Miku... in Shibuya?

Hearing Hatsune Miku's voice in the streets of Akihabara is normal. Waaaaaaayyy normal. But how about along the street of Center Gai in Shibuya, the home of the young and trendy?

My cousins and I were having dinner there, and I thought I heard something familiar. It was Miku's voice coming out from the speaker above, singing my fave Miku song "Melt" :3 Her voice resonated throughout the entire street!



To promote the latest album by the synthesizer-voiced wonder, advertisements were placed on the lamp-posts of this busy street. Supercell, a group of composer geniuses in NicoNicoDouga, remastered their Miku songs and came out with a major debut album.



Needless to say, it became a BIG hit. It became 2nd place in the ORICON album chart. It was sold out in Amazon and Sony Music Japan in an instant. Heck, even the TV commercial looks awesome. (Yes there's a TV commercial!)



Looks like it's Akiba time this week! ^_^ I'm just glad that Miku and Supercell are gaining the wider recognition they deserve.
