Miku Hatsune

Wow. The future.  Falling for Miku Hatsune is not unheard of.  She is a virtual celebrity. A Japanese Icon.  Whether she is in a fully animated music video, or a 3D performance, she is perfect in every way.

This engineered star is not only appealing, but she is dependable.  Some wonder why many would pay to see a cartoon dance on stage to an automated song.  I asked myself the same question before looking into this character.  However, it seems as if the music, other than the lead singer audio, is all played live. The quality of these performances are perfect and seem very fun.  I would most likely purchase a ticket just for the experience.

The interesting thing about Miku Hatsune is that everything about her is fabricated.  Her voice is even software generated.

The entertainment aspect, is what the patrons pay for.  Miku Hatsune has become a celebrity in Japan. Just like a real person. But she is more perfect.

Kraftwerk

Kaftwerk is an interesting electronic music band.  Their sound seems so advanced for when it was released.  The idea that this song came out in the 1960's is bizarre.  Obviously, this band became the foundation for not only songs that were released in the 1980's but also what is still being created today. The sounds made in this song have been converted into easily accessible loops.  However, the creativity of this group is unparalleled in its own way.
