I am not actually in favor of this as a trend, but it was interesting enough I figured I should mention it. When they do the Mikunopolis concert starring my favorite Virtual Idol being held this weekend at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, the folks at NicoNico Douga will stream it live. Why am I, a serious Hatsune Miku fan, not thrilled? According to the folks at Crunchyroll, they will be selling tickets to get the live stream for 1500 yen (around $18) each. Of course, the concert is completely sold out, so even if I was on the left coast I couldn’t get in, and they have added some more Vocaloid singers to the lineup (and Danny Choo will be the MC). I’m going to have to think about this one…
