Mikunopolis Concert Los Angeles Tickets
Some are still missing as “secret guests” arrive. Guys, TICKETS ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE and you need to register before June 24th:To purchase your ticket you need first to register on the AX website to attend the convention, if you select only one day pick Saturday. Then you will have the option to purchase also a ticket for Miku's concert.So if you're just going to see the concert, cost will be $50 for one day attendance plus $15 for concert ticket (I already bough my ticket and but am almost sure I won't be able to change my agenda to attend:S). So, so happy with this news and so happy that I am pretty sure I will be there now.To some of the fellow comments: Let me say once more that there is no reason to be bitter about Miku's success. Some may disagree but I really believe that if she hadn't been a smash hit success almost none of here amazing successors, made both by Crypton and the other companies would most likely never come to be.
People keep saying they want to see the other Vocaloids in concert, we the most likely way for that to happen is for Miku (and probably Luka, Rin, and Len) to have great support at a concert like this. It would be a strong sign that the world wants more of these events.
And I sincerely hope that comes to pass, because seeing Gumi sing Mosaic Role or Yowamubushi Montblanc in concert would be awesome! 'Also, the band-line up will be the same as the 39′s Giving day concert.' So we'll have Enthusiastic Drum Guy and all of the other awesome people! And that means that Hatsune Miku will probably introduce them on stage like she did at that concert, too!'
Anime News Network announced that there will be new music numbers and costumes for this. Oh, and there's some travel deal for the Japanese to come over to LA to watch it. Bunny, could you Update the article with the following (very important) information:ASCII.jp is reporting a conference done by Itoh and Tokyo Kawaii Mag.They provided some glimpse about the model used (better than Kanshasai but no as good as Mikupa IMO) but more importantly are speaking about the seating: IN order to guarantee a good viewing experience only 3500 of the 7100 seats were available, but know they are trying to see if the upper (balcony) floor of the Nokia Theater could be used. This may be of interest for all the people having missed their opportunity to get their tickets. Nitpicking, but actually Zepp Tokyo do have a balcony with seats and it was used for Mikupa and Kanshasai, it's just that it is smaller and most of the space is standup below.
In the case of the Nokia theater, there's two levels above (loge and mezzanine) and they host almost as much seats as the main (orchestra) area. Still it's unclear if they're not already used partially and instead CFM/AX decided to not use the seats on the side of the Orchestra zone or just did not use the seats in the loge and Mezzanine. According to the AX staff it seems difficult to change the booking of the place, so there may be more complexity in making these seats available than only the concerns of the view angle.
Funny thing is, the 39's givings day graphics WERE video game graphics (Project Diva: Dreamy Theater). Anyways, I say we should go with the models that they used for Kocchi Muite Baby (the opening for PJD2nd). Those look way more realistic, and Miku doesn't have the 'umbrella-hips' syndrome. Plus, her eyes actually turn instead of blankly staring forward, you can see her teeth, and she doesn't look like she's lip-syncing. IMO, it's the best of both the DT and Mikupa models.
I agree with you about the hair physics. Samuel, what do you mean by 'PDA'?
Actually the CGI was done by Marza Animation (the guys who did the Kocchi Muite original PV for PD2) and guess what, they're part of SEGA 😛Now I completely agree that they did a sloppy job on Luka's hair (lack of time/budget?) but on the opposite Miku's hair animation was so much better than on the Kanshasai PDA models Also that's the guys who did all the original animation and interaction for the Mikupa concert. You have noticed that Kanshasai choreography is nothing more than the PD2 dance moves with very few public interaction right?
Tenshi Miku and all the effects (tear, rainbows, etc.) were great ideas! If we have a virtual singer why should we limit her to the scene performance of flesh and blood singer? Let's be creative, like they did at Mikupa. The P's are creative with Miku's voice (Miku no Shoushitsu damn!) why would the concert organizers shouldn't?I think we need to take appart the fail of 5pb on Mikupa regarding org and camera management and the great job of Marza and recognize when something is better to keep it. What I'm hearing is this: they were only selling 3500 tickets (not 7100 which would be all the seats at the NOKIA theater) because that's the amount of people you can have in there and still have the hologram effect look good. Now because the tickets are sold out and there has been an outcry about it, the AX peeps are considering opening the balcony, but the Sega/Crypton/concert set-up peeps don't want to do that because they'd rather less people get a great show than more people get a lesser show.HonestlyIf the balcony seat aren't good enough to view the Vocaloids in all their glory.I'm siding with the concert peeps on this.
Gw2 2000 gem card. Don't put on a not-as-good-as-it-could-be show. That will not be good for Vocaloid's reputation statewide.
And as it is now, the minimal amount of tickets leaves the public wanting more. In other words, more shows.Also, this is (supposedly) similar to the disagreement Sega had with 5pb over the blue-ray dvd that made Sega take its ball and go home. I do NOT want that to happen again. I LIKE the transparent screen and I love that America is getting a concert with it and that's Sega's ball.
Mikunopolis 2019
I did have a secondary source, but I kind of lost it 😛 sorry anyways, it just said that the SEGA JP wanted more time to work on the DVD/Bluray to make it the best quality possible, but 5pb 'had the final say', and said no. When the 39's givings day producer (head of SEGA JP) got his sample, he called it a.ty frisbee (according to the source) and said SEGA JP would never do another concert again (heh, which is untrue now, thankfully) because he didn't want his name associated with something so bad ironically, because now that company that starts with a number and ends with 2 letters is really the one who needs to apologize (and did) for quality issues (see: Mikupa).
