		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m actually quite stoked about the idea of another virtual idol, however, what I&#039;m interested is about the audience-idol interaction. Unlike Vocaloid, there&#039;s not really much for the fans to do. With Vocaloid, not only is everything pure fanmade, you create the songs, create a persona, and the only thing official is the name of the program. Of course, people only see Miku as an...anime....idol who sings, when reality is, she&#039;s one of the more robotic voices there is who has nothing to do with anime other than the fans who associate it. 
Maybe once I learn more about ak48, I might accept it more, but until there is something interesting, I think I might just sit and watch quietly. :/]]></description>
