Miku Corolla Revisited

Hey, it's just over a week since NY Anime Fest 2012! (I AM NOT calling it Comic Con!)  Thus, I won't be covering the events of the con, because:
One-I'm not the journalist type;
Two-I did not have a press badge;
Three-I hardly attended many major events;
Four-I'm not a damn journalist!
Parenthetically (aka BTY) Peter Tatara won't return my emails, and I will consider that Five.





So, dispirited from the results of my previous post, I did a little google ditty, and through info gleamed from pages not updated in the last year, it seems that I have to download an app, mundanely enough called the "Toyota Shopping Tool".  At the least, that's what should've happened for me when I sent the text.
I swear, officer, those apps aren't mine...

Since no one under their 50's isn't interested in purchasing a Toyota (well, other than a Prius, really) the only interesting thing this app features is this Toyo Tag feature.
Stupid Japan its addiction to invent unnecessary proprietary format.

Touch that, and a reticule emerges:
Fox Two armed ready!    Locking on target....   orZ

...which allows you scan Toyota related stuff.....like scan the information post aside a displayed Toyota vehicle to get information.
There were other features, but I didn't give a damn, as I'd rather be strapped to a chair, eyelids tied back, and forced to watch the entire "Initial D" series (yes, the movie too), than buy a (non-2003-2009-Prius) motor vehicle with the brand Toyota.

Now,under the deception I had the proper tools this time, I did my best not to quiver while holding the phone, and there was a click, and I activated that unnecessary proprietary system.
Success!.......so I thought.
 Did this app just tell me to download itself?

And such is what appeared before me.  Could it be possible, my little paradise?



 I didn't even care to take the effort to "Photoshop" this.

As tempting as this screen looked, the inanimate was triumphant.  I fruitlessly rubbed my fingers across Miku (I fully intended to have that sound wrong), hoping some hidden link was hidden in the image, that would lead me to my goal.

And all it did was jiggle a bit.



This is an actual screenshot on the "Toyota Shopper Tool" page.  From the looks of it, one SHOULD assume that the app would provide a little AR Miku Concert.  
Fake advertising got me agin'!

Also, it says so on the bottom.

Though this was a deavistating blow to my struggle to see something cool, I AM determined to yield some sort of result out of this.  I SHALL peruse even deeper into my googling.  
Do not contemplate failure!


Sooo...check back soon, y'all
