Holographic princess Hatsune Miku’s notoriety now extends to the MTV Video Music Awards Japan, with Miku gracing the 2014 opening act with her virtual presence – along with the announcement of extra US dates to follow.
The song used for such a grand event was none other than “Ray”, the same tune created in collaboration with the similarly renowned Bump of Chicken.
The event was visible worldwide both on TV and streamed, though thanks to MTV’s energetic efforts to purge it from video sharing sites after the fact, fans will likely have to dig around to see it.
While Miku’s fame in Japan is beyond dispute, her lack of any physical limbs sadly prevents her dominating the nation’s legacy music charts, so MTV (one of the few music media outlets not completely given over to AKB marketing it would seem) provides a helpful further mainstream outlet for her advance – although admittedly MTV did not give a single award to anything Vocaloid related either.
The announcement of Miku revisiting LA and NY by way of the “Miku Expo”, which in addition to her Gaga appearances seems to indicate her foothold in the land of the liberty-choked is now well established:
WTF?
Well i just looked up tickets prices for NY concert and there 80-90 bucks… way too much! maybe they will have some kinda live stream i can pay to watch it online?
So uh… do you have a PS4?
you guys are forgetting that Tokyo will host the future olympics,imagine it being the shame of the century,all the Johnny groups,the AKBs and their counterpart groups,the idols,the vocaloids,the glow-sticks….
*cringe*hnggggngggghgggg
Are we ignoring how low they had to price the tickets at the last US Miku concert so they could fill up the place?
Guess so..
Not like Americans would pay exorbitant prices for a concert. They got exorbitant bills to pay.
Well, you know… Net Idols tend to be more cheap than those over-priced and over-confident sluts that rule the current music age.
As opposed to when they give out tickets for free to fill out the seats for a no name concert during Anime Expo?
Yeah, if they really wanted to put asses in the chairs they would have been free too.
Mikus world domination take over continues! Congrats Hatsune, Miku for 2 wins this year as well in SuperGT racing.
