What are you guys' absolute favorite album? Pic related.
Too hard to narrow down, but this one has a special place for getting me into vocaloid.
>>15065371
Same here senpai. Although some of the remixes are worse than the originals.
>>15065371
I'm not a big fan of albums as a whole.
I tend to like one or two songs from any given album and the rest is so much B-side material.
>>15065371
So when's the next live Miku concert in Japan?
I want to book tickets quick
>>15065371
your pic, but I also recently have been listening to this one a lot.
welp that last thread crashed burned spectacularly
>>15065371
I'm not sure I would say it's my #1 album though. That's kind of hard to just pick one as in general for artists my favorite songs are scattered among different albums, etc.
Some other very strong picks would be novel music, 無彩色の虹とサカナ、ラティメリアは夢を魅る & ex machina.
Yeah I definitely can't just pick one.
>>15065371

First attempt at a 3x3. We'll see if I change it.
>>15066378
Let's not bring that up again. Any tips for learning how to tune vocaloid? I'll have some time on my hands soon, so I'll give it a shot.
>>15065371
Between this one and No Title for me. Giga-P is the best. Hard choice since No Title has Hibikase and Drop Pop Candy, but this one has Electric Angel, Gigantic OTN, Masked Bitch...
>>15065371
This, I guess.
>Friend is telling me he might not be able to go to the Dallas Expo

Is it me or Freemake doesn't work anymore to download songs off niconico? It always tells me my login/password isn't valid but as far as I know what I'm entering is correct.
If it's indeed not my fault and Freemake doesn't work anymore, what would be other good alternatives? I value sound quality above anything else, and I don't mind if I can't grab the video, I just need the sound.

Since you guys seems to like Suzumu quite a lot, what do you think about the plagiarism polemic and his retirement?
I know he had admitted the plagiarism himself, but the translations I read were kind of vague, and it's hard to find some reliable information on that matter.
>>15080774
It just came out of nowhere for me. Nobody had ever accused him of plagiarism or anything of the sort as far as I know, he just came out and said it. I think the situation might be more complicated than that, although one thing he made very clear is that he doesn't think he deserves the praise he gets, or maybe that he got too much credit for stuff other people helped him with.
He sounded very down on himself. I hope he is well.
Anyone know the setlist they played at the Japan concerts? Any chance of it being the same/similar in the NA tour?

i think the new synergy-style album is going to be released at m3, sakura records usually sells those at online shops after so ill probably pick that up. As for vom@s i havent gone over the circle list too thoroughly but there's a few albums ill be picking up
Been enjoying this today.
>>15082981
Looks solid, would've liked some Leia or Daze.
Are there any good tuning tutorials around? I'm trying to get back into music production and recently stumbled on Mitchie M. If anyone can direct me to some methods for realistic tuning i'd be very grateful. I understand that a lot of it seems to be EQ, (re)sampling/layering, and other filtering techniques, but I don't have the best idea of where to start in Vocaloid itself. I've had the free project software sitting on my PC for a while now, and I'll probably use Gumi and maybe SeeU if this information helps at all.
>>15081481
It usually is, I think. Except for the English songs they shoehorn in.
Please tell me CCrusher-P's ECHO isn't on any setlists!
That song is awful and sounds like it was written by an angsty 12 year old!

That's true for anime as well.

It's probably true for anime, I don't see it being true for vocaloid though. And I know I'll never grow out of hentai.
>>15091855
I've never really been sure whether the majority of the vocaloid fan demographic is made up of underage fangirls or older men

>I get the feeling that most people get tired of vocaloid at a certain age unless they are waifuing hard.
>>15094875
>That's true for anime as well.
I mean, you can say that about almost any kind of hobby, excluding the most general statements of "reading" or "watching tv/movies".
There doesn't seem to actually be a reason not to be into it anymore unless you
>run out of time for said hobby due to work/life
>No longer like the core parts of that hobby.
I don't think there's really a blanket age or phase where you suddenly drop hobbies you were into.
>>15095687
Neither. Probably a mix of 12-25 year old people of both genders, really.
What Vocaloid producers have you guys been listening to lately?
>>1509185521 f Going to NY Miku Expo Nighttime.
Honestly most Vocaloid fans I know are straight females and gay men.
I knew of a forty year old who was into Vocaloid, yet he was very much into conventions and anime at that time still.
I don't think I'll ever outgrow Vocaloid.
>>15096135Are you going to cosplay at miku expo? If you do, I hope you're not fat. There are way too many fatsune mikus and I hate them.

