Toronto just sold out but one anon >>15245174 said it might be due to scalpers.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yzJM2QqQQMq-xWTx7Vn5QEvqEPR7FMbl3hwJdDXB3lU/edit?usp=docslist_api
Toronto meetup sheet. Last time I'm going to post it, since no one is using it. Well, not entirely true, eight people signed up but no one has made any plans of any kind.
I'm not mad, just disappointed. Sasuga /jp/ I suppose.
>>15245193
Anything selling out could be due to scalpers.
Whether or not the venue fills up, Miguexpo still made the money on sales, so that's what counts in my book.
First timer questions:
'Center stage' is more important than 'distance from stage', right? Is there a point where that is no longer true, and you would rather be closer to the stage than centered?
How early should I get there? The theater in New York doesn't have seat numbers associated with your ticket, so it's first come first serve.
>>15245282
Agreed. Mexico and Toronto can look forward to stops on the 2018 expo.
>>15245293
I would say that centre is more important than closeness until the point where you can't make out the faces of the band.
If you're GA in new York, you're already fucked. I was the third guy in line for the 8pm show there, at 11am, and still got kind of a shitty spot thanks to VIP.
>>15245227
Something like this for New York might be cool. What does a typical meetup entail? Is it just getting together to smoke weed before the show, or is it jerking each other off during/after the show?
>>15245298
That's unfortunate. How far back were you forced due to your general admission ticket? Is the VIP section sectioned off or something?
>>15245299
The new York one is being run by one of /jp/s most insufferable tripfags so I wouldn't suggest it.
But in theory, it's some people to eat, drink, line up with, then maybe eat and drink again with afterwards.
>>15245322
The VIP isn't cordoned off, but they get early access.
There's a guy near the centre of your image wearing a yellow shirt. I was somewhat to the right of him for the expo.
>>15245322
All thise phones
I can't found this anywhere in the internet, am I not searching hard enough?

I wonder why sexualization is always portrayed as bad thing only when it comes to Anime.
I never see anyone in main stream complaining "It’s hard to separate the sex from pop music these days."
>>15245668
Never heard of it, but it looks good enough, if you manage to find it drop some links. I'll take a look on AB and jpop
Anyone know the official name of the song with AnaXMiku during the encore? The Miku song?
>>15245783
Pretty sure it's just "Miku"?
>>15244233T-this is correct.
>>15244999
ねむとろニカEP by イナバの楽団 and The magic arts & 割烹着ガール by ヤヅキ.
Don't go buying them or anything, anon. They'll get out eventually. As an example, a few days ago 光と空想の３原色 by monaca:factory got leaked (that I know of) although it was released in 2010. I can wait.
>>15246196
Holy fug , you mind linking that monaca factory album? I love that artist
>>15246210
Sure anon, it's just right there : http://mikudb.moe/album/3-primary-colours-light-fantasy/
Now hoping for that one http://vocadb.net/Al/341 to also show up sometime in the future.
Speaking of monaca, anyone has the album he made with whoo?
hymenoptera it's called http://vocadb.net/Al/6624

>>15245324
At first I reluctantly set one up back in late March upon another anon's suggestion since I created an extensive list of places to meet up and things to do. I closed up due to 3 reasons:
1. I explicitly told people to give me their itinerary NO LATER than the end of April/beginning of May - I only got 2 people joining, one of which is Derp Commander.
2. Reason #2 is Derp Commander himself. He ANNOYED the ever-loving piss outta me. He wanted to play backseat driver and bitched and moaned that he wasn't going to any after parties cause of his situation, looked like he wanted to shape the who meet up around him. Honestly at that point if I had met him in public I would be tempted to drown him in a Penn Station toilet after knocking him around. Honestly does this guy knows what's coming out of his mouth or is he that aspie that he doesn't?! So then when I resigned he then not ask or said please but just told me to hand over the email account I made so he can take over. I didn't reply and held onto the account outta spite.
3. Change of plans. Since I only had two people and one of which being the charming DC I decided to cancel out when they announced the pre party in Brooklyn with Hachiouji P. I said fuck it, closed up shop and rented a hostel for 2 nights.
So that's about it, I HAD set one up but due to the reasons I mentioned I cancelled it. Now I gotta get my ass to work.

