OH MY GOD HATSUNE MIKU-CHAN IS GOING TO BE A GUEST AT ANIME EXPO 2011!?!?!?! OMG OMG OMGOMG THAT IS SO KAWAII-DESU OMG KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~

So if i'm not mistaken, AX gets one of those Vocaloid concerts where they project an image of Miku singing?

im kinda jelly, i always wanted to see one in person D=

omg this concert is gonna be sooo epic! They Sega and crypton apparently know how much the last concert sucked and want to make this concert super epic!!! Plus with toyota backing this it's bound to be so epic!

>Attending ACen next week.
>Reads AX guest page.

/rage

>>4459520
you said epic three times, do you realize that?

Am I the only one that thinks this is stupid? It's a hologram, for christ's sake.

>>4459545

>implying any of the posts in this thread are serious

I wonder what she sounds like live.

>>4459545

I wonder if that's the joke.

Wish I could go. I legitimately like Vocaloid music.
Haters gunna hate

Will Anime Expo get the live band too? I might consider taking a road trip down there.

So Hatsune Miku just saved AX?
also inb4 AX littered in Toyota ads

Would be cool if they released a preview of her English voice bank at the concert with an original English song.

>>4459551
it's a projection.
and Vocaloid fans don't necessarily find it stupid.
Gorillaz is a virtual band, is that stupid?

>>4459584
what did it needed to be saved from?

Balls I wish Sakuracon was big enough to pull shit like this.

Burning with jelly.

God damn it. I'd have to spend all the money I have to be able to fly there just to see that concert. Nothing cool like this happens up here in Michigan...

I would love to hear "come on, come on! ret's dance!" in a horrible all-English version of Popipo.

>not going to anime expo
>see this
>shit

See you guys there.

if only i didn't live on the other side of the world and wasn't a poor uni student ;___;

I'm waiting for it to be complete shit and just a video of the concert like they did in California (?) not too long ago.

I am honestly considering flying all the way to Anime Expo just to see this.

I..am pathetic.

>mfw it ends up being some american Miku cosplayer

>The concert is based on the event that took place in Tokyo on the 9th March 2010 named "Miku's Day Thanksgiving", but will feature a few improvements over the original event. The 3D imaging will be created by SEGA and supervised by Crypton Future Media, the creators of Hatsune Miku.

I hope its not like last year's flat screen projection of a MMD. What a waste and disappointment that was.

I fucking wish I was going to AX this year. Fuck fuck and more fuck. I really wanted to see one of her concerts.

>>4459400
can someone explain to me what HATSUNE MIKU is?

Is it a fictional musician? a music program/software? what the hell is it?

>>4459990
Holy shit have you been living underneath a rock for the last few years?

>>4459990
>a music program/software
Shes one of the voice banks for the vocaloid music program. Shes basically just a mascot, and any other things associated with her (and the others) were created by the fans/program users.

>yfw you realiz the e concerts in America are vastly different from the ones in Japan

Expect screaming, lots of screaming. You'll barely be able to enjoy your concert like those Youtube videos. :c

>Planning on going to AX as a Rocket Grunt with some friends
>Friends bail for various reasons
>Its cool... but i'm still alone
;_; okay.png

Still excited.

I am..... so tempted to just cancel the three cons I was going to go to to save up for this fucking thing.

Graaah I fucking hate living in Alabama.

At least you guys have Kami-con.

>>4459551
I'm with you. Vocaloid is just a japanese version of auto-tune, only stranger.
>Lets get a singer to say a bunch of words and piece it together to sound like a song.

Doubt at this point I'll be cosplaying now. Need to buy swag for Kalafina to sign,and attend their performance. Now this.

Sigh,just take my money AX.

>>4460858
nnnno? It's a voice synthesizer. They record you making the vowel sounds and form a synthetic voice. I'm the voice of an utau.

>>4460877
Vocaloid voice banks are more complicated than Utaus.
But yes, they don't record full words so >>4460874 is still wrong.

>>4460874
>Vocaloid is just a japanese version of auto-tune, only stranger.

Don't make me have to run my Vocaloid panel on your ass.

>>4460930
Just out of interest, what do you say in your Vocaloid panel about the relationship between Rin and Len?

>>4460944

Mirror images. Equivalent to genderbending.

I forgot to type in the verification.

>>4460890
Vocaloid is a synthesizer in the same way a TB 303 or 808 is. It takes words as input, but the software uses granular synthesis and vocal samples to form the words into output, which is why certain words and passages use really harsh frequencies. The original software as developed by Yamaha isn't even marketed to consumers, it being relegated to actual production studios the way AutoTune is.

>>4460949
Cool.
Just wondering if you were setting the newbies straight on that is all.

>>4460952
Actually, I begin our Vocaloid 101 panel with a segment called "What Vocaloid Isn't" that's intended to do just that. =P
