This makes the Miku Expo both one of the longest concert setlists and one of the fastest moving shows I have experienced.
While 27 songs almost sounds like too many, it's worth mentioning that a majority of songs are about 3 to 4 minutes long. The main reason is because this show was just a hair under 2 hours and had a whooping 27 songs. When I look back at the show as a whole, it is difficult to pick a specific highlight to summarize the experience. Out of the live concert albums I have listened to from the previous Miku Expos and the live Blu-Ray I own, I would say this is probably my favorite Hatsune Miku setlist I have seen. The only difference is there's a hologram in the middle of the stage and the singing was prearranged out of somebody's bedroom or studio with a program halfway across the world. There is a band playing music, they occasionally reference the city they are playing in, there is a section two-thirds through where the band members are introduced by doing a wicked cool solo, and there is even a fake encore I wish all bands and artists would stop doing forever. So, what is a Hatsune Miku concert? Well it's pretty much just like any other concert. You know the music is played by those specific musicians. The concerts typically begin with a loading screen, the Vocaloids are digitized in and out of the stage, and the band members are clearly on stage next to her. It's also worth mentioning that at the Miku Expo nobody is pretending that Hatsune Miku is a real thing. They don't have to pull off being a good J-Pop band they have to work together as a good rock/pop/electronic/etc. By the way, it's actually kind of amazing that those four people have to cover all of those different styles of songs back to back. There is a real, flesh and blood guitarist, drummer, bassist, and keyboardist playing a vast majority of the songs people hear. While that is true to an extent with the Vocaloids, the actual music is played by a live band. Because of this, I can imagine somebody thinking that attending a Hatsune Miku concert is the equivalent of watching a recording or movie. Also, yes, there is a hologram in the middle of the stage that shows the digital idols singing and dancing. The singing is still from the synethic voice of the Vocaloids, which sounds identical to the original songs. The two main components of the show are, 1) The Vocaloids, and 2) The band. Since this is Giant Bomb Dot Com, a website about anime and wrestling, I don't think I actually need to talk about what this thing is, but I'll describe it briefly for the record, for those who haven't seen anything like this before.