Can you tell me if MAIKA is actually good with so many languages? does she sound way too bad in your native language?
Have in mind she is a Spanish voice bank and the dude that made the video is not that good with vocaloids at that. I mean. Not perfect

is she vocaloid?
>>15096654

I can tell at least that the bits in Spanish could be better. Heres an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu46IwsPots
I know their voicebanks aren't the best, but are there many actually good songs using these two? Doesn't matter what genre, but it'd be nice to listen to what people have done with them.

I could understand why this logic would apply to teenagers (since teenagers feel the need to grow out of whatever they liked during their teen years) but I personally got (back to some extent) into things like Vocaloid and anime in my early 20s. Pre-20 was actually the time I would watch a lot of Western shits like movies and series.
I don't see myself stopping ever, all my hobbies like Japanese, art and gaming revolves around weeab/Japanese stuff and I'm definitely happier with all these things.

>I don't see myself stopping ever, all my hobbies like Japanese, art and gaming revolves around weeab/Japanese stuff and I'm definitely happier with all these things.
iktfb
I've thought about it before, whether or not it should be weird to me that all of my hobbies and interests were Jap, but they make me happy and I'm very into them, so who gives a shit.
>>15100446
>whether or not it should be weird
That thing here is the real problem. In the West it's considered weird for someone to mostly like things from Japan.
Look at an earlier comment here : >>15095870
>excluding the most general statements of "reading" or "watching tv/movies"
Why would these two things be excluded? Because they're considered "normal"? "Standard"? And whenever someone asks these questions they're called edgy.
I could also quote all the comments talking about growing out of anime etc, but as far as I know it's rare to hear people say "I grew out of Hollywood movies" or "I grew out of US series" although in the end, in both cases, they're just hobbies. It's as if people are instinctively afraid of deviating from what the majority thinks is normal and accepted.
>so who gives a shit
But yeah, indeed, who gives a shit. I was born with a controller in my hands, games from Japan and would watch anime from Japan. I feel much more at home with these things than with jewish shill propaganda movies and badly acted series. To me those are the things that are "normal" to me and that make me happy. At this point there's no further debate to have.
My post is probably unnecessarily aggressive but I still felt like typing these things out.
>>15100486
Both of the posts you quoted were mine, actually.
>Why would these two things be excluded? Because they're considered "normal"? "Standard"?
I excluded reading and visual entertainment because they're extremely general - accepting any kind of media generally means one or both of those things.
That said, I understand and agree with many of your sentiments.
>>15100512
For what it's worth I wasn't trying to antagonize that previous comment or anything, I quoted it because that bit of sentence was a convenient example, if anything I also agreed with the things you said.
And I understand what you mean. Cheers anon.
>>15096309

Fuck yeah Hachioji P is going to be there? Anyone else going to go to this?
>>15098844
Well, I guess we should be glad that kemu is again making songs, even though not as kemu, but as Shota Horie.
Also, maybe he is going to come up with new vocaloid songs soon. I mean, what was that "thank you for waking me up" video? Maybe it refers to his band, but I like to think that he's coming back as kemu.
But indeed, this uncertainty is making me suffer.

