In my experience - my strange, unforgettable experience - this is what you can look forward to when seeing Hatsune Miku live: While I think that might be best, I also think that those considering stopping by on a future tour date could benefit from some knowledge of how a Hatsune Miku concert plays out before they drop the dough to see her. virtual? I had zero expectations and negative levels of understanding of how the Miku experience translated into the physical realm. I was going to see Miku, live.īut how does that even work, since she's, y'know. Despite being the most openly miserly person I know, I ponied up the cash. So when I heard that her biggest ever North American headlining tour was hitting New York City, I marked my calendar. I'd always been intrigued by Miku, by her facility with a wide swath of genres and her ability to win over anyone, including the president of Domino's Pizza Japan. How does Miku translate into the physical realm? That cute face has a fanbase a million people deep, grown bigger thanks to her expansion into games, anime and copious amounts of merch. She is also an act that amasses huge, human audiences at sizeable ballrooms, where tickets go for $90 a pop.
She's just a cute face, made up of various outfit changes and a couple different tones of voice. She serves as an avatar for savvy music makers' creations, offering no agency of her own. She's a Vocaloid, a synthesized singing application. She has guest starred in anime, been featured in her own series of games and was once rocketed into outer space.
Her best known music video features her dancing and singing along to Finnish polka. She is a blue-haired Japanese teenager with the voice of the world's cutest, saddest Game Boy. Part of the charm of pop star Hatsune Miku is that her worldwide popularity is, in some ways, inexplicable.
