Vocaloids! A Virtual Concert

Recap:
Last night, we had an amazing showing of Vocaloids! A Virtual concert at the amazing theater and club at Nekkido. The audience filtered in quietly, and we began with about 6 or 7 total audience members. By the time the show ended, approximately 30-35 people had come into the building! We'll have to bring more chairs the next time we do the show (which is this Sunday at 5pm slt!).

Comments about the show:
"Amazing!"
"So beautiful"
"I couldn't keep my eyes off of Hatsune Miku!"
"So much fun"

About the Show:
Vocaloid: [Noun]

1. A humanoid persona voiced by a singing synthesizer application.
Example: Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Len and Kagamine Rin are popular vocaloids in Japan and throughout the world.

2. A growing internet phenomenon and the feature of a popular video game called Project Diva.

3. A fun departure from EAE's more serious performances.

Vocaloids! is a fun concert performance featuring special effects, amazing stages and the music of three of the most popular vocaloids: Hatsune Miku and the twins Kagamine Len and Kagamine Rin! This show is very light and fun, a true departure from the shows we typically produce.

About Nekkido:
Roughly one quarter of Keisei, Nekkido is an amazing asian themed sim, with a modern and adult twist. Complete with a club and theater, semi-traditional teahouse, massage parlor, strip club and private residence, Nekkido is truly a gem of Second Life. If you have yet to travel there, you are missing out. You can find Nekkido by visiting this link: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife//122/222/22

About East Asian Events

Welcome to the first blog post for East Asian Events! Here's a little bit about who we are in Second Life and what we do:

We are an independent performance group, which specializes in creating East Asian themed productions. This group is not affiliated with any particular RP or sim; it simply exists to create amazing works of performance art and to share the culture of these countries with those in SL.

We have a growing repertoire of performances based on the following cultures: China, Japan, the Koreas, Mongolia and Taiwan. Refusing to adhere to a specific time period, our shows are traditional yet modern, fantasy yet reality. We live in a world of beauty, music and dance and revel in the joy which they come with.

We lack a set schedule, performing only as inspiration moves us. We want creativity to take precedence and to ensure that each performance leaves a lasting impression in the minds of the audience. And we are not an RP group, thus we do not restrict access to membership based on your involvement with a group or sim.

You can join our patron group to stay apprised of future shows by using the following link: Group URL: secondlife:///app/group/4a73316d-f50b-37d4-db65-fe0307c6d40c/about.
