Make you the same as Miku in this Vocaloid cosplay costume for
cosplay show. Vocaloids have also been promoted at events such as the
NAMM show and the Musikmesse fair. In fact, it was the promotion of
Zero-G's Lola and Leon at the NAMM trade show that would later introduce
PowerFX to the Vocaloid program. These events have also become an
opportunity for announcing new Vocaloids with Prima being announced at
the NAMM event in 2007 and Tonio having been announced at the NAMM event
in 2009. A customized, Chinese version of Sonika was released at the
Fancy Frontier Develop Animation Festival, as well as with promotional
versions with stickers and posters. Sanrio held a booth at Comiket 78
featuring the voice of an unreleased Vocaloid. AH Software in
cooperation with Sanrio shared a booth and the event was used to
advertise both the a Hello Kitty game and AH Software's new Vocaloid. At
the Nico Nico Douga Daikaigi 2010 Summer: Egao no Chikara event,
Internet Co., Ltd. announced their latest Vocaloid "Gachapoid" based on
popular children's character Gachapin.
Originally, Hiroyuki
Itoresident of Crypton Future Medialaimed that Hatsune Miku was not a
virtual idol but a kind of the Virtual Studio Technology instrument.
However, Hatsune Miku performed her first "live" concert like a virtual
idol on a projection screen during Animelo Summer Live at the Saitama
Super Arena on August 22, 2009. At the "MikuFes '09 (Summer)" event on
August 31, 2009, her image was screened by rear projection on a
mostly-transparent screen. Miku also performed her first overseas live
concert on November 21, 2009, during Anime Festival Asia (AFA) in
Singapore. On March 9, 2010, Miku's first solo live performance titled
"Miku no Hi Kanshasai 39's Giving Day" was opened at the Zepp Tokyo in
Odaiba, Tokyo. The tour was run as part of promotions for Sega's Hatsune
Miku: Project Diva video game in March 2010. The success and
possibility of these tours is owed to the popularity of Hatsune Miku and
so far Crypton is the only studio to have established a world tour of
their Vocaloids.
Later, the CEO of Crypton Future Media appeared
in San Francisco at the start of the San Francisco tour where the first
Hatsune Miku concert was hosted in North America on September 18, 2010,
featuring songs provided by the Miku software voice. A second screening
of the concert was on October 11, 2010 in the San Francisco Viz Cinema. A
screening of the concert was also shown in New York City in the city's
anime festival. Hiroyuki Ito, and planner/producer, Wataru Sasaki, who
were responsible for Miku's creation, attended an event on October 8,
2010 at the festival. Videos of her performance are due to be released
worldwide. Megpoid and Gackpoid were also featured in the 2010 King Run
Anison Red and White concert. This event also used the same projector
method to display Megpoid and Gackpoid on a large screen. Their
appearance at the concert was done as a one-time event and both
Vocaloids were featured singing a song orginally sung by their
respective voice provider.
The next live concert is set for Tokyo
on March 9, 2011. Other events include the Vocarock Festival 2011 on
January 11, 2011 and the Vocaloid Festa set for February 12, 2011. The
software became very popular in Japan upon the release of Crypton Future
Media's Hatsune Miku Vocaloid 2 software and her success has led to the
popularity of the Vocaloid software in general. Inside of Japan, the
software has proven to be popular overall, with thousands of original
songs by artists across Japan. Japanese video sharing website Nico Nico
Douga played a fundamental role in the recognition and popularity of the
software. A user of Hatsune Miku and an illustrator released a
much-viewed video, in which "Hachune Miku", a super deformed Miku, held a
Welsh onion (Negi in Japanese) and sang the Finnish song "Ievan Polkka"
like the flash animation "Loituma Girl", on Nico Nico Douga. According
to Crypton, they knew that users of Nico Nico Douga had started posting
videos with songs created by the software before Hatsune Miku, but the
video presented multifarious possibilities of applying the software in
multimedia content creationotably the dojin culture. As the recognition
and popularity of the software grew, Nico Nico Douga became a place for
collaborative content creation. Popular original songs written by a user
would generate illustrations, animation in 2D and 3D, and remixes by
other users. Other creators would show their unfinished work and ask for
ideas. The software has also been used to tell stories using song and
verse and the Story of Evil series has become so popular that a manga, a
book, and two theatre works were produced by the series creator. The
website has become so influential that studios often post demos on Nico
Nico Douga.
