Hello everyone! Jin reporting today. As you know, anime has slowly changed the face of the Earth. People all across the globe watch anime from the United States, to Mexico, to England, to Australia, and of course, Japan!
This year, 2012, is the year of so many things, such as the London 2012 Summer Olympics! Now, probably a good number of you watch the olympics for basketball, swimming, and other summer sports. Some of you watch it for the opening ceremonies too. At this point, you're all probably wondering what anime and the olympics have in common at this point.
According to Crunchyroll.com, people have chosen Hatsune Miku to be part of the 2012 summer olympics! Not only is she part of it, people are requesting her to be the main ceremony singer for the opening ceremonies. (See the correlation now?)
Check out the polls that were released on Monday.

Although she is not a formal anime character, her cosplay outfits are all over anime conventions almost all across the country. Watch almost any video considering anime conventions, and you'll see what I mean. It's still early in the year. Perhaps it will happen. She's in the lead. Hopefully, with enough votes, it would slowly help diminish the separation of anime and the terrible views anime receives from the rest of the crowd.
