The Hatsune Miku Expo 2024 North American tour is under fire for putting the virtual pop star on a TV screen over the traditional hologram experience.
On Thursday, April 4, the Hatsune Miku Expo 2024 North American concert tour rolled out at the Thunderbird Arena in Vancouver, Canada. However, longtime Hatsune Miku fans expecting the traditional hologram experience were presented with an underwhelming TV screen presentation instead.
On social media, Miku Expo 2024 attendees are airing out their grievances over the mishandling of what should have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Vocaloid concert performances of Hatsune Miku deploy an optical illusion technique known as a Pepper's Ghost trick to make it appear as if the virtual pop star is performing live on stage. For reasons currently unknown, the North American tour discarded the Pepper's Ghost technique in favor of a plain LED TV. The results, as disappointed attendees have fiercely noted, are not the same. A TikTok video humorously comparing the traditional hologram performance of Hatsune Miku vs. her TV performance has gone viral.
