Unlike previous occasions, this concert did not include the signature "Audience Greeting" or "Band Member Introduction" portions that one would normally find in a Crypton Future Media-backed VOCALOID concert.Playlist №: 18 songs initially 4 encore.The concert was recorded and broadcast on Japanese television shortly after its occurrence. Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len and Megurine Luka all performed live with the famous Japanese drumming group Kodo in a unique show which aimed to "spread the charm of Japanese culture". Description: This third-dimensional live concert performance was held during a program running up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in March 2017 over two nights at the NHK Hall in Tokyo, Japan.If it was too perfect, it would be pretty pointless. “The fact that there’s still that artificiality is a plus. “In recent concerts, she’s kind of sobbing within a song and we’re having her express more human feelings, but there’s always a limit,” says Devigne. There are ways in which Crypton want to improve Hatsune Miku – more interactivity, more real-time control, the direction she looks – but there are other ways in which making her any more refined is not really in their interests.
“On the other side of it, there’s that organic ability to improvise, sing and dance with raw emotion that a human performer can bring,” Tantula added, “that a virtual performer just can’t, or, at least, won’t be able to for quite some time.” Riot Games are now effectively their own record label, distributing their music in a way that takes video game scores from concert halls into pop music. “We literally had Akali disappear in a magical smoke shroud in front of the eyes at our Worlds performance. “There’s some really cool stuff a virtual artist can do live that a human performer couldn’t,” said Riot Games' creative lead Viranda Tantula. In 2019, another supergroup – featuring Becky G and Hustlers’ Keke Palmer – did another number at the event.
Their supergroup K/DA performed with augmented reality software back at the League Of Legends World Championship in 2018 to make them look like they were the LoL characters they were performing as.

She is, perhaps, the first time an online collective will be a performer at Coachella. But even Gorillaz was made up of a band of musicians, who played on stage while videos were projected in the back. Coachella is also no stranger to "virtual artists": Gorillaz, one of the most iconic bands to not really exist, played there in 2010. “Miku doesn’t take breaks.”Ĭoachella is no stranger to the art of the virtual performer: after all, it was there in 2012 that they brought back Tupac, the beginning of an age of morally complex decisions by companies and awards shows to bring back dead stars from Michael Jackson to Amy Winehouse, usually featuring a projection of a body double acting with the original performer’s face and vocals grafted on top. “You go from one song to another she does costume changes in a split second,” he explained. “You’ll have participation of the audience that is maybe more organised and a certain set of rules you probably won’t find at a regular concert.” But, he says, there are also huge benefits of a virtual performer, namely the speed of it. Devigne said that many of the people you’ll find at a Miku concert are not, normally, concertgoers in the traditional sense and that the concerts differ in format to how you might be familiar with a gig going.
