...at least for a little while. As the day of her fifth anniversary draws to a close, here's a very high quality representation of the lady in a short (two minute) video – no song, just an instrumental track. It's something worth seeing at least once in a lifetime...
The reference to '0401' is because of the number tattooed on her upper left arm, where the Crypton CV series have their numbers. The 'Twin Drill' reference relates to Teto's hair, which looks like a pair of drills at the sides(!)
This video seems to have been produced in advance of her voicebank being released last year, as far as I can determine...

Bespectacled Teto
Happy birthday Teto!
To celebrate a bit more than I have already done, here is a very good (as one would expect, with its creator's reputation) model by Lat of Teto in a song whose title I cannot work out. If I find out later I'll add it here.
Similarly, I have no English words to offer, as sometimes happens however hard I search, but as always with what I select (at least I hope it's always!) the material is enjoyable enough anyway.
I think the glasses suit her quite well – which isn't always the case with Vocaloid and Utauloid characters – but you can judge for yourself right now...

Medway (Easter) Monday 2013
It was interesting going out shopping this morning and returning soon after midday, to see how quiet Chatham town centre was – I'd say little more than a third its normal level of activity at that time on a weekday.
However, inside the Pentagon Centre, it was more like somewhere between half and two-thirds normal activity level, say three-fifths or thereabouts for a rough-and-ready figure. This includes inside Sainsbury, which seemed to be a little over half its usual weekday 'footfall' level at this time (around 11.30 to 11.50 am).
The only outdoor situation that closely resembled normality was outside a couple of the four pubs I pass on my way to and from the Pentagon, one of which has no provision for 'street patronage' (for want of a better term) anyway. In Military Road, though, the usual size gathering outside the Prince of Wales showed that some institutions are scarcely affected by the significance of the day.
Whether or not that is a good thing I cannot say; but there it is...
I have no idea what the other Medway town centres were like, but I thought this brief first-hand snapshot might be useful to place on the public record.

I Can SeeU – Most of the Time
There's a few seconds of blackout during this part of SeeU's live concert, but it's still very much worth it, even though this is just a video-recording from within the audience, and it shows. That still doesn't detract too markedly from this video, though, and it is really quite enjoyable, showing a different version of SeeU's character design.
Even with her hair cur almost as short as (say) Annie Lennox, SeeU still displays much of her distinctive femininity in this item, whose title I haven't even attempted to translate (after my disastrous effort to decipher the Hangeul for another title a few days ago – something you never had to see!) and it works well on stage too. At least we know the title: Good Bye...

April Fool and Teto Day
I have already seen a few April Fool jokes appear on-line, including Google Nose (don't ask!) but perhaps more significantly in some ways, it is also the anniversary of the release ('birth') of Utauloid Teto Kasane as a joke character.
Teto became so popular that her creators were effectively compelled to keep her going, including providing a proper voicebank for her...and here we are five years later, and it's all still going just as strongly.
Here's a kind of signature song, "Kasane Territory (Always Teto's Turn)" which is a bit of fun and nonsense with cartoon-style graphics and guest appearances from a few characters of whom everyone should by now recognise at least two. It seems entirely appropriate, and makes a lot more sense than some of the things I have been reading since midnight...
