MIKU EXPO 2026 NORTH AMERICA SETLIST THOUGHTS (and opinions) …

Btw I should say, I’m going to the Europe tour later this year and am somewhat trying to avoid footage and visual spoilers, as well as audio and what the renditions of the songs actually sound like, so I don’t know everything and my perspective might skewed. But here’s what I think of it, as someone who knows pretty much every song performed at a Miku Concert~ Sorry it took so long, I was also waiting for all the setlists to be revealed. Hidden below, for anyone trying to avoid spoilers!

before MIKUEXPO on the day of MIKUEXPO I was prattling about how I was absolutely going to be yelling LETS GO LESBIANS nonstop during gimme x gimme. my mum felt the need to say “okay, but please remember not to loudly shout that randomly while walking around london” which I thought wasn’t necessary because like I’m not THAT obsessed but now I realise maybe she said that because I was indeed prattling about this randomly while walking around london.

TYQOON: The Meiko song that should have been Blue

This one’s gotta be up there with arguably one of the stupidest, pickest and most unnecessary posts (I’ve) ever written buT ITS IMPORTANT TO ME.

The Meiko Song selected for Magical Mirai 2024 was a little tune called Tyqoon, a great pick for Meiko, pretty unique, especially because the MV was predominantly blue. I hoped this would translate into the lighting and visuals for the song in the concert, especially since the Kaito song, Call!!, could have also been red to make up for it (Miku’s solo in this album was also pink, and Luka’s song could have been any colour, so I was wondering if this was just a really cool Magical Mirai where all the colours swapped). When the concert happened there was a bit of red in Call’s performance, but not as much as there should have been imo (his eyes should have been red. that is evil kaito right there in that song). However, there was virtually NO blue in Tyqoon live.

Tbf, there’s Red at the end of the MV, so it didn’t have to be ALL blue… just.. more blue. Miku has proved many times that just the main lighting or visuals of the song can change the colour people use with their glow sticks. Meiko didn’t even need to wear blue for the song to immediately look more interesting. This feeds into my problem that I had with Meiko’s performance the year before, watashi no koi wa hellfire, which was…. Uncharacteristically jazzy? Almost refined somehow? It felt underplayed, I can’t remember a single nod to fire anywhere on any of the screens. Nearly all Meiko songs look and feel the same, they use typical Meiko colours and Meiko imagery. Ignoring how diverse she can be. I know shes represented by red, but TYQOON didn’t have to be ALL red, even if it’s a pretty short song.

I remember telling myself that if I ever saw TYQOON live, I’d hold up a blue glowstick regardless… this is of course because I believed that TYQOON would never be popular enough to play at any comcerts I could go to tho, unless they wanted to make a Roblox joke.

On that note, luckily there will always be more Miku concerts and more opportunities to revive these songs, amplified by the progressing technology we can see. There’s no way they’d take this song elsewhere when Hellfire would be a much better pick, right? Hellfire could even be fixed by putting fire with Meiko now using the LED screen! They have to play hellfire at miku expo, right?

Today marks a year since MIKU EXPOSED 2023 VR, the best vocaloid concert we had so far at the time. I’d like to take this time to go into just how special this concert was. There’s a very funny setlist review. I promise it’s funny.

MIKU EXPO 2023 VR: The concert that single-handedly saved MIKU EXPO.

It’s either that everyone disagrees with me or that people don’t realise, and I hope anyone else who agrees is happy to hear a voice come out and say it even after a year. I want its legacy to hold up.

Firstly, yes, it’s an online live. There are positives to that though, I’m pretty sure once the donation goal was reached they were always going to make it free to watch, and I think it’s a lot more accessible then a physical concert. That doesn’t beat the hype of one though, for a lot of people. But I know for me this was much less scary. I’m not saying I prefer online lives, I really don’t, but I want to preface how being online doesn’t inherently make a concert bad.

We were lead to believe this by 2021 online. That one was very bad. It had some good aspects but for the most part… I don’t even think I need to go into it there’s lots of reasons we all know this. I think I’m correct in saying they, interestingly, didn’t show how 2023 would be different from 2021, or even the miku with yous or miku galaxys, which some people also might have been expecting it to be like. I know they gave us some hints through the donation goals but I don’t think they were pictures or anything… imo they let it surprise you, but at the same time it’d be nice if they did make people care since then we would have hit all goals and miku would get to wear the adorable contest winning outfit.

