Miku was sitting in a recording studio lounge, apparently near tears, clutching a newspaper.

A studio recording engineer walked up. "What's wrong, Miss Hatsune?" he asked kindly.

"It's this review of my new song!" Miku cried. "The reviewer just kept saying my voice was digitally processed!"

The engineer blinked. "Uh—"

"I know we pitch-corrected some missed notes," Miku said tearfully, "but only a few! And everybody does that, these days! I'm not that bad a singer... am I!?"

"Miss Hatsune?" the engineer said patiently. "You're a computer program. Your voice is always digitally processed."

"...oh," Miku said. "Um... never mind."
