From the beginning of the concert, where images of galaxies, stars, and planets flew by until it settled upon Los Angeles, to the end of the concert, where IA dazzled us with her dance moves to convey her sweet and spunky personality, I found myself completely engrossed by what took place.Įvery component that was involved in making this IA concert possible came together nearly flawlessly. Between the technological progress with the holographic projection and my comfort level with virtual idol performances, IA’s concert was a blast. 4 years is an awfully long time to get things right and for me to be more comfortable with the thought of a programmed hologram performing on stage. What I could not fathom was just how much things have improved since 4 years ago. So another Anime Expo, another Vocaloid concert.
To me, the concept of the virtual idol was interesting, but not sufficiently interesting enough that I’d actively pay attention and seek out more Vocaloid music. Given my interest in Lia as an artist, you’d think this development would spur me to check out the Vocaloid scene in greater depth, but my interest in the Vocaloid scene never really budged from its initial levels of indifference. introduced a new Vocaloid named IA to the Vocaloid3 engine using the voice of one of my favorite J-pop artists: Lia, the vocalist behind such works as Clannad ~After Story~‘s “Toki wo Kizamu Uta” and Angel Beats‘ “My Soul, Your Beats”. It’s been 4 years since Anime Expo attendees have been treated to the Vocaloid concert that was Mikunopolis.