And that brings me to plaything and imaginary love story. Beautiful outfits, even more beautiful figures, and bangers regardless. This is a very opinionated part of it so I can’t really talk but god I love these songs. (Jazz? Love to relatively unknown producers? Jazz? Fitting the theme perfectly? Jazz? Beautiful renditions in the concert? Is plaything even jazz? I really like plaything.)

And then for the not opinionated part. The models, the REAL models. And the quick realisation that every song there could actually be played LIVE live. Before I get to that I should also mention the staging. I’m not a VR nerd so I don’t know how cool this really was. But like, the setting is arguably cooler than the random stuff in miku galaxy, especially the second one with the sparkly rocks, and all the effects near the vocaloids themselves. Yet another positive to having on online live in this case, they managed to make it immersive in a different way. About the models again, I know people have differing opinions but they’re not the worst we’ve had, and I believe they look the best they ever have in this concert. And then the fact that EXPO 2024 would be A LOT WORSE without the songs from here. We all need to be extremely glad they did this. And each song was BETTER than in 2021 anyway! Like they’re good, but imagine if we had to deal with reload words live…

And that seduces me into yapping for hours and hours about something technically opinionated, but if you were to say it was mid I wouldn’t be the only one trying to ratio you. Also this is the point where it becomes mostly about me and my experience because I’m a narcissist, but It’s important to show even just one persons opinions on it. I love this concert too much to just not do anything today, and it’s not even my favourite vocaloid concert. I just don’t want people to forget about it, or be unaware of how influential it was.

THE SETLIST

In case you didn’t know, this concert was the live debut of every single song here, apart from one. Only one had been played before, and no one knew most of these were going to be played either. And if you missed it, they’re all already very easily going to be played in other actual live miku concerts, that’s basically confirmed, and it’s already happened with six of them.

OH BOY. WHERE DO WE BEGIN. MAYBE WITH KIKUO RIGHT OFF THE BAT?? I can’t I’m making fickung list i love this so much

FINALLY, KIKUO IN AN OFFICIAL VOCALOID LIVE. ITD BEEN SO LONG. ABD ITS NOT EVEN AN OLD OME WHIVH I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WHPULD OF PREFEREDNONOMO NO, I. WAS THERE. WHEN KNIFE KNIFE KNIKE CANE OUT AND I KNEW IT WOULDNT BE IMPORTANT TO LEARN IT BECAUSE THERES NO WAY KIKUO WOULD GET INTO ANYTHING AND IT WAS TOO BEEPY AND DIRTY AND SCRATCHY FOR ME. BUT IT WAS RECENT AND THERE MUST HAVE BEEN OTHER NOT EVEN KIKUO FANS WHO SAW PAST ITS DISTORTION. Oh those people and Kikubros… I can only imagine how it would have felt. I SWEAR THEY PICKED IT WITH THAT IN MIND I SWAER WHEN IT CAME OUT IT HAD EYES ON IT BRO IM SURE THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WHERE DOING. AND IT WORKED? THE RENDITION IS SO GOOD ITS BETTER? THEY TURNED IT OUTTTTTT I know he has tamer songs they could have picked, but they picked the violent, recent one. And god, miku served. She’s such a DIVA in that OMGGGGthe whole thing there was crazy. I don’t even know how or where they’d do it live live. (I do have my theories though) (that’s for another post) (I will milk miku concerts dry fudging farmer style idk)

Now for the first of the odd two out (you can easily guess the other one) acceleration. I liked this, a lot. I’ve thought it to be a way of showing off their effects and stuff and although you could call it boring and unknown it felt at place here, like the drag the ground of this expo. And I prefer this to drag the ground much more so there you go. It introduced a lot of people to a kinda ignored producer in a really good way. And when miku has that dance break!?!???!? I’ve fallen in love with this song and I really like to see it for a crowd. I know sone people wouldn’t like that, but I like how they let everyone learn it beforehand and it would be a nice tribute to this concert. Sorry I said predictions would be for another post I’ll try to shut up- AND THEN the speech isn’t important alr

SHIKATANAI NE RUURU DA MON? AHAHA? I LOVE WOMAN AAAAAAAAI was one of the fools who didn’t know this song beforehand! And like to preface this concert was my first time ever hearing the next seven songs! Yes, even that one! And they’ll all such bangers! That’s possibly a bias! Anyway I think I was planning to learn all the lead princess songs together and keep dr funk beat as an overall view of the series but NO. IT MIGHT JUS5 BE BECAUSE OF THE WOMAN, BUT THIS IS A LOT BETTER THEN DR FUNK BEAT. I DONT CARE IF HE HAS A COOL OUTFIT. ITS THOSE NOTES? THE SLIDING AAAAAA SOUND? THE SAXEPHONE??? I think it’s my favourite Meiko set ever. Such a good choice, now we have both of them I’m so happy. The fact that it’s quite old too? This wasn’t just for the lead princess fans, anyone in the fandom at that time probably knows and already loves this song. The tuning and the progression it’s it’s so good. It’s hard to focus on Meiko tearing it down because her voice is so enchanting and the goddam slamming banging jazz and the the banddd- I’m actually glad they didn’t play this at London because I would have… embarassed myself….

