[Concert Coverage] Hatsune
Miku Live in Malaysia 2017
Kuala Lumpur, December
2017 – It
was a dream came true especially for the Hatsune
Miku’s fans as they were treated with a first-time ever live Hologram
concert of the virtual singer at Axiata
Arena, Bukit Jalil on 16th
December 2017. Our media team from www.wljack.com has been given an
opportunity to do a coverage on such a memorable concert.
Press Conference before
the show!
Prior
to the show, we have had our press conference and meet ups with the people who
made this show a reality to the Malaysian fans. We were also being introduced
to Tamago app which live-streamed the
first-ever Hatsune Miku Expo 2017 in
Malaysia.
“We
are excited to live stream the Hatsune
Miku Expo 2017 on Tamago, thanks
to our partners Crypton Future Media,
INC and Digi. As there are
millions of Hatsune Miku fans across the globe, those who are unable to attend
the concert will get to experience this concert via Tamago. The concert live
stream will be available to everyone. Just download the Tamago app and tune in to
enjoy,” said Henry Tan, Chief Content
& Consumer Officer, Astro Group.
"This
year Hatsune Miku reached her 10th anniversary. Over these 10 years, she sang
hundreds of thousands of songs, was featured in millions of illustrations, and
entertained us in many ways. This was all made possible by the contribution of
the millions of creators who have been supporting Hatsune Miku. The Hatsune
Miku Expo events were designed to present, in addition to live concerts,
works by different creators, and we hope it can be an opportunity for anyone to
enter the “chain of creation” around Hatsune Miku. Please make the most of this
first and last Miku Expo of the year!" mentioned Hiroyuki Itoh, CEO, Crypton Future Media, INC.
Hatsune Miku Expo 2017 in Malaysia
is strongly supported by Malaysia Major
Events, a division of Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB),
an agency under the Ministry of Tourism and Culture Malaysia.
Hatsune Miku Expo 2017 was
something that was really anticipated by the Malaysian fans. After 48
performances in 7 countries around the world, it has finally arrived in Malaysia
for the first time. In addition to that, it was also awarded “First Live Hologram Concert” in Malaysia
by The Malaysia Book of Records.
There
were many pre-concert activities
including; official merchandise booths; a session with the popular guitarist
and VOCALOID producer, DJ Kurage-P;
Hatsune Miku Kinect and Virtual
Reality games; photo opportunities with a life-size Hatsune Miku figure; a
special Miku Figurine Corner for avid collectors; a drawing wall for the
artistic at heart; and, an info wall
with exciting trivia about Hatsune Miku. Many fans of Hatsune Miku have
surely taken part in all these activities.
This
highly anticipated concert was streamed live globally for free on Tamago, Southeast Asia’s newest social
live streaming app. It was viewed by fans of Miku worldwide who could not
physically attend this awe-inspiring performance.
Apart
from that, we also get to meet and greet with the guests for opening acts
including Malaysian Superstar, Zizan
Razak and upcoming YouTube star,
Chaleeda Gilbert.
Opening Acts!
Prior
to the start of the hologram show, we were entertained by Zizan Razak and Chaleeda
Gilbert’s performances which were an additional bonus for those who have
attended the concert.
But
most importantly, everyone was delighted as they saw their favourite teal-haired 16 year old cyber celebrity from
Japan, Hatsune Miku took over the
stage.
Thousands of fans
witness record-breaking concert organised by Astro & Crypton Future Media,
INC.!
The
concert has featured many upbeat music from Hatsune Miku, her friends and the band. The crowd was very excited
and most of these can be seen with their active waving of their Miku LED Light. In fact, they even knew
when to switch the lights to different colours as different cyber singers took on stage.
Hatsune Miku performed
almost 30 songs including fan
favourites, The World is Mine, Tell Your
World and a few cover of Malay songs.
The
fans definitely can’t get enough of Hatsune
Miku as they stayed behind after the mentioned “last song” and requested
for an encore. Well, Hatsune Miku has
granted their wish and came back on stage performing additional few encore
songs for the crowd.
Overall,
this show was really a very spectacular concert. In fact, one of the best I
have seen this year. Really glad to be part of the crowd who have witnessed The First Hologram Concert in Malaysia
featuring the beloved Hatsune Miku.
