Members ChristianRock Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 Apparently, the future for Japanese Entertainment is holograms "playing" concerts (with synthesized vocals getting better and better, that had to be the next thing). I wonder how long until holograms play the instruments as well? DTXO7KGHtjI Before anyone sneers, they have this, but we have our own "artificially" created pop stars as well - autotuned voices from people who couldn't otherwise know a note if it hit them upon their heads Here is her profile...

Members Metrosonus Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 I dated her..nice girl but lots of baggage. Actually I see nothing wrong with that. It's refreshing to know that your pop idol is sponsored by nakotomi consolidated industrial concern rather than BS hype and guerrilla marketing we do here.

Members Citizen Klaus Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 Old news. This concert actually took place back in March, and was released on Blu-Ray and DVD in September. Incidentally, I'm currently writing my Master's thesis on the whole Vocaloid phenomenon, of which this concert is a part. There are some fascinating interactions here between the fan community and the corporate media world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Purity_Control Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 I think i might have to concede that vocaloid has ended up being the more useable option for synthesised lyrics than cantor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metrosonus Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 they're different genres though... right? I mean with cantor you could maybe translate that to death metal ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wwwjd Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 Yes, sir, it most definitely is. Excellent! I wrote a song 20 years ago visualizing the stage performance to have 8 clone holograms of the lead singer... now it could REALLY happen!! Finally!!!

Members greaseenvelope Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 This is kind of prurient, but I have to know. When all those fans look up her little virtuoid mini-skirt, like we all know they will, do they get "fan-service" panty shots like in most anime, or is it just a dark or bright light in space? BTW this was predicted in the series Macross Plus, although they thought it would happen much later (after we conquered space etc..), and that it was going to look much cooler: [YOUTUBE]uKcud4Qs4_U[/YOUTUBE] Sharon AppleSharon Apple is an artificial idol. She exists as a computer which produces a hologram. While her producers say that she has an artificial intelligence that includes emotional programming, it is later revealed that this programming is incomplete and her emotions are provided by Myung Fang Lone. In public, Sharon appears as a black box, with a red optical sensor for a 'face'. [28]Myung Fang Lone masquerades as Sharon's producer, and during the concerts she is connected to Apple's system to create the unique music that has swept the galaxy. However, the lead scientist on the project, Marge Gueldoa, goes against the wishes of others on the project and implants an illegal chip into her system. This chip makes Apple an artificial lifeform complete with sentience and emotion.Because of the close connection with Myung, Apple becomes intrigued by Myung's childhood friends, the test pilots Isamu Alva Dyson and Guld Goa Bowman. Apple causes a fire, and warns the two of the danger to see how they react.When Gueldoa takes Apple to earth for a concert in Macross City, she begins a plan to take over the city by hacking into the Macross and a new experimental X-9 Ghost drone ship. Isamu and Guld both arrive to stop her. During the course of the battle, she traps Myung and reveals her plan to show her love for Isamu by giving him the ultimate thrill that he has been looking for. Her plan is to kill him, and she uses the defenses of the Macross as well as her own hypnotic powers.Guld is killed in the battle, and through the efforts of Myung and Isamu, Apple is defeated and destroyed.

When all those fans look up her little virtuoid mini-skirt, like we all know they will, do they get "fan-service" panty shots like in most anime, or is it just a dark or bright light in space? The concert didn't work that way. The news wire reports are greatly misleading -- as far as I know, no holographic technology was involved. The character was actually just projected (using a high-output, but otherwise ordinary, digital projector) up onto a flat, partially-transparent screen. On the concert Blu-Ray release, you can clearly see the screen from certain camera angles. As the viewing position gets farther off-axis, the singer's image just distorts, same as any other projection. Put simply, anyone who tried to "peep" would see nothing that anyone else couldn't -- which is to say, nothing at all. It's also worth noting that this was definately not a mainstream event -- the concert was attended by approximately 5000 hard-core fans, and was basically a promotional stunt for Sega's new video game featuring the character.

Members tim gueguen Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 Aw, I wanted to mention Kraftwerk. In any case they were thinking about doing this kind of thing at the end of the 1970s, sending robots on tour instead of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
