I hope you’re not too overloaded with Vocaloid merchandise after Christmas, because DaniwellP has decided to toss another awesome gift our way. As most educated Vocaloid fans should know, the original Nya! meme was started by DaniwellP on nicovideo back in July 2010. The song was used in various videos and even remade countless times, until it finally hit gold status on a global scale with Nyan Cat.

To celebrate the massive success of his original creation, DaniwellP is releasing a special album with many of his popular feline related tracks, as well as various remixes! With 22 bright and cheerful tracks, you can bet it will lift your mood and put a smile on your face. The album is currently listed on cdjapan for 1905 yen, although they also ship internationally. The first press is sold out, so there’s no bonus items. The album is set to ship on February 1st.

If you know of other (and possibly cheaper) sources, please post them in the comments!

And with that, enjoy this preview of the album posted by the artist himself.

The Top Tens, a community voting site, has recently opened up an online poll that allows users to vote on the singers they would like to see perform at the 2012 Olympic games (hypothetical of course). Most surprisingly, Hatsune Miku has shown up on the list!

In a matter of 12 hours, she’s moved from rank #91 to rank #39. If you want to take a look and cast a vote for yourself, you can do so here. This is a perfect opportunity to attract publicity from online readers.

Getting her into the top 10 will be difficult, but we’ll see what happens!

EDIT 1/13/2012 10:09PM: After a few message exchanges with the admins on their message board, Miku has been added back to the site!

If you wish to read the other edits to get an idea of what happened earlier, read the entire post.

Hatsune Miku Mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

No doubt one of the biggest (and buggiest) games of 2011 has to be Skyrim. So it was only natural that people from within the Vocaloid community would find a way to import a model of Hatsune Miku into the game. Be warned, people who like to think of Miku as an innocent and non-violent character may want to look away from the following video.

The model does have it’s faults, though, mainly being the lack of any hair physics. But for a first attempt, it’s pretty interesting. You can find information and a download for the mod in the description of the video here.

EDIT: Thanks to a video by SeyrenLK, it seems there is even a leek/sword mod to go with it.
