I agree with you here as fans are spreading this save miku campaign like a war banner and forgetting their love for her music but instead focussing on hate of other music. All under false accusations that have no proof what so ever. The main cause of the deletions are from Japan itself inorder to control distribution of Miku videos with copyrights to make a profit.

i don’t get it that much.. vocaloids, to my knowledge, is a program that started from kai and mei. since there’s not much of an official distinction, on youtube or video streaming sites, it’s hard to filter which ones are made by fans and which ones are made by the company for copyright. sometimes the fans are better than what the company makes but that’s kinda seldom if not, rare.

it’s not like we’re forgetting but we just don’t want to wake up one day not seeing any vids of vocaloids in youtube. you can say that some of us are hopeless addicts of their songs and not hearing them once in a while give us withdrawals.

on the K-pop thing.. i read before that some japanese actors are losing jobs due to the growing k-pop fandom but that is something i cannot verify. though, i could place some speculations that the rumor may started from there since it is the most plausible to anyone who would come across that info. Miku taking #1 really gives a devastating blow to any 3D popstars who worked their lungs off(?) trying to get better.

At least someone who tells the truth! Thank you for this post, now everyone will stop with that K-Popper haters thing -_- XD

Yeah but the late fans have spreading it again just because
*they want to save miku again?*
what’s this Idea but I hope this would stop… They are taking the aim on k-popers and believers… Just what I’d read… But anyway Saving Miku is done and the issue on it was closed.

Their are n00bs in every fandom and will always try to act “clever” and “supportive”. To be honest I’m glad there is someone like you out there who is spreading “sense” into the “oh so clever” fan base!

Also you say it’s been sorted?
I don’t know if any of these are related but quite a few bug videos have been taken down recently (especially off my damn playlists >W<) and they say its by "sony japan" which sounds all official and worrying…do you have any idea what's going on?

I agree very much. I told my friend who is also a fan about it and well… he kept on repeating it. Glad you posted this. I’m totally going to share this.

I also agree a lot with Shane Khiu!

uhhmm… actually, the bieber part,we didn’t say bieber was jealous, we just hate him naturally :/

Bieber IS jealous. Even Kaai Yuki’s voice is deeper than his! Also, he (alongside Lady Gaga and others) was moved to lower places because of her, too. Also, great facepalm!

An EXCELLENT point brought up. There are too many fans who are treating K-pop fans like criminals because they ASSUME that the video deletions were caused by them, without any proof, like what Shane Khiu said.
People need to think more about what is actually going on before insulting others for their loves and etc. Many thanks for bringing this up.

It is solved HERE, that’s for sure, but in some other countries Miku videos are still banned, so the problem has not gone away.

i agree too i saw on youtube “beiber your just jealous” i will spread it!And i saw on face book fanpage “I Hate Miku Hatsune”(wich not created BY ME)

oh wait before i say that thing “BYJJ” the word i will spread it it means spread your word

WOW!!!! Your the best!! Now I know why I subscribe to you and watch your videos every week. (love your video descriptions by the way, I always read them) I’m going to post this all over facebook. Yea I really hate false rumors that keep circulating because people are late. Thanks

Y’know… Some of hatsune miku fans are just dumb…
How can they not knowing this? It was such a hot news in almost otaku forum…

Especially when the case solved… I think some of the member even announce a unofficial celebration party…

There will be some songs where powerful copyright holders like Sony don’t want their property shared. This is the case with Sekiranun Graffiti since they were the publishing division.

I think fans always get into strange conclusions that make them think Miku is in trouble, and your right, Crypton doesn’t need a army of fans just for this incident, people should just let Crypton do their thing while we enjoy some of the music that is still open. Also I never knew that the problem was already fixed, but still I nevered did anything to help those Save Miku fans either.

What did you expect, its the miku fandom.

Expecting them to lie down and calmly accept something is like expecting the internet to one day be troll free.

I didn’t even realize some people thought the olympic voting and the deletion of Miku’s PVs were related. This is definitely the first time I’m hearing about it. savemiku.com doesn’t mention the voting/Korea either, and neither did the original “save Miku” videos, NicoNicoPedia (AFAIK), SAVE MIKU twitter or any other semi-trustworthy source. Maybe someone should tell savemiku.com to take the site down if there’s really no danger anymore?

I’d like to hear more about how they resolved the situation though. By ignoring all claims by this Junichi Sasa / Media Interactive / whatever party it was? Did Crypton post about it on their Facebook?

Unfortunately Vocaloid PVs are disappearing from Youtube all the time (about half of the videos in my playlists are deleted) because of copyright claims (some of which are false) and the rate seems to be nothing but increasing. I’ve given up trying to create playlists on Youtube.

Youtube worked with Crypton to put an end to false claims on Vocaloid related videos.

As for videos still disappearing, this isn’t because people are targeting those specific videos. The account that contained the video may have been flagged and removed for legit copyright claims on their other videos. It only takes three claims to have an account terminated. When that happens, all of the videos they had are removed. There’s a lot of reprint channels that reprint dozens of channels daily without even looking at the author’s terms of use or copyrights. This can result in a flag from a particularly overprotective producer.