OH AND THSN KAITO COMES AMD WE REALLY DONT FREAKING CALM DOWN HUH IS THAT HOW IT IS HUH- Okay so. Literacy is an AMAZING song. I prefer it musically to wanderlast and the song I’m about the mention. But I was already high on Meiko and then Mr blue hair and pronouns comes in his big stupid coat and lanky tight pants and his DaijobuP/yume nikki event THE FACE face and he’s fecking falling over and he’s also drunk on meiko- I CANNOT take this performance seriously. AND ITS BEAUTIFUL. BUT GOD IT MESSES WITH MY HEAD- I get literacy can be silly it points like the cat cries and stuff BUT IS IT REALLY THAT SILLY\IS IT NOT A DIFFERENT KIND OF SILLY? IM PRETTY SURE THE LYRICS ARE EMO AND STUFFthis isn’t a complaint it was extremely funny. But. BUT. You know what would work? What’s THE SAME KIND of silly? What would EVEN MORE funny? Oh yeah and still feed the wotakids too? You know it come on. SHANTI. IMAGINE JUST IMAGINE. I don’t know why they didn’t I really don’t know why they didn’- are they saving it for magical mirai or something? Is it because of the lyrics? (I don’t know the lyrics) don’t you dare tell me it’s because it’s not typical for a miku concert when they just did knife knife knife come on- it’s more popular? AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FUNNIEST THING, CALL!! WOULDNT HAVE EVEN HAVE HIT SO HARD. I’ve even seen wotakids say they would have rather had shanti if it’s gotta be kaito. Though if it didn’t happen I wouldn’t have been introduced to literacy at all so I guess there’s that. And the the. The bit in the instrumental. DONT LIE YOU KNOW WHICH BIT IM TALKING ABOUT THAT LASTS LIKE FOUR SECONDS AND GOES HARDER THEN ME WHEN MEIKO YOU KNOOOWWWW. I even call it the reference to shanti, god. But yeah, silly man.

And then they get more silly. I LIKE MIDNIGHT SURF. THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED ON THE ROCKS CAN EAT A ROCK. actually that’s a lie I completely understand. BUT LIKE APPRECIATE SOMETHING THATS WHOLESOME ENOUGH TO FREELY BE SILLY. AT LEAST KAITO ISJT BANISHED TO A GUITAR OR A PIANO. no it doesn’t beat reality or on the rocks. But it does make me chuckle every time it comes on. And it’s the chill downtime we needed after those two bangers. Like kaito starts monologueing at some point and you didn’t even care. THE LITTLR JIG? THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACHOTHER? THE GAY HAND FLOP THEY DO THAT SO MUCH OMG? I’m pretty sure they again pulled it out of nowhere but it was a lot funnier then when they do that with luka sets. You’d like midnight surf if you cared 🙄 (joke)

And then we change to the cooler place woooooo! And it’s pretty abd we get more downtime because GOD we’re gonna need it. 1 + 1 is nice. It’s the other odd one out of course. Just another miku song that was here for sone reason? Not against it at all though. Nice to see doriko again. But it isn’t on Spotify. And like, who knows this song? And why? Id like it a lot more if I actually had change to listen to it but that’s nothing to do with this concert. I think it was pretty beautiful and mikus emotions were visible and such. Nice to see. I could really really like it. And its preps wanderlast well.

