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…

Wish I could have been 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.
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.
^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.
I agree. Isn't the band just live the singer may or may not be live...
wut?
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.
just Wow...
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.
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
Hey, don't forget Kyoko Date DK-96 from your timeline!
And don't forget Eve Tokimatsuri from "Megezone23".
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
black rock shoooter looks like the fusion of k-on! and bakemonogatari
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.
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 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.
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 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
lol.
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?
lolx2 because it's true
Chill the fuck down
Yeah, K-on! is pretty enjoyable. And Bakemonogatari is seriously overrated.
Funny that KyoAni is brought up, considering that the director for the BRS anime is Yutaka Yamamoto...
Birth of Sharon Apple from Macross Plus?
Oh shit. I'm not the only one who thought that??
LOL, I thought the exact same thing.
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...
Make that one more for the Macross Plus crowd.
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.
It captured me.
And then I was so confused I fapped.
One has to wonder, will any other Vocaloid ever reach the status Hatsune Miku has?
NO.
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 was about to say... They HAVE been trying to marry 2D characters, after all.
I reject your reality and substitute it for my own.
Wasn't there a movie where there was this singer or something but she wasn't real and only a few people knew?
You mean SimOne?
Except she isn't even real, but a fictional virtual idol, while Miku is the real deal.
...Wait, that came out wrong.
Wow...looks like the Project Diva model of Miku is now the official "incarnation".
25.000...Miku's moe power scares me XD.
Not only the model, but the dance moves were brought over as-is...
Wow this is some freaky shit. Otaku paying money to watch a glorified youtube video up on a stage of a fake idol.
Reminds me of the anime "Key the Metal Idol", where idols were forced into mind-wave machines that controlled their robotic counterparts on stage.
The idol herself became more and more disposable. All they needed was someone to fill the chair and control the fake idol on stage.
....creepy, imo.
Actually costume idols like Barney are exactly like this. They've even been parodied in shows like the Fresh Prince, where a drunk guy gets into the magical pink whale and Will starts fighting it. One of my favorite episodes.
But don't we already have disposable idols with shows like "[insert country] got talent"? In a couple of years, the current idols will fade into oblivion while new idols take their place... for a couple of years.
Isn't "fake idol" an oxymoron?
I would be more inclined to call it redundant.
And I hope you're kidding about thinking that they are paying just to watch a "fake idol" on stage.
And not other artists. Smart guy.
this is so sad
lol you are sad :P
that i wasn't there, dam straight.
If you told me "wanna go see hatsune miku sing and dance in a huge-ass screen" I would buy you some glow-sticks and even drive us there.
Maybe this Black Rock Shooter anime will finally break the cycle of moeblob shows...
We need some serious, dark shows as a change of pace.
Except there's school girls in it. As long as there's school girls in an anime, it'll automatically have some form of moeblob. No exceptions.
School Girls + BRS = anime ruined.
I noticed this. The schoolgirl obsession is killing avante garde anime...
wonder what agnes chan mix schoolgirl would give?
Truth.
...they are somewhat difficult to resist, however.
reason there aren't any good anime atm is exactly the reason the previous person stated, if there is money to be made a company will spend it toward that direction, sad to say schoolgirls are that direction atm, we need more killing anime, even higurashi was dark+schoolgirl, nothing has surpassed the first season imo in recent years.
Actually BRS was always a school girl... Even huke did draw her in her school girl version wearing her BRS costume.

