How can you be proud of something with no thought or soul whose success is determined by different people typing a script into a machine and then other people turn it into audio Edit: the people in these comments are coping so fucking hard at effort that doesn’t exist. Fawning over a thoughtless, soulless machine with no intent or emotion. Whoever should be praised for this is completely anonymous behind the scenes. Cry about it, your 3d image is a fake.
I find the Hatsune Miku phenomenon to be so fascinating. I'm not really a fan, but from the outside looking in I often wonder how we got to the point of a LITERAL anime girl brought to life via hologram performing live music for tens of thousands of adoring fans and it's... just normal. Like, there's really nothing weird or strange about it. It's just another way to present the art form of music in this modern world. But if you were to try to explain the whole thing to a time traveler from, say, 1975, they would probably think the whole thing is insane.
Honestly my main explanation is that some of the songs used in later iterations are made by fans of her, like rolling girl a still popular song. (Rest in peace creator of that song) but my best explanation is that shes a virtual singer where everyone whos a fan of her come together just to celebrate loving her songs
it really just comes down to good marketing, promotion, and character design. hatsune miku was the very first vocaloid that was released as more of a character, and she had a much higher quality than that of the voicaloids that were released before her; the fact that she was released as a character and not just a voicebank is the very first point of appeal. and then at some point, because of her growth in popularity, she went from a simple voicebank/vocal synthesizer to having further extensive development. this is both in reference to her vast voicebank selection (i believe she has 10 in total, and that doesn't even cover all the different versions that have been released over the years...) and her character development. adding to that, there are over 100k songs using miku's voice bank BECAUSE of her popularity, the appeal of anime characters in the last decade, and the growth of "fan" culture over time. a large portion of the most beloved and popular songs using vocaloid use miku's voicebank. all in all, visually, hatsune miku hits every mark that a good, marketable character design should. if miku didn't have a solid character design to her, it's likely that she wouldn't be as popular as she is. she's the current face of vocal synthesizers. additionally, if you were to try to explain much of current day technology and societal behavior to a time traveler from 1975, i think they'd think it was insane regardless of what it would be because of how much has changed over the near 50 years it's been since then... lol
At her very core Miku is a representation of the art and music and creativity of so many people. That’s just something so genuine and awesome that’s so captivating. This gives birth to fans who puts genuine effort in showing love and appreciation for her that’s also long-lasting. Plus the idea behind her is that she can be pretty much whoever you want her to be, this gives fans, creators (and pretty much anyone) the creative freedom to view and depict her as however they wish. This encourages people to make more art through and with her, which just further introduces her to a lot of people. This also means that (at least potentially) the all types and kinds genres of art and music that are made with her is diverse enough to cater to everyone.
They would call you insane even in the 2011 era. People thought you were weird if you remotely associated with anime back then. Honestly its probably worse now today since alot of incel types stained anime in the eyes of the average person. So now people associate anyone into anime character with those kinds of people. It's like the same reputation as saying you are a furry. People just instantly think you're a freak or an incel. Actually furries probably have a better reputation since they dont have to deal with the incel part of it. Point is anime was always for the rejects of society to find solace in but its gotten worse and worse because now its about enabling bad habits in humanity to never touch grass. But that anime in general. Miku is good because you can go to live concerts and artists can express themselves freely without copyright bs. But in the eyes of a person unfamilair with miku they will just see it as wierd anime shit.
@@cuissonbake6917 What reality are you living in? Anime is way more mainstream and acceptable today than it ever was. One of the highest grossing movies in america in 2020 was Demon Slayer Mugen Train. That wouldnt have happened in the past. Also more and more celebs are sharing their love of anime. I cant go to a single store without seeing something related to anime anymore. Also furries are still seen and freaky dog fuckers even today so idk what circle you're in but you're whole comment on anime is objectively false
If u mean the 2022’s model(I think is called 19 model?) in the video, actually that model just appeared in 2 songs in 2022. Either than that all is the old style(diva F) model
I just want the non-stiff and silky hair back tbh ToT anyone? I think I remember in one vid of Luka's Just be friends song the comments were talking about her hair.
FOR REAL!! i have a google doc full of my reviews of the concerts and i always put the model name and type next to the songs in the song list. i just called the awkward models they used between like 2019-2022 the "uncanny models" BECAUSE THEYRE SO UNCANNY AND WEIRD LOOKING
The Project Diva models will always be my favourite. She looks like an anime girl brought to life in them. They're the perfect blend of 3D yet still look a little flat, kind of like a real human. It makes her blend flawlessly with the musicians. In some songs like Sweet Devil she looks like she's really stands right next to the crew. The new models are a bit too 3D looking to me, like they're plastic figurines or something. Plus I live the facial expressions of the PDA models and how tall she looks, because it allows her to make more complex dance moves.
Just remember that there is no canon or official lore for the vocaloid mascots since that would kinda ruin the whole purpose of vocaloid. But yea, default miku is now 16 irl.
@@erraticcat3887 I don't know why people keep saying this; Her character quite literally has an official age of 16, it's on the Piapro site. But even so it's fine for people to make their own depictions of her where she isn't, it would just be a headcanon.