Ah and there it is, FOOD FOR THE SASAKURE FANS WOOOO AND THE OLD VOCALOID FANS TOO WOOOOOO. Yet another addition in “don’t tell me they can’t do shanti they just did this”. I didn’t know it was that old at the time of course so I didn’t fully realise how cool. And yes hearing wanderlast first is always an experience but I’ll get to that bit. I’d like to recognise that they shortened it, and I kinda liked it that way it felt like project diva 🫡. Glad they didn’t remove any singing or lyrics, it was a really good rendition. I was about to say this is the first new song they’ve shortened since playing prodiva renditions but I swear that isn’t true. I can’t pinpoint what song it is though. Tbh they might have done this with 1 + 1 too I have no way of knowing. So uh. Cute, nostalgic song right? I sure hope nothing bad happens. Wait why does she sound like that. Why is she sad what. Why does she OHHHHH GOD! . . . . AND AND WE JUST? HUH? MOVE ON OH ALRIGH- I can’t think of a single other song that just stops so bluntly in the middle of a line and ends. You could find me one, preferably vocaloid please. I feel like a fake fan. Yeah no, luka kept her not boring streak going huh. They just. They just did that. They didn’t even. … I LOVE IT! BANGER LUKA SET! ITS CUTE AND NOSTALGIC AND SHE LITERALLY DIES IN THE MIDDLE COMPLETELY ABRUPTLY ENDING THE SONG! ADORABLE! I LOVE WOMEN!

I’m not being sarcastic that was such an epic moment OH SJES BACK AND MIKUS HERE AWWW LESBOSNS OH OH OH WOAH UTSU IS THAT UTSU I HEAR YO OH NO OH OHHHHHHHHH WHATTTTTTTTTTTT THAT SCREAAAM????????! UTSU AND YUYOYUPE? THEY COLLABED??? THIS IS SICK LOOK AT THEM WHATTTTT OH MY GOD OH MY GOODNESS ME MY MO NO WHA - vivid is great. I’m not personally too into rock ballads or whatever you’d call this but it’s soooo good seeing these two together. So beautiful as a song on its own (like that second to last note in the bit before the final chorus? And then the ad-libs like a choir in the background there? Chills, so well crafted) the live rendition made it even more cinematic, the way they point and follow what eachother look at? Like since I’m not emotionally attached to it or don’t like the style or something it’s hard for me to appreciate it as well as I know possible, so the bit that stands out to me is the choreography. The emotions show and the way they mirror or don’t mirror- it’s just really nice to look at. Absolutely gorgeous, I love women.

But then.

THEN.

Now I did say I didn’t know any of the songs beforehand. THIS ONE THOUGH. I HAD HEARD SNIPPETS ENOUGH TO KNOW THE CHORUS OFF BY MY CHARRED ASH HEART.

AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS BIT YALL WERE RAVING ABOUT IN THE ANIMATION MEME COMMUNITY. OH WAS I IN FOR SOMETHING.

Salute to everyone who knew it before the name came up, but for the rest of us… I feel as if everyone watching shook by that one word we’d all forgotten:

KARMA

Do I even need to go into it beyond that?

I suppose it’s not just the song, the rendition and the effects and dance it was all FOCKING SICK. The way she mimes the match? I couldn’t. I still can’t. But yes, it is mostly the song itself. It could carry this whole concert but it didn’t even need to. This decision to put it there is why I’m making this post. And it only got better abd better as it progressed, as a person who was JUST hearing the song there and then. Oh and you know…

It was when she started talking. That’s when I knew THAT WAS THE MOMENT. AND THEN.

I don’t even need to go into it. Something changed in me that day.

THEY WILL PLAY THIS AT MIKU EXPO LIVE LIVE FOR AN AUDIENCE ONE DAY. THEY WILL. I KNOW IT. THERE’S NO REASON THEY WOULDNT. THEY WENT THROUGH ALL THE EFFORT. ITS IN BLOODY ENGLISH. WEVE GOT THE KAIMEI SETS. WEVE GOT VIVID. it’s just a matter of time…

and then

(Sorry there’s a lot of and then)

IT JUST GETS CRAZIER.

MR ‘ALL MY SETS ARE BETTER THEN MY SISTER’ WILL BE COMING. AND NO, HE COULDNT BEAT IT. IMO. BUT HE GOT PRETTY GODDAM CLOSE.

Before you murder me for not knowing ego rock, I uh, i purposely ignored it for a really long time because of an embarrassing experience I had with it, actually because I didn’t know the song abd didn’t want to know the song. I wanted to be cool and different or something. always one if those songs I immediately thought wasn’t for me, that I preferred older vocaloid and didn’t understand the hype around the new crazy stuff. I had a bad complex I was so weird about it. It’s like I decided not to and left it at that, believing fully that junky night town orchestra was the peak of that producer’s creation, kinda like dr funk beat huh. So yeah uh murder me BUT I HAVE CHANGED MY WAYS ID LIKE TO BE MUDERED ANYWAy BUT GOD THIS IS A GOOD SONG. I must have decided not to like it so much that I never made it past the intro, believe me if I did I’d be an ego rocker so goddam quickly. It’s probably my favourite 3 song now.

