Thanks to the support of fans worldwide, virtual singer Hatsune Miku’s world concert tour series “HATSUNE MIKU EXPO” will celebrate its 10th anniversary on May 28th, 2024.
Starting in Jakarta, Indonesia on May 28th, 2014, this event has since traveled to 30 cities around the globe, performing a total of 68 shows.

While the world was in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, “HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2021 Online” was first held in 2021. The next year “HATSUNE MIKU EXPO Rewind” was also held online as a look back on all past concerts, and in 2023 “HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2023 VR” was streamed for free. Even when the tour could not directly visit fans, MIKU EXPO continued to bring Hatsune Miku’s voice to everyone across the world.

Throughout the changing times, “HATSUNE MIKU EXPO” has brought people together to the universal songs of Hatsune Miku. The 10th anniversary year’s theme is “Universal Positivity,” a throwback to the original theme in 2014.

COMMENT

Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of MIKU EXPO!

I previously participated in the "MIKU EXPO SONG CONTEST" held in 2015 and CircusP won the Grand Prize in that contest. This is a song I made with one of my favorite Vocaloid Ps for the stage that I had been dreaming of for 9 years. I am sure this wonderful MV will remain in people's hearts.

I hope you enjoy the MIKU EXPO 10th anniversary.

COMMENT

I'm really excited for everyone to see the MV for "Intergalactic Bound"!! It's definitely the biggest production I've ever been a part of, and it looks so cool! The visuals do a great job at conveying the feeling of being connected, regardless of where on earth (or space) you are!

As the song progresses, the MV gets cooler and cooler... with my favorite parts being at the very end! There's nothing but up up up, so I hope you enjoy both the song and MV together!!

COMMENT

I am very honored to be in charge of producing a MV for the MIKU EXPO 10th anniversary. I created it under the theme of "universal positivity," while considering how to combine the following four elements in the video: (1) the image of the music and lyrics, (2) the character of Hatsune Miku, (3) the four different costumes, and (4) the history of MIKU EXPO's 10th Anniversary. I hope everyone enjoys the video along with the wonderful music!
