Hatsune Miku, the popular fictional singer voiced by a singing synthesizer application, has been performing in many concerts, including at Anime Expo 2011 and as an opening act for Lady Gaga. Now she’s going to be on national TV by performing on The Late Show with David Letterman on October 8th, according to Hatsune Miku Expo.

Miku will be performing a song while also showing off the 3D technology that makes it look like she’s actually performing on stage with live band members.

Now she’s going to be on national TV by performing on The Late Show with David Letterman on October 8th, according to Hatsune Miku Expo.

Miku will be performing a song while also showing off the 3D technology that makes it look like she’s actually performing on stage with live band members.

should be good promotion for SEGA even though they aren't technically part of this. should help raise awareness for Project Diva F 2nd.

Edit: well actually, SEGA IS technically involved. They created the CG models that are used at the Miku conferences.

This is by far the most awkward announcement I've heard of with this type of branding.

Announcer:
Featuring Special Guests *Famous Person*, *Famous Person*, *famous person*. Live performance by Hat-soon-y Mikoo.