>>15098844

>>15102965
Penguin Research made a MV of Haiboku no Shounen, and they also played Chikyuu Saigo no Kokuhaku wo at concerts. Besides, there are pictures where you can see kemu's symbol at Shota Horie's shoulder.
I'm sort of surprised the NYC shows haven't sold out yet.
>>15104004
I'm still surprised the Dallas show sold out
>>15104030
Eh, I'm not that surprised. Dallas is full of weirdos.
>>15104030
Venue was probably smaller then those in NY.
I wonder how full the digital stars pre-parties will be. It would be pretty awkward if only like 20 people showed up to one.
>>15104004
The NYC Miku Expo in 2014 was not sold out. Now given that at the time L.A. & NYC were the only two US cities that had the concerts people from at least the eastern half of the US as well as die hard fans from the west side who went to the LA concert already along with probably some people from Mexico and Canada all went to the NYC venue. Given that I was able to purchase a ticket on the day of the concert at the ticket booth they didn't sell out tickets despite the large number of people attending that day.
Now that there are more concerts spread across the US I doubt they'll sell out as much tickets as in 2014 since people living close to those other concerts would most likely gravitate to the nearest venues, unless they're super die hard fans who have money to burn and go to every single concert.
>>15104786
The NYC show was fucking packed though, I honestly don't think they would have stopped selling floor tickets until people had to stand in the lobby.
>NYC is 20 minutes away
>Show is just a bit too expensive for me
I'd really like to go, but I'm much too cheap.
>>15105010
If sixty bucks is too much to shell out for a fun evening, you aren't cheap; you're broke.
>>15105021
This desu.
>>15105021
>60
I could only find 100+ on the ticket site, even for the standing floor.I am pretty broke though. College Student problems and whatnot.
>>15105053
I just checked, it gave me one for 90 after taxes and fees and shit.
>>15104030
Speaking of, Anyone here ever been to that venue by any chance? Its listed a a 50000 square foot warehouse. Trying to feel out the inside considering that it did sell out first. Looks pretty big on street view.
>>15105021
I'm broke. Well that and I'm introverted, so I don't really get that much fun out of a night out vs a night in.
>>15105282
90 plus transportation is still a bit much, but fuck, maybe I'll go.It's a shame none of my friends like Miku - traveling through the city is nicer with friends than alone
>>15105547
im also an introvert and pretty much a hermit. Miku concerts have probably been the only times i leave my house, it's worth it even if you go alone like i do.
>>15105585
How do you get money/food? Parents?
>>15105599
i live with my parents but i held a job down for a few years so i mostly use what i saved to buy shit. Nowadays i make some money selling stuff online it's usually more than enough to cover my hobbies and food
>>15076987
>>15065713
I'm definitely going to go, just need to figure out how to purchase tickets for the concert and stuff
Would anyone happen to have hotel recommendations for NYC? There was one I was looking at because it's really close to the concert venue but it turned out to be a real crapshoot.
I hope I can get a picture when they put Miku Expo in the big sign board.
I can recount three dreams I've had about miku expo already.
>one where I couldn't see shit because I was surrounded by tall people
>one where I managed to forget my physical ticket, pen light, and phone 5 minutes before the show started
>and one last night where I was having a good time but forgot all about buying merch and when I ran over to the merch table the guy in front of me bought the last shirt
Fuck, I think my brain is hyping me up too much that by the time the show actually happens I'll be sick from the hype or it won't live up to it.
>>15107420
>one where I couldn't see shit because I was surrounded by tall people
>every concert I've ever been to ever
Manlet problems, I guess
>>15107420
>>15107430
I'm not really short but I bought balcony seating for the NYC show
>don't have to stand for the whole thing
>view won't be blocked by people in front of me
>don't have to stand surrounded by fat weeaboos
Also it was cheaper than the standing floor.
>>15107462
I was on the floor at the NY show, and can confirm manlets and femlets were angry at me for not being 4'10".
They kept trying to shove past me to get closer to the stage, but it wasn't happening.
>Forty-five (45) United States dollars for a t-shirt.
What the fuck.
>>15107759
Aw man, I'm kinda paranoid just being 5'7 and planning to wear boots that add ~1.5inches.
Chicago venue has assigned main floor seats, just hope no one asks to switch seats because I'm a pushover.
>>15107813
Full graphic Cospa shirts are 60 bucks easy. I was surprised it was that cheap, but kinda doubt they'll be as good quality as cospa.
>>15107827
Well I don't know anything about that but 45 dollars for a single t-shirt is pretty fucking overpriced.

I'm not from here, but I'm just wondering, why do people pay so much to see a singer that's not real?
>>15108080
What is "real"?
>>15108080
The band on stage is real.
I like the music.
How is this any different than going to a skrillex concert or some other edm with no live vocals? The only difference is the added 2d qt on the stage which I also enjoy.
>>15108093
This, also just being to enjoy the music with other fans.
>>15107813
>they won't come in XXXLT
Strongman feels.
>>15105585
Shit same. I still work and talk when need tho so I'm not a lost cause but I would much rather lay on my couch playing dead. Lol
>>15107430
I hate being 5'6"
>>15108080
Because people like to enjoy thier hobby.
>>15108254
If you're male, I understand.
If you're female, it only starts being a problem when you're shorter than five feet.
>>15107835
Since it's a full print t-shirt (and not a crappy box print where the design is shaped into a box), $45 is a decent price.
Like the other anon mentioned earlier, COSPA full print shirts go for $60 when the design covers the whole shirt. So this will probably be of good quality as well since I paid $45 for a Calcium shirt at the 2014 LA Expo and I don't think they will change manufacturers. Shirt still looks good as new.
Maybe not the best place to ask, but has anyone tried to hook up a midi keyboard to vocaloid4 so you can play it live? I'm trying to do it through ReWire and I can get a composed track to play in my DAW, but I can't get realtime function to work.

