A guide to Vocaloid concerts 

There are questions many people have been asking so I'm just going to answer them here: Q: *I went to Miku Expo 2020 Europe and the song list you mentioned was wrong.* A: I apologise about this since this was my fault but all the songs I mentioned will probably not end up in the US & Canada tour except for World is Mine. I'm sorry for not checking sources earlier. Q: *Can we buy glow sticks at the concert or do we bring our own? Which are allowed?* A: Any chemical glow sticks no longer than 6 inches (15.2cm) are allowed (No LED). You can buy at the concert but they get sold out very fast but you can also buy the official ones here: mikumerch.com/collections/featured/products/miku-expo-2020-light-stick Q: *Miku Expo 2020 USA & Canada has been delayed till when?* A: Cancelled due to Covid-19. The next concert is an online one due to be held on June 6th 2021 for free. Make sure you don't miss it! Q: *In your video, it says you have to sing the parts. What will happen if we don't?* A: You don't _have_ to, it's just the part where the audience normally sings along to the songs so it's to get you an idea on who's going to sing. Sorry about this, I did some bad phrasing. Q: *Do Niconico Cho parties still exist?* A: *No* but I don't know why. However, Niconico Chokaigi exists but idk much about it. Q: *Where's Vsinger + all the other concerts you haven't covered?* A: I have covered them in a different video called A guide to Vocaloid Concerts 2. For Rin and Len glow stick colours that I didn't mention in the video (thanks to Erin Star & Yeet Girl Tsubasa): If the official glowstick has both yellow and orange, you use orange for rin and yellow for len. This is because rin's official character item is oranges and len's is bananas. Any other questions you can just comment and I'll answer asap.

best PowerPoint presentation ive seen

What are you talking about, you sing *ALL* of Senbonsakura

Why am I watching this if I'm never going to a vocaloid concert lmao

I’m glad people are making these videos for the next gen of vocaloid fans 💙❤️

8:28 Gumi: Everyone, how about one last song? Gakupo: What?/Really?/Are you serious? Gumi: Really! Gumi: I want to do a song that can only be done here! Gakupo proceeds to type: Hello Gumi I like you Do you want to be more than friends And be two breaths walking (Reference to the song that he’s performing at that moment) With me? Gumi proceeds to type: no

Fun fact: NicoNico Cho Party's started including Flower in their concerts. They made her snatch any attraction I might have ever had towards men with her high kick.

I'd just like to add some precision concerning glowstick colors (please note my experience only applies to Miku Expo): Len's color is actually yellow, and Rin's orange, but they mostly sing duos anyway. Some colors can also be use to fit the athmosphere to a song. For example, during Bring It On, we use both yellow and blue, as the Kagamine twins. This seems more of a western thing though. White is also vastly used for ballads, but also to honor producers who have sadly passed away. I'm thinking of Samfree and Wowaka here. Speaking of which, Miku Expo Europe 2020 actually gave a tribute to Wowaka, with a different song for each country. RIP Wowaka, we miss you so much !

me watching this knowing i will probably never get to go to a vocaloid concert: i love *pain*

0:54 “大家好， 我是初音未来！(Da jia hao, wo shi chu yin wei lai!)” It means “Hello everybody, I’m Hatsune Miku!” 初音未来 is her official Chinese name.

Thank you this is very useful since I’m preparing for Miku expo 2024

Reason why I love nicocho: They are made by the fans for the fans. It’s not completely professional, just people who put so much love into vocaloids. For example, if you look at the credits, the motion actors and choreographers are odorites, MMDers are the MMDers you see online, and the tunings of the vocaloids are done by someone on niconico. UTAUs, vocaloids, voiceroids... any voice synthesizer is welcome. It represents the community itself and puts everyone on stage, an element crypton concerts lack. Its just that I love the imperfections. Now please let me go to one....

'fire flower sucks tbh' honestly mood

BRUH NNC shows look so good, I wish I could go to one

I remember when my parents almost disowned me when they found out I went to a concert just to cheer for "holograms" 😂

Would like the others to be most of the entertainment, instead of Miku Miku Miku.. I kinda know my group who stopped being into it because Miku was constantly the face and entertainment when we would want people like Rin, Len, Luka, Kaito or Gakupo in it. It also sucks the new company seemed to hate bringing in Kaito in general.

i had to stop the vid and take a breather bc i was vibing instead of paying attention. just wow

Wait wth. I had never heard of Nico Nico Cho parties! But those transitions are absolutely killing it woah

When the Japanese remix of Echo was playing I felt very good about the fact I could sing along in English because I had memorized it

Nico Nico Cho party Concerts are fucking wild,I wanna experience it

Gakupo: “my dearest gumi, will you be two breaths walking with me?” Gumi: “absolutely not” Gakupo: **punching the air**

5:47 the Instrumental in the background is from Echo! (Gumi English)

I had to relisten the part where miku speaks mandarin, and I can say I'm 80% sure she said "大家好！ 我是初音未來！" It means "Hello everyone! I'm hatsune miku!" (It sounded so weird when I first heard it tho)

i just wanna disclaimer this to anyone whos like "omg!!!! the concerts are next month and i havent gotten tickets yet!!!!" dont worry, miku expo is postponed to spring 2021

Wow the transition is so smooth

Niconico cho party looks so fun :00

Me a poor person, doesnt live in Japan: *cries in never going to a concert*

HOLY FUCK THOSE NICONICO CHO TRANSITIONS SLAP

11:11 LOOK AT MY BOI LEN JUMPING ALL HAPPY AND SHIT

Miku would know what's the fans singing the entire song if she could came to Brazil

You lost me at destroyer of screens 😂😂😂 so true!!

