Japanese 3D singing hologram Hatsune Miku becomes nation's strangest pop star
Last updated at 2:14 PM on 12th November 2010
She is cute, stylish and has had a number one chart-topping single.
But Japan’s newest and biggest pop star differs from most of her peers in one crucial aspect: she is a hologram.
Hatsune Miku has taken the music scene by storm in her native Japan where her concerts are always sold out and are full of screaming, adoring fans.
Now, like something out of a science fiction film, videos have emerged which show Miku on tour in Japan, singing a selection of hits.

Miku is a digital avatar created by Japanese technology firm Crypton Future Media that customers can purchase and then program to perform any song on their computer.
She is supposed to be 16 years old and five foot two inches tall but her makers have given little away about her personality.
Her music and image have proved so popular that she has now gone on a sell-out tour where thousands of fans wave light sticks and scream as if she is a real-life pop star.
It is the first time a hologram has been used on stage in this way, moving and strutting just like a real pop star.
Miku has become such a star that she already has a fan club, Facebook page and has set up ‘her’ own record label.
She performed her first ‘live’ concert in 2009 and has also travelled to Singapore on tour.
In March 2010 three metal plates with Hatsune Miku’s image etched on them were placed on board Japanese spacecraft Akatsuki and sent into space after a nationwide petition with more than 14,000 signatures demanded she be included.
