Miku Expo
Hatsune Miku Expo (stylized in all caps) is a series of world tours organized by Crypton Future Media starring the virtual singing software character Hatsune Miku. The performances include notable user-created Vocaloid songs and digital choreography of Miku dancing, projected onto glass screens. The pre-recorded Miku vocals are backed by a live instrumental band. The tour started on May 28, 2014, in Jakarta, Indonesia, with new shows added every year, with the exception of 2021, 2022 and 2023 where Hatsune Miku-related events were held virtually and livestreamed on platforms such as Twitch, YouTube and Niconico. In-person Miku Expo shows were resumed on April 4, 2024, in Vancouver, Canada. As of 2024, the tour consisted of 82 shows spanning the continents of Asia, North America, Europe and Oceania. The largest attendance for a Miku Expo performance was over 8,000 at Wembley Arena in London for the Europe 2024 tour.
The latest show, and the last show of Miku Expo 2025, was set on November 30, 2025, in Seoul, South Korea. The latest scheduled tour is Miku Expo 2026, scheduled from April 12 to May 19 in North America and from November 12 to 27 in Europe.
Miku Expo concerts feature Hatsune Miku performing original songs created by fans. Miku's pre-recorded synthesized vocals are backed by a four-piece rock band consisting of a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer and a keyboardist. Alongside Miku, the rest of the Vocaloid characters created by Crypton Future Media – Kagamine Rin & Len, Megurine Luka, Meiko and Kaito – perform on stage. Computer-animated images of the characters dancing are projected onto transparent glass screens to produce a hologram-like illusion. In the 2024 tours, an LED screen was used instead.
The graphics for the shows are created by Sega and Marza Animation Planet. For the 2024 tours, Marza was responsibe for partial production of character modelling, character set-up and animation. The dancing is originally performed by humans and transferred to 3D models using motion and light reflection capture.
The first Hatsune Miku Expo Song Contest was held from August 26 to October 19, 2015, leading up to the Miku Expo 2016 tour. The contest for original songs featuring Hatsune Miku vocals was open internationally and gathered submissions though SoundCloud. A trial version of Hatsune Miku V3 English was released alongside the contest. The winning song, selected by Crypton staff, was to be performed live at Miku Expo concerts. The grand prize winner, "Ten Thousand Stars", an electronic dance music track produced by CircusP, was announced on November 26. Circus tuned the Miku English vocals to a middle ground between robotic and human-sounding, sacrificing machine perfection for a sense of humanity. A pre-recorded version of the song, backed by a live band, was performed on all concerts in the 2016 tour.
A similar contest was held for Miku Expo 2018 USA & Mexico, from December 27, 2017, to January 31, 2018. This time allowing vocals by all six Vocaloid characters created by Crypton. The winning entry was "Can't Make A Song!!" by Beat_shobon, featuring Miku singing in English. The song was performed during the 2018 USA & Mexico tour (but not during the Europe tour later that year).
The 5th anniversary of Miku Expo saw the song contest returning to its roots, allowing only Hatsune Miku vocals. The contest was held from September 27 to October 31, 2019, having the winning entry be performed live at Miku Expo 2020 Europe. The winning song was "MikuFiesta", a salsa produced by AlexTrip Sands, featuring vocals in Spanish.
The first Miku Expo was held in 2014 in Jakarta, Indonesia and in the United States, specifically in Los Angeles and New York City. The theme song for the tour was "Sharing The World", produced by Bighead.
