NEwest Vocaloids strutting their stuff:
"Megupoid/GUMI" based on Ranka Lee's seiyuu from Macross Frontier
And "Sonika" an English-language version of the software.

Heh. At $183 CAD, I won't be able to afford it anytime soon. Not to mention it probably won't run on a non-Japanese install of Windows...

Sonika has a deal right now at $99 us for download only, and is designed for
english-language installs. I know from a friend's experience that the Megupoid or the other Japanese Vocaloids will work with an English-language system
running Vista.. and, I'd presume, Windows 7. Admittedly, the menus are in Japanese....
Though, you DO have to pay via PayPal....

So I click on this to listen to it while reading more messages, and watch until the performer sits down... and just as I'm about to switch windows, I hit the "what the hell" moment. Suffice it to say, I did not switch windows...

Grrrr. I can't force a line break between those two players regardless of what I try -- they either erase anything between them and sit on the same
"line", or one disappears. That's very annoying.