I mean Senbonzakura isn't _guaranteed_ as it was at London 2018 but not 2020 And I've never seen Just Be Friends or the others on the list, but I really want too oof

We didnt get senbonzakura at miku expo London or any if the likely songs qwq

This came in my recommended when i was supposed to go to Miku expo in 3 days.. and now it’s cancelled... Damnn

Nico nico cho party is like vocaloids party in a very short given period of time. I prefer that feeling of a 'show', audience can engage in the carnival too.

Mis Bellos Muñequitos Vocaloid 💖

0:37 I like how you showed this part

I wanna go to a Niconico show but knowing I’m in America I can’t...

8:52 Gumi rejects Gakupo.

Nico nico cho is more like a theater than a concert

* *cries in 2020* *

When you don't have money and live in Uruguay but still see this video for curiosity🙃

Tbh I love nico nico cho’s models / parties💖💖💖

me, who will never go to any of these concerts: yes, very epic

Gakupo was texting something along the lines of "Dear Gumi, I love you. Would you be mine?" And then she flat out rejects him. I only know this from another video I saw, but I could definitely recognize the "daisuki desu"

8:40 Gakupo was typing something among the lines of "Hey Gumi wanna be my gf?" and Gumi said "no lol" and then he hit the floor.

My dude yes. You saved me.

as a small, five foot bean hoping to go to Miku Expo eventually, would it be better for me to find a seat in one of the "top rows" that theatres/whatever they're called tend to have? I don't want to go for a spot and then see nothing but a sweaty man's back the entire time ): I've never really been to a concert so I don't know much about the seating/where the best place for small people are.

Magical Mari actually came to Europe in 2018

love nico nico to death, but the mmd’s they use..... are very interesting....

Why does Nico Nico Cho party seems like a normal Vocaloid concert, but on drugs?

All I know is gakupo sent a text saying somting like I love you then gumi said naaaah

Niconico seems like the coolest one. It feels more like a rave.

I wanna go to the loud ass concert in Japan that sounds way more lit

Nico Nico is the best because IA is in it. But it's a shame that I couldn't go to Miku Expo in Berlin

I must go to one *before I die*

anime brings people together :D

Miku expo happended in NY COUNTRY and i RRALIZED IT NOW? 😭

AAAAAA MIKU HAD A EXPO AT MY COUNTRY DURING 2017 I WISH I WAS INTO VOCALOID BACK THEN CUZ I COULDVE SAW ITTTTTTT

Gumi said “WAIT! one more song!”

tbh, the way miku spoke in Malay made her sound like a stewardess, but I'm not complaining.

Legit Romeo and Cinderella needs to be a atleast 1 concert

honestly wish a few more iconic songs were on miku expo europe 2020 because i didnt know a lot of them

My fav moment is definitely when Gakupo had a mental breakdown over Gumi's text

"Senbonzakura will always be on the Miku Expo playlist" *laughs in Miku Expo 2020*

Honestly no part of the NicoNico concerts will ever be as iconic as the Echo/Hibikase mashup and that's a fact.

Gakupo's text says "My dearest Gumi. I love you. Won't you be with me and be two breaths waking?" And Gumi replies by saying "no way!"

The NicoNico Cho concerts seem to have so much heart and production value in comparison to he Crypton ones,

I always wanted to go to a NicoNico concert :)

honestly that NicoNico Cho transition to Meltdown is one of the biggest vocaloid momment that made everyone shook

side note that is NOT in the video: if the official glowstick has both yellow and orange, you use orange for rin and yellow for len! this is because rin's official character item is oranges and len's is bananas.

Miku in Magical Mirai: *HAND IN HAND* 2020: _coronavirus_

Ah yes, Nico-Nico Parties. The only concert where Miku and Gumi are treated as equals and where other Vocaloids get the chance to perform. :')

8:29 GUMI 「how about we do one last song ?」 8:35 GUMI「i want to do a song that can only be done here」

In this house, we stan Nico Nico Cho Parties. They have better everything, and they are normally filled with a bunch of inside jokes and references. While the models might look weird, I think the visuals are a lot better too, due to the fact that they actually have backgrounds. Edit: Fixed my wording, sorry for the confusion!

