Ha, lol. I understand you not knowing what they are. Ok, below is a link to a YouTube video of "Hatsune Miku" singing live in Tokyo. Hatsune Miku is the icon Vocaloid in the series. There are many Vocaloids however. The Vocaloids were developed by Crypton future media, and Yamaha corporations in like, 2006, or 2007. A Vocaloid is essentially a Hologram that sings live. Miku stands at about 5 foot 5 - 5 foot 7. And is modeled after a 16 year old girl. Some other Vocaloids include Luka Megurine, who is modeled after a 20 year old woman, and the Lin and Rin kagamine twins, modeled after a 12-14 year old set of twins. One female, the other male. Another is Kiato. There are more though. They are Japanese made, and each Vocaloid hologram "speaks" by using a voice synthesizing program designed by Yamaha corporations called "Vocaloid" Crypton designed the hologram technology. They can sing in any language, but Japanese is the main one. Luka has some songs in English, but they're not her songs. a live band plays at each concert being the main stage were the Vocaloid is at. The only "faked" part of a concert is the singer and her/his voice. The voice is a computer singing, and the singer is just a hologram. It’s actually pretty awesome. I love it.

Here’s the link.
