Hatsune Miku Live in Malaysia!

Hatsune Miku fans were treated to a first-time ever live concert of the virtual singer at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur on 16th December 2017. With exciting opening acts by Malaysian superstar, Zizan Razak and upcoming YouTube star, Chaleeda Gilbert, Miku fans were given twice the treat. This highly anticipated concert was also streamed live globally for free on Tamago, Southeast Asia’s newest social live streaming app.

Since Astro official announcement about the concert in September, we’ve seen overwhelming response and support from “superfans” the teal-haired 16-year-old cyber celebrity from Japan. Hatsune Miku who has collaborated with Pharrell Williams and supported Lady Gaga on her ArtRave tour has 2.5 million fans globally and 80,000 loyalists in Malaysia.

“This year Hatsune Miku reached her 10th anniversary. Over these 10 years, she sang hundreds of thousands of songs, was featured in millions of illustrations, and entertained us in many ways. This was all made possible by the contribution of the millions of creators who have been supporting Hatsune Miku. The Hatsune Miku Expo events were designed to present, in addition to live concerts, works by different creators, and we hope it can be an opportunity for anyone to enter the “chain of creation” around Hatsune Miku. Please make the most of this first and last Miku Expo of the year!”
