Virtual idol Hatsune Miku has given her first live performance, being rapturously received by an audience of 25,000.
The performance was held at major anime music event Animelo Summer Live:
The preview for Black Rock Shooter’s upcoming anime adaptation was also shown…
Songs included classics MikuMiku ni Shite Ageru and Black Rock Shooter:
Added to her chart-topping albums and singles, this certainly makes Miku a formidable force.
2ch is generally scathing of such a performance by a virtual personage, but clearly those in attendance were delighted.
The distinction between real and virtual idols hardly seems tenable when we consider the almost complete fabrication which goes into creating a traditional 3D idol, with painstaking application of advertising, image management, dubbing, makeup, plastic surgery, and Photoshop enhancement all ensuring the end result bears very little resemblance to the “real” person.
Possibly this is set to become merely a question of visual style…

Actually BRS was always described as school girl that did run away from the parents together with her sister... Huke did even draw the school girl version wearing parts of her BRS clothing long time ago.

Its so funny yet so futuristic :D
Is it just me, or is Hatsune Miku really awkward when she's not singing and dancing?
What do you expexct from a person that always runs around with leeks?
How can I turn off the comments on the Youtube video?

4.50 = Mind Blown
All hail our glorious Idol Hatsune Miku!!!!!
HARA! HARA!
I kinda expected more "virtual reality" from Japan. Years ago Gorillaz where "live" on stage at The Dome and they at least projected them in some fog and didn't simply use a screen...
it was both weird and awesome, gorillaz.
I BURN WITH ENVY.
HELLOOOO DETROIT, ARE YOU READY TO RAWK?!
Look somewhat silly, but...oh well...guess I'm not an otaku yet
The beginning of the performance was really cute when she was running towards the stage.
Anywho...it could have been my eyes playing tricks or just the bad recording (thank you blinding white screen), but it looks like Miku was wearing black pantsu. I thought she only wore cute white pantsu and shimapan. haha....
For the information of confused people: Vocaloid2 software could've been running and playing live.
There was most likely just a pre-recorded track running though.

The Japanese entirely from the mind exile, to arrange the concerts of the record of electronic computer voice. O_o

And what difference what to Miku pantsu? This is computer model. %)
strange...
LMAO!

Puts... pena que dessa vez eu não pude ir.
Os ingressos estavam muito caros e se esgotaram muito rápido!
XD
What...the...fuck.
There should have been more screens at the very least.
I can't believe people would actually pay to see this.
There's bands like the Gorillaz out there which are cartoon bands and not real people, but at least Gorillaz used holograms in live concerts, this was just a really easy way to make money by exploiting these people who just had to stare up at a single screen.
If they're gonna do this virtual idol thing, at the very least make it something good and new.
So is there a better version of the Animelo event live recording?
BTW those who don't like schoolgirls: Black Rock Shooter is one lmao, her coat is from her uniform.
awesome, wish I was there :(
Since I'm a major supporter of the digital revolution, i find this EPIC with awesomesauce.
I had no idea she was so giant irl.
I tough they were going to show the girl who share her voice to create Miku in Miku cosplay xD but this is good.
Holy shit, I'd love to learn the Miku Miku ni Shitte Ageru dance.
Jimi Hendrix is Awesome
Okay, that does it!
I'm gonna name my daughter 'Miku'!
That was awesome =')
Wish I coud be there.
2D is better.
No one will need those idols anymore.
I gotta agree, 2D is better when it comes to this sort of idols, makes it easier to exploit.
Terrible singing
And I bet you have green hair too
Yea? Bet your singing even more terrible.
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone may know what the videos won't work for me... The comments scroll across the video and it loads as if it were going to work, but for some reason the video won't play... Any tips anyone?? I really want to see the BRS preview!!
Reload the page a few times, it is just Nico being substandard.
WooooOO!!! miku lIVE!! i love it
2 things:
1)Could be much better, specialy in the talk intro.
2) Awesome LIVE musicians. The voice was a copy paste of the old version. They could fixed or make it better.
Nevertheless, Hatsune Miku still awesome.
>1. Miku is earliest Vocaloid (thus has its limitation), the "talk" part is already one of the most natural I've heard. The newer Vocaloids can sound much more natural though.
>2. That's is what make it original. If it was edited in anyway from the version uploaded by the original author, then it wouldn't be the "Miku" who sang the original song, but just someone else...if you get my drift.
oh baby good stuff glad she getting more and more popular!! MIKU FTW yeah and FAP FAP FAP!!!
Trailer = Fap!!!
this is were it starts then it will end when Miku takes over Macross and the the world. I've seen Macross Plus.
Good thing we don't have the Super Dimensional Fortress around, only a Gundam instead.
OHSHI-
WAHAHAhahaaha XD Am i the only one who finds this funny?
That was my initial impression. Then I found it to be weird :S
Then it was epic.
And then I was so confused I fapped.
It captured me.
One has to wonder, will any other Vocaloid ever reach the status Hatsune Miku has?
NO.
Birth of Sharon Apple from Macross Plus?
Maybe its a good thing we don't have any alien ships parked near by this could end badly
wish I could have been their
What? Someone saw the alien ships I parked here? No? Good...
LOL, I thought the exact same thing.
Oh shit. I'm not the only one who thought that??
Make that one more for the Macross Plus crowd.
black rock shoooter looks like the fusion of k-on! and bakemonogatari
Funny that KyoAni is brought up, considering that the director for the BRS anime is Yutaka Yamamoto...
please don't tell me you compared it to that overhyped show that should be forgotten like Lucky Star.....of course i'm not talking about the epic Bakemonogatari in case you're wondering.
I agree on k-on, but Lucky Star is legend.
Actually, if I'm forced to digress, they are the complete opposite of each other.
While k-on characters act like drugged retards to appear somewhat moe (yui=ecstasy, mio=LSD...) Lucky Star presents genuine lolis in a very common life environment, delivering true cuteness which surpasses "moe" by far.
i'll take that as a compliment. i'll admit, i got into the fevor of don't say lazy at the beginning, then i listened to Sweet Bitter Beauty Song which knocked all other K-ON songs out of the picture. of course, that's all subjectivity like you pointed out.
i was not one bit affected by the moe madness that show creeps out (thankfully) which actually turned me off to watching the show if it wasn't for the anticipation of more music.
i dont know. I truly like the heavy otaku culture references and i believe that each show, Hayate no Gotoku, K-on and Lucky star do what they should do very well. But in reality, we are arguing semantics as what i like does not have to correlate with what you like. Subjectivity.
But when you argue whether or not an anime is 'good' or not, it should be reflecting whether it does or does not do what it has set out to do.
Also, you seem to be one of the rare commenters who see the music as its good trait and the moe bad, while its more commonly seen vice versa.
mmm....i dunno. if you take out the otaku references, that's when i'll acknowledge Lucky Star as a good show. that and the 1st season of Hayate no Gotoku are prime examples of overusage of otaku references that killed good series for me.
the only thing K-ON did good was the music admittedly, but everything else sucked hardcore
I guess your a bit bitter -your- favorite shows are never "overhyped" eh?

