Hatsune Miku is undoubtedly one of the most important icons of geek culture, being that over the years she has set trends in all kinds of aspects, especially for delivering to the public some of the songs that became part of the great history of this culture. But now the renowned Vocaloid has been criticized, more precisely in her concerts, since in one of her presentations she appeared only on a flat screen, as opposed to how she always does in the form of a hologram, causing a strong rejection and criticism in social networks.
Crunchyroll is singled out for not being faithful to Hatsune Miku in concerts
Since the MikuExpo 2024 in North America, which is sponsored by the great Crunchyroll, had been a great event, but this changed when they used a TV something unacceptable for Hatsune Miku fans. This event has opened a gigantic discussion thread on the Twitter/X social network where complaints are pouring in, from the price of concert tickets to the lack of consideration for the public.
The comments range from dissatisfaction, disappointment to strong complaints to the company: “This is what we get when we support this kind of companies”, “They should be fair and offer a refund”, “This proves they don’t care about their audience”, “Would I have to sell my ticket, I hope it’s not every concert this happens”. Everyone agrees with the bad experience that this decision caused to everyone, others just point out that the price of tickets has gone up compared to last year.
Users add that if this is the case for the entire North American tour, they do not wish to attend these concerts. This may be exaggerated, as we mentioned, but knowing the wait for this event, which takes a long time in advance and every time there is a tour there are traditions, if you are interested in knowing about the MikuExpo you can see each of its details in this note of our page that delves into the subject. When something becomes a tradition, as is the holographic presentation of Vocaloids, in big events like this not offering what everyone expects is what turns out to be a disaster.
Taking some comments within the sea of opinions, apparently this is not the first time this has happened, offering us an image from 2016, where, as we see, there is a flat TV like attraction. Is it then not being something from this MikuExpo, Perhaps fans no longer desire in any way a Hatsune Miku that is not holographic. Some mention that with holographic projectors being so expensive, perhaps the company is trying to save some money.
One of the biggest disappointments from the public is that Crunchyroll, being such a big company these days, doesn’t understand what their audience wants, could it be that they listen to the complaints? If this is not new, it may be seen as the holographic format is no longer profitable. Just keep an eye out for updates on this beloved Vocaloid’s tour, whether holographic or TV or flat, it will always be exciting to see him.
Many are familiar with the beloved Hatsune Miku, a Vocaloid born in August 2007 as part of a new project aimed at creating synthesized voices that had more than just a protagonist, thus creating one of the most iconic characters in the moe world hailing from Japan. This Vocaloid has traveled the world, appeared in magazines, television, video games, and has emancipated to the point of being considered a goddess with a large and traditional fan club.
