Virtual pop star
 

Apparently this is a big thing in Japan. This holographic pop star named Hatsune Miku, technically termed a Vocaloid, developped by Yamaha, is a hit in Japan. I suppose there might be a market for it, but I wouldn't be going any concert of this kind. Interesting though.

from a concert point of view, Gorillaz is kinda same concept...except the band members are actually voiced by real people. Miku-chan is synthesized voice that's completely computer generated.

One hit wonder, prolly end up doing porn and in rehab...

This kind of Tech will be bringing Hendrix, Lennon/Harrison, Janis, MJ, Morrison and others "back from the dead"

I'm surprised that shes in Japan and is dressed that normal...

They do some weird schit over there....

We already have it, it's called "auto-tune"...

Do the "Vocaloids" end up in rehab, too?

Well, it's not as weird as the sex dolls.

Ghey.

Hahaha,

Hey if they can do this where are all our holographic monitors and TV's geez; priorities

Idoru, William Gibson.

wtf?
