Japan, You Cray-Cray: Japanese Go Nuts For Hatsune Miku, 3-D Holographic Musician

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

This is a video of a Hatsune Miku concert in Japan. Only thing is, Hatsune Miku isn’t a real person. Or even a robot like you’d expect from Japan. Nope, she’s a 3-D hologram. Pfft, Jem did it 20 years ago.

Hatsune Miku is a rising star in Japan and abroad, singing catchy J-pop that matches her blue-green hair. She’s also a virtual avatar created by Crypton Media using Yamaha’s Vocaloid voice synthesizer. That hasn’t stopped her from amassing a legion of fans who really love her work. I mean really love it. Check out the crowd frantically waving glow-sticks and singing along…

THANKS A LOT, JAMES CAMERON! This is all your fault somehow, I know it. We don’t even have real people entertaining us anymore, just a bunch of fake-ass people with blue titties and a bad case of pony-tail worms. No thanks! I’ll take a talentless Britney Spears/Miley Cyrus/Katy Perry/Ke$ha over a 3-D hologram any day. Just kidding, all those chicks can go die. No skin off my wiener!

Hit the jump for three videos of the depressing future of music. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome
