Japanese culture has been part of Australia for a long time now. From food to festivals to anime conventions, Australians have partaken of and enjoyed many parts of Japanese culture. Now thanks to the OzAsia festival the phenomonon that is Hatsune Miku has hit Australian shores. Hatsune Miku is but the next aspect of the Japanese experience that is taking the world by storm.


Put simply Hatsune Miku is the future of music. To go into more detail, she is a computer program known as a Vocaloid. She is designed as an instrument that can emulate a Japanese singer producing any word and any note. She was the first of a line of Vocaloids to become popular in Japan to the point where she now fills stadiums and concerts halls with people who love Vocaloid music and the virtual personality which is Hatsune Miku.

The End is Hatsune Miku's first opera, conceived by Japanese composer, Keiichiro Shibuya. The End explores Hatsune Miku as a person as she considers the idea that she is a perpetually ageless 16 year old and compares herself to other humans. With an advanced hologram media set up, costumes designed by Louis Vuitton and enchanting music from Shibuya, The End is the next step in virtual performances and future music. This is sure to be a highlight in the OzAsia Festival.


As part of the event all Greenroom members have been invited to a special red carpet event held just before the performance on the 4th of October.
