While we have one of tourbux's SeeU models with that orange-and-black (here it's orange and yellow) striped jumper in frame, lets watch her in a variation of that outfit – minus the cap and wearing slacks instead of the thigh-highs – at her first ever concert.
The song, Good-bye, is quite catchy. All it needs are the English words, which hopefully I shall find one of these days. In the meantime, despite the less than ideal quality of this video, it is still quite enjoyable, I have found, and I suspect most of us can live with it on this occasion...

Hare Hare SeeU
Hare Hare Yukai (Sunny Sunny Happiness) has always been a lovely song with a great – and very distinctive – dance routine, but put one of tourbux's excellent SeeU models in pole position and it becomes even better than usual.
Thanks to the usual top-quality motion we have come to expect with SeeU, this works really well, aided by two human dancers (no fellows this time) performing the full-length version...

Parish Notice 26 April 2013 – Oops!
I have been clearing out old posts, partly because my space allocations (primarily for images) was getting low, and because a number of links and embedded videos were no longer current.
I decided (on close inspection) that everything more than a year old ought to go: it was a hard decision, but picking and choosing would achieve little if anything of value. The older posts have served their purpose, and I and my readers can safely move on. Hopefully there aren't any remaining links in the posts that remain to any of those that have now gone; but I apologise in advance if I have missed any.
There has been an 'oops' moment, though, when – in one of those annoying (and all too frequent) Blogger jam-ups when one has to force a page re-load to get any response at all, the page of posts I was on switched back to the most recent. That's a bug (one of many in Blogger) as the page ID was clearly part of the displayed URL.
Anyway, as I had also just been interrupted by a courier asking me to take in a parcel for one of the other flats here, I wasn't quite with-it enough to realise what had happened. Therefore I have accidentally deleted the last three dozen or so posts – so, if you wonder where they have gone, that's the reason!
It's just one of those days today...
ADDENDUM: A few of the older posts were still bringing in fairly high daily pageviews, so were skewing current figures upward, which was misleading. I'd had a feeling about this for a while, having been mentally noting the page-views for each of the most recent few dozen posts and realising that my daily figures were too much higher than they ought to have been.
Of course there'd be some element of popular and more timeless posts contributing to current statistics, but not that much. Therefore this clean-out should henceforth result in more appropriate numbers, and I shall be watching to see just how much difference this exercise makes in practice.
UPDATE: I've just discovered that my original one Gigabyte limit has been increased to 5 GB, so I needn't have bothered with this exercise anyway(!)

Telling Our World
The quality of Vocaloid presentation just keeps getting better, with good, positive uses of technology that are infinitely more valuable to society than military applications. If only the world would sit up and listen, especially the idiotic (and Satanic) politically leftward-leaning and similar parts of this planet, such as North Korea and Iran among others.
If it came to a straight choice (and I am aware that it is unlikely ever to be that simple, sadly), which would you rather have: international nuclear war or something positive even if not considered all that highly significant in the grand scheme of things?
Well, at least Miku urges everyone to Tell Your World, with this superb video of one of her most famous ever songs. We have something of Augmented Reality behind this, though I haven't yet worked out the precise relationship as it obviously isn't being inserted into a live environment here.
As far as I have been able to discover, it (and more than we see here) was produced with that aim in mind, so that it could be presented in an Augmented Reality manner, similar to Vocafarre, which I have covered in the past...

Vocaloid Cinema Party 2013 Report
This year's Vocaloid Cinema Party featured '4k' videos on a suitably large screen, shown at the only venue in Japan that is currently equipped to handle the Ultra High Definition format that I have outlined recently. This fan-based event was held at Ginza in Tokyo on 9 March.
Here's a report from Miku's YouTube channel that includes excerpts from three of the videos shown at the event; and even though here they are in a maximum resolution of standard '2k' High Definition, the clarity of the imagery is still outstanding...
