I'm not actually into Hatsune Miku (despite what tomorrow's comic will infer) but that video is actually tempting me to learn the Heart Sutra in Japanese
Inspired by this thread, I decided to use chopsticks to eat jellybeans while I was doing the dishes, so I didn't have to dry my hands all the time. They were too slippery, so I ended up hoovering them up off the counter with my face.
If I had to take a guess you'd need to record , very cleanly, a pronunciation of each phoneme
I think there's like 50-something in English
For Japanese it might be closer to 80? I don't remember where I heard that, though
This... sounds backwards to me.
The internet tells me there are roughly 24 consonant phonemes in English, with a variable number of vowel phonemes depending on regional dialect: "General American" apparently has 14-16, so a top end of 40 phonemes for standard, regular ol' "American" English.
Japanese has only 5 vowels that remain pretty consistent across regional dialects, and only 18 consonants.
If you're talking about combinations of these phonemes, that's different, but I still think English has way more possible combinations than Japanese, considering the syllabary nature of Japanese.

Well, like I said
I don't remember where I heard that. And I don't really know where to go to look it up
I thought the machine was doing that all by itself.
Probably not that far off, but it's still really cool. Ingenious, even.
Yeah it seems at a glance like some kind of automated brick-layer, when really it's just an advanced machine that lets bricklayers do their job without having to be on their knees all day.

So I learned something today!
The wikipedia entries for just about every language are pretty exhaustive, actually.
It's hard to avoid romantic situations in dreams sometimes. You try and get away, but your car just won't pick up speed, which is now a bicycle and it won't go up the steep hill. You crawl on your hands and knees trying to get up the ever steepening slope, but then you realized you have to return the hamburgers to the court house by 5PM, but first you have to stop and buy a shirt because you're not wearing one.
This has happened to me before. I don't remember my dreams a lot, but I've had at least three different dreams with the -same- girl who is not a girl I have ever met, nor do I know if she actually exists.
Yet I am apparently dream-stalking her? Goddamnit, subconscious, stop being creepy.
Everything in my dreams that happens always feels so significant, and it persists when I wake up for a bit.
The other day I had a dream where I randomly ran into one of the managers at my job while my wife and I were in Caracas (for some reason. Something about filming a documentary or some shit like that). Only I've never met her, so in my dream she was basically our friend's mom, but with a different name. So when I woke up I was all feeling really positive about this person I've never interacted with except by receiving the occasional group email.

Part of me wants to get into hiking just so I have an excuse to eat dried fruits and nuts and trailmix and stuff.
I am not sure what is happening to my tastebuds.
I wasn't knocking it or anything, it sounds pretty great.

You'd need Ronnie to record a bunch of audio samples.

Unless you count those two guys. They may count as a crazy brick sorting contraption.
