Kids React to Hatsune Miku
Mon 2011/10/03 02:57 JST
KIDS REACT recently showed a clip from Hatsune Miku's Giving Day concert to American kids and video taped their reactions.
Some of these kids are quite hilarious.
Seen it - Surprised how many of them never heard about her or seen on YT..
you know, not many people actually go to youtube looking at anime meme, especially if they are just into watching stupid random videos or music videos
Here's the link to the video for those who are interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egcfC7PCneQ
Even with Toyota's advertising campaign with Hatsune Miku and Mikunopolis, I'm actually not surprised that these children in particular have no idea who she is. After all, she and the other Vocaloids are still a niche phenomenon (at least that's how I still see it).

Their reactions are too hilarious. rofl
Urrggd, those kids are sooo anoying...wait i'm still in high school so i'm techinicaly a kid too...but anyway, so she's a synthesiser, the music is still real! please check out my post on the best vocaloid song and cast your vote ^^
"BUT SHE'S NOT EVEN REAL!" LOLOLOLOL!!!
This video annoys me...the kids reactions annoy me. I mean, they just don't understand us otaku. We are awesome, and I don't want anyone to forget that. :D
just take it with a grain of salt...
Indeed, it's just for laughs and the kids didn't mean any harm XD
Lol yeah, you guys are right. I think I overreacted... But yurp, this was interesting! :D
I'm not an otaku and I like Miku's singing.
I see these kids grown up being forced to watch Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. It's really all we (As in the u.s.a. anyway) have for our younger audience.
That is soooo funny!!!, but Im glad there were positive replies and comments.
But I guess it will not catch up soon because it is not a real person....
Hatsune is real ... T_T(sob sob) in my heart. All our otaku hearts.
*sigh* American Kids..........-__-
How sad lol.
Some people take this too serious, I thought these kids were hilarious, they made my day really.
I agree! I thought the kids' reactions was cute~
These kids aren't dumb or sheep just because they don't know who Miku is ^^; The internet is a big place...
How sad of these kids...
our kids was amazed when they watched this concert of Miku they even liked her dancing
they were questioning me if she was real
surly they know her before because of me getting her figma displayed @v@
yup... my hatred of children has increased, and i don't particularly care for miku either but seems like these kids are all just mainstream followers which is sad considering they have access to computers younger and younger these days.
Wow they really talk like the producers who worried about the invasion of robots XD
But even the adults have those thinking too :)
dem old fossils want us to listen to so called " real " singer while i swear some of them sound like a dead horse rofl. . .
Actually when we talk about music or other arts, I think we could say "don't like" sth, but never compare what you love to what you don't like cuz it's sth about the feelings =3=.
Besides they obviously know nothing about vocaloid XD.
In addition, I think if they let those boys saw a 3D-Kratos with his killing-spree scenes, the boy may say "oh he is my IDOL", not what they had said as they talked about Vocaloid X)
yeah, you got a point = 3 = .
I'm not sure if they were informed correctly, end product of what we hear is generated by software but the voice that was modeled and sampled was based on real person.
Not sure if that changes any point of view, not that I care I like Miku :)
"machines shouldn't be pop stars!"...lolololol
...well that's what they called "rise of the machines"...XD
There American kids what do you expect .... it is funny I like their reactions ...growing up here the US we are taught that cartoons are for children and some of us buy into it and the lucky ones discover anime ^^ and the Japanese culture .... but if the kids only knew how over produced their American pop-stars are believe me anime pop-stars would be no different ...lol glad they we're exposed to it early maybe they will learn more .....
Kids are kids, they only know what they were taught, seen, talked about in their life. They still have room to grow up there before they can develop opinion on their own.
yes kids are kids we are all condition at a young age and it all carries on into adulthood but children do have an opinion from the get go and they aren't afraid to show it lol....unlike most adults ..Im glad that this children are exposed to different cultures
"Children.... Why you no like Miku?!"
No no not at all Miku is cool ...maybe to many Nendos but now I see why she is huge in Japan .... I don't follow J-POP so I didn't know anything about her
They aren't afraid to show it? I'm sure there are some but they also care about "fitting in" and not looking like oddball. If Miku gets on the mainstream popularity (someday) I'm sure their opinion will change because it's accepted widely all sudden.
I hope so it would be cool .... I mean we already have transformers bakugan pokeman beyblade power rangers ....so anime that have made the jump maybe POP artists would bring a refreshing change to the damage of over produced no talent singers anyways .....
I was quite amused. Poor things didn't know what was coming. The only thing I don't like how they kept comparing her to Pokemon :P. At least they were honest and gave their opinions. I still find myself giggling though ^_^ teehee!
This one definitely made my day LAWL
Haha that was quite funny.
I find it funny that they kept saying it was fake though. Someone still had to compose and play the piece :P.
Well, that's a reaction from normal kids and first timers.
That was too funny when that kid said Hannah Montana started acting like a hooker....LOL!!!
This was very amusing seeing their reactions. I can see that to someone who has no idea what is going on, watching something like that would blow their mind...lol! I get weird reactions just from people hearing her music because I have Miku's World is Mine set as my ringtone. I couldn't even imagine how they would react if I had them watch her live in concert. XD
The video is cute ~ I can't believe users are acting like this. So what that the children don't know who Miku is, it's not like it matters. It doesn't make them any less intelligent because they don't know what a Vocaloid is.
*sighs* Figures this would turn into a giant "Oooh ~ the USA is so stupid" tangent. I mean, really? -and no, in America we don't just believe cartoons are for kids. If you're going to speak for the whole of the country, at least get it right.
let me use one saying to summarise my though "沒文化真可怕 (translation: being uncivilised is so terrible)
