allkpop



First they gave you Kalafina as musical guest this summer, now the anime convention, Anime Expo is giving you another hot hit in Japan as it's been announced Hatsune Miku as the second musical Guest of Honor.

While the virtual star recently made her debut in America by appearing in Toyota's CM, the digital character will come to stage as well. The digital diva will perform live in 3D, at the Nokia Theater on July 2nd.

The Anime Expo concert will be based on �39�s Giving Day�, the first-ever solo concert by Hatsune Miku held in Japan on March 9, 2010, which was heralded by various media outlets worldwide. Visuals for the July 2 concert are created by SEGA with Crypton Future Media supervising overall production.

Anime Expo Chairman and CEO of the SPJA, Marc Perez said, �Fans in North America have been clamoring for Miku to perform here and we have listened... we�re extremely excited to be able to present this 21st Century star at Anime Expo in what promises to be an unforgettable experience for all.�

While some may be wondering why would anyone want to bring or even see a digital idol in concert (to America), the Vocaloid star has been known to sell out huge concerts in Japan and has a huge following amongst fans in the J-Pop culture stateside.

Anime Expo is held at the L.A. Convention Center on July 1st-4th.
