in case anyone is curious as to what's going on w/ miku expo so far, I wrote a summary!

Miku expo 2024 is off to a truly awful start but I haven't seen any posts on here detailing the mess. So here we go, here's what's happened so far.

I will be linking some posts and threads from Twitter and will update this post as need be.

🎵 First up, ticket presales.

This year the expo was sponsored by Crunchyroll and ticket presales were only supposed to be available to those that had a Crunchyroll subscription. Those that qualified were emailed a link to presale. However, when that link was inevitably leaked to the public, it turned out anyone could buy presales because it wasn't a one-time link or linked in any way to verify your subscription

Additionally, VIP tickets are supposed to give the holder early access to the venue and merch tables, but I'm hearing that this is not being honored.

🎵 Merch

Higher prices and lower stock than usual. This is especially frustrating for the lightstick.

The only lightsticks that are allowed inside these venues are ones made for the event or ones from past vocaloid concerts. This is because other lightsticks are too bright and will reflect on the hologram screen. But what with the stocks being so low, many people can't even get these lightsticks.

🎵 so about that screen

The biggest news to come out about Miku expo 2024 is that they arent using the hologram screen. The Vancouver and Portland concerts have used an LED screen.

This was neither advertised nor communicated from CFM or Crunchyroll to the public.

This also makes the prohibiting of outside lightsticks redundant, as they won't interfere with an LED screen.

An LED screen is much cheaper to use than the transparent screen used for the holograms. And a lot of folks are pointing out the discrepancies between this and the higher ticket and merch prices.

The LED screen is also a lot more noticeable and out of place, it hasn't been blended well on the stage so far. Views from further back and the sides are not looking great.

The Miku Expo team have stated that the used of the LED screen for Vancouver is for official filming. However, they have continued to use the screen for the Portland show and many people are uneasy.

Fans are speculating that the reason the Miku Expo team have prohibited photos and videos at this year's expo is to hide the fact that an LED screen is being used for multiple concerts.

🎵 the doujin goods incident at Vancouver

Please refer to this thread for the full info, but here is a summary:

The Miku Expo team refused to let a fan distribute free doujin goods despite this fan getting prior permission from CFM to do so. An individual also took this fan's miku cutout, though I believe it was returned later.

🎵 there is still a live band

I figured I'd clear this up since I've seen some mild miscommunication on it. There is a live band, just not the usual band they have for Miku concerts. This is not at all an issue, and in fact I've heard nothing but good things about the live band. I figured I'd bring it up for information's sake.

Honestly, kudos to them killing it on stage in the midst of the mess.

🎼Concluding notes

It's been 6 years since Miku expo has come overseas. The 2020 tour was cancelled due to covid and Miku expo 2024 is it's 10th anniversary. This was supposed to be a big deal, a huge comeback tour for NA!!

However, due to absolute abysmal planning on Crunchyroll and CFM's parts, Miku expo has been a massive disappointment for many fans so far.

I know I'm nervous for when I go in May, but I want to try and end this on a more positive note.

Vocaloid has, first and foremost, always been about the music and the community. It's undeniable that we as fans have been mistreated by CFM and Crunchyroll here This is not the concert tour we deserve, but I'm sure we can still find things to enjoy.

Hearing vocaloid songs live has always been a dream of mine, and for the first time in my life I'll be surrounded in person by folks who love vocaloid as much as I do. I couldn't even fathom being in this situation back in the early days of vocaloid, being a little kid listening to Melt and World is Mine for the very first time.

I'm absolutely still angry about how the expo has been handled, but I still want to enjoy what I can, being with folks who share that same passion.

There are plenty of fans on twitter detailing the fun time they had at the shows so far. If you do end up going, you can absolutely still have fun too!!

your miku designs are really cute- those project diva versions were... not as good as they could have been. i think. this isn't a criticism so much as a thought i had- to me, the DIVA miku looks more like she's tennis-themed than cheer. also, bless you for those color palettes. i know it was a different time back then, but ew

Thanks! There were definitely elements I liked in the originals (I love when they change up miku's hair style, length and color) but ultimately they weren't executed together very well imo OTL

I can totally see what you mean w/ the tennis look! That would be a cool direction to take it in. And it would distinguish Cheer a bit more from Cheerful Miku (also another cheerleader miku)

Heh, I'm not the biggest fan of super saturated colors tbh. And Mega Mix's toon filter hurts my eyes if I play for too long. I think it made a lot of modules look worse.

redesigned some project diva modules i don't really like 😅

-went for a more american competitive cheer look for Cheer Miku -idk I dont like how busy the original is imo -alt cheer:

-luv u sasakure.uk but idk what is going on here w/ hello world im sorry -also very busy design -tried to give her the look of an android in a post-apocalyptic world, giving her those robotic markings on her arms and having this device she carries around -pants miku > -green haired miku >

-pink pops my beloathed. this might just be my least favorite module of them all -and it was the hardest to figure out a redesign for -but also the redesign i ended up loving the most -all the elements in the og…do not make a single ounce of sense to me. the buttons? with the cowboy boots? and the ugly ass pink top with matching arm-length gloves? the shorts that are gonna give miku a massive wedgie if she moves even an inch? eugh… -anyways I ended up taking the cowboy boots and buttons are rolling w/ them. becos as much as I dislike the originals, the point of this was to challenge myself to make something good out of things I disliked. -so I ended up w/ a little sewing-themed cowboy miku! -her hair is yarn and her lasso is a tape measure -she's giving Barbie but i love that for her
