    Hayato and Shinobu and Miku-san's...

    Doctor Yellow has finally made an appearance in Shinkalion!
    So divine...too beautiful. It's definitely god's robot
    I very badly want the toy now
    Hayato-kun is also doing special training now so I can't take my eyes off his development.

    Artist provided another version with standard Japanese. As much as I'd love to show the accent through translation, I don't think I can succeed without making it read weird.

    Tbh Hokkaido dialect would just translate to California English. Both California English and Hokkaido dialect are derivatives of their standard counterparts (General American, which generally translates to Canadian and Western American English, for California English; Tokyo/Kantou Japanese for Hokkaido dialect) but with just enough distinct features to stand out on their own due to intermingling with other dialects when the region was being settled (Hokkaido dialect took features from Tohoku, Hokuriku, Niigata and Kansai dialects, and, of course, the Ainu language; California English took features from whatever settlers came there, which was all over America (Midwest, Northeast, South), and, of course, Spanish).

    EDIT: There's technically two Hokkaido dialects (Inland and Coastal). Inland Hokkaido dialect is the default variant. Coastal Hokkaido dialect is considered to be a rural dialect due to the heavy Tohoku dialect influence and is spoken along the coast, particularly in the Oshima Peninsula. This can be approximated with a Central Valley (like Bakersfield) accent due to heavier influence from Southern American English because of people from the South and its peripheries (primarily Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas) migrating to there during the Dust Bowl.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJrIbfWw8Mc Here's a comparison that showcases Miku's English VBs. Personally, I think the accent gives her character and I like it. Yeah, they seek to try and perfect her English voice, but I think her current voice is just unmistakable.

    I can't tell what kind of accent does she have. I'm guessing V4 has the Hokkaido accent English translation (don't know what exactly it's supposed to be)