i might have grown out of my vocaloid phase years ago but Vocaloid will always have a special place in my heart. they got me through some very bad time in my life
Ughh this brings tears to my eyes lowkey, I can't believe I've been here so long and Vocaloid is still improving, it just feels beautiful. I still hope to visit a 3D Live concert someday 🙏
Honestly can't wait until holographic technology improves to the point they don't need screens anymore. But it probably will be a long time. Can you imagine though if they added ai to Miku during concerts and she could respond in real time too? That would be crazy.
@@kakyoindonut3213You beat me to that very suggestion. With how fast robotics is progressing, & how good simulated flesh prosthetics are, you're likely onto something. And honestly that's a lot more interesting than perfect holograms.
that is not really possible. the in the air holos you see in movies like starwars are impossible not because of tech but because you need something for the light to stop on. a very realistic robot jumping around is possible, but that would not glow like the holo does. also I think they will star doing a lot of VR concerts once the technology for that improves. since it provides de feeling of being there with the rest of the people but without a limit to how many people can join in and the need to travel will bring a lot of fans from abroad. also you get the glowsticks too with the VR remote controls Also augmented reality concert where people actually gone somewhere but the screen is in you head.
@@lucaskp16 the VR concert you proposr is cool and all, but it doesn't have the same feeling as going to a real concert, it's equivalent to watching a concert livestream on youtube or somewhere, so the best possibility imo is either robots, or hologram
The easiest way to make this experience more "live" is to simply have Miku be a live motion capture of a dancer backstage. With a VR headset, the performer could even see the crowd from Miku's perspective and react accordingly. I've always wanted them to do something like this because it'd easily improve the live experience by a lot. A human performer being in control of Miku would make her feel A LOT more alive.
The people who designed Miku just don’t need to change something that was born perfect, they just need to improve it and apply the new technologies without changing her design.
Am I crazy, or is that 2023 crowd legit massive? Like, I suck at estimating, but that’s gotta be the most people I’ve seen at a concert anywhere in a hot minute tbh, the whole entire FLOOOR is covered 😳😳
Well it probably due to the success brought by Project Sekai. Since they adapt the game into mobile platform and rhythm game. Also Miku has a lot of collab in different games & anime during 2022-2023 (ex EnStars & Love Live).
They have been using makuhari meese as their go to venue ever since 2016 and the crowds for one show are about 8-9000 people. 2013 was the "biggest" mirai in terms of the venue used (yokohama arena, 15, 000 capacity) but the concerts nowadays have more attendees not only because they schedule 2-3 different cities but also because they have multiple concerts per day.
what's more impressive to me is the fan base, they there with their lil light sticks, waving in sync. Honestly I wanna be in one of those idols concerts in Japan, that would be an awesome memory imo.
39's Giving Day 2012 is the best Miku concert to this day. Please watch it if you never have!! The original SEGA modules really are the best, and the little details of this show were amazing. Perfect classic setlist, and it included a band with brass and string sections. 2012 was actually a great year for Miku!!
I think we're witnessing a new generation of Vocaloid revival. I think early 2010s was the best times though and we will never be able to experience that ever again moving forward
@@alizaka1467 It'll get better once AI tech get's so advance but the same time our world will look like dystopian and the likes of her is the only one giving humanity hope kinda scenario , because she's a representation of humanity she's not fully Ai to begin with
@@pauloazuela8488 The geopolitical situation is extremely unstable, with a puppet in the White House, Russia looking to expand it's borders, and the middle east about to erupt once again, shit ain't looking too hot. Then the local political situation in the US is reaching civil war levels of animosity between the political parties with trust in government institutions non-existent due to rampant and blatantly obvious corruption. With Democrats trying to throw their political opponents in prison on multiple fronts, not just Trump, all in the name of protecting "democracy" which is just a buzz word that has lost it's meaning. Hell the US isn't even a democracy, It's a Constitutional Republic with elected representatives.
@@pauloazuela8488 The American media depicts a dystopian future as a potential outcome, which is a reflection of deeply ingrained individualism and the large personal spaces people maintain. True humanity, however, is demonstrated by those who stand firm against oppression and cruelty. Humanity is evident in individuals who, even in difficult times, remain pure at heart and assist one another despite having lost everything, be it family or possessions. The Palestinians are a live example of this in the world today. Observing the Palestinians reveals the standards for discerning truth from falsehood. They care for one another like family and continue to be tender-hearted, loving, and kind. Should Americans experience similar trials, it could lead to a dystopian reality with issues like gun violence, pointless deaths over food and water, drug abuse, local gangs perpetuating violence, etc. So in my personal view, an AI singing songs would only offer hollow/empty promises of hope. A hologram performing songs wouldn't solve the real issues faced by people in a dystopian world, nor would it truly give them hope.
I'm glad that they finally improved it considerably. The concert tickets are too expensive and the model had already started looking outdated. It was like paying for a PS5 game with the graphics of a Nintendo 64.
@@DarkNova2010 I’ve always liked the older models as well, but these new ones are amazing. The main thing I didn’t like is when they changed the style completely from the Project Diva styled models, even though they were higher quality, they looked off, so the combination is great.
