I think holographic concerts are eerily cool. I would go to one if I can.

[QUOTE=areyoublack;32615907]So that means [b]you[/b] actually went to one?[/QUOTE]
I don't see how knowing that there wasn't one at Comic Con implies that I went to one. [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-raise.gif[/img]
...but yeah, actually, I went to the one in LA. :v:
Say what you want, but I think it was pretty cool (especially for $15; that's how much the ticket was). You have to realize that it's not just the prerecorded voice and the hologram; the rest of the music is live and performed by a live band. The LA concert also had a small orchestral accompaniment. I think it was better all-around than the first couple Japanese concerts (which I didn't go to, I only saw videos).
This is the one I went to:
[video=youtube;WzYssX-CcSY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzYssX-CcSY[/video]
Sans terrible audio. That recording job is pitiful. It sounded great in-person.
To me, the real 'cool factor' in all this isn't the fact that there's a 'fake diva' on-stage, it's the fact that all of this is the product of the Japanese internet community getting together and doing something that just completely exploded in scale. A company put character art on the box of a synthetic voice singing program. The internet took that program and that single piece of art and ran with it; indie artists from all over collaborated and made tons of great songs and great art. Now there are labels that publish those songs, commercial video games featuring those songs and the character, and concerts where live bands perform the music for thousands across the world. That's really awesome to me.
Basically, just imagine if 4chan actually did something useful with their time. :v:
[QUOTE=xxncxx;32600014]Well, maybe I'm exaggerating, personally, I'd never go to a concert for an anime character who doesn't really exist. Also, the bonus video is even more hilarious:

You people gotta realize there was a tiny child saying that. Arguing against it is kinda stupid, we all know music isn't "real" by her definition anymore

Why the fuck would people go to concert to see someone who isn't even there and isn't even real
I mean, if Stephen Hawking sang at a concert, at least he would actually be there. And he's pretty damn real.
I reckon even after the Earth is invaded by aliens the japs will still be the weirdest intelligent lifeforms on this planet

Hahaha. No. If you don't like it, why'd you come in the thread and start dumb spamming and flaming? Just because I like anime and Vocaloid music doesn't make me a weaboo. Someone who starts spamming KAWAII DESU and UGUU everywhere is more of someone your thinking of.
[editline]4th October 2011[/editline]
Sure looked serious to me.
[editline]4th October 2011[/editline]
I'm gonna stop arguing before this turns to an all out flamewar, which I saw coming from a mile away.
Oh shut up.
On topic: I just wondered why people would go to a concert to see something like that when it would be nearly exactly the same just listening to or watching it on their computers, albeit minus the band. But so what, I have bands frequently playing at local pubs and clubs who are much better anyway, and it's probably the same in most places.
I quite like Vocaloid, but when it comes to people dressing up going all "KAWAII UGUU~~ MOSHI MOSHI" in real life. [B][I]Thats enough.[/I][/B]
It belongs on the net, not real life.

My finger crushed my mouse agreeing so hard.
Also, RobL, your opinion != fact, stop acting like it s.
Plus I didn't say there's anything bad with being weird.
And 'jap' is just a shorter way of saying a japanese person, just like 'scot' is a shorter way of saying a scottish person

This is true, but in context it was more derogatory than an abbreviation.
