Virtual idol Hatsune Miku’s latest live performance, “Miku’s Day,” has proven a huge success, with otaku attendees enthusiastically queueing by the the thousand and being driven into a frenzy by the spectacular performance the Vocaloids offered.
One particularly obsessive fan reported a virtual epiphany…
Miku and the Vocaloids appeared on stage by way of a transparent screen:
One 2ch denizen attended the Miku Live event together with 2,499 other creepy otaku (and thousands more in virtual attendance via Nico), and was evidently deeply moved by the experience:
It was nothing like it looked on Nico.
It was like Miku was actually there, in front of you. What’s real and what’s an optical illusion, it was hard to tell.
She was glittering amidst the smoke and lights – it was especially nice how she used the smoke to change costumes.
This is better than any normal live performance! The world of anime has come into the real world! I get goose bumps thinking about it… in the end I wept.
[he goes on at length about how amazing it was]
What makes 2D so great is that you see from our world. But live Miku was different. It was like Miku came into our world. Not just watching images, but the descent of Miku down into the real world.
[he continues at length about how Miku is the best thing ever]
2ch’s reaction to this is instructive:
“Creep.”
“Go to a hospital!”
“Get out of here, this isn’t your damn diary!”
“Absolutely disgusting.”
“He’s mad.”
“I was shocked to read this.”
Etc.
Undeterred, he returns to share his MikuMiku Life:

I guess I'm a creep too.
You see, I'm a computer scientist. I got my first computer when I was ten; it would choke and limp for an hour to draw a simple 3D senoid... But move forward a mere twenty years, and fully animated 3D idols are dancing in front of a live crowd. To think that such progress was made in such a short time fills my heart with joy and hope for the future.
That's why, when I saw the videos, I also felt like crying a little. To think such beauty is already possible, so early in my lifetime... That indeed, the frontier between material and virtual is beginning to get blurred. And so the promise living within the heart of Machine inches ever so slightly closer to its realization...
Amen Bro!!!
The movements look somehow stupid. They probably scanned real dancers - fail.
...talking about uncanny valley

-the voice synthesizer is a fail
What would the otakus do if it would be "K-ON in concert" ? -they would probably crap themselves :(
They do not fall anywhere near uncanny valley, are you sure you watched the video you linked yourself? Vocaloid characters during the live are still stylized and enhanced realism through high polygon, movements, and effects they achieved through lighting and transparent projector screen technology they used.
This is why the world can't take Japan seriously.
Meh, the world sucks anyway.
"This is why people don't understand things and blame others for their lack of comprehension."
There, I fixed it for you.
Anyone uploaded the videos? I have to see this.
hmmm, i probably wudav gone for kagamine twins not miku :D
scary
Kill it before it hacks earth's defense network!
We have a defense network? Just forget about it! Miku-sama~~~~~~~ can have the whole world!
anyone have the stream in HD of this concert on torrent or somthing also 三九’ｓgiving day is the best japanese pun on numbers i have EVER heard. XD
Hah, I just noticed that now thanks to you.
Wow. I'm impressed at how natural and believable their appearance and performance is.
I dare say I'm a believer. If Japan isn't destroyed by feminists and Christians, I look forward to see what they do in the sex industry with such technology.
Don't even think of it! It'll be the end of humanity!!!
MAN THIS IS SO AMAZING.. AND I HATE MY LIFE FOR MISSING SOMETHING THIS EPIC lol
Pathetic!!
Dammit, people! Don't you realize how dangerous this all is?! It's a real-life Sharon Apple! Miku must be stopped!
i want hd pictures/videos of this :/
that was more creepy than cool. now when they had the gorillaz perform live, that was awesome.
You're weird and unnatural that was cool
Need nico link please?
I found this surprisingly cool.
I've got to say, I'm liking the idea of this very much. Now all I need is video and a 3D projector screen...
Only thing I can see about the Vocaloid concert is AWESOME!! I wish I was there!! Impressive job for a 2D anime character!!
All is right with the world...
until that otaku spoiled everything up! But i've to say his Miku collection is awesome. Creepily awesome.
I'm disappointed on that number of normalfags comments in 2ch :<
Also, banzai for this enhanced technology~
...They're floating.
Lucky bastards.
Shouldnt Miku be shorter than Luka?
that is some trippy shit
not bad...
(T_T)
Why Sega? Is Miku a Sega product? Sorry I'm totally lost.
I was lost at first too, until I realized that Sega made the Project Diva games. ;D
Haha, 2ch is just jealous of it, or rather, I'm the one who is jealous that I couldn't access to that live video!! DX
FUCK SEGA, THEY DELETED ALL THE VIDEOS, MIKU WAS MADE FOR FANS BY FANS, SO THEY DONT HAVE ANY FUCKING RIGHT TO DELETE YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF MIKU
HEAR ME NOW, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP NEXT MIKU WILL BE SEGA ONLY AND WE FANS WHO MADE HER SONGS, AND ART WILL BE SUED BY SEGA FUCK YOU SEGA RESTORE THE VIDEOS OR WE WILL FUCK YOU
video removed by sega... damn i haven't seen it
for whoever didnt get to see the youtube videos:

Out of The Topic.
If possible, there will come a time that the Anime industry will no longer need human seiyuu's.
Hope Not.
(But if it did happen then don't say I told you so. :])
what's next.. Vocaloids doing the moonwalk?
The fact that Rin, Len, and Luka were included in this makes the concert even more epic....although I would like to see some Kaito, Meiko, Gumi, and Gakupo just to see how they would look on screen, especially Meiko I wonder how she would look in her outfit?.........(dreaming)
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTU3MzIyNjIw.html this web side still can watch
this remenbed me Macross Plus, except for one thing:
Sharon dont have EPIC FREACKS fans.
another serious stupidity.
I think people are forgetting that Miku's voice is that of a real person, Fujita Saki. I wonder if they did the concert by just recycling her old voice samples, if they recorded new ones just for the concert, or if (this would have been interesting but unlikely), she was singing through a voice processor live.
Did you get a glimpse of what she was singing?
There's no way she could keep up with "The disappearance of Hatsune Miku".
NICE MUSCLE!
I was thinking the same, unles his face is reaaaly ugly, he has good atributes. So I guess is 100% madness and no social circunstances his worshipping.
UNCANNY VALLEY people!!! Why would people ever like this, I'll never know....
Oh Glorious Vocloid waki exposures...
Now THIS is a concert that suits my tastes...