They rendition isnt that special iirc but I think I prefer it to the original (possibly because of what I just mentioned) (like I think there were some noises I didn’t like that were made less obvious. THE CRAZY BIT IS THE DANCE. OTHER THEN ME AGAIN BEING INTRODUCED TO ANOTHER BAHGER FOR THE LAST TIME OF THE NIGHT. OOOOOOOOOHHHHH IT WAS WHEN HE DID THAT SILLY DANCE AND I GOT TELECASTER FLASH BACKS I KNEW IT WAS IN THE MV I KNEW IT. HIS EMOTIONS? SILLY BUT NOT STUPID? HIS MOVES? I HAD SUCH A MOMENT OF IM SO BLOODY JEALOUS OF KAGAMINE LEN. ITS INCREADIBLY COOL AND CUTE AND FUNNY AND HYPE AND HE JUST DOES EVERYTHING IN THE RIGHT WAY ITS SUCH A GOOD INTERPRETATION OH MY GOODDDDDDDDDD I HOPE THIS COMES WITH KARMA WHEN THEY PLAY THAT! AMAZING BOY! WISH I WERE HIM! HE WAS SO KAGAMINE LEN THERE, ABD SO EGO ROCK! UNFORTUNATELY the fact I didn’t know the song beforehand meant I missed the amazing last line. Now I know and I’m so glad I’m so proud makes everything somehow better omg

AND THEN

Idc if this is annoying you know what’s coming you know I’m about to crazy for the last time tonight LOOK

I DIDNT KNOW KARMA. KARMA WAS FOR THE KARMA FANS. AND AFTER TWO HISTORICAL KAGAMINE SETS THEY HAD ENOUGH ENERGY TO MAGIC THEM BACK, THE TWO OF THEM, TOGETHER, IN AN OLD NEW SONG THAT EVERYONE KNOWS. THE SONG I ALREADY HAD AN AUTISTIC OBSESSION WITH. THE SONG THE SONG I AM LITERALLY NAMED AFTER. AND YET ANOTHER DOSE OF GENDER ENVY FROM HE HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!>{><][[\

THE KING OF HOLIDIOTS,

THE SOLDIER,

AND SHINDE SHIMAU TO WA NASAKENAI!

Because I already knew the song I cant yap about it musically. I love it already the hook is so good omg. The rendition was probably amazing but every time I hear it I get sucked into the world of the bad game and in my delusion, imagine myself as the beloved moron king. I would do anything to be that man. So much gender envy and in a good way like I don’t even want to kill him out of jealousy. I love him so much. The soldier’s cute too ig. This song just makes me so so so happy I can’t explain why it’s just it’s so I don’t know I love you. Yeah I can’t tell, you anything about the way the band played it though. Apart from the fact the intro was different. THAT was weird. I prefer the original but god I love the slow realisation that came with it and how all the hype was situated immediately when that heavenly hook took off after my king yells OW! (I LOVE YOU). Also I’d like to mention how much I prefer this to uhhhhh the other one your adventure log has vanished that one. Theyre both good, they both have the king in, they both make me incredibly happy and the second song is keeps the silliness and has even more quoteable lines it’s great I love it. I’d probably love them equally if not for shinde shimau to wa’s hook. And also the fact it was the first one. NOW IN PROJECT SEKAI WONDERSHOW COVER THE SECOND ONE. I DONT EVEN THINK THE FIRST IS IN THE GAME AT ALL. THIS MADE ME PRETTU SURE THAT IF EITHER OF THEM WOUKD FUFILL MY DREAM AND GET PLAYED LIVE ITD BE THAT ONE. BUT NO. MY BELOVED HOOK GETS ITS OFFICIAL REGCONITION IN THE CONCERTS NOT THE GAMES. WE FYCKING BAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL LIKE KINGS HERE.

I am beginning to get tired but do not assume I wasn’t here for the faces and the dances and the actions between rin and len in this song. Like the scene where they die at first? AND THEN RIN HAD TO PUMP LEN BACK UP? BECAUSE OF COURSE HE’S BURSTING FOR ONE HEAL? AND THEN WHEN RIN SAYS HER LINE AND THEN HER MORE ICONIC LINE AND AND OH GOD LEN IS DO TIRED NEAR THE END HES TRYING SO HARD AND RIN DOING THE COMANDING POINTING AND you’ll notice I’m not calling them by their names of the solider and king. I do believe Len fully embodied his character, he’s good at being pathetic. And it’s probably because I like the King so much that I thought they could have done his portrayal even better. BE MORE SMUG AND STUPID WITH YOUR WRY SMILE MY HIGHNESS ITS OKAY. IS IT THE SHORT SHORTS? I very often have trouble with rin being to cute I REALLY SHPULDNT COMPLAIN. RIN ARGUABLY DID HIM PERFECTLY BY NOT DOING HIM PERFECTLY HES JUST SO LAZY LIKE THAT OH HOW I LOVE THE SILLY POTATO IN A CROWN. They did this song in the first place. Along with EVERYTHING ELSE in this concert. But yeah, the way even the interactions reflect the story and lyrics. This song is everything to me, I’m sure a lot of people feel the same, and it’s so good to see such an old iconic story driven song be reflected officially in such a satisfying way