I hope it's just as gay live
>>15246717
Negitoro live is probably the only thing that has a chance at getting me to act like a jack ass in public.
>>15245293
From my experience at the Ballroom in 2014, the distance isn't a problem. I did VIP standing for the first show and top balcony for the second. If you're short, I recommend getting there a few hours early.
>>15246288
I didn't email you before you cancelled but if you still want to hang out with anons I could message you before the show.good thing I used my throwaway meetup for the doc I guess
>>15246717
I never liked magnet originally but the band did a killer job so it ended up sounding really good.
>>15246801
I chuckled during the performance since they reminded me of those inflatable tube things at a car dealership but in a much slower pace. But hey, maybe it will look sexy to you who knows.
>>15246288
I love how you're trying to blame me for your inability to organize anything worth a damn. I'm not the only one who's said they have to be out of there in time to catch the train.
And no, I wasn't complaining, if anything I was trying to come to an agreement that would work for all of us. Then you said you had to bail because something else came up. I suspect that's the real reason, and your post is just an attempt to undermine my attempt to pick up the ball that you dropped, like a spoiled child who hides his toys so no one else can play with them.
Look, I get it, you couldn't make it. Happens all the time. But seriously, don't start trying to fuck the experience up for the rest of us.
Anyway, once again, sign up for the NYC mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/miku-exponyc2016/join

I'm literally not the one who shut down a mailing list just to spite some guy on the internet in an e-pissing match.
>>15247194
Reading comprehension time, YOU were just ONE of the reasons. Seriously I'm ending this stupid bullshit now. I'm not replying to anymore of your messages.
Anyone going to the Houston one tonight wantto meet up?
>>15245227
Added some ideas for food to the list and suggested some places to meet up. I would personally rather meet after three to check into the hotel and figure out what to do with my bags. Standing in line for hours for a seated show seems silly.
That said, does anyone know about a baggage policy in the theatre?
>>15247219
I read your post, and I completely understand it. I'm just telling you I think it's absolutely bullshit.
>>15247303
Most theatres don't allow baggage, or they have a baggage holding area for a fee.
>>15247259
I'm there right now
>>15247644
why so early?
>>15247690
Why not? I got to the Dallas show at 10am.
>>15247713
Ok you got Line?
>>15247731
Yeah.I was like, tenth there
>>15247750
Lol no I meant LINE.
>>15247759
I mean, I got in line, I don't know what getting line is.
>>15247796
Its a japanese messaging app. So we can coordinate the meetup but looks like I'll just use a trip code because I won't be there till around 6.
>>15247825
Oh, no I don't have that thing
I hope Houston's cab service isn't nearly as bad as the reviews make it sound (it probably is) since it's most likely going to be my only way of getting around.I doubt there'd be an anon around George Bush International somewhere between 4:45 and 5:00 that'd be able to help, right?
>>15247834
I could pick you up on my way down I-45. That or you could just get an UBER.
>>15247854
I'm about to depart from LR right now. Flight should arrive at 4:31 if you'really interested in helping am anon out.
>>15248011
Well I won't be heading to the concert till around 5:30/6:00 could you wait at the airport till then?
Already 2:30 and Houston still hasn't set up the lines or parking lot yet. There's not even that many people here yet. Dallas was much more organized and there were over a hundred people lined up by this time
>>15248057
Houston got announced so late that I bet most people ended up going to Dallas.
>>15248066
And it's a weekday, it'd be crazy if the whole crowd was like 500 people
>>15247796

They really fuckerd that one up didn't they? I guess it was just to fill up some time honestly.

So what started your downward spiral into vocaloid music? How did you discover miku?
>>15248248
Well I happen to be a"nice guy".
Some fat Mexican just let her little kid piss all over the side of the building. Fucking Houston.
>>15248257
Dank reaction images on the internet duh
>>15247161
Why do people dislike you?
I cannot believe MikuExpo NY is gonna be next weekend. I'm so nervous, yet so excited.It's gonna be my first time!
The only thing that's not clear if when they'll be selling merch. I'll be arriving there Friday morning, so I really hope it's not before that.
I hope I am able to make some new friends.And I hope the meetup is nice and isn't full of drama. I mean I get the mentality that tripfags tend to be obnoxious in every board, but I don't fully grasp the drama or DC's reputation in the situation here. It should just stay between you two, and not make it uncomfy for everyone else.

