You'll then take stock of the crowd, assessing whether they are the Miku faithful or Miku-curious. You'll notice that the people around you - many of whom are there alone, it seems - are similarly otherwise occupied, however.
You've heard them play maybe six songs, and you'll feel kind of bad about it. It will be 8:40, and the opener is wrapping up. In your dazed state, you will begin checking your phone. You did not pay $90 to see physical beings, after all. The opener will serve as a satisfying amuse-bouche to Miku's main course, but you will spend most of their time on stage getting annoyed that they have corporeal forms. Miku's opening act (in this case, chiptune band and Brooklyn natives Anamanaguchi) will play a fun set, to be sure, but it's likely a sober experience compared to what's to come, you'll think. 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 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.

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.