>Being under 5'8" is a death sentence for attractive guys.
Different Anon here, Christ, I've been mistaken for a girl numerous times being short and having more of my mother's looks than my father's.
But yeah when I was in the NYC concert I couldn't see shit standing in the middle of the General Admission floor. Tall men and beastly women all around me blocking my view.
>>15109348
I won't even take offense.
I know there's no hope to not be 5'5, so I'll just roll with it
The vocaloid scene seems to be so big and yet there's no discussion around it. These threads are pretty dead.
>>15109609
Not dead at all. This one has been up for 10 days and has 166 replies, that's 16 per day.
>>15109899
That's dead as fuck compared to faster boards like /a/. Obviously anime has more to discuss and /jp/ is a slow board but I still feel like there's not much discussion anywhere about vocaloid.
>>15109388
>>15109384
Can you all explain what you mean by this?
>>15109908
These threads are nigh eternal - constantly repeating one after the other. At some point you lose things to discuss at every moment.
There are certainly things to talk about, but you'll have to bring them up. No point in complaining if you're not going to change things.
>>15109931
That argument doesn't really have any meaning behind it. There are a ton of generals that are much faster than this. In fact most generals are faster than this one. I think it's just because no one goes to /jp/. I bet most 4chan users who listen to vocaloid don't even know about this general.

>I think it's just because no one goes to /jp/
There's literally no issue with /jp/, and 'generals' culture is pretty shit as-is - it ends up promoting circle jerks and blogposting and whatnot.
The thread is up to share and discuss music and post pictures. There's no need to keep it constantly bumped and over-full

Post a 3x3 or some songs then. It's better this thread's been quiet since the travesty that was the last one.
>>15109964
Pointing out that /jp/ is slow doesn't mean I'm complaining about /jp/ being slow. And yes I go to other boards, /jp/ is nothing but touhou shitposting, and a few generals.
Basically,

>>15108080
Because Miku is my waifu and I love her.
Many singers use playback or autotune and other stuff like that, so they aren't much more real. And there are some electronic music concerts where everything is prerecorded anyway. You go to these concerts to listen to music you like, possibly see nice effects/show and be with people who have similar taste, the same applies to vocaloid concerts.
>>15109908
We make discussions when new concerts got announced, new songs from famous producers appear, some producer retire, new game appear etc. but outside of these there isn't much to discuss. We can't really talk about what song is our favorite forever.
>>15109964
>>15109982
This is a non-issue.
>>15108220
It's the US, of course you'd get XXXL shirts, they're fat as fuck there
>>15110851
Yeah, but not at concerts.
Concert tees always run small, and the biggest I've ever seen was XL, aka a biggish medium.
How's the SF venue? I got tickets but it didn't give me seats so I'm assuming first come first serve?
>>15111352
If it doesn't mention seating its a free for all.
From ny experience, there are too many VIP tickets to get a good place by the stage if you're just general entry.
Why are miku and ia so much better than the other vocaloids. Miku of course has a ton of hits, but ia also has amazing songs like six trillion years, outer science. Of course the other vocaloids have some popular songs but they don't sound as professional/high quality compared to stuff like MitchieM's work. Orangestar also has some great ia songs.

>>15111891
Anybody lining up early?
>>15112576
I was fifth in line at NY, and I showed up at 11am for a 8 o'clock show.
>>15112683
WHAT THE FUCK? You waited 9 hours in line? damn. I'm glad there was assigned seating tickets. Fuck that.
>>15112697
Took a 16hr bus ride from Canada to get there and left the same night.
I guess you could say I'm a little dedicated.
>>15112759
You're one of the good ones.
>>15112394
I think Yukari is the best vocaloid from a technical standpoint, though many UTAU banks far surpass vocaloid quality. Miku and IA are more popular so they definitely get more good songs though.
>>15112394
mitchie M uses vocalistener which requires a human vocalist. He has songs with luka that are just as impressive because what he does is basically cheating.
IA is probably the most advanced vocaloid. she's the only vocaloid made by first place co
>>15113259
Holy shit, that tech is actually really cool.

