Morinaga Milk recently uploaded a 30-sec commercial featuring Snow Miku to their YouTube channel. In the commercial, Miku tastes their new “syrup and snow” product and attempts – but fails – to properly sing out the sensation that she gets from it.
Fans are thus encouraged to submit their own slogan for the new product through the slogan campaign. On their official site, you can see some of the slogans that fans are submitting, as well as the other 30-sec commercials featuring other celebrities trying to come up with one of their own. The best fan-submitted slogans will eventually get used in actual commercials for the new product.
What would you come up with?

Ken Fujimoto of DTM Station Creative Label has uploaded a sample trailer for the upcoming album “Sing Truly” on YouTube. Featuring vocals by Sato Sasara and IA English C, it makes for a truly impressive display of how advanced voice synth technology has progressed.
The album is the result of the collaborative research between the Nagoya Institute of Technology‘s International Speech Technology Research Center, and venture company Techno-Speech, Inc. Together, they used state-of-the-art technology to create the AI singing voice synth system utilized by the album. It’s first album ever to use such a system, and the results certainly speak for themselves! (No punch intended)
The song samples in trailer is “いつかかならず / Itsuka Kanarazu (Surely Someday)” by 多田彰文 ・Akifumi Tada. The album will be officially released on April 28 at the M3 doujin event.
