NEWS FROM THE FUTUREI Sing the Body Electric – LA Times Magazine:

Since 2009, the Japanese-pop divatar has performed shows in her native land, as well as a Los Angeles debut at the Nokia Theater during the 2011 Anime Expo. In March, she sold 10,000 tickets for $76 a pop in Tokyo. Her most viewed clip on YouTube, in which she sings her megahit “World Is Mine,” has gotten more than 15 million hits.

Forget Blue-Ray, next up is home Hologram. We’ll see DIY versions first as usual.

      When you realize that people are paying, not for the music or the singer, but for the opportunity to be surrounded by thousands of other people who share an interest and have an excuse to enjoy themselves, then it doesn’t seem so insane.

      They could honestly be paying $75 a ticket to watch paint dry, as long as there were thousands of other people getting really excited about watching the paint dry too. In pop music, particularly, it’s an event where the quality of the ‘merchandise’ is less important than the culture that surrounds it.

      I was there and It was simply amazing. It was only 15 dollars too!

      Oh, and there is a DIY version already. It’s been used for mini DIY fan driven concerts. http://youtu.be/HDEW9YV6GWM