>>15112394
>miku and ia so much better than the other vocaloids
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Miku doesn't have more songs because she is better, only because she's more popular. Same for IA, Six Trillion Years etc. is a great song, sure, but kemu has plenty of other great, popular songs that mostly use Gumi.
Also, almost any vocaloid (the ones that have at least some minimum amount of quality to them at least) can sound amazing if tuned right.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hNpxi0N-2U
>>15113259
That's a bit disappointing to learn. Why don't most producers use this?
>>15113672
As he said, it's pretty much cheating.
Why use that when you can push yourself to use a vocaloid to the best of her ability?
>>15113672
The whole entire complete point of vocaloid software is to enable music creation without needing a vocalist.
A very limited run of posters have been announced for the mikuexpo.
200 posters per city, tailored to the city. 40 dollars each.
>>15114159
Oh shit. Source?
>>15114159
>200 posters per city, tailored to the city. 40 dollars each.
Fuuuuuck that!
>>15114159
Fuck. I was planning on walking around the city before the concert but now I might have to stand in line all day instead.

every thread
Is it just me, or does Magical Mirai 2013 have much better sound and voice quality than the later ones? Even Miku during the MCs sounds stupidly robotic, whereas she sounds very natural in 2013. Wonder if they did that on purpose for some reason.
>>15114265
I was thinking this myself.
They don't even specify where or when they will be available for purchase.
If it's inside the venue's, the VIP ticket holders will snatch up at least a third of the available posters. If it's outside the venue's, its going to be a fucking madhouse.
>>15114932
miku expo has been incredibly shitty with getting information out there. I remember the last concert i didnt find out about after parties and other goings on in korea town until the next day, I would have booked a hotel room if it'd known before hand rather than going home the same day
>>15114159
>>15114932
>>15114964
Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing as far as how the schedule goes. Gonna be merchandise then show er?
>>15114159
I hope they release the rest of the designs before the concert so I know if it's even worth attempting to get one.
>>15115086
It is, if only to flog it on eBay for triple the price.
>>15113259
>source: my ass
>>15109953
Kinda true. I don't browse /jp/ (since I'm not into touhou), only started coming here for the vocaloid threads.
>>15112683
Who would like to wait in line with me and SF and play monster hunter for 9 hours?
Whoever goes to the early concerts should report back to us in how the posters were sold, if they were offered before VIP ticket holders could enter, etc etc.
With such a limited run, we need to have each other's backs against the normie horde.
>>15116649
I don't think we have to worry about normies. More like eBay scalpels buying more then like 2
>>15116737
It's limited to one per person but there will still be scalpers.
>>15116649
Good idea. Hopefully there will be some official news on it soon though.
How early would someone have to line up for the NY first show? I'm trying to plan my trip.
I'm sure the lines get crazy
FUCK. I just realized I am going to the night show. I'm guessing that would probably mean I'm not going to be able to get one of the limited posters.
>>15116285
Same. This thread is literally the only part of 4chan I visit regularly. Most vocaloid fans probably won't look through /jp/ for this thread specifically, I guess.
>>15117886
People probably look for vocaloid threads on /mu/. There's really no way to know about it being on /jp/ unless you stumble upon it in the sea of touhou.
>>15117895
Exactly. It's probably the most obvious place to be. I guess it fits /jp/ too but it's not usually the place where people who aren't all that into japanese culture in general will look for it.
>>15117895
Too bad vocaloid threads probably aren't tolerated on /mu/ because "muh board culture". Pretty sure I looked on there first when I was looking for vocaloid threads.
>waiting in line for merch
Damn, I wish I knew where the merch table shit was going to be set up at my venue.
I'm guessing if it's after the ticket acceptance that VIP will get first dibs, and I'm not VIP so waiting in line might be for null.
Anyone know where merch is sold at the Chicago Theater?
>>15116261
what do you disagree with
Just bought my ticket for the daytime NYC show.
This'll be my first Miku concert.
How was everyone else's first?
>>15118373
My first was 2014 new York.
I quite enjoyed it but wished I had better tickets and more money, but this time around I'm better prepared.
>>15117895
>>15117938
>>15118067
Do you guys think it worth to create a vocaloid thread on /mu/?
Ok so I submitted a few things for Vom@s and there's not many albums I am looking forward to. Also, I missed out on M3.
