HATSUNE MIKU EXPO Rewind to Stream Worldwide for Free
08.January.2022 | ANIME&GAME / MUSIC
Crypton Future Media Inc. will be taking a look back at Hatsune Miku’s world tour series ‘HATSUNE MIKU EXPO’ in a new streaming event on June 5, 2022. Fans from around the world will be able to tune in to ‘HATSUNE MIKU EXPO Rewind,’ featuring tons of past content from the virtual idol’s trips overseas. This will include foreign language songs unique to the world tour.
To date, Hatsune Miku has performed a total of 68 concerts in 30 cities around the world, attracting over 190,000 fans. Immediately after the January 2020 Europe tour, the pandemic began, and the subsequent North American tour was canceled. A crowdfunding campaign was launched in Autumn 2020 to bring the singer back, and, as expected, shattered its goal. Now, fans will be able to see the singer virtually yet again after the ‘HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2021 Online’ event was also broadcast globally.

16.December.2021 | ANIME&GAME / MUSIC

This song is the latest in a series of collective Vocaloid tracks and is sung by eight Vocaloids including Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len.
Mr. Schadenfreude – Hitoshizuku x Yama△ Music Video
The music video was created by Suzunosuke, a well-known illustrator, with Tosao in charge of direction. The track is also available on streaming services, so be sure to add it to your library!
Comment from Hitoshizuku
This song was based on the motif of a ‘Werewolf Game.’
It’s been a while since I’ve produced a multi-part Vocaloid track, and I’ve scatted a number of hints for solving the song’s riddle in the lyrics, the video, and the CD. Ponder the answer while enjoying the song!
