New Year's extravaganza

Miku: Omigosh~! Happy New Year everyone!!! Vocaloids, fans, humans! EVERYTHING!
Gumi: Chill Miku... Why'd we have to come back during holiday season... *frowning and whining*
IA: Hey. We do it for a living. If we don't do it, we're pretty much dead y'know.
Yuko: Well it was agreed and the community really wanted a New Year special so we might as well reach out to them. Right?
Gumi: I guess you've got a point.
Yuko: Well then that's a great start to the interview. I'm Shinaku YukoShinaku Yuko, the Vocaloid Interviewer. Here are Hatsune Miku, Megpoid Gumi and IA -Aria on the Planetes- starring as the first issue's "Vocaloid Interview's" vocaloids.
Miku: Hai. Hai! HAIIIIII~!
Gumi: Yeah hi. Whatever.
IA: W-well hi... also Gumi can't you just cooperate for today? Miku and I will promise you tons of carrots!
Gumi: Alright! Hai minna-San! Glad to be here! (You better keep your word IA, Miku.)
Yuko: W-Well. Let's begin. As we all know, New Year's is coming up soon, 2017 being the year of the Rooster in the Chinese Lunar Calendar.
We will all be expecting new things in the year to come, such as new friends, colleagues, schools, classes and etcetera.
With these three vocaloids here, we will be asking them questions about the upcoming New Year.
Yuko: To start it off, Hatsune-san, Gumi-san, IA-san, what would you be expecting in 2017?
Miku: As usual, I will be expecting loads and LOADS of new songs by all the wonderful and creative producers out there! I will also heighten my expectations by a good margin, in order to give fans the best of the best!
Miku Expo 2016 was amazing but I hope in 2017 there will be bigger events! For example, going to Anime Festival Asia... Or maybe even attending a convention in America~! All the entertaining stuff basically!
Gumi: Well... Unlike Miku, I'm not the most ambitious person around. However, I'll definitely be hoping for a wider variety of songs, a larger fanbase and of course, I will definitely continue refining my voice to something more pleasurable for the fans to hear.
Concert-wise, I really hope Internet Co. will bring me out for a concert in 2017, as of now there hasn't been any official concerts for me and Gakupo. So far, I've only sung in those held in events like Nico Nico Chou. Despite the lack of concerts, I really hope the fans will continue supporting me!
IA: There you go, Gumi. I'll make sure to get those carrots for you. As for me, as long as my fans are happy, I will be happy too! Many fanfictions have been floating around and as someone who loves creativity, I've read several and am pleased to see how creative fans can be!
2016's concert in America was a blast and I hope to do it once more! I feel bad for those who didn't make it but I will definitely be hoping for a concert once more. But as what Gumi said, even without concerts, I'll continue singing my heart out to everyone out there!
Yuko: How sweet! With that, the fans and I are all looking forward to your future songs and concerts!
Now then! Throughout the span of 2016, do you have anything you regret? And do you think the year has flown by awfully quickly?
Miku: Hm~ I guess I regret not making a nice, big container full of leek ice cream to savour on the entire of summer. It was horribly hot no matter how much I like the summer season! It was just unbelievable then!
Gumi: Oh yeah... and there was a short period where the air conditioner was broken. I was sweating buckets then!
Just thinking about it is gonna make me sweat even though we're in the middle of winter.
Miku: Omigosh, that was the worst thing that happened the entire year. TvT
IA: You two, remember what we're doing now... Please don't get sidetracked...
Gumi: Pssh IA and her seriousness. Seriously platinum Rapunzel, sometimes you gotta chill just a little bit.
IA: As tempted as I am to give you a tongue-lashing, I'll do it after this interview Gummy Bear.
Gumi: Don't call me that...! Anyways, I don't have many regrets and the year definitely has flown by quickly.
IA: I think I regret not giving my best for the most of the year since I was pretty laid back. The year has flown by quickly as well since I was doing something I love, which was singing for the fans. It's said that if you're doing something you like, time passes by more quickly!
Yuko: How kind, IA-San! Alright, we've reached the last question for the QnA session, do you have any New Year's resolution?
Miku: Resolution?
IA: Anything you want to change about yourself, Miku.
Miku: Ohhh~! Nope, none at all.
Gumi: You sure about that?
Miku looks at her with sparkling eyes and a wide grin which scares Gumi.
Gumi: Ugh... And here I was, thinking that you would resolve your leek problem...
Miku: Why would I need to?! Leeks are beautiful! It's the embodiment of the Earth! And it's spread virtue to the people out there! It contains a good amount of Vitamin A and dietary fiber! A perfect representation as the king of vegetables!
Everyone but Miku: ...
Miku starts shining in glory and her mouth starts drooling from her weird speech.
Gumi: Anyway, I came up with a resolution to stop Gakupo from showing up at Luka-san's house in his underwear.
Miku: HEYYYY DID YOU NOT HEAR ME IN ALL MY GLORIOUSNESS?!
Yuko: He does that?!
IA: Yeah, I'm Luka's neighbour and every time I see the eggplant man, it's just sad. I feel sorry for her.
Miku: Nuuuuuu TvT I'm getting ignored by these peasants TvT *in a corner crying*
Gumi: Luka's been begging me to get him to stop but it's so hard when I have a tight schedule.
Yuko: That's sad... How about IA-San?
IA: Well, I've been thinking and I thought that maybe I should spend more time with One-Nee-chan.
Gumi: Wow! What a filial younger sister.
One: I KNOW RIGHTTT I LOVE YOU IAAAA
IA: When did you get here One?!
One: I'm your personal stalker m'lady muahahaha!
IA: Again TvT?
One: Yessu muahahaha
IA: Miku... *goes into corner with Miku and starts weeping with her*
Gumi: Err... So this is over?
Yuko: I guess so... Well then everyone, these are the vocaloids' answers! What about you young uns and adults out there? How will you be spending the year 2017?
This is Yuko signing off from the Vocaloid Interview! Bye bye!
Gumi: YAS IM FREE!
Miku: IA-Chan... TvT
IA: Miku... ;v;
Gumi: Own up those carrot loads at my house teal and platinum! I'll be resting up in my house for the rest of the holidays and ain't nobody gonna stop me now!
One & Gumi: MUAHAHAHAHAHA
