In addition to her real-world musicians, an impressive light show guides her viewers through different narratives, emotions, and the introduction of various characters within her musical galaxy, like her friends Kaito and Meiko. Think two hours performing as a digital avatar is child's play? It’s no small feat for her dedicated four-piece band, further proving that the key to robotics is having them harmoniously collaborate with humans, rather than replace them. You might be surprised to hear that not everything about her live shows is artificial. What she lacks in the unpredictability of a live human concert, she makes up for in stamina: the show goes on for two hours with no breaks, outfit changes or mid-song chatter. Rather than clapping, you'll see a sea of dancing blue lights (for a sad song) or red lights (for a heavy metal song).Īs the concert begins, Miku appears out of thin air and speaks a few Vocaloid words to her entranced crowd. These glow sticks change colour in symbiosis with the gig and have become a defining factor of her performances. Inside the venue, fans wield glow sticks, but not your run-of-the-mill neon club night fixtures, but rather the specially-crafted lightsabers which have become, to many, a symbol of one's loyalty and attendance of past Miku events. Can she stay 16 forever? Or must she, as a virtual modifiable avatar, accompany society's evolution and adapt to more flexible ideas of what women can be? This detail led me to question the evolving standards we impose on the female form and how Miku is engaging with it. One concertgoer by the name of Craig, age 29, even points out that the reason he loves her so much is because she is, in his eyes, "the perfect woman".

But a more in-depth look into these different demographics also constitutes an integral part of Miss Miku's legacy, as she equally fascinates and arouses some of her fans.