Every fandom has an infinite potential to become annonying. specially one as fragmented as the vocaloid.

vocaloid is no rival for any kind or type of music. is a completely new universe expanding.

but most Westerners are socially conditioned to always stay alert for a “possible major external threat” against the things that are important to us. and has been at least since the Second World War, we were educated to live in fear.

if anyone still searching for somewere to make ruckus this can be a good place for that:

“Madame Tussauds x Hatsune Miku
Please help us vote for Miku in Madame Tussauds poll
Madame Tussauds Bangkok (Thailand) has now start the poll on making the new Wax model for the museum, and one of the available choice is “Hatsune Miku”! Although this Miku wax model might be available only in Thailand, this could be Miku’s first step into the world top celebrities officially.”

We didn’t down bieber.. Some of the people have used Hatsune Miku to pin justin down because they hate him… Also me.. Anyway the thread “I hate hatsun miku” had another “I hate hatsune miku 2″ right now I am searching whos with this??

I glad when her safe. thanks god i’m was hard sad when her disappear.

I think people have a right to continue posting, they WANT to save Hatsune Miku because they LOVE her. It appears to me that you don’t give a second glance and you WANT Miku gone!

Then I suggest you re-read the article. From what I gathered from your response, you didn’t read it at all. I’ve contributed far more to Miku’s sake than most people.

Glad to hear the clear statement. Thanks.

Hey JHARBORT can you please stop ACTING LIKE A SAVIOR OF MIKU???
MANY PEOPLE THAN YOU HAVE COMMENTED WHEN SHE WAS GONE TO THE LIST….
SUDDENLY YOUR COMMENT HAVE A DEEP MEANING TO MAKE IT OUT ON ADMINS MIND.. AND DON’T THINK THAT YOURE THE ONLY ONE WHO SAVED MIKU BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE MANY FANS HAD A MOST CARE FOR HER!!! DONT YOU THANK THEM BECAUSE THEY HAD A CARE FOR MIKU????
WE GIVE ALL TO MIKU AND ALSO MIKU SAID THAT..
NOT ONLY YOU!!
WHAT THE….

i agree with you and i hope this incident will be not happening anymore ^^

Glad to hear…..

but i’m curios…. why this news is so late to be published?

but anyways, VERY PLEASE TO HEAR THIS…

thanks for the good article. I’ll admit some of us did jump the gun on the thing for the Olympics. But not all of us are being hateful about it either, I have not touched any videos and was peacefully trying to fix the situation. But I have seen other things that make me think that the help is still relevant. Recently saw some very popular Miku videos get taken down for copyright reporting, and they were brought back up, but it still seems to be going on. Even though it isn’t as crazy as it was, I think there is at least reason to watch closely

@Toshimiku deyatsune Xvocaloid: Please re-read. The admins of TheTopTens clearly acknowledged my argument and agreed to add her back after what I said. I also clearly said that the entire community was slamming the site with messages, and that the admins of Miku’s Facebook said thank you to EVERYONE involved. But I guess you missed those bits.

R U sure it is Koreans?
I’m Korean and most Korean don’t know about ‘Save Miku.’
I knew this from a web cafe. Why does Korean has to be a victim?
Of course I love Miku.And there is a lot of people who like Miku and Vocaloid in korea. I’m not sure Korean fan club will do things such as making Vocaloid videos out of Youtube.

I said it’s NOT Koreans. Don’t worry.

I hope all Miku fans read this post

Thank you Very much for this… there still some Save miku places…

I’ll try to talk to them and shared this thing…

Thank you again!

Yeaah . Save Miku every one ! Miku & Vocaloid will always be in my heart 4ever ;;)

Yeaah . Save Miku every one ! Miku & Vocaloid will always be in my heart 4ever ;;)

And for the one who delete miku, please stop u bi**h
I don’t wanna miku to disappear..

@Natalya Nacchan
Save Miku. It’s the people’s on youtube’s choice to reamove the videos or its copyright. Miku is a voice program, I like her but its just that people think she will disappear just like that. while there is a source called Nico Nico Douga? . _.’

*Correction
Save Miku? really?

I saw you talking to another uploader of new “Save Miku” video and i am sure you really are pissed off by them know.
Well i can´t say i am not but aside that..
great vieo uploads jr! ^^

I’m mildly amused how people mistook your means when you said it so clearly in your posting, Jharbort.
I think most people should just read and understand it before posting.

Actually I found it funny people were so upset about the whole thing- they were enacting like Miku was being killed overall- just Miku.

“The problem with video deletions had been solved by Google and Crypton over two months ago”

Please stop spreading this falsehood.
The problem is not solved by Crypton or Google.
It’s just that Crypton knows the problem since more than 2 months ago. The problem is not solved.

And we still don’t know who “Sasa Junichi” is.
All we know about him is he isn’t a copyright holder and he was making false reports.
He can do the same thing again. Threat still remains.

However, I agree that people should stop posting “Save Miku” videos.
The purpose of “Save Miku” is not to promote re-uploading the videos.

Videos stopped disappearing with false claims two months ago (at the very least, no longer on the same scale they were disappearing). I’ve yet to see a single new one in quite a while now. That alone kind of speaks for itself.

I’m really glad I found this, I found out about the problem long after it had stopped. My sweet Miku, please continue to sing for us.

I love you miku

I was in the group for a long time now and i was happy to meet other fans there from around the world but after a local campaign that i thought was good was in the eys of others making us look like blamers and haters too. it defeated the purpose of what i wanted to do. this was a real eye opener. This isn’t the way to go. for all the others that are in a similar situation that i was in i hope this was a good reality check for you too.
