IIRC he had Girl's Gneeration on before (which was kinda funny since only two speak English really well the others just kinda sat all pretty). So not TOO much of a stretch for him to take on something outside the North American culture, but great nonetheless.
Oddly, I wish the 3D Miku model looked better (maybe I just don't like the artist's style they adapted into 3D though).

Needs to do a collaboration with Holo Tupac to be mainstream in the US.

Prediction?
Disaster.

Miku isn't anime. She's just one of the many musical software for your computer called Vocaloids.
OK, this is what I know her from.

Anime on tv. What a time to be alive. Give me a perfomance with HoloTupac and Gorillaz and then you've got yourself a show.

"Anime" is just the modern day umbrella term for "creepy Japanese crap"
The real question is... why it shouldn't be a thing?
Anyway i'm a little surprised that there's people in a place like gaf who don't know who/what Miku is. I understand not being fans as I'm not a fan in any way (i only find a little tune to be actually bearable to listen) but i thought its existence to be pretty widespread in these kind of places.

IIRC, a lot of posters on the OT side don't even visit the gaming side.

Unless she undergoes a Miley Cyrus-esqe re-invention, it ain't gonna happen.

You've gotta be eased into vocaloid. You can't just throw it on a stage and expect people to not be confused and kinda weirded out.
Honestly, I have never seen this once before this thread. Guess I just overlooked the references/threads about it.
How/When did this become a thing?

I'm pretty excited, I would love to upload myself and become a virtual Miku once the machines take over.
No big deal to me... since I've got tickets to her concert here in LA on Saturday. HEH HEH
If I delete you does that make me a murderer?

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Does Hatsune Miku speak English? I mean, she does right?
More than 5 years ago for sure.
Agreed. It doesn't take a genious to figure out tonight won't end well. I think vocaloid is the defining musical technology of the era but it's still a very strange concept.
I belive V3 has an english voice bank, but it's not great.

For people like me who have no idea who the hell that is:
And a video of a performance.
...what is this, I don't even
What in the hell? I already thought the holograms of dead artists was bad... What's the target audience for this?
I'll just drop this here

I always thought that Miku was a videogame based on a Japanese idol.

I mean, she isn't real, can't they just get someone to give it an English voice
While I wouldn't go to one of these concerts (ignore the avatar), I can see the draw. A concert is just as much about the atmosphere as the artist. Treat it like a party celebrating music and not a concert, which those people seem to be doing.

Honestly, while I mock this kind of stuff, I still find it less shameful than the dead artist holograms. At least this doesn't feel as shamelessly exploitative as those do.
I legit want to see what happens. Its Miku :3c

I've never watched an episode of Letterman, or played the Miku games or vocaliods. But now, I kinda want to watch this to see how it plays out.
When you peel away the animu, Miku is honestly pretty fascinating. Its the democratization of popular music and pop stars. Imagine if anybody could create a Katy Perry sing. Imagine if anybody could create a Kanye West song. I think vocaloid type stuff stands a chance of succeeding in the US if you build the character around our culture instead of importing a very Japanese character.
The one where he's trying to get with a 10 year old girl?
Hilariously accurate.