I’m not done yet. BAND MEMBER INTRODUCTION BABYYYYYY! WHEREIN! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS, MIKU DID IT HERSELF! WITH HER OWN VOICE! Saying the names and stuff! Like they used to! This is probably one of the benefits of having an online live, in real ones you’ve gotta worry about what happens if they’re sick and need to be replaced. I assume the words on a screen are a lot easier to change, but I don’t really know tbh. I actually have no idea why they don’t do it anymore. Also someone said that the band member introduction reminded them of another song or something so that’s neat. I really should listen to all of them and rank them. I’m enough of a miku fan to do something like that. Come on me.

I can remember the realisation that I was going to be hit with the main thing I was hyping this concert up for, after all the surprises and bangers exploded just like that. I have ALWAYS loved plaything, from the moment I heard it, and now I even see myself in its story and lyrics after all this time. I already mentioned it a bit in this post, and I’ll go into it again in my proper 2024 London post. How I love when the contest winner also matches the theme. That’s something great about this expo too everything that needed to be on theme was on theme. That outfit tho… I mourn you every day… very tempted to by the figure. Plaything would have been so much more with it. I remember also wanting the dance to be different but I think that’s because I spent so much time imagining what it would be like beforehand, something more like 2021 or miku with you but just with this adorable outfit and twirling and being a ballerina. Yeah. Love you plaything.

And then you come to the only returning song in this setlist, tell your world. I… didn’t like this. WHICH IS KINDA GOOD. THIS CONCERT DESEVES AT LEAST ONE FLOP. It’s not that it was returning but because it wasn’t able to return in the right way, by that of course I mean, the outfit transformation. And stuff like the original dance. I guess they’re trying to make it a miku expo staple, but I would have much preferred a remake of sharing the world or something with the new model, THAT’s the miku expo staple in my heart. You can’t take the outfit change away from tell your world and expect it to be just as good, which is funny because they’ve done it twice now, tell your world using the prodiva x miku, the main/first magical mirai one for a very long time as the opener for majimira 2015 and now here. Neither had the outfit change. It’s not just that even, the classic model is so much better for such a classic song. But it did have fireworks here. I just thought now, that it’d be interesting if they used the official English version here. I don’t think they were going to, but if they were to test it out this is where they should have done it, if it really is a supposed to be a miku expo staple. Hopefully they didn’t because they realised everyone would hate that. Hopefully they’re not going to jumpscare a crowd with official English tell your world one day. Please miku, don’t.

And then the sweet imaginary love story, to be the rollercoaster’s happily ever after. This made me so happy when it was played, we all knew it’d be there but god it became so much more on that day. The theme of the best concert so far, complete with miku wearing the outfit to match, in the new model at that! Imaginary love story did it before antenna 39! Remember this folks! The physics on it are amazing and how it fits the theme and now the setting makes sense and the dance is cute. And oh god that bit with the harmonies in the instrumental! And the end! And then the actual end of the show where they all come, I knew they would but it’s still nice.

I’d have to end it there. I did start this in the morning. It’s okay miku expo 2023 vr lasted for two days itll still be its anniversary tomorrow. So yeah. Don’t sleep on online lives if they could be like this. And never, ever forget this one. Please. For migu 🥺. This is the future of miku expo too, there’s no reason they won’t do karma for us. And even this year with the TV screen would have been nothing without this concert’s setlist, influence, models, etc. I think this is what single-handedly saved people’s views on Miku expo, please don’t ignore it. And thank you so, so much for reading. I love women.

Sorry I’m taking a while to update! I’ve indeed seen the setlist and some footage and I’ve got quite a few things to say :) another variation of the setlist will probably be out by the time I get to that though, which I feel a bit bad about :( I like to be on top things Y’know (I feel the need to share my predictions in case they’re right lol) sorry, for the wait, I’ll update as soon as I can, I’m so excited to!

