November 10 = Japanese pop star Hatsune Miku takes the stage -- as a 3-D hologram

Article: Misc. 
 

Comment from Understand the Times:
 
"And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed".
- Revelation 13:15
 
Pop princess Hatsune Miku is storming the music scene.With her long cerulean pigtails and her part-schoolgirl, part-spy outfit, she's easy on the eyes. Yes, her voice sounds like it might have gone through a little -- OK, a lot -- of studio magic.
 
And, like many of her hot young singer peers, Miku is extremely, proudly fake. Like, 3-D hologram fake.Miku is a singing, digital avatar created by Crypton Future Media that customers can purchase and then program to perform any song on a computer.

Crypton uses voices recorded by actors and runs them through Yamaha Corp.'s Vocaloid software -- marketed as "a singer in a box." The result: A synthesized songstress that sounds far better than you ever have in your shower. 

A few months ago, a 3-D projection of Miku pranced around several stadium stages as part of a concert tour, where capacity crowds waved their glow sticks and sang along.  Here's the starlet performing a jingle titled, appropriately, "World Is Mine."

The virtual diva's albums have also topped the Japanese charts. She's on Facebook. We've seen living, breathing musicians at the Hollywood Bowl get less love.
