posting a concert link in response to that is just going to raise more questions

i tried listening to miku

i really did

but the appeal of vocaloid makes no sense to me

Makes people decide to do music. So then you can get good melodies when they publish it. Drums. o7

it's bizarre to me that someone would write a song and decide at some point in the process that the end product would be improved by the inclusion of a weird synthesized voice

which i guess is why vocaloid is extremely niche outside of japan, but i'm still confused as to how it got so popular there

So my sister texts me:

"Do you know what Vocaloid is?"
"Uh, I guess I know Hatsune Miku, I see it on the internet sometimes"
"Would you go to one of her concerts?"
"wat"
"One of my coworkers is obsessed with her, it's weird"

I have found one in the wild.


I'm discussing with friends going to a Miku concert here in San Diego next month. She's opening for Lady Gaga.

Tickets are like 70$ though, that might be out of my giving a shit range.

Miku wouldn't be nearly as cool if she wasn't a hologram though. Hologram = awesome.

Wait I thought Crayon Pop was opening for Lady Gaga

It's a different opener in each city she's doing for whatever tour this is.

It just happens to be Miku in San Diego.

I'd be more creeped out about Miku and her ilk if it wasn't just so darn honest. I mean sure it's all fake but so is real pop idol's. At least with these virtual idols they go full out and have fun with it. As far as the music itself it's okay enough.

At this point half of the top 40 in the us is voice altered in some way anyway. A completely fake singer just seems like the next logical step.

There's basically two things that I think is really awesome about Miku. The music is okay, I wouldn't call it bad but it's not amazing either.

But what's cool is, first off, it really is super honest. There's no difference between what the fans think the pop idol is and the actual person playing the role of the idol, because there is no actual person. So you're never going to end up with a crazed mentally broken chick on drugs 10 years later because she couldn't live up to the expectations of her idolizing fans.

Second, hologram. Awesome. Apparently the rig to actually create the Miku hologram cost like 5 million dollars and they actually fly it from Japan to do concerts in other countries because that's cheaper than building a new rig.

Hologram performances sound cool, I really wanted to see the hologram tupac with snoop at coachella but being British has its drawbacks when it comes being a hip hop fan.

was miku originally conceived with concert performance in mind, or is that something that came after the success of the vocaloid software?

I think the concerts came out of the software being so successful, but I'm not a very diehard Miku fan I don't know this shit.

I just want to see the hologram some day.

They were just programs to dick around originally, yeah. They didn't even sing that well (see: people trying to make them sing in French and English, although Luka apparently does English fine?) but the popularity exploded.
As I said, seeing the amount of stuff created, I assume the ability to make someone sing stuff you wrote was cool to people. You got a bunch of programs to do music for you, but if you can't sing well enough over it, well tough luck.

I'm now on a slam jam spree. This one clicks so well wtf @_@

My office is too hot. I'm burning up. We even have personal thermostats and I've got mine down to 11 but it's still too hot.

You have personal thermostats?!

It is also very warm in my department cubicle block, but I don't think it's like this is most other parts of the office QQ