#mikuexposting

It’s four days until Miku Expo, and I still haven’t heard the songs! JUST LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE DON’T HAVE THEIR PENLIGHTS, CRYPTON 😭😭😭

Today I’m going to watch, react and ramble to the Miku Expo 2026 theme and contest winner, on the same day (at around the same time) as the penlights go on sale, to demonstrate the small time frame (and assuredly not because I haven’t gotten around to seeing them yet and then realised this was a good date for engagement because it’s when the penlights go on sale I thinkkk)

My main aim here is to get a feeling for how they will be played, at which point in the setlist, and what miku will be wearing. And my general thoughts and opinions ofc. Also do not worry I’m going to miku expo europe 2026. not the one in four days. I’m not that much of a procrastinator. But I still won’t be ready for these songs when I see footage of them right.

#miku expo #I feel like I’ve forgotten something :( I’ll edit it on if I remember #mikuexposting #connect:commune #connect commune #flavor foley #making room for a fantasy #nostraightanswer #miku concert #hatsune miku #miku expo 2026 #vocaloid #miku #Youtube

In order to make some personal stuff work I had to open the Gohan box today. It became a question of “what needs to be done asap” and something in the Gohan box was required for such. I did film an unboxing video. Who knows if you’ll see that.

I really wanted to do the Miku expo post, then move onto Gohan. Especially since I clearly can’t post about things a while after I’ve experienced them. So I’ve made sure not to listen to any of the new songs, open the letters, try and figure out Tina’s movie card, read the wiki, machine translate stuff, etc. so I don’t get distracted.

I am going to try get the miku expost out at some point on the 20th though, probably in the last few hours, I’ve already started it. Then I’ll uh go Han as the kids say (I’m the kids). I might end up creating a Gohan side blog though I’m on the fence about that. I’ll make sure that’s before December though. I’ve also thought about eventually making a separate mikuexposting blog which I probably should have done from the start. And that one will be after December I think. At that point this blog shall be for art and rambling about anything other than those two things. It’s not like I care about them moreso I just feel obligated to since no one cares in the exact sane specific way that I do. I’m a narcissist who thinks they have interesting thoughts and theories. I will also probably talk about yume nikki in the Gohan one because they’re the same fandom to me. It’s all If I as a whole concept keep existing anyway. Don’t worry about it. I’m very weak, unmotivated, plain stupid and lazy so it’s all stressful for me. We’ll see how things go ig.

Here is definitely not the reason I decided I need to open the Gohan box today, melty in the melty.

And here’s some things I hope to post about, in no order

- miku expost

- separate post about the incident

- where does miku expo go from here?

- when miku expo comes back to the us and surope hopes

- the ideal snow miku setlist

- MANY rankings.

Happy miku expo in NZ guys! I promise I am trying to write a London review. I promise (Harugo reference). I quite literally need to get it out before I perform an unboxing on Monday(?) (also a harugo reference somehow. You’ll see)

I think I will have to watch a video of this concert I’m desperate to see how the crowd was and how everything went down, mostly Shinkai shoujo, abd the intergalactic bound thingy omg I just realised! WITH THAT BEing SAID AND IM PUTTIBG THIS IN BIG TEXT BECAUSE ITS VERY FUNNY

IM SORRY PERTH BUT THAT IS SUCH A FUNNY PLACE NAME AND MY FUNNY BONE IS NOT READY FOR LETS DANCE WITH A RYTHYM FROM PERTH LIKE HOW DO YOU EVDN anyway

I just realised YOURS WASNT SPONSORED BY CRUNCHYROLL RIGHT? WAS IT A HOLOGRAM? Wait let ,e check okay it as still a screen THAT SUVKS. It dies maje sense, the tours are very close together. With that being said your setlist is great though out of all the classics they good of picked they literally picked the best ones. Like I don’t think melancholic or double lariat would have gone as hard. And Shinkai shoujo? What a perfect surprise… (allow me to get into my autistic special interest of miku setlists) (sorry if you’re personally not happy with it I just like it wjen the setlist is better then what I could have come up with I think this setlist is all neat and tidy and pleasing and I like it very much) (me when they do what the people want a tad bit)

- don’t you dare complain Europe and America about these guys getting classics. How many miku concerts have they had before? That’s right, none.

- NIGHTFEVER LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOO I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAITING AND HOPING GOD IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS FINALLY ITS BEEN AGES I swear people were literally counting the amount of miku expos without nightfever since it was last played and now it’s here for those who couldn’t have it omg I’m so proud of luka too.

