Sega isn’t in charge of organizing the event but I’m pretty sure they are responsible for having the hologram in their previous concerts but MikuExpo 2024 I didn’t see Sega name anywhere on the official website and it’s suspicious af💀
The worst part is that LED screens have been shown to work at concerts before (see HoloFES). The problem is that there is ZERO attempt at filling the rest of the stage and making everything in the performance blend in, oh my god.
@@SpeederzzzYup, i'm going in to Paris for a week for Miku Expo i hope it will look better, i took my tickets 2mn after the pre-sale's opening we had no idea it was a lcd screen at the time
Thats right, even the Nico Nico douga concert from 2022 actually usted a led screen but It was wider, and even if It was pretty noticeable the animators Made a really good job by blending It with colorful backgrounds and shades that Made the illusion of the singers actually being 3D.
I really hope that it isn't the same for the London concert, because I'm going to be going for the first time after I finally got enough money to go (I've been a vocaloid fan since 2013) :(
@@St311a0ctangu1aSame here, my sister and i have been vocaloid fans since forever and this was the first Miku concert we ever brought tickets for...The dissapointement in my sister's eyes when we saw the NA's concerts reviews made me real sad and mad at the same time smh 😔
Other issues: Not every VIP ticket holder got a VIP goodie bag. Only 95 glowsticks for the merch booth VIP can no longer get early access to the merch booth We got scammed.
More tea: Miku cutout at Vancouver got stolen + whoever the cutout belongs to also had police called on them for free miku giveaways + same person also got stuff taken away at the airport i think + my guy got blacklisted from U.S. customs piss on the floor at Vancouver hit and run at San Jose EDIT: piss on floor at Phoenix
@@ElainaMaruyama - you telling me that a 16 YR ILD CAN DRUNK ALCOHOL(?) AND THE GUY RHAYS SUPPOSEDLY UN HIS 30-40S CANT HANDLE IT... Yeah sounds about right 😭
Bruh, I freaking hate it, it’s my first time too, I’m gonna enjoy it cause of how much I paid for it, but I’m not thrilled to watch a tv when I paid for a hologram
I think Crypton are just lazy workers (weird in Japanese work culture), selling the rights to Crunchyroll and then feck off into the distance. What do we care what they do know on the other side of the pond. They are running Vocaloid in the ground (exaggerated) with their laziness.
I went to the San Jose show and good lord. My friends and I were talking about how we were making fun of the VTuber concert and here we are, watching a virtual artist through a TV screen.
The Vtuber concert was actually for free (you had to pay a little fee if you were in cosplay I think?) and the Vtuber holding it had little budget and didn't expect for the negative press around it but at least the Vtuber guy actually is pretty nice unlike crunchylol and this expo
Friend 1: Hey, what's your biggest fear ? Friend 2: I'm not afraid of anything Friend 1: Ok...*shows Miku's video on the LED screen* Friend 2: 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀
Im genuinely thinking of selling my tickets (my closest concert is May 14th) because this is just insane. The ticket presale, the merch presale, the SCREEN?? and coachella had it too it wasn't absent to be there
The small size of the display surprised me, but the fans were going insane and I had a ton of fun too. The cosplay was intense and I was able to hang out with complete strangers and talk about Japan and Miku after the show. I had a monocular with me as well that let me zoom in, although my neighbors were waving their light pens so hard my seat was shaking. I was not dissapointed. The only thing I didn't like was that the lines for merch were an hour long, I floated around to see all the cosplayers instead.
I think the only main problem is the fact that they didn’t even try to blend the LED with the background. If they at least tried to make it look more presentable I don’t think it would be a big issue. Also, the way merch was handled was terrible. My blind dog could do better
Gunna play devils advocate on this one thing and say can we please not pretend merch sales were ever not a disaster? I waited almost 3 hours despite being there an hour early to get into the tiny ass rented out store that only 10 people were allowed in at a time and they had nothing left in Europe 2020
Wasn’t expecting Minnemi to make a video on this but I’m not complaining. But seriously, even though I would still probably have a good time, I’m glad I didn’t buy tickets because the closest one to my home was like a 6 hour drive away during finals week. I’ll just wait until I can visit Japan.
They have shows in Europe in October, November. I don't know how it's available to you but tickets are with 63-90 $ (not VIP) way cheaper and it's not made by Crunchyroll (at least nothing was presented).
@@TheLibermania I live in the USA and I just came back from Europe. If I'm going to travel abroad just for a concert, might as well do it in a country I've never been as opposed to countries I've been to twice.
never did i thought when stepping into the vocaloid fandom two months ago would i have expected the Miku Dark Times. THEY PULLED THIS SHIT IN COACHELLA, TOO... C O A C H E L L A, AND THIS IS THE MIKUEXPO 10th ANNIVERSARYYYY this situation breaks my heart and i feel really sorry about the fans who were blindsided by this.
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE A REAL LIFE HOLOGRAM OF MIKU AND NOW IT LED TO JUST A BIG LED SCREEN 😭😭😭😭 Here we are as vocaloid and miku fans protesting for a hologram for Miku Expo 2024...honestly its looks really fun just to watch miku singing live on the led screen and being in a big crowd with all miku and vocaloid fans as well, but STILL A MIKU HOLOGRAM WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE ABSOLUTELY THE BEST THING EVER THAT I'VE HAD SEEN SO THAT MIKU CAN WALK UP TO US AND WAVE AT US AND EVEM RUN TOWARDS US ON THE STAGE AND SEE THAT WE ARE MORE THAN JUST A BIG AUDIENCE 😭😭😭
i already expected miku expo 2024 to be a disaster the moment i saw "powered by crunchyroll" on the announcement literally people should already know the outcome
@@trashcat4886 well coachella has been a mess for YEARS, and i think its not fair to compare to coachella since its a MUCH bigger event (bc its a literal 2 week long festival) compared to miku expo
@@d0min3venAnd I bet Coachella just uses the infrastructure they already use since the Expo is close to that point and the screen with her animations is already there. Easier to handle.
