Hatsune Miku, a computer-generated Japanese pop star who performs as a hologram, is to support some of Lady Gaga´s tour of North America next month, the US songstress has announced on Twitter.
The pixel-perfect pop princess, whose voice is also the product of digital code, will perform in 3D alongside a band made of real musicians at shows starting in Atlanta on May 6.”My favourite digital pop star Hatsune Miku is opening The ARTPOP Ball from May 6-June 3!” @ladygaga said on her Twitter feed.
“Look at how cute she is!,” she added, with a link to YouTube video showing the digital diva in action.
The collaborative brainchild of software developers, a manga comic artist and a vast digital fan community, the virtual singer from outer space has become one of the hottest stars on the J-pop scene in the last few years.
