Hatsune Miku

Hatsune Miku returns to Paris with MIKU EXPO and a specially staged steampunk universe on 22 November 2026 at the Accor Arena, Paris. A central figure of the Vocaloid scene, Miku was created by Crypton Future Media: a voice bank derived from recordings of voice actress Saki Fujita, which producers around the world make sing by entering lyrics and melodies. From this collaborative practice emerged a vast repertoire—ranging from J‑pop, electro‑pop and dance to rock and EDM offshoots—first distributed online and later brought to the stage.

In concert, Miku appears as a 3D projection, accompanied by live musicians, in shows conceived as an extension of the digital studio. The announced steampunk staging promises to revisit her signature songs and community gems with an aesthetic that blends retro‑futurism and imagined mechanics, without altering the synthetic, luminous essence of her voice. Whether one has followed the Vocaloid since its beginnings or is discovering her on the big stage, this show highlights the creative power of the producers who compose for her and the way this virtual character connects otaku culture, Japanese pop and live performance innovation.
