AN AVATAR IDOL?

Today i'm going to talk about a female vocalist who has featured in over 100,000 songs worldwide, 900,000 fans on facebook, one of the biggest acts in Asia. Lady Gaga has revealed that this singer will open her 'ArtRave' tour. So who am i talking about? Any ideas?

I'm talking about Hatsune Miku. Hatsune is a virtual popstar, 3D hologram.The name comes from Hatsu (First), ne (Sound) & Miku (Future), which means "First voice of the Future". The voice itself is sampled from the actress 'Saki Fujita'. Yes that's right she does'nt really exist only in the virtual world. She has sold out 3D concerts in LA, Taipei, Singapore, Tokyo & Hong Kong. Miku has a human band playing real instruments. Some fans will travel miles to see one of her concerts. Others may dress like her.

Hatsune was created by Crypton Future Media & uses Yamaha's technology 'Vocaloid'. What is Vocaloid? Its a 'singing synthesizer. You input the text. You can get male & female singers.

I have to admit when i first heard of Hatsune Miku i could'nt believe how popular she was. I mean we are talking a virtual singer here. Maybe its just me. I don't know. Its just there are so many talented singers that don't get the recognition they deserve.

What do you think? Are virtual pop idols a good thing or a bad thing?

 

Until next time

THE SPHERE? MORE MERCHANDISE! BREAKING RECORDS?

 Hi! Everyone & welcome back to my blog. A new live entertainment venue opened last month called: THE SPHERE in Las Vegas. The first performer in residency is the band U2. THE SPHERE are planning between 4- 6 residencies a year. You may have seen the LED display around the outside (which looks very spectacular). Lets talk about the state-of-the -art sound-system known as 'Sphere Immersive Sound' (powered by 'Holoplot').  This is the worlds most advanced concert-grade audio system.
