LOS ANGELES, CA — Pacific Media Expo will be holding an unofficial concert featuring the virtual divas Hatsune Miku, Gumi, and Yuzuki Yukari. Brought by Sythesized Reality Productions, the Hatsune Miku concert will be free for all badge holders but since concert space is limited, attendees are urged to purchase their PMX2013 badges soon. The concert will be from 4:30pm – 5:30pm on Saturday, November 9th, and a Vocaloid Panel will be held on Saturday, November 9th, at 2 PM.

As an animated persona from the singing synthesis program Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku became known throughout Japan after her “live” debut in August of 2009. With over 50,000 songs created each year by her users, she has since gained worldwide recognition, become an international pop sensation, and is one of the most popular characters in Japanese anime pop culture today.
