Seems like an awesome concept to me. I hope this tech gets really popular so that we start seeing more applications and development.
We could go from concerts, to movies, to GAMES.
Isn't his our ultimate goal as gamers? To put us INSIDE the game?!
EDIT: and for anyone questioning the legitimacy of this as a form of artistic music isn't looking past the surface. A REAL person composed the music, and did the animation, and designed the art. It is still human creativity and can therefore be appreciated as such.

You can get the same effect by taking acid at any concert after listening to several hours of JPop...you'll probably wake up the next day with blood on your hands but that's probably for the best.
What the hell.....what the hell....what the hell....
[snaps out of disbelief coma]
This is quite possibly the creepiest thing I have seen, ever.
Besides having to turn off the sound due to the ear raping pitch of the singer I cannot believe people would go live to see a computer perform.

Actually there is a few older vocaliods. Here's one from that concert. Her reporeted age is in the 18 to 25 range.kouriichi said:

OT I have already seen clips from the show but I still gotta say I absolutley love vocaliod. All the songs they sing are from people outside the music industery who may not be able to sing but they make damn good music that has actually brought people to tears. Miku is not nesacary my favorate but she is always the first one anyone ever see's and she brings in the publicity which might mean hope for more vocaliod stuff in the states. Even if I'm the only one here who seems to care
That's technically what holograms are anyway. Up until now (as far as I can tell) there were only static holograms or sprite-based animations, each sprite being a different holographic plate which was switched out as needed. This was very fluidly animated, which is why I was asking how they did it.Moromillas said:
There's an awful lot of herping and derping in this thread. Vocaloid is just a synthesizer with anime-like characters attached. It's similar to programs like Garage Band, but for vocals instead of instruments.
Are you positive about the concert being done with MMD? Its graphics typically look something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uObJD1idK7I so I find that a bit hard to swallow unless it came from an official source.
I think Gumi sounds the best, though Miku is still the cutest.

There's a vocaloid fan group on this very site: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Black-9734-Rock-Shooter-and-Vocaloid-Fan-ClubMissGinaKid said:

This reminds me of the star trek voyager episode virtuoso, it's about the holographic doctor becoming a singing sensation to an entire species. I know this because I watched that episode last night
