Any Synthetiks-related news, Davecat? (Apr 2008)

Good news: South Korea’s favourite Gynoid singing star, EveR-2 Muse, has appeared in a music video!
Bad news: the music isn’t just awful, it’s godawful. I suppose there are people out there who love that kind of watered-down pop/R&B shite, but I’m not one of them.
Ah well. It’s nice to see EveR-2 Muse making something of herself, at the very least. Observe for yourself below!
What else? O, Simroid-chan, Kokoro Co. Ltd’s Synthetik dental training lass, recently made an appearance on Japanese telly, showing off her stuff. And by ‘stuff’, I mean her rubbery elastic face, and her ability to say ‘ouch’ if the dentist makes a mess of things in her mouth.
She’s pretty cute, which is a given, as she’s Actroid-chan’s sister, but the video’s a lot easier to tolerate if watching someone get their teeth worked on doesn’t affect you. Hrrr. *shudders*
And you know it’s that time of the year again. Introducing… Phoenix Studios’ Miss April, on sale now.
Don’t worry, she’s brimful of antihistamines
Out of all the Boy Toy Dolls out there, I’d have to say she’s my favourite. Is it her large brown almond eyes and long silky black hair? I do not know! But she’s got a certain je ne sais quoi, that’s for certain. Well done, Nick Black Matt McMullen!

Miss March was more my type. 😉

You take Miss March, Shi-chan and I will share Miss April. We’re naturally willing to swap. 😉

What a fun photo set that would be: the three of them together! 😉

As Christopher Titus said,
“Benedril: the 7 dollar babysitter”
I couldn’t make it through more than a few seconds of that frickin’ video. Korea has many things, but quality pop music is as elusive there as in any other industrialized country.

I knew she was in trouble as soon as I saw the stuffed bunny. And the ring. “Yup, she’s a goner.” Seconds later: *SPLAT!*
You’re quite right about the music, btw, but you knew that. I guess EVERYONE is trying to mimic Mariah. Gawd. A sure sign of the Apocalypse…
I wonder what the 4-channers are typing about it LOL But then, they’re so easily amused…
Ditto the dental work video! Agh, I could barely stand it (having visited my share). It looks like the good doctor has a sense of humor though; probably needed to cope with The Press LOL And I actually understood a lot of what they were saying; I think I must be watching too much anime :-O (In fact, I just finished “getting” Black Lagoon (yay!) )
And Ms April… wow! I think I’ll be alright in the resistance department as long as they don’t offer a black haired-blue eyed lady; mine would get awfully jealous! (She just had her birthday, by the way 🙂 )
Cheers to you and the C.C. 😉

A photo shoot featuring two Boy Toy Dolls, and everyone’s favourite Goth RealDoll?
Your ideas intrigue me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. 😉

O no no, you’re just supposed to look at the video, not listen to it! It’s K-pop; that shit will corrode your eardrums! Fact.
Personally, I don’t think there’s been any quality pop music since the Seventies, but I would say that. I’d be happy to be proven wrong, though.
PBS and the silicone girls, and kitty –
If they were to make a Mariah Carey Gynoid, that project would have my full support… as long as she didn’t sound like Mariah Carey. Also, having her be not completely insane is very important.
You’re right, that music video was entirely predictable. Most are, but that kinda went out of its way. MELODRAMATIC SENTIMENT + DUMB TRAGEDY = TURGID POP VIDEO
If EveR-2 Muse wants to start singing Quality Pop Music, she should hook up with Serge Gainsbourg. I don’t care if Serge died years ago; this is all in aid of quality.
And it sounds like you might well have an aptitude for the Japanese language! Hell, that’s pretty much how I learned it — half from anime, and half from books stolen from my highschool library!
O shit, I actually typed that.

You’re right, the music is piercing at best, however the movement and the visuals are great, albeit on mute.

And in addition, since February is my date of birthing I will have to settle with Miss Feb. (Settle is a word tossed around so casually these days, no?)

Well, if it’s settling with one Synthetik versus another, then really there’s no harm done. 🙂
I wonder what Miss November will rate on the Sexiness Scale, as that’s my date of birthing…
