Windows Live Messenger + Nico Nico Douga

Just read the great news from Danny Choo. Apparently Microsoft is going to release a version of Windows Live Messenger that connects directly to Nico Nico videos! Yay~ :)

It's the first time that a corporate company (apart from Crypton Future Media, duh) used Hatsune Miku in advertising. Microsoft picked out regular contributors of Nico Nico to create the online advert. Microsoft has announced that they'll release it on TV this month.

Here's the CM, showing Miku walking around in Microsoft's Akasaka office:



Look at all those MSN icons flying about! The title is "The Song of Nico Nico Messe", Messe being the abbreviation of Messenger. What better way to teach the software features than to have Miku singing it out. Glad to see a giant company recognize Miku's kyootness :3

Sing along everyone! Messe, messe, messe, messe...
