The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will host a new holographic performer this year — but it won’t be Tupac, or any other deceased musician. On Thursday night, Japanese holographic performer Hatsune Miku was announced as part of the festival’s 2020 lineup, scheduled to perform April 10th on Weekend 1 and April 17th on Weekend 2.
To Western audiences unfamiliar with Hatsune Miku or her uninterrupted success in Japan — she’s routinely sold out arenas in the country for more than a decade — her origins can sound like something out of a sci-fi novel.

Fans have been waiting for this series for way too long. I’m still bummed that we have to continue to wait until 2017. and all I have to say is that season two better be worth the wait and the patience. The series was supposed to premiere this year, but it was postponed.

Well, this is … different — especially for David Letterman. Japanese anime “star” Hatsune Miku “performed” her hit “Sharing the World” on Wednesday night's “Late Show.” All those extraneous quotation marks come with very good reason: While Miku's band is made of very real human beings, the singer is a projected humanoid persona voiced by a synthesizer app. Developed by Crypton Future Media, Miku's voice was sampled from Japanese actress Saki Fujita. Together, they've now officially invaded America. See video: Jon Bernthal Reveals Why ‘Fury’ Director David Ayer Punched Him in the Face After the unusual performance on the CBS late-night show,...
