>Dear Mr. ____,

>Thank you for your feedback regarding Toyota's use of Crypton Future Media's Hatsune Miku as a mascot for the 2011 Corolla.

>We appreciate your input with regard to the "western" style illustration of Miku's trademark pose as seen at http://www.toyota.com/corollamiku.. Communications such as yours help us to become aware of our customers' responses to our advertising campaigns and helps us in planning future advertising strategies.

>On a personal note, as a fan of Vocaloid, Megpoid, and UTAU myself, I completely understand your reaction to the Miku redesign. That said, it was certainly not intended as an affront to fans of the character and we thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us regarding this campaign. We hope our future advertisements will better suit the sensibility of the audience we are trying to reach.
