I think they could make some improvements to the actual voice to make it more likable by more people..
But as for the fact that it's not a real person? It's a joke to think that any of the pop/rock/rap stars we have out right now are at all "real" to anyone aside from their friends/family. The average person doesn't know or will ever know half of the music stars out in the world.. so what does it matter if the next hit is something that you'll never know?
Miku is as real to me as any other band, and i'm guessing the same will apply to almost every one of you out there.

I KNOW ISN'T IT AWESOME?!-Drifter- said:
That's exactly what I thought too.
It's so weird but awesome. I don't even care about the music (though oddly for j-pop I didn't find it utterly objectionable... it's not my preferred genre, and it at least managed to be catchy) but just that this is possible nowadays is totally brilliant 
Look at all of those people, saying things you don't agree with...oh wait, it's called an opinion, you insufferably arrogant, sarcastic douchecanoe.Rutskarn said:
These people are flocking to see a "singer" that doesn't exist. It's absolutely ridiculous; and that has nothing to do with the sounds that it's producing. The fact that I also happen to find the "music" incredibly offensive to my sensibilities is an afterthought.

Having an opinion is perfectly acceptable. "I don't like this music," is fine. Hell, I don't like it either. "The fact that people like this music sickens me," now, that's not cricket.
The issue isn't that you don't like the music, the issue's that you think less of people who do. You said, "I don't like this music, and the fact that it has fans lowers my faith in humanity."
A caveat: if your intended meaning was, "People going to see a fictional character perform is what irks me"--which I grant is possible, and somewhat less arrogant--my response would be this:
Is the singer real? No. But she is a character, just like Indiana Jones, 2D, Ichabod Crane, or Gordon Freeman. She was created by artists, animators, and programmers working in tandem. These are real people, and the thing that they've created is art. People showing up to watch them shouldn't lower one's perception of the species.
...that was freaking outstanding.
It can be creppy, it can be weird, it can be whatever you think it is. I can only see how fucking great this is.
My music tastes are odd so I sorta like this. However, the hologram looks amazing! Japan is another world people. A scarely amazing one.

That just shows that she's really based on pop stars.Mcface said:
And to everyone saying that it doesnt sound real its still pretty good for synthesized voice.
Dear god Japanese people shitty dancers!
On the up side this might help music. Like you can use the most talented singers and make them look and act how you want. Cause lets be honest looks matter. Susan Boyle is a way more talented singer then all of The Pussycat Dolls pot together, but I bet you can guess who sells more records.

Wait, she still shakes her skirt in a suggestive way? I know its pop and all.... but C'mon! and you wonder how Hentai happens.
What? You thought it was still 2009? Its 2010 Mutha fucka! I gotta find that Crack which had the inventions we think haven't been done but really do exist, like lightsabers.-Drifter- said:
