Just announced by Mikatan’s blog, Good Smile company will be producing a nendoroid edition (cute-ified mini PVC figurines) of the famous Japanese vocaloid Hatsune Miku. After the earthquake hit Eastern Japan a couple of weeks ago, a lot of people there are still struggling to find a bit of comfort in life again.

Good Smile Company, a very famous figurine/nendoroid/figma manufacturer based in  Tokyo decided to make a special edition of a previously released nendoroid model from the highly acclaimed VOCALOID Hatsune Miku. Vocaloid, is a technology where a human voice can be mimmicked by virtual synthesizers and produce songs, the technology is getting closer and closer to replicate very naturally resonating voices. Hatsune Miku is one of the most famous in the vocaloid series.

A very nice gesture from Good Smile company to produce a gadget in aid to supply the own country’s current needs.

If you are into this, and wish to buy one to help the people from the tsunami disaster. Do note that the figure is only purchaseable from the Good Smile Online Shop , very high quality for a mere 3000 Yen.
