Chinese and Japanese Vocaloid fans alike have been outraged at a Chinese singer whose on-stage Hatsune Miku cosplay was “an insult to Miku fans” by way of its sheer sloppiness.
A September concert by Chinese songstress Moraynia (or Liu Xin) has been widely derided on Sina Weibo for donning an “inferior” Hatsune Miku outfit, with fans moaning that she was “insulting cosplay” and “not even trying to look like Miku.”
The video:
The fact that she apparently took only 4 minutes to change into the costume and even omitted the holy twintails “because they got in the way of the dancing” has them particularly annoyed:
“I cannot believe she omitted the twintails!”
“That isn’t Miku’s costume, and that isn’t Miku’s hair. What is this, Chinese Miku?”
“Just playing dress-up is not cosplay!”
“Did they even bother getting Crypton’s permission for this…”
“It looks nothing like her.”
“What would anyone expect from China but a cheap rip-off?”
“Quite funny that she ditched the ‘tails because they got in the way of her dancing…”

Yep that looks bad
A Miku without twintails is not a Miku I know. This is blasphemy.
Exactly. Makes you wonder, maybe they were trying to pass that for an original?
Still shit anyway.
she is a popstar , she is not from our world.
good. i don't want that in mine.
the problem is the german word scheide
I don't see what the big deal is, everyone knows that Chinese knockoffs never resemble the real thing.
Sadly everything is made in china, even every other real thing in the world LOL
Not true, I picked up four random things on my desk and only one was made in china...
A jar of spices, made in EU.
An ink bottle, made in germany.
Pack of batteries, made in EU.
And only the clown nose I got from somewhere is made in China.
I also picked up four random things: a speaker from my laptop, a coffee cup, a remote control for the DVD player and an electric razor. The cup was made in Thailand. The other three in China.
u have a clown nose?
Your pack of batteries might be made in EU, but the component inside your batteries is very likely to be made in china
Well getting wig that much fron is pretty horrible.
WHO THE FUCK CARES.
THIS REPORT EXISTS PRECISELY BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IT.
Yup, it's sad but it's true.
very sad
I sense underlying intent, as if to downplay the image of Hatsune Miku.
OMG CAPLOCKS!
Those people who care have too much time on their hands. An obscure foreign singer on the other side of the world gives a crappy concert. So what?
Dem twintails.
Dem twintails are missing and she's wearing a dead muppet for a wig.
What are you doing on this article if it doesn't interest you? Just return to your american die hard sucky movies, everyone will be pleased.
unfortunately the whole world is fixated on what China is doing now.
You need a permit to wear a Miku costume these days.
she's from china, so no permit is needed
fun cause nobody said anything like it to those race-queen "cosplaying" evangelion years ago http://idol.sankakucomplex.com/post/show/319016
even if this "ayanami" have a more natural hair (not blue/white), people loved her lol
Joke's on you 11's, she did it just to piss you off.
it worked.
HATERS GONNA HATE MOST, Pirating the Whole Vocaloid. EPIC FAIL.
Needs more leeks in that performance.
This is a joke right? The worst insult to the whole world are the "Miku" fans themselves. That singer is hot and she's doing a big favor to those weirdos, they should be praising her instead of insulting her... Well, that's exactly why they're a bunch of weird morons in the first place.
Hot?? To me she feels a little ugly.
I think the anon at 02:05 was pointing out that this girl is putting on a live show and doing her best to please the crowd, whereas Miku is just a program and doesn't give a shit.
I wonder if this is really supposed to be a Miku cosplay. Looks more like she simply copied elements of Miku's for her own stage outfit ...
Really? With failKaito on one side and failLuka on the other? You really think this *isn't* supposed to be a Vocaloid cosplay?
what the fuck?!
OMG!! HOW COULD SHE RUIN SOMETHING SO SIMPLE! MIKU IS COSPLAY 101!!!
The color green is patented by Miku, encompassing everything green and greenish.
To tell the truth I never saw a proper Miku cosplay.
those Chinese ruin Miku appearance.
that is so wrong. Chinese people still hates Jap people because of the War.
they are really blockheads after all.
no offense but its the truth.
Miku doesn't care. She's just a computer program.
As expected from China.... copied crap!
/who fucking cares.
Seriously, there are more important things in the world... /yawn
You people say that but if you actually browse this site, you care, there's hardly any earth-shatering news here.
better watch this, than those...
nice, even without costume :D

If you ask me, she should have cosplayed Gumi. Atleast then the cosplay would have looked more authentic.
rly? i lover her sexy long leg
Doesn't even look like Miku.
Maybe she's cosplaying Rei Ayanami cosplaying Miku
...cosplaying Haruhi cosplaying Yamaxanadu cosplaying Ryuushi Mifune.
But they may also be the Katsuras and Tasuke Aoha.
Hilarious that if you omitting the 'twin-tails' suddenly it's not Miku. Is it that weak of a character that recognition is based on one feature alone?
Kinda like with the chromosomes.
I think it's a combination of things.
If I recall correctly, there are plenty of non twin-tails Miku designs out there that are immediately recognizable.
Just goes to show how bad this "cosplay" is.
