while gaining popularity from a wide range of children. Hatsune Miku, a singing software called "Vocaloid" that "sings a song" based on the lyrics and notes input, using "Hatsune Miku" as the vocals. Products have been published under the Vocaloid name, from CDs to even holding a live performance.


This time, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Japanese airing of Powerpuff Girls, a collaboration with Hatsune Miku has been formed. Vocaloids, such as Hatsune Miku, the Kagamine Twins, Rin and Len and even Megurine Luka, will be dressed in "Powerpuff Girl" costumes and deformed in accordance to the Powerpuff design for the heroines, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup.


The world-famous characters are set to receive collaborative products, scheduled to appear one after another this summer. More information on the "Powerpuff Girls x Hatsune Miku" collaboration will be posted at the official website in the future.

Lat Miku Dancing on Your palm - Now available on Android

Tenorin, an augmented reality (AR) Android app by KDDI, that enables users to have character models dance on their palms, was recently updated with a new MMD model that features the popular Lat. Type Miku model.

The model's availablility was announced by renowned MMDPV director/creator MASATAKA, on his Twitter and Facebook page. The Lat Miku model herself (or itself?) is a winning design from a previous contest, the Tenorin Hatsune Miku Original Costume Contest in collaboration with PIAPRO.

Android users may download the free Tenorin app from the Google Play Store. Once installed, users will be able to download the Lat Miku mod for free via Tenorin's Market option.

MMD users may also download the model itself for usage in MMD at the Tenorin website.

And now for a little showcase of how the app works on my Galaxy Nexus. Note that the Lat Miku mod must be set as the default model first, under "Downloaded Data"

Users will first be asked to set their palms as shown on the screenshot above.

Once properly positioned, Miku will then appear on the user's palm and start dancing to a new song, Happy Happy☆Orange (ハピハピ☆オレンジ)

However, the palm detection may be a little fuzzy if the user's palm is not held still - Miku may disappear and re-appear all over the screen if not held correctly.