Sakura no Ame in middle school. I just graduated university and listened to it again for nostalgia's sake. Time really does fly.
>>15248401
Well new York sounds like a shitshow. When I went last time, the coolest person I met was some guy who was way too into monster hunter.
It was such a cessation of humanity that the Japanese camera crew had a permanent look of disgust. I had a picture of the sound guys face, but can't find it anymore. Go tell your dad that you identify as a transgendered otherkin and you should see something similar though.
>>15248433
Is it just the east coast that deals with degeneracy like this?
>>15248449
No. But I don't speak Spanish so I don't know how The L.A. show was.
>>15248056
That'she a long time to wait. I'm gonna go ahead and check into my hotel which is nearby.
Am I the only person that keeps confusing Wowaka with wakoda and vice versa?
>>15248257
Back in 2010 I think I had heard the term VOCALOID lots on /a/ and thought it was an anime.
I was looking for a ED song from Sora no Otoshimono and actually though Miku was Nymph.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgBZVU8wOj4
All theses years and I still love this version of the song and listen to it on the same PSP at night.
I figured out some more about volcaloids and downloaded about 10 songs. Liked world is mine and Meltdown.
Then one day I decided to download Project Diva 2nd ISO. Next day went out and bought PDf.
No I have thousands of songs. More vocaloid than anything else.
Anybody else know or like these lesser known songs? Are any of them more popular then I think. They came from one of the first big folders I download many years ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_JyLcLToZs

>>15248433
Was is really that bad? I was hoping it would not be like that.
>>15248481
Alright just let me know the address of the hotel if you still want to be picked up.
>>15248433
The camera crew wasn't hot enough shit from what I experienced for them to be triggered like you described. They came to me in line at the Hammerstein because I was in formal dress and asked where I was frombecause I look like one of thembut they turned away when I replied "Texas" in a clear American accent.
I met the cross country dudes from Japan who watched the LA show and drove to New York for that one, but they found me out when my limited Nihongo broke like uncooked spaghetti in front of their very eyes. Luckily a gaijin I befriended in the line for the concert happened to speak Japanese decently to translate.
tl;dr New York was fun.
>>15248525
It's the Townplace Suites at 4015 Interwood N. Parkway
I bet you know this, but "Kingdom Hearts Insider" (it's just a soundtrack site, not limited to KH, thank goodness) has many of the complete Miku soundtracks! To be found here: http://downloads.khinsider.com/?u=906139
>>15248527
>formal dress for an electronic rave
I really don't understand this.
>>15248545
Alright I'll just walk into lobby when we get there or what ever I'll have a sign.
>>15248289
Which show are you going to?
>>15248616
8pm show!
>>15248671
Me too, it's also going to be my first vocaloid concert.
>>15248433
Don't worry anon. I'm a cool person and I think I have ok friends.
>>15248571
I'll start hanging out in the lobby at 5:30.
>>15248692
I hope you have loads of fun anon!
>>15248706
Go ahead and come down at 6:00 we are about to leave and it's going to take a solid 30 min to get there.
I went to my local Dallas show, but couldn't make it to Houston. I need more Miku. Should I buy an overpriced resale ticket and travel to Chicongo?
Who /in line and dying in the sun/ here?
>>15248812

>>15247050
> I didn't email you before you cancelled but if you still want to hang out with anons I could message you before the show.
I honestly don't know if I can clutch a decent meet up on such short notice since I'll have to coordinate the afternoon crowd as well. It would be nice to find someone to talk to other than myself while on line, I'm a night show VIP BTW.
I'm going to go out for a run, maybe I can think about it but I wouldn't hold your breath. I'm talking to a cool guy about meeting up AFTER the concert for drinks and we would like more /jp/ers to join so trying to work that out.
Fuck, tickets aren't available online for the Houston show anymore...
I can still get a ticket at the door right?
This is my first Vocaloid concert so I'm not really sure what to expect.
I'll be wearing a black Miku shirt if anyone wants to possibly find me there later.

Vernon, BC, Canada.
Going to homeless in less than 2 weeks, so who knows after that. Maybe I will try to sneak into the states and look for my long lost oneesan, she has been living illegally in Arizona for over three years. Is there Miku in Arizona or anywhere close. I don't know shit about USA. I have also been bleeding from my ass for over 3 months and losing weight every day, so I may just die soon.
>>15249222
Got room for two fellow anons up there?
>>15249396
Arizona's pretty far from BC. Pretty hot as fugg too. The heat might dehydrate your withering body even further.