To be honest i want to see vocaloid in concert since so long that is my freaking dream ! i will go see them in paris whatever screen they will use , i wont wait another 4 years or idk just for them to come back in france but i agree its sad .
Exactly how I felt. Finally getting to see Miku irl was awesome, the screen didn't ruin that happiness for me. Who knows when I would get to see her if I skipped it?
same here..... only reason i was even able to go was because its so close to me. Ill never be able to afford to fly out just for a concert so this is just disheatening,,,
People make it out to be way worse than it actually is. Internet loves to complain, but in reality it's still a fun event. Realistically the only way you can possibly make it bad is if you convince yourself that it is, so you might as well go in with optimism.
Just watched Miku's solo concert on Coachella and omg, it's so sad. The hype was 90% non existent. World Is Mine sounded so muffled 😭 It also felt SO LONELY. Like, I knew the other Piapro Characters weren't able to appear, but it felt so empty. It's also the TV and void-esque stage. At least, the public, the band and herself had fun 💙 (Sorry, English of mine is bad as very)
This was my first Miku concert, and our tickets were insanely expensive due to scalpers. I'm talking many hundreds of dollars for 1 ticket. I've always wanted to go to a Miku concert, so this was my big dream. And I can say, without a doubt, that it being a screen DID NOT RUIN THE EXPERIENCE! It was epic, and everyone was suuuuper hype. It definitely was badly organized (couldn't get a single piece of merch on venue, had to buy shirts online but penlights were out of stock there too), but to act as if the experience is thus completely meaningless because it could have been better is ridiculous imo. Yeah, I'd like to see Miku projected rather than on a screen one day, but that concert was so much fun still.
I really really considered going this year but I'm so glad I didn't. They could have at least added a background or some other visuals to make it fit with the stage. I hope next year's Miku Expo is better...
When did minnemi breaked into my room to just get the pictrues of my bed and my miku figures-👁👄👁 holy shet i think i need to lock my door and my windows
@@Blueblur599 yeah I'd be paying the expensive ticket , only allowed glow sticks that sell out in minutes and paying to commute aswell - just for that concert
I mean the technology was there before in past Miku Expos and past concerts, why would they even resort to something, that I can even do in the comforts of my own house.
been a vocaloid fan for 14 years now (since i was little) and was going to try and get tickets but ultimately chose not to because of their price and the setlist. if this had been my first vocaloid concert i would have Karen'd it uppppppppp. word of advice to everyone saying they're fine with it because they've waited so long to see vocaloid live, never let a company trick you into settling for poor quality products and services for far more money just because of hype, or they'll find more ways to take more of your money and cut more corners. no way they won't try to get away with ripping fans off again if they feel like they can if you had fun, that's well and good, but you still paid more than people did years ago for less than people got years ago. we have to raise the bar!
that's why resellers are selling their tickets for so cheap, I think people should definitely experience it for themselves and not have to pay a buttload of money expecting something different.
This was my first introduction to Miku, I had my expectations on the floor. Unexpectedly I was truly blown away, from the 9th row center, she looked 3d and life size to me, I was lucky to have a good seat. Hoping I can see the hologram next year!
The europa tour billeterie was supposed to open the 2nd of april, i waited until 7pm and it still wasn't open, they also said they would sell more tickets later but without a date I'm not familiar with concerts and stuff but that kinda left me going eh 😭
Ngl I went to the Dallas show and it was a lot better than I was expecting. The screen was not bad at all in person. Tickets and were cheap as dirt too only 11 bucks.
yeah, I went to the Denver one with my dad, and honestly, it was actually a lot better than I thought it was gonna be, and we got our tickets for 12 bucks a piece. plus, there was no way I'm missing out on Hatsune Miku coming to where I live. Hell, my dad knows nothing about Miku or Vocaloid, but he was really into it. While I would have liked to see the hologram, just getting to see the characters I grew to love so much sing and dance right in front of me no matter how they did it was 10000000000% worth it for me, and I hope to do it again.
Worse part is how this eventuly bleed over into Cochella 2024. I mean we got Miku in Cochella. But at what cost. Real Monkey paw moment if Ive seen one.
Okay as someone who’s first Miku Concert was yesterday it was actually pretty fun and while having fun I competed forgot a screen was there but it was still so much fun
I've been a Hatsune Miku and Vocaloid fan ever since Project Diva F game came out. And my first ever Vocaloid song was The World is Mine Live Concert Miku Expo song. No matter what happens with Miku Expo, I'll always be a die hard Vocaloid fan. Hatsune Miku is the best. And Vocaloid music will always be my favorite to listen to.
Went to the Newark show I was actually really pleasantly surprised by the LED screen. Doesnt beat being able to see through it like with the holograms, but it was really very good. It was especially nice not having the glow around them like on the hologram screens. My phone camera could actually focus on them. If this is the future, I think I'll still be okay with it.
@@DavidNightjet I don't think CrunchyRoll is to blame for all of this, cus there are some shows that happened that weren't sponsored by them so I think it's a Crypton thing, like Coachella for example.
Damn that sux. I saw her 2015 in Seattle, and it was jaw-dropping. They played a version of Glass Wall i cannot find anywhere but i still remember the bass drop shaking the building.
And i was thinking about flying over there for the concert and decided not to after seeing the price of a ticket.... 😂 See you in Japan at Magical Mirai and in November in Europe.
