After launching, I did not know what to do for the time being, and kept silent for a while, "If you are in trouble, talk to Help, talk to me" and presented me an assistant from Hatsune Miku. The following movie actually looked at help.

Although I was dealing with only a short conversation, I tried various ways of speaking to you, but I answered, such as "I was glad" "Thank you" "Oh congratulations" "Hello!" "OK?" The pattern is still small. There seems to be many words that can be dealt with, and it often happens that reactions that do not engage are returned. For some reason why are you worried about Hatsune Miku "Are you OK?" Can be confirmed in the following movie.

Actually speaking to Hatsune Miku at "Hey Miku!", I can not do what I can do with only a short response, yet I have not reached the level to get enough communication. However, it is pretty ants that the reaction is properly returned by the voice of Hatsune Miku against the contents spoken to here. It was a skill that I was excited about hoping for a more complicated conversation if it got more and more conversation patterns by future updates.
