Japan, You Cray-Cray: Japanese Go Nuts For Hatsune Miku, 3-D Holographic Musician
This is a video of a Hatsune Miku concert in Japan. Only thing is, Hatsune Miku isn't a real person. Or even a robot like you'd expect from Japan. Nope, she's a 3-D hologram. Pfft, Jem did it 20 years ago.
Hatsune Miku is a rising star in Japan and abroad, singing catchy J-pop that matches her blue-green hair. She's also a virtual avatar created by Crypton Media using Yamaha's Vocaloid voice synthesizer. That hasn't stopped her from amassing a legion of fans who really love her work. I mean really love it. Check out the crowd frantically waving glow-sticks and singing along...
THANKS A LOT, JAMES CAMERON! This is all your fault somehow, I know it. We don't even have real people entertaining us anymore, just a bunch of fake-ass people with blue titties and a bad case of pony-tail worms. No thanks! I'll take a talentless Britney Spears/Miley Cyrus/Katy Perry/Ke$ha over a 3-D hologram any day. Just kidding, all those chicks can go die. No skin off my wiener!
Hit the jump for three videos of the depressing future of music.

If you're anything like me, you're all alone in the world. Zero real friends. Hell, I don't even talk to a single other person all day except the barista at Starbucks and even she doesn't like me because I farted in line once and customers complained. Enter Client Partners, ... / Continue →

'Watching Cute Girl' is a depressing Japanese iPhone app that features a girl in over 180 pre-recorded videos where she just stares at you and says sweet things that nobody else ever will. It really makes me sad people use things like this instead of signing up for one of thos... / Continue →

This is a sad video of two guys racing across the country from San Francisco to New York entirely in Google Street View (presumably because neither has a license). How long does it take? Try 90 hours and 104,000 clicks. Thank God they sped up the video, amirite?! I'm not, I... / Continue →
