Japan's Latest Rockstar Is a 3D Hologram

Posted by samzenpus on from the as-real-as-it-gets dept.

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."

    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

    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.
