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
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. %)
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.
