The storm still isn’t finished, and it’s already caused a lot of problems and destruction for millions of people on the East coast of the United States. The hurricane was so severe, it was disrupting internet communications between certain areas of the U.S. and Europe (I was unable to access the blog for a large part of the day yesterday).

Mishaps with mother nature aren’t fun, as we’ve seen in the past with the quake and tsunami in Japan, as well as Katrina. I know many of you who live in the majorly hit areas probably can’t read this right now, but I wish for the safety and well being for everyone involved.

This PV was originally created as a tribute to the tsunami disaster last year, but I feel it is appropriate due to the somewhat similar circumstances. Hopefully the music will help ease the pain.

To help further expand MikuFan’s reationship with the community, I’m happy to announce two new partner sites: VocaDB and their sister site, Virtual Emotions.

VocaDB is a massive and highly useful database to assist you in finding detailed information on specific songs, albums, or even individual producers and record labels. For me, this website has proven to be an invaluable resource time and time again. The best part is that the database grows with the help of fans. Your knowledge and contributions are greatly appreciated!

The second site, Virtual Emotions, explains themselves rather well on their “About” page: Welcome to Virtual Emotions – the fruits of labor between three very different Vocaloid enthusiasts. This website is meant to be any true Vocaloid fan’s homepage – with news, reviews, announcements, art, and translations. This website is the sister-site to VocaDB, and a supporter of the Vocaloid Movement.

For those of you who just cant get enough Vocaloid related news and information, I hope that these sites and resources will prove quite useful to you. You can find them linked in the partner list to the right.