I couldn't agree more. Thankfully, it's not that hard to find good material that doesn't suffer from a clinical High School obsession, even if the characters still tend towards being gratuitously young most of the time.
Going retro makes it easier to discover shows unaffected by the contagion.
It's just that you pretty much have to be willing to give up traditional modern moe in order to find this (though IMO moe shows like Index can do whatever they want, because they're brilliant in enough other ways).
-----
The only benefit I've been able to think of in case there ever really is a ban on schoolgirl hentai or the like, is that it could help convince scenario writers in general to move out of their comfortable HS nest settings and into less myopic environments.
It could end up giving us more innovative stuff like Mushishi, Kaiba, Gurren Lagann, Kyōran Kazoku Nikki, Mnemosyne, etc.
No exceptions you say? What of Serial Experiments Lain? It's about a school girl... more or less.
I agree with all the disparaging comments on here...
... that said, I would've paid money to attend that concert.
Dark moeblobs?
Ok. I fail at posting... this comment is for the above post of RSKuroi... :P
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.
That was awesome =')
Wish I coud be there.
Terrible singing
Yea? Bet your singing even more terrible.
And I bet you have green hair too
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.
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-
Trailer = Fap!!!
oh baby good stuff glad she getting more and more popular!! MIKU FTW yeah and FAP FAP FAP!!!
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.
Now all thats left is 3D holograms, advanced A.I., and a programmed error ratio.
The people in attendance is overwhelming! They should make Miku's performance like the one Gorillaz used in the Grammy's, that would be awesome!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jijm2sS5eb0
lol people payed money to watch a virtual singer they couldnt afford to get the real bands that sing those songs or bands that play other anime music
...You don't even get it, do you?
Here in the U.S we go to concerts with REAL people singing.
BUT....that was still awesome.
Correction: you in the US go to concerts with real people miming to pre-recorded vocals.
example : Britney Spears on her old day ...
what about gorillaz?
Hahaha.. that blondie "singer" in Miss Universe 2009 comes to mind.
And let's not forget Millie Vanilli and his "daughter" in the Beijing 2008 op ceremony..
And Ashley Simpson and her lyp-synch deal on SNL
Where's my IOSYS concert >:3 ??
Funny you should say that, because for most popular "artists" they don't REALLY sing at ALL at their concerts.
STFU Beaner
Gosh, I wish I could've been there.
Looks like it was awesome.
I honestly don't care if it's, as some say, a 'glorified youtube video'. The fact that it's still in a concert hall with thousands of other fans of the exact same thing is where the difference is made. Energy runs high at concerts - the performer being 3D or not.
they should wear 3d mirrors
would have been better if it was like the gorrilaz live performance.
they could have made a new vid for the live. It looks like they just cut that stuff out of the psp game.
Got to say I kind of enjoyed it
On your knees nonbelievers!!!
This is so many kinds of awesome. I loved what I could see of the trailer. I'm so excited! BRS is one of my favorite songs.
the should've used the Musion Hologram system that gorillaz used at the MTV Awards.
dumb
This is more of a live band performance, than a real singer...
The BRS trailer left me in extreme million light years of AWE..... 0w0
btw you tards it wasn't just hatsune miku... animelo is a concert of a crap load of idols.
awesome
AWOOOO!!!! I LIKE IT!!!!
im amzed ^_^
There was a group of musicians on the stage below the screen and they appeared to be trying to play the song. By the sound of it, to me it seemed, they were playing it on top of the normal song so it didn't sound perfect. But they were playing 'something' during Mikus performance
creeps me out when they wave their glow sticks in unison...
I feel the same
I take it you've never been to a concert before.
Okay, that does it!
I'm gonna name my daughter 'Miku'!
All hail our glorious Idol Hatsune Miku!!!!!
HARA! HARA!
4.50 = Mind Blown
I BURN WITH ENVY.
HELLOOOO DETROIT, ARE YOU READY TO RAWK?!
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.
Its so funny yet so futuristic :D
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.

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?
-1
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.
Jimi Hendrix is Awesome
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.
awesome, wish I was there :(
BTW those who don't like schoolgirls: Black Rock Shooter is one lmao, her coat is from her uniform.
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.
Япон�� �ов�ем � �ма �о�ли, ����аива�� кон�е��� запи�и �лек��онного комп���е�ного голо�а. O_o

The Japanese entirely from the mind exile, to arrange the concerts of the record of electronic computer voice. O_o
P.S.
и какаÑ� Ñ�азниÑ�а какие на Miku Ñ�Ñ�Ñ�Ñ�ики? ÐÑ�о компÑ�Ñ�Ñ�еÑ�наÑ� моделÑ�. %)
--------------------------------------------
And what difference what to Miku pantsu? This is computer model. %)
So is there a better version of the Animelo event live recording?
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.
LMAO!

Puts... pena que dessa vez eu não pude ir.
Os ingressos estavam muito caros e se esgotaram muito rápido!
XD
strange...
