In the first one, two Vocaloid characters are talking to each other in Japanese, one seemingly trying to interrupt the other as she tries to speak to her. The other half of the video consists of a three-steps instructional bit featuring Miku Hastune giving the middle finger in three different ways, from the dullest to the most expressive.