>>15249456
Sounds like a nice place to die. I hate being cold. Maybe I can make it. My sister took a bus. I dropped her off in Nov 2012 and gave her some money and my DSi XL, always thought I would see her again. If a bus crosses the border, will everyone be searcher for drugs? I want to bring my suicide kit.

OUT! OUT! OUT! GET EM' OUT OF HERE!
>>15249471
Well seeing as you're coming from Canada and not Mexico, I think you can just walk on over and nobody gives a shit. There's a part of the midwest where the canada/US boarder is literally a two lane road with no fencing whatsoever.
Though from BC you might need the ferry?

Yeah, found it on my way to work today. Thanks though. How'd you like the EP?
My arms are so done. Houston had a small crowd, but it was still pretty fun. If there's a next year I'll go to Dallas for sure.
>>15248257
I remember World is Mine and there were plushes and posters being sold at Suncoast. I didn't give a shit about Ryo and the early stuff so it flew over my head. I tried out PDF because of the great console rhythm game drought after the falling out of Guitar Hero and Rockband. The divers genres in the demo caught my attention so I went and pirated PD on PSP. Now I'm here.
>>15250422
Good pic, almost true.
God I love Miku.
I just have to get through tomorrow and Thursday and then it's miku time.
I can do this.
>>15250225
Ten Thousand Stars is GOAT English Miku. Miku is okay, don't care for the rest honestly.
>>15250422
Oh fuck I think this is me. I always knew about Miku but I played Project Mirai and now I spend hundreds of dollars a month on fucking figures
>>15248274
It's probably the tripcode. I'd have probably stopped using it long ago, if I didn't get a kick out of how much it triggered some people.
>>15248289
Regardless of what people think of me online, I'm a nice guy in person. Or so everyone tells me.
>>15248391

I love the woo-ing Meiko gets when she does that "bring it around town" move.
>>15250950
>>15250420
How was Houston? Dallas was amazing, I do wish there was a bit more wota than given. I feel like people were doing it but the acoustics weren't right. Bomb Factory had an interesting setup. I do hope you all had a blast however, I wish my arms stayed sore and my glow sticks I kept stay dim but slightly active forever. Great experience.
Following the @mikuexpo twitter is such suffering. The awful western fan shit they retweet makes me want to vomit.
>>15250974
Houston had much better acoustics (but I don't think it was ad loud) and the crowd was smaller. However, the venue was fucking garbage and the staff were all uncoordinated idiots. Also, I felt like since the crowd was so much smaller, the band wasn't as into it as they were in Dallas. In Dallas, MEG.ME especially seemed like she was having a blast on stage and loving the energy, but the crowd in Houston wasn't as hype. A group of guys front and center seemed to be more concerned about their glow stick coordination than the actual show.
>>15251054
How many people attended? Dallas was a solid 4.5k. And yes! They all were into it a great deal. The band introduction was killer in itself. MEG.ME on those keys was amazing. And I've never seen a line as long as Dallas as anything in my life.
>>15251070
Obviously I don't know how many people actually attended, but I'd be surprised if there was more than 2000, I guess, assuming Dallas was actually 4300 like they said. Maybe not even 1500. At 6pm, there were as many people in line for Houston as Dallas had at 1pm.
>>15251054
I felt like the right half of the crowd was participating quite a bit more than the left side. I saw more phones out on the left. I was sick and feeling pretty trashed but I was still at least trying to participate.
Also I learned that long arms are a liability in regards to glowstick waving.
>>15250974
Houston was pretty sweet. Was my first Vocaloid concert. It was way better than I was expecting. Smallish crowd, I got there kind of late, I missed Anamanaguchi and Miku's first one or two songs.
Some good cosplays too.
I was also rolling my balls off.

Why do the vocaloids use mics even when they already have head worn mics on during some songs?
>>15251967
It's not like they use the mics in the first place

What is your favorite Miku outfit /jp/?

Default or those slutty variants used in MMD videos.

MAH NIGGA!
There's something about that female magician outfit that makes me pop a tent like DC Comic's Zatanna. Also here's a pic perfect for your phone.
>>15252271
Append, definitely. Great design, looks so sleek and futuristic. Rin Len append are my favorite outfits for them as well, same reason.

