Feel free to make suggestions on other guests. Even though our budget might not allow us to have some certain guests this year, we will still try out best to get them over. It may not be this year but one day we will be able to get certain guests to perform or attend our convention. You will have 4 votes and you can always change your selection.

Wait. I don't get the Miku vote. So are we going to have that huge hologram concert thing or are we just going to have Saki Fujita come as Miku?

Isn't it amazing that a computer is listed as one of the choices...and is doing rather well?

LOL well, America did, apparently, manage to get a hologram Vocaloid concert going on in ... California? I believe sometime this year...
Plus, they had an American commercial of Toyota FEATURING Miku throughout the whole thing.

You're correct, they just had a concert at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles during Anime Expo 2011, I was there and it was quite amazing of how many people went there just to see her perform, the band that performs with her are quite awsome as well because they have to make sure they don't play too fast or slow, or else her singing would be off sync with the music.

Anime Expo sold out her concert tickets on their website within a week or two after the concert was announced, I heard they sold 3100~3500 seats, and begged the company doing the concert to open more seats, which they got 200 more seats (the theatre have 7100 seats but they don't open all for the reason that at some angles you just can't see her, plus if you sit too far away that destroy the point of wanting to see her.), they ended up selling 200 more tickets for $40 USD each, where as ones that bought them online said only $15 USD.

Some attendees who couldn't get the ticket in the end was standing outside the theatre with paper signs that says something like "Buying Miku concert ticket, will pay will", and someone was joking that she'll sell it for $100 or $200, they were still willing to pay, which of course got their hopes shot down =\ (Not good to be joking on such a thing when they are desperate)

Funny thing is, my friends' grandfather (who's a rich Taiwanese that lives in Japan...) got ten tickets to the first Vocaloid concert for free. How? I have no clue.
He sent the tickets to my friend along with ten airplane tickets (the go to and come back ones). My friend invited me to go so I went. We had no clue how.. err... for a lack of better term, huge the holograms were. Let's just say while everyone in the crowds' faces were saying the expression "I AM SO HAPPY I GOT TO COME HERE. THIS IS THE BEST"... Us foreigners faces were .
I was expecting a normal sized Miku and probably a loli/shota sized Kagamine twins but... yea....

I would pay $200 to go to a Nico Nico Singers concert. No joke. My friend in Taiwan (who attended that concert in Taiwan) got so many autographs. D:

The first concert!? The "39's thanks giving day" concert in Japan!? I watched that concert's video on my PC and the energy was so high throughout the whole concert, unlike the one in LA, not everyone was standing and cheering -.-;;

Yea. It was squishy too. I think my friends and I were the only ones who felt --for a lack of better term-- squashed between the people and that pole guard thing. It was like a human sandwich. But yea, after we got over our initial shock, it was fun. Everyone was singing along too.

I'm sure the people in LA enjoyed it. They just probably couldn't get over the shock that Miku actually went to the U.S. to have a concert. :D
