I was right about the Japanese

The Japanese are so far superior that they have replaced singers with 3D holograms. This particular one, Hatsune Miku, has just sold out her latest concert, with tickets going for $80 a pop. Take that, The Voice and American Idol.

I did some digging about this blue-haired pop phenom and discovered that there have been more than 100,000 songs and movies about Hatsune since her creation.  

Singer/songwriters, autotune monkeys, subway buskers, and all you guitar-toting off-key hippies: take note that you are being crushed by a hologram.

"She" isn't really a "she" obviously; she's a goddamn android! A music android! Powered by Yamaha's Vocaloid technology.  There are so many awesome things about those last three sentences that I'm not sure where to begin.

To the beginning.

To accommodate your tiny brains, let's just refer to Hatsune as "she."

• She was created in Sapporo, Japan. Immediate street cred for being born in the home of the only palatable Japanese beer. 
  
• At just five years old, she's already selling out concert arenas. In your face, Olsen Twins!
  
• Although she's dressed like a total ho, she wears a tie, which says to me, "I'm business from the waist up. But not business anywhere below." To each his own.

• She's 158cm or barely 5'2" which is pretty damn short but GIGANTOR for the Japanese. She weighs in at a whopping 42kg or 93lbs. Again, normally a clear sign of weakness but she's an avatar for Christ's sake. Now, why any of this data is important to Crypton Future Media (her creators) is questionable but I appreciate the can-do attitude and thoughtfulness of CFM. And double thumbs up for the weird, somewhat foreboding name.
  
• If you've watched the video above to the end, you've already surmised that Hatsune has the moves. I particularly like that jazz hand-hambone dance she does toward the middle . . . to appeal to the hillbilly Japanese.
  
• It's also impossible to ignore the crowd is going FUCKING CRAZY for this hologram. Again, further proof the Japanese are my kind of people. They can just get behind something wholeheartedly, not half-assedly like most of you unwashed masses. 

Once again the Japanese have schooled (and somewhat terrified) all of you dummies over here. To sum up what you should have learned: 1. Singers, your days are numbered.  2. The Japanese are superior.  3. I was right, as always.