kthxbai
dont you EVER! bring Black rock shooter down to K-ON!s level... and dont you EVER FUCKING THINK ABOUT bringing bakemonogatari down to Black rock shooters level
Chill the fuck down
lolx2 because it's true
Yeah, K-on! is pretty enjoyable. And Bakemonogatari is seriously overrated.
Bakemonogatari was one show I was really looking forward to this year. I was severely disappointed. Akiyuki Shinbo is a genius when it comes to comedy, but fails miserably when it comes to action. K-on is much more epic than that shit, and K-on didn't even get good until Azusa came. BRS is much better than both of them.
... Action?
lol.
Wish I could have been there. :(
Otakus with glow sticks, lol.
LMAO! Whats up with the synchronize glowsticks?
That aren't just glowsticks, that are negi glowsticks!
and they're cool!
Sounds like it would have been fun to be there.
can this be considered live? where is 4d miku
the cunt that screencap the Nico video forgot to turn off comments before doing so, clever guy
So clever, he is me.
^Good point.
it sucks... to stand watching screen play... better watch at home.
^then better watch at home with friends (what I wouldn't) and buy stuff in internet (I wouldn't) either.
Sad 2D lovers are sad, that's all.
Well, I can imagine it gives a feeling of unity, and it would probably make for a really great night out. Besides, there's usually lots of things like merchandise out there at concerts. I don't know about you, but I'm a real sucker for merchandise.
I agree. Isn't the band just live the singer may or may not be live...
ok Brent, let's take things very slowly....
question no.1
Seriously, do you even know what Vocaloid and Hatsune Miku is?
If not, you're missing more than half of your life.
wut?
just Wow...
Oh, I can just see the end of the world coming closer... In the meanwhile! Virtual Idols to entertain you until it ends!
its macross plus all over again...sharron apple....that scared the living crap out of me...1994 through macross plus they showed the idea of a virtual idol, 2004 vocaloid first comes out and miku is born....freaky
And don't forget Eve Tokimatsuri from "Megezone23".
Hey, don't forget Kyoko Date DK-96 from your timeline!
That's Japan for you :D
Personally that's one of the better ends of the world, I'd rather die because of virtual idols than world-wide floods :P
2012 visit LA
First Virtual Idols next is 3D Idols with real A.I.
And then next tothat is Android Idols (Android Miku?).The last stage is the arrival of the true Skynet.(plus all those T-800 dressed as Miku instead of Arnold).
sigh, oh well
The distinction between reality and virtuality has all but disappeared. Is this the end of a solid grounding of reality in Japan's otaku population?
Not that they ever had a ground in reality anyway.
I reject your reality and substitute it for my own.
I was about to say... They HAVE been trying to marry 2D characters, after all.