>>15117767
Yeah I need to know an estimate as well, especially since I don't know how having a VIP ticket will factor in getting the best seats or not.
>>15117791
Saaame. I'll see if a friend of mine can get some posters or other merch for me beforehand.
>>15118373
Same here! I'm so excited, yet a bit frantic since I'm not too pleased with this year's previous setlist for the Mikuexpo Japan tour.
>>15118457
Not really. Half the vocaloid discussion isn't about the music.
>implying /mu/ talks about music
The /jp/ threads are fine.
>>15118467
If you have a VIP ticket you need to contend with all the other crazy assholes who bought a VIP ticket.
Let me put it to you this way. When I went to new York show, I got there at 11am, for an 8pm show. I thought the VIP line was the normal line because it stretched to the end of the block.
I was the fourth person in line for the general admission.
>>15118467
>Same here! I'm so excited, yet a bit frantic since I'm not too pleased with this year's previous setlist for the Mikuexpo Japan tour.
At this point I'm just excited to finally go to a Miku concert - the setlist itself will be fine no matter what songs are sung
>>15118457
I would, but idk if it would go too well. I know it's not all hivemind, but I bet a lot of them will say shit like "it's not real music," or it's "weeaboo shit" without even considering there are overseas vocaloids and many examples of global music besides jpop and kpop. Also the fact that some idiots think it's a "genre" and don't even look for their preferred music genre, vocal type or vocal range in Vocaloid music, despite a bunch of them spending hours looking for unlistenable, pretentious, hipster trash songs.
All I'm saying is even if Vocaloid didn't have such strong connotation with anime styled designs and virtual idols, people would still shit over it because the voice isn't "real" to them and would rather hear a mediocre person singing.
I think this is the best option for now, even though technically the first Vocaloids were english and there's much more to Vocaloid than Japanese voicebanks desu. I'm okay with talking about the image aspect of Vocaloids, but as long as there is still some discussion of the music aspect.
>>15118497
Damn. That's nuts. I might arrive maybe 3-5 hours earlier?
>>15118519
I mean I'd like to think that way for the better, but I'm still pissed they practically put the same songs as previous concerts that are pre-2012 and overdone to death. Kinda more excited to see Hachiouji in a way to balance that out since most Vocaloid DJs I have heard live at least put their own works, popular or not, though there are a few DJs that put the same 5-10 songs that never leave the Vocaloid Ranking and it irks me.
Is anyone planning on going to the drawing session things?
I kind of want to go but I'm afraid it's going to either be empty or just full of few teens/kids. I guess at least my city has hachioji there so it won't seem like I'm there just to get a sticker and make a crayon drawing.
>>15118457
Vocaloid isn't really a genre of music. There's no musical connection between all of Vocaloid. Try posting a specific P maybe?
>>15119304
Muhfuggah, you in Chi-town or NYC?
I got tickets for Miku Expo in Seattle tonight, but my bus was mysteriously cancelled without warning. Next one left at 5, now I'm an hour out of Seattle and the show starts in 5 minutes... I'm kinda sad
>>15119522
Fuuuuuuck man, sorry to hear that. Hang in there, better late than never.
>>15119543
That's what I'm saying. Hopefully I can at least see half...
>>15119549
That's fucking awful. Makes me want to plan emergency transport to Toronto.
Or maybe go a day early and see the sights and stay in a hotel.
>>15119553
I guess I'll just have to come back for '17
>>15119522
Come through Seattle-bro
>>15119549
Rootin' for ya man, hope the bus driver floors it.
>>15119560
Are you there? How is it? Whats been played?
>>15119564
Hasn't even started yet. Get the fuck over here.
>>15119556
Don't jinx it.
>>15119577
Empty seat with your name on it.
>>15119561
Why is miku riding a Yamaha vmax?
1679cc is way too big for a little girl like her.
>>15119577
I'm still in Tacoma... Run onstage for a delay. You wont get stabbed like Altamont, I promise.
>>15119588
It's only the opening act. You got time bro.
>>15119588
>anon does as asked

>>15119577
>Hasn't even started yet. Get the fuck over here.
Oh yeah that's right, when I was at the NYC Expo in 2014 even though they let the people in, it took around 20-30 minutes for them to start.
C'mon Seattle Anon! GO!!!!!! YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!!!
>>15119592
Are they doing some kinda dubstep opening thing like the Japanese concert videos?
>>15119522
And you have ana opening the show, so I dont consider that a true part of the expo. Go forth for all of us!
>>15119592
Well, I have hope...
Shit, if I could see 2/3rd of the show I'd be overjoyed at this point.