The 2010 model is the best to this day. They look ugly in game but from afar and with the blur from the projection they read as Miku come to life, the physics are perfect and the proportions with the tall body and big hands make it very expressive for dancing. Every other model has looked "small" in comparison and doesn't have her stage presence. It is also the most iconic model of her that was used to talk about her in any media and in the Chrome commercial. I was lucky to see 2010 model used for The Intense Singing in 2018, it just looks great live.
Agreed, as someone who just saw her first Magical Mirai in Tokyo, I realized what I really wanted to see was the 2010 Miku model. The 2023 models looked pretty, but very plasticy. The 2010 Model just looks like she's really there, and I've always wanted to see one in concert since stumbling upon my first Vocaloid concert video in 2011...
@@Erispedia Probably nostalgia and it's her most iconic look, imo the newest one looks most 'really there' but I do think they should try to bring some style aspects from the classic look into it.
I remember going to her very first concert in California after graduation. It was amazing to witness Miku on stage and I remember crying. Vocaloid music helped me a lot in a depressing time of my life. She might not be real but she's a voice for those who can't express themselves in full.
@wibiz9657 She recently went on tour in America (Miku Expo 2024). Crunchyroll was involved. So, it turned out bad. She was on a tiny little TV on the stage, when the site advertised she'd be a hologram like usual. There was also poor management and only like 90 glowsticks or so at at least one event. It was a wreck
@@LaughingStockArt While we were expecting her to be in the hologram format, they didn't really advertise nor announced they would be using the hologram, but at the same time they still should've at least announce the news about the LED.
It is literally more popular than it has ever been. Being a fan since 2009, the explosion into almost mainstream awareness in the last three years has been kinda nuts.
Nah I've been in the Vocaloid scene since 2011 and it's never been more popularrthan right now. Being a vocaloid fan and a weeb were not cool in the 2010s
I stopped watching hatsune miku after sophomore year because my friends and peers thought it was weird… I became ashamed of it. Now that I’m back I can’t believe while I was growing Miku was growing too… I’m so happy. My inner child has never been so happy. I’m literally crying. 😭😭😭
Having been to more concerts than I can count, its interesting to see the change over time both in this and in person. Not a big fan of the newest normal outfit models for the 6, but Miku's Hero model was great and I hope they do more like it
2012 model was perfect for me. She looks so fun and energetic when peforming and the crowd of that era is the best 2013-2018 is good,realistic but don’t have the energy of 2012 2019-2023 is just so wierd. It’s like 2012 but worse.
I love MIKU so much 😭❤️❤️ it’s been my dream to visit a miku concert, I hope next year I can see one! I do love her og model since it’s so iconic and for stage-wise it look more appealing Technology have improved so much since 2009 it’s amazing
I can see the difference(improvement) in each year, from body movement, to rendering, to hair movement and rendering, to emotion expression. Miku is becoming a lively being.
I still remember that when Square-Enix released The Spirits Within, their intent was to somehow create ‘the first ever artificial idol in the world’, Aki. Little did Square-Enix know that their endeavour had been thwarted years ago with Vocaloid's Miku. This virtual girl is so legendary everyone can identify her long, blue twintails & tie in seconds. Lightning's got nothing on her, at this stage.
I always like showing people a clip from 2021 Magical Mirai Teo. It's so simple but extremely striking and intense and a great example of how they use a 3D space for her and any effects to exist
everyone's talking about the model itself but I love how the hologram technology has went from her obviously being just on a thin screen, to her genuinely appearing like she's onstage, it's so cool T0T
@@cake_111 Well yeah I know, I'm just saying that it *looks* more realistic than it was before, they got much better at hiding the screen & making her model look like she's in a 3D space, if that makes any sense
Miku is timeless. Miku is still the queen of the internet. She represents the infinite passion and infinite freedom which made the internet actually good in the first place.
Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka songs really hook me in 2009 and become fan since then. Have shared and enjoyed a lot of songs with people i meet over the years, found and joinning vocaloids related communities in the web. For all new and old vocaloid fans have a great time!
miku has filled every stage shes gone to, shes the real diva the only one that has broken tons and tons of records!!! if she leaves for months and returns she will still fill arenas!!!!!! shes just this good!!!!
2023 Magical Mirai is the best in my opinion mostly due to my raging HERO bias but I LOVE HER DESIGN AND HOW SHE STILL LOOKS LIKE SHE"S IN PRODIVA WAAHHHH 😫😫
This is absolutely incredible, not only just her voice getting more refined over the years but also the fluidity of her movements. It makes me wonder what's next.
The performance interacting with the Monitor Boxes at front of stage 2020/21? (Sitting on them/leaning on them) Thats clever design such a small thing but grounding Fair play for a Virtual Idol
I've been a Miku fan for 7 years now, and after those years i can finally see Miku on stage next year! I'm so hyped, i can't believe i'm actually going to see her! She's so iconic, i lover so much, truly an icon! (Also watching this is a great way to cope after crying ovet SatoSugu angst and JJK 236😭)