Idk why so many people say NNC is better than the crypton ones They are good on their own, it's just that crypton concerts are more like real concerts and NNC is more of a show

I've always wondered this: do they provide the glowsticks at the concert or do you bring your own?

And don't forget, if Intense Voice or Disappearance comes on, you're legally required to sing the entire thing.

I think you failed to mention how Shake It is an essential part of Magical Mirai. Shake It has been there since the beginning and until now, they're still performing it. Shake It is a Magical Mirai's party banger, u cant change my mind.

Nico Nico Cho Party’s are lit as hecc The only con is that they use TDA models lel. But I am fine with it tbh (Also that when UTAU perform, barely anyone cares at all)

Once I’m older (and hopefully not dead) I want to go to a NicoNico concert! They seem so energetic and fun! And I’ll see more than just Miku! But I’ll probably go to an international one first. Just to get the feel. _Not right now though_

Me after realizing that I know all the songs in the video: Dear Waifu 3825 Hatsune... I really don't have a social life, do I?

bruh im 17 n i got into vocaloid when i was 13 n im still dreaming of the day ill get to go to a concert 😭

I like putting my hands up and do what the audience do and the vocaloid too, and also sing along with them When I have no money to go to Japan or go to any of the concerts

Here’s the translations if anyone’s wondering lol: 8:28 “Hey, why don’t we perform another song?” 8:34 “I really want to perform a song we can only perform here!” 8:40 Gakupo: (first message) “Gumi-Sama” (Second message) “I love you” (Third message) “We can just stay as friends but” (Fourth message) “Shall we perform Two Breaths Walking” (Fifth message) “Together?” Gumi: “No thanks”

As much as I like the Niconico Cho Parties, I feel like the quality has been kind of bad lately (Idk which word to describe im sorry) I don't talk about the animation but the music. The old ones feel more like a medley, while the recent years...well, the songs are kind of cut abruptly. But that is just my personal thought of course, I still enjoy them nevertheless.

"Parts you have to sing along in the concert are in italics and bold" Me: Years of academy trainning wasted! (You think you can contain my power?! I'll sing everything!)

To anyone looking for why NNCPs no longer exist, it’s because of Nico Nico themselves, not any of the vocaloid companies. The NNCP concert series was produced by fans, for fans. This means that this project relied on Nico Nico’s support, hosting, and funding in order to actually proceed with putting this specific event on. For 2019’s NNC, Nico Nico stated that they wanted to try something else regarding Vocaloid and that there would not be a grand concert like from previous years. (Rip NNCP concerts 2012-2018) In 2020, a Vocaloid concert was planned to be held but with less vocaloids and fewer songs featured than previous years. This concert is known as VocaFes. The Vocaloids that were to be used were Miku, Rin, Len, Una, Gumi, Yukari, and VFlower. (No more Gakupo, IA, or UTAUs :

In the Miku Expo Shanghai, what Miku's saying is ''Hi everyone, I'm Hatsune Miku!''

i went to a miku expo in new york a couple years back when i was 12, and the whole experience was absolutely crazy to my little middle school weeb brain

This was really helpful! I'm going to see Miku Expo in Boston this year and I was really worried about what to do. This'll be my first ever Vocaloid concert so I'm excited!!! Is there any advice that anyone can give me from their first Vocaloid concert or anything like that?

Why everyone keeps on hating the Crypton concerts? I don't like the NicoNico ones but i don't go and say it in every video they are mentioned lmao. For me, what ruins the Cho Parties are the TDA Models, and the somewhat low quality of the projectors. Like, put videos from both concerts side by side and you see a clear difference. Also, like someone said in the comments, they are kind of different in some way. Crypton does what an actual concert would probably be like, meanwhile, NicoNico throws more of a show, and includes varios scenes and plays with the screens. Oh, I forgot about the horrible physics in the Cho parties, but i don't know who to blame. The staff, or the MMD program. probably the program.

NicoNico concerts are superior. That's how you appreciate all Vocaloids, not just Miku!

It's funny (for me) how you say in Magicl Mirai loud fans. In Magical Mirai 2019 I had to control myself not to make too much noise and disturb, in Miku Expo in Spain I was able to scream a lot more, and I still wasn't the loudest!!! We were all so exited I think hahahha

About time! I recently got into vocaloid music and I was so confused when I was watching concert videos but I loved to see them. Thank you for the info!! I really needed it

When she started talking Dutch at Miku expo 2020.amsterdam.i might have cried

watching this now that they cancelled niconico cho forever makes me really dang sad... i always looked forward to late november cause i knew the concert footage would be uploaded, last year when i looked it up i instead got a notice that they were no longer happening and it broke my heart in a million pieces/// watching odds&ends from 2016 made me cry, and watching my otp sing hyper gore musasabi stick disappear-y genius was so cool too aaaaaaaaaaa

just gotta say that Len protecting Rin at 9:37 is so damn cute and it warms my heart i can die happy now--

*me dying because miku expo ain’t in my country*

Me: *skipping to* 6:25 *Cause im only here for nico nico transitions* Its big brain time