When I was getting into anime, my friend showed me Hatsune Miku no Gekishou and explained who is Miku.
It didn't even took me a year to have room with posters and figures of Miku and sleep together every night. She became my first and only waifu.
>>15252271
V3. It looks cute and beautiful but also professional and perfect.
Append looks way too slutty and others don't feel like real Miku.
>>15252669
>Append looks too slutty
Me and you, outside, right now.
>>15252715
>practically nonexistent skirt

You can't deny it's slutty as fuck.
>>15252818
Hear hear
This anon speaks the truth
>>15252715 Sorry mate, but append is DESIGNED to be slutty
>>15252837
I'm happy they went back to original when designed V3.
Lewdness should always stay only in fanworks, Miku should always stay young, pure and innocent when shown by Crypton/Sega.

As a budding buyfag since last summer too, I'm troubled by my lack of Miku figs and Nendos - there are so many to choose from. I need to get a plush and some nice prints for my room too. Plus, I need Project Mirai DX soon too.
I'm going to the concert in NYC and the timing couldn't be better for me in this stage of my Vocaloid interest.
>>15252912
Go home, Joel.

There's a nice 1/12 swimsuit figure coming out this month, about 25-30 dollars depending on currency. Theres a Luka one, but it doesn't look as good as mikus.
Is there any software that can convertvocal sound files in to phonemes / Vocaloid sequences?
>>15253518
Thanks anon. I don't know if I want a lewd figure to be my first Miku - and as a Lukafag I'd probably want hers as well to complete the collection.
That said, I might get this Luka
http://myfigurecollection.net/item/401020
>>15253518
Did I say this month? I meant next month.
Delayed. Again.
>>15253540
Swimsuits aren't inherently lewd anon.
>>15253561
Fair enough, but there are so many qt Miku figs out there that it feels almost weak to get a swimsuit version as my first.
>>15253539
No. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

Luka's taa taas needs to be bigger.
>>15253846
I was thinking the same thing
mikus flat chest is nice and perfect
luka definitely has bigger boobies
Anyone know if the merch booth in Toronto is going to accept cards?
Wondering if it'll be worth the time to convert some superior USD over before getting there.
>>15253919
Honestly they should have just done it in Montreal. Toronto is a liberal shithole, MTL is much better for events and partying
>>15253919
Filthy yank get out reeeeeee
Unless you're voting trump. Anyone I see wearing maga gear is getting a drink bought for them.
>>15253919
Well last night in Houston they were doing cash only, and the lines for merch were still enormous even for the smaller Houston show. I think they have to do cash only to keep the line moving as quick as possible.
>>15254041
I wouldn't use Houston as the standard. Dallas had credit cards. The Houston venue was fucking awful and the staff were all retarded. I would assume they take cards at the other shows, except maybe in Mexico.
I always wanted to make a serious try at getting into vocaloid music but where do I start? I've listened to only a few Miku songs and generally I find them too high-pitched to be enjoyable. Googling 'vocaloids for beginners' tends to get me pages about making music, not listening to it, and bigger lists tend to be filled with moonspeak.
>>15253539
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLlg8CTnAxs
It defeats the purpose of being a vocalist independent software though. I guess the upside is that if this was more readily available, it could make entry into vocaloid music production easier for beginners while still letting expert tuners to find their own style.
>>15254041
>>15254081
I went to the Houston show last night and I was so disappointed that I wasn't able to get any merch. It was getting late and I had a long drive ahead of me and I waited for a few minutes to see how fast the lines were moving.
I ended up leaving after 10 minutes. I really really wish I could have gotten some shirts and posters and shit.
>>15254136
Honestly I think one of the games are a good starting point. They usually have a wide genre of music, plus it is a little entertaining and occupying when you're pressing buttons to the beat.
They have lots of costumes too, so you get a really good introduction to the whole Vocaloid world.
Also don't feel bad if you don't like all of the music. I don't like that many Vocaloid songs, but it was a totally different experience in concert, I loved it all
>>15254136
Ayyy do some vaporware
>>15254179
I would second the games but add you can download just the dreamy theatre or whatever it's called, they're like little music videos. I never cared for the games but I have all or at least most of the little movies.
>>15254136
The high pitch can take some getting used to. Try starting off with lower pitched vocaloid songs using Miku Dark/Solid, Gumi, Luka, IA, Len, other male vocaloids, etc. Also, finding out producers you like in the genres you enjoy is important since there's vocaloid music of all genres out there. Try these maybe:

Anyone else struggling to reintegrate into a post Miku Expo world? I just keep listening to "Disappearance of Hatsune Miku" on repeat and crying. If she doesn't come back to NA next year, I don't know how I'll cope
>>15254169
I was worried I was going to miss out on merch since I had to get a ride from a friendly anon and his friend and I didn't want to be rude and keep them waiting. I went for merch after the end of the show and managed to cheat a little by getting into the middle clump at the left table and cutting in when it started to merge. I wish the online store still offered some of the goods though. I forgot to buy something for a friend and I wish I could fix that.
>>15254228
I think I know what you mean. Was my first Vocaloid concert and I haven't stopped thinking about it since I left last night. It was fucking magical, blew my expectations out of the water.
I've felt a minor urge to cry, but I think that's due to Molly still.
I thought about catching a flight to NYC so I could see her again, but it's a lot of money for a flight.
>>15254237
How was the anon carpool? Also I'm glad you were able to get some stuff. I feel really badly about cutting in line and I like to wait until everyone else has had their fill. And fuck me, there's an online store?
>>15248257
>find miku's levan polka when looking for leekspin vids in middle school
>look her up and fall in love with the concept and design
>discover "the disappearance of hatsune miku" and "love is war"
It's all history from there, friends.
>>15254228
>Anyone else struggling to reintegrate into a post Miku Expo world?
It hit me pretty hard when I was trying to sleep after the Houston show that this was probably the most fun I had in a long time and I was going to go back to my mundane 8-5 on Thurs. I'm honestly considering trying to go to both of the NY shows even though it'd be kind of costly at this point.
>>15254249
The carpool was only three people including myself. While I enjoyed myself I kind of found it sad that two random people I never met before were easier to talk to about my interests than just about every real life friend I had. There was an online store during the fundraising part of the expo, but it was closed down once the shows started. http://mikuexpo.com/na2016/goods
>>15254301
I feel you, I had so much more fun than I thought I was going to have, and I'm the awkward guy on the floor that just kinda shuffles around. I realized half way through just how much I was laughing and smiling. Fuck, my eyes are watering...
I wish I could talk with strangers easily, but I was just so excited I could barely form coherent sentences. One guy came up to me after the show since he also had a Miku plush on his waist and I can't even remember what I said exactly, I was just grinning like an idiot the whole time. Same for when I asked for pics from a few of the cosplayers. "oh my god can i take a photo i love your cosplay this is great thank you"
And yeah, I saw that store page, but every link is just a larger photo, fuck... I knew I should have bought everything online months ago ;__;
>>15254249
>>15254301
Going to New York would be really costly at this point, especially considering you'd have to get there a day early and get a hotel and plane tickets and shit.
>>15254331
Speaking of which, different anon here, wondering if anyone had any suggestions for hotels near the NYC venue. Everything I've been looking at is really expensive.
>>15254331
Yeah, the main cost to me was plane tickets, at around $1,000 round trip it's just way too much. My sister and her husband live in NYC so I could stay with them, or a friend up there who I've actually been hoping to meet.
I'm sorry Miku, I will never be late or miss another concert of yours if it's close enough...
>>15254136
Protip: Miku, IA, Gumi, Rin, and Len tend to be high pitched as fuck in a lot of songs, it's sometimes unbearable. But there are some examples where they are not.
Listen to some VOCAJAZZ, Vocaloid Rnb, some Vocahouse etc. and avoid denpa, j-core akibapop and a lot of Jpop as high pitched is usually dragged to hell and back.
I think the project diva series is full of high pitched stuff, so approach with caution.
Also, male vocaloids, they exist! Especially ones that aren't crypton!
Here are some recommendations:

Man $1000 is a lot. I was thinking I could possibly land in NY the 27th, hit the concert, then fly out the night of the 28th, but I don't know how much plane tickets are. I could do it if it was like, $500 I guess, but hotels in NYC are probably ridiculous.
>>15252271
Agitation. Because nagimiso's art style is myaesthetic
>>15254445
Do airbnb, found a place close to manhattan that is $50 per night.
I'm at 6.4k various vocaloid/doujin albums
all with cover art
I might hit 7.5k by the end of the year
>>15254344
Should've booked sooner but I heard there are some website where you can try to get a last minute bargain. I managed to score a hostel for $65 a night and it's 4 blocks away from the Hammerstein Ballroom / Manhattan Center. Take a look at Airbnb too. Good luck!
>>15254467
Jesus how many TB is that? Did you listen to all of them?
>>15254513
Well, I would honestly say I've "properly" listened to about 83% of it. Meaning more than once of course. Just accumulated quickly over the years lack of better hobbies, friendships or romance.
Only have 14% in lossless, because most of it is lossy vocaloid, random doujin, or other.
It's surprisingly only 732GB.
>>15254457
I'll have to Google that. I'm not much of a traveler.
What are some good engrish miku songs?
>>15254228
I honestly thought the concert was going to be mediocre because of the youtube videos. And now here I am dropping another $200 on random Vocaloid merchandise because I want Miku back in California asap.
Speaking of which, do you think CFM checks pre-orders and sales of overseas countries to determine where to host a show? I know they used Mikubook before they shut it down.

>I honestly thought the concert was going to be mediocre because of the youtube videos.
I can't even watch the youtube videos anymore after seeing it live. It's just not the same. Ten Thousand Stars for example was so thunderous live and that kind of thing just can't be captured on video.
Would it be better to try to go to New York for the morning show or the night?

>>15254834
39 is also just on an entirely different level live.
>>15254041
When i was in line for merch they allowed for credit cards. I went after the show so maybe before was different
>>15254922
To be honest I don't know what was going on. I was waiting in line at the left merchant table after the show ended and all of a sudden one of the women working the table just announced cash only. Maybe she meant for the middle lines or the whole thing. NRG Arena staff seemed kind of in disarray throughout the event. I read there was some kind of fuck up involving the VIPs and early access ticket holders and there was some staffer crying out front near the GA lines. The show itself was great in the end and that's all that matters though.
>>15254901
The fact I actually enjoyed Sharing the World and didn't suffer PTSD from the Letterman Show truly displays the power of Miku live.
>>15254986
Letterman was fun watching with anons, though.
Fuckin' Willie Nelson's tour bus
>>15255003
No, it was horrible.
>>15254344
>>15254574
Use tripadvisor to be careful. I'm glad someone told me about the website before I reserved a hotel room for one because I almost wound up in a "hostel" that's more or less a bunch of storage closets with beds and another that's directly above a gay nightclub with three roommates.
>>15255010
I enjoyed watching confused anons on the /a/ thread.
They did make fun of Miku but hey, it's their loss not mine.
You have to grow a backbone and not get easily offended by what other people/anons say.
>>15255040
Sounds perfect for /jp/
>>15254986
Would you have booked a different song for Miku at Letterman /jp/?
>>15255046
The song choice was bad, the venue was bad, everything was bad.
If they had just done something fun like kocchi muite baby, or something like it, and done it on Conan instead of letterman, it would have been viewed much more positively.
>>15255134
Again, who cares what normies think?
Putting her on Letterman, a show that has an older audience, having her sing in English, (granted it was not understandable at all, so the old folks probably thought it was Japanese anyways), brought news coverage to Miku. More coverage, more people learning about Miku, slowly bringing in more casual fans.
Any exposure whether it's good or bad is a basic marketing move almost every celebrity uses. People comment, bring more views, the cycle goes on and on.
>>15255134
Yeah no clue why they picked Letterman, but the song made sense because the whole NA tour is kind of pushing these English songs to appease the gaijin. Blue Star probably would have been better
>>15255149
>who cares what Normies think
Then why do letterman?
There's dozens of better options for getting more applicable exposure.
>>15255130
Need a light rock/jazz song that's in English and doesn't get too sharp/shrill so I don't know if there's any way to win. Story Rider was played live right? Maybe it could have worked.
>>15255150
You don't "pick" Letterman. The Late Show picks you.
>>15255232
Also if you want to think of something crazy think about the fact that Miku made her live American TV debut in the same location the Beatles made their US debut.
Thanks again to the anon who shared Noise by Mijipin. Listening to Artemis and having a very chill evening.
>>15255232