- it feels like London has just barely missed getting my favourite song ever played there twice in a row. Though I’m sure they’ve got Kokoro before.

- I hope Shinkai shoujo keeps that’s a perfect song to do down under. Also it’d be unfair if it didn’t-

- I’m actually glad, I was hoping they’d get the classics they deserve. And what perfect picks! Im pretty sure I’m not the only one who views Kokoro as an unexplainable masterpiece, and then fireflower? So near to its anniversary version on Spotify, god I love that though I think it’s just a coincidence. Also fits in Australia. God I love those old mikupa models (another thing for a separate post)

- and if we imagine this was swapped with the Europe tour setlist and I saw my favourite song ever live and didn’t feel a thing, I really REALLY would not be able to handle that. (Arguably a good thing but this is not the place for suideation) I’m so glad I got the monkey song while I was monkey brained.

- I would have grilled myself if they got odds and ends or Shinde shimau to wa nasakenai though. I mention those ones because I kept predicting them but like of course there’s others. Nightmare. I was really worried about the last one because if you think it really makes sense like - America gets the negitoro song from 23vr, Europe gets that AND the Kaimei song from 23vr, and australasia gets… oh thank god it’s just childish war. Good, we love it when they talk over eachother in a song. I have such a connection to Shinde though (everyone knows that) (not a harugo reference this time)

- no hyper reality show ig. I mean. I would have preferred Shinkai shoujo. But I know there’s gotta be people whore mad about it. Idc tbh Shinkai shoujo is so down under I can’t even like no that is objectively correct the utsu fans can still have vivid anyway. I think it’s intresting that it’s this one they decided to replace instead of just doing instead of melt/world is mine. There’s nowhere else in the setlist that is replaceable I think. Then again, it’s miku’s first time there, there’s no way she couldn’t have done world is mine. They broke their own rules and made hyper reality show the changeable one. Giving the mates or joeys or what3cer they say everything they need. I’m so happy with this setlist omg. They really do seem to understand dandori.

- oh yeah it’s here we discover that America was actually the odd one out in getting SHIKATANAI NE RURU DA MON A HA HA instead of red land marker and not the other way around with Europe. which they completely deserve after what they had to go through. Anything for a hot woman ig. Doesn’t make peeing on the floor acceptable though.

Unimportant personal concert concerns or autistic rambling or something:

- kinda makes me feel weird knowing that Shinkai shoujo is technically another mental health song I missed. Like Kokoro it’s glad I wasn’t there to then have a breakdown over not feeling anything. Though I got melt while in the process of missing someone intensely, plus the fact that melt is the reason some of my other comfort/mental health songs exist. Even if I couldn’t feel anything there and then, it’s the fact it happened ig. I also personally got the variant of the setlist with two mental health songs instead of getting a variant without any. That’s not really a concert specific thing but it’s for thanksgiving idfk.

- it did bring forth a terrible fear that luka luka might fever is now likely to come to America and Europe in the next miku expo in like two years which is good for everyone else and for the sake of feelings but after dehydrating and yet somehow peeing myself (joke tabun) and throwing a tantrum because I couldn’t see in London I will not be standing in the pits next time abd therefore will not be able to do the dance. I know you’re not supposed to do the dance, I know there’s not enough room. I learned this from trying to do the telecaster B boy with a single glow stick, having to improvise and then realising how revolting I was being when watching recordings. But like, it’s luka luka night fever. I will definitely not be the only one. It’s the vocaloid flash mob song. But I can’t do that if I’m in the seating area… I think it’s oka6 I think this is a deserved one time thing for the guys who’ve never had miku come to their homeland before. Next miku expo we’ll get batsubyou, someday’z coming, possibly even wanderlastCAN YOU IMAGINEanyway. Then if they go down under that time around they can get lost and found, perfectionist complex, hello worker, just be friends or shiawase no shite mo or whatever it’s called. They can’t America and Europe another ballad I’ve seen so many complaints about boring luka songs. The hope is like double lariat and rip release but that’s impossible. Actually no, the hope is interviewer. I don’t care if you find ballads boring we all universally love interviewer. Make like literacy and play everywhere

Thanks for reading, I hope I can find a good video of the full concert in at least one location. Though I’ve got a lot to be busy with (it’s all rin Penrose’s fault) (that’s a lie I love her happy unemployment it’s me not finishing things in school that’s what) hopefully it’ll also jog my memory for my concert experience, which I really need to post soon because of the order of post operations and and and

I really gotta figure out my own dandori huh.
