Hatsune Miku 86 / TRD 86 in Tokyo - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

hashiriya1 · 09-24-2012, 09:27 PM

Was in Japan last week on business, stopped by a Toyota showroom.
Right now there is a huge Hatsune Miku craze in Japan, and Toyotas aren't immune.

Call me crazy, but the 86 "itasha" doesn't look half bad.

Took these pics a few days ago.

Here is a list of touges in Japan which customers have said are best for the
GT86. Unsurprisingly, most of them are in Gunma prefecture. ]
I have driven on two of them and can imagine how fun they would be in an 86.

Picked up some brochures!

This page is cool. It says "Let's go to the touge." on the bottom-left corner.

Sweet! I have no idea what Hatsune Miku is, but I kinda like the anime graphics on the sides of cars lately. Not really sure why.

Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid (the very first one made actually) from Yamaha.... a synthetic singer to digitally create songs. Basically open source singer for artists to create music with. Personally, 'she' is my favorite Vocaloid and has some pretty cool songs:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Dqb6uJ8WY"]ï½¢Moetron-Subsï½£ Hatsune Miku - "Love is War" 3DPV (English Subs) - YouTube[/ame]

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G85GUfuJTg4"]Ryo supercell feat. Hatsune Miku - Sekiranun Graffiti (720P) - YouTube[/ame]

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up8NTTkokJc"]Hatsune Miku - STOMP THE ENEMY - VOCALOID - YouTube[/ame]

Vocaloids 'perform' in live concerts too:

And when you see "Hagane Miku" mentioned this is the side of Miku you get:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWI4ase_OX8"]ã€Hatsune Mikuã€‘ dope disco ã€English lyrics/Translation by meã€‘ - YouTube[/ame]

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5pN8chU9nI"]Hagane Miku- Ave Maria - YouTube[/ame]

I guess you can say I like Miku, having 6 Miku albums in my collection, the Append Miku Figma (100th Figma made) posable figure, and pre-ordered the Racing Miku sculpted figure (since the beginning of this year...) I think Miku looks better when not on cars though...

jadewbj · 09-26-2012, 11:35 AM

Sorry guys, I didn't take more pics of the TRD 86. Now you guys make me regret not doing so! Oh well, since I go to Japan often perhaps next time?
