If you ’re a lover of virtual musician with computer - generated physical structure and voices , and you live in North America , thendo I have news program for you .
Hatsune Miku , Japan ’s “ practical dad whizz , ” is coming to the US and Canada next year for a seven - city , synth - filled tour — her first tour in this cervix of the woodwind . Miku herself may be a digital magic , but her unequaled shock on the music industry is very existent .
Her bio describes her to her 2.5 million Facebook fan as “ a virtual singer who can sing any song that anybody composes . ” She debuted in 2007 as software called Vocaloid developed by Crypton Future Media , a Sapporo - based euphony engineering science company . Vocaloid software yield a human - go telling representative , but without any actual humans .
Here in America , she appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and opened for Lady Gagalast year .
Here ’s the card for her 2016 extravaganza :
April 23 in Seattle , WaMu TheaterApril 30 in San Francisco , The WarfieldMay 6 in Los Angeles , Microsoft TheaterMay 14 in Dallas , The Bomb FactoryMay 20 in Toronto , Sony Centre for the Performing ArtsMay 28 in New York , Hammerstein BallroomAnd one more spot TBD .
Her name means “ first sound from the future . ” Do you agree ? Is this what the future sounds like ? I have in mind , one-half of our human performer are all so autotuned , they go virtual anyway , so I ’m on board with this .
