Come to Japan with Kizuna AI - General

So, [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1594640"]after getting a actual freaking TV show[/URL], this happens: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh3onXAPvco[/media] [t]https://i.imgur.com/eEAHvua.png[/t] Seems like it will be a series of new tourist stuff. Why Kizuna of all things to pull people in? I dont know.

It's like a cheese grater applied directly to the ear.

New York branch, can she auto trade my stock portfolio for me, thanks.

[QUOTE=helifreak;53173567]It's like a cheese grater applied directly to the ear.[/QUOTE] It's not the best voice for doing a tourism ad, not gonna lie. I'm more surprised that the [B]JAPANESE TOURISM BOARD[/B] went with Kizuna over something standard like a normal voice over. Maybe they want to pivot it more towards the western weeb crowd?

replace this whore with miku pls

logan pauls japan vlogs but it's motiontracked to k. ai

Why do her fingers bend back like the Grinch?

[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;53173638]Why do her fingers bend back like the Grinch?[/QUOTE] Sometimes she also bends her arms backwards a bit too much for comfort. You'd think that after the rise in popularity they'd iron out the problems the rig has. Rotation constraints aren't that hard.

i got into this shit because of a certain PUBG video i saw and posted in the PUBG thread lmao i saw it in my recommended feed aND GUESS WHAT i actually like it i thought it was pretty entertaining i apologize to humankind really

Kizuna AI and English post? This is madness.

[QUOTE=helifreak;53173567]It's like a cheese grater applied directly to the ear.[/QUOTE] Please search Kaguya Luna.

at some point japan needs to recognize they're not a bunch of very skinny very tall white girls with helium filled voices. but till then, keep being weird you weird silly country.

[QUOTE=LittleFenrir;53174074]Please search Kaguya Luna.[/QUOTE] Yeah that's worse for sure. Admittedly I didn't actually get past the first 15 seconds because I assumed the whole video was like that, upon skipping through the video I realise they swapped back to real words with subs. My bad I guess.

[video]https://youtu.be/euBac2B071M[/video] [editline]3rd March 2018[/editline] Legit thought at least use Miku or something. I think she's better deserving than Kizuna Ai

[QUOTE=LittleFenrir;53174074]Please search Kaguya Luna.[/QUOTE] Oh come on, I don't think she's THAT bad... [video]https://youtu.be/TR5NArpzCUM[/video]

weeboids actually think this is a learning machine or what

[QUOTE=dustyjo;53174205]Oh come on, I don't think she's THAT bad... [video]https://youtu.be/TR5NArpzCUM[/video][/QUOTE] She sounds like someone is doing a Chuckie Finster impression

[QUOTE=dustyjo;53174205]Oh come on, I don't think she's THAT bad... [video]https://youtu.be/TR5NArpzCUM[/video][/QUOTE] I'm in love.

[QUOTE=WJS;53174226]weeboids actually think this is a learning machine or what[/QUOTE] no one actually believes this.

Also, "weeboids?" what the fuck lol

[I]oof[/I] sorry didn't mean to step on your toes [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Shitpost" - Shendow))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=WJS;53174859][I]oof[/I] sorry didn't mean to step on your toes[/QUOTE] The only person you're embarrassing is yourself.

Uh if you say so, think this is being taken more seriously than it needs to be, don't you? I don't feel embarrassed over a thread about 3d anime girls sorry if i've offended anyone with an innocent shitpost that wasn't even targeted at anyone lmao, the hivemind is real Also I'm really surprised that they used this as their mascot/ambassador instead of a regular voiceover/actor, I get that they're aiming for a specific market and all but some people might see this and be like "what the fuck?" At least there's plenty of alternative tourism boards for the would-be travellers to choose from.

If you think this is weird then you must not have seen OS-tan, or Domino's weird attempt at raising awareness of their stores in Japan with the "have fun with hatsune miku" app. EDIT It's not really "targeting a specific audience", it's taking advantage of a current growing trend.

[QUOTE=Lord of Boxes;53175062]I never said I was offended I just thought your post was shit.[/QUOTE] That's cool, time to move on lol, not even worth it. [editline]1[/editline] I'm not too well-informed on this Kizuna thing but I'm assuming it's a company that does it with a mocap rig or something similar to FaceRig, right?
