Japan's Latest Rockstar Is a 3D Hologram

kkleiner writes "Hatsune Miku is a Japanese pop diva who's just started to play massive stadium concerts to sold out crowds. Her hair is blue, she dresses like Sailor Moon, and she'll only appear in concerts via a 3D 'hologram.' Oh, and did I forget to mention that she's completely fictional? Created by Crypton Future Media, Hatsune Miku and her virtual colleagues have gone on limited tours in Japan."

    Yeah, until we get news footage of her illicit tryst with an underage defrag program.

    Attempts to use the Hatsune Miku vocaloid to do anything in English are usually hilariously awful.

    Captain: What Happen?

    Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.

    Operator: Main screen turn on.

    ....and so on

    That implies you may be able to boot Bieber. Good news for music lovers with big clumpy boots.

    I find the concept of a holographic band to be outrageous. Truly, truly, truly, outrageous.

    Gorillaz have been around since 1998. They are mostly 2D though.

    There's a guy(?) out named "Justin Beiber" and he's one dimensional.

    Actually, I don't know if he's out yet or not.

    Eve was the second thing I thought of. The first thing I thought was, "That outfit doesn't look at all like Sailor Moon!"

    forgot her panties? i don't think that stuff is ever a matter of forgetting.

    Not exactly true.

    I went to work one day in a suit... but missing the pants. Only thing I had on downstairs was some boxer shorts.

    Was very busy that morning, under a lot of stress, and chronically sleep deprived.

    My first indication that something was wrong was when my co-worker gave me a funny look in the hallway and asked me what I was wearing. It was one of the strangest moments in my life looking down and finding out, for the first time, that I was not wearing pants.

    It also went a long way to explaining the looks from the people at IHOP that morning too.
