The Guvnor Said...
At 2:14am EDT November 4th, 2009, the singing robot became self aware.
In the ensuing panic and attempts to shut Vocaloid down, Yamaha retaliated by firing nuclear missiles at their target sites of the American Idol TV production studios.
Simon Cowell returned fire and three billion Yamaha Motif Rack units were destroyed in the nuclear holocaust. This was what has come to be known as "Vocaloid's Got Talent Day".
However, the Resistance was able to prevent this by sending Dave Spiers & his Minimonsta back through time, upsetting the flow of future events.
