Hey all :X A good majority of my profile images I've gathered from the Japanese site Piapro (I'm no artist). I just found a nice blog that shows you how to sign up for an account on the Japanese site Piapro:

The Piapro site is mainly a collection of songs, lyrics and illustrations revolving around the VOCALOID synthesis system.

VOCALOID is a system created by YAMAHA that alows users to enter lyrics to songs, and the software will "sing" these lyrics using the voice of the current vocal library. The site revolves around the major VOCALOID:

* Hatsune Miku
* Kagamine Rin / Len
* MEIKO
* KAITO

There are also a few secondary characters you might see:

* Yowane Miku - A joke character created to show the Hatsune Miku purchased by people with no ability to fully utilize her. A "downer" version :)

* Kasane Teto - Another joke, a character made on the popular Japanese BBS 2chan, and popularized by a fake page

* Akita Neru - And another 2chan joke :p Made to be a sort of preppy teen, and a mix of Hatsune Mike and Kagamine Rin.

Note that this is a Japanese community, so randomly busting out English probably isn't a good idea. They'll get confused as to how you even managed to signup :p If you really want to drop someone a note, let me know and I can write up what you want to say and copy and paste it to you. Then I'll show you where to put it.
