		<description><![CDATA[<p>It is rare that you stumble across a commercial that gives you a completely new lease on life. That is what happened when Betabeat first watched this two-minute spot for a new Domino's app in Japan, featuring a partnership with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsune_Miku">Hatsune Miku</a>, an anime incarnation of a singing synthesizer app called Vocaloid. Hit “play" and experience a global <em>joie de vivre</em> flood through your grateful body.</p>
<p>This.</p>
<p>This is what our planet is all about.</p>
<p>These are 15 new reasons to embrace the future, all brought to us from an attempt to get Japanese people to eat rubbery disks of dough.</p>
<p>1. Domino's nail art.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_81267" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 525px"><a href="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/screen-shot-2013-03-07-at-9-45-07-am.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-81267" alt="(Screencap: YouTube)" src="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/screen-shot-2013-03-07-at-9-45-07-am.png" width="515" height="345" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(Screencap: YouTube)</p></div></p>
<p>2. The Domino's CEO trying to speak Japanese.</p>
<p>3. Man in bodysuit choreographing lady avatar moves.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_81268" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 372px"><a href="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/screen-shot-2013-03-07-at-9-49-17-am.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-81268" alt="(Screencap: YouTube)" src="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/screen-shot-2013-03-07-at-9-49-17-am.png" width="362" height="335" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(Screencap: YouTube)</p></div></p>
<p>4. Domino's CEO posing back to back and with peace signs next to anime avatar.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_81270" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 608px"><a href="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/screen-shot-2013-03-07-at-9-52-45-am.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-81270" alt="(Screencap: YouTube)" src="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/screen-shot-2013-03-07-at-9-52-45-am.png" width="598" height="343" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(Screencap: YouTube)</p></div></p>
<p>5. "Start the pizza stage live."</p>
<p>6. How much do you love us right now, Japan?</p>
<p>7. The number of takes it took the Domino's CEO to accomplish this level of enthusiasm.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_81269" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 411px"><a href="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/screen-shot-2013-03-07-at-9-49-40-am.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-81269" alt="(Screencap: YouTube)" src="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/screen-shot-2013-03-07-at-9-49-40-am.png" width="401" height="328" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(Screencap: YouTube)</p></div></p>
<p>8. "From the menu to the order, it looks very cute, just like Miku."</p>
<p>9. The Social Pizza Camera</p>
<p>10. Domino's CEO goes home and thinks to self, "Hmm, that Miku <em>is</em> really cute."</p>
<p>11. He begins writing fan fiction about Miku and pizza.</p>
<p>12. Sex scandal emerges following Domino's CEO's affair with Miku pillow.</p>
<p>13. World now consumes 12 billion Miku-o's™ pizzas a day.</p>
<p>14. Pizza becomes sentient.</p>
<p>15. The Domino's CEO finally merges with Miku.</p>
