I get kind of nervous when it comes to western mainstream media and VOCALOID coming together... especially in the states. Past instances have shown some ill-informed reporters and journalists covering the topic, as well as some pretty iffy reception of VOCALOID altogether, since there is hardly ever any coverage on the technology and creativity that makes it as successful as it is, just on the characters in the forefront. I still feel that if someone were to make a mainstream documentary about it ALL, more people would be inclined to see it in a different light, rather than the "weeaboos getting hyped up about a dancing anime character and wasting time and money" comments that are always cropping up with folks who refuse to know better on their own. :-/

But despite this, it is pretty exciting that Miku's audience will blow up in numbers that night, a lot of folks in my area keep their eye on late-night television talk shows to get a more light-hearted version of current events going on in the world today. I'm really hoping they do Miku some justice in this... both in song choice and introduction. This is definitely a major turning point for not only her but the VOCALOID franchise in general. :-3
