Hatsune Miku Live – Untitled 0 – has just been cancelled. Please refrain from purchasing Niconico points for its net ticket if you were planning to. To those who have already, your points will be refunded to your account.

According to the Hatsune Miku Official Blog, the “Untitled 0” subtitle means that the show has no set theme or concept to it. The show will incorporate many famous songs that were performed during past Crypton Future Media-hosted events like Magical Mirai, Miku Expo, and Snow Miku, plus other songs that will be making their concert debut in Japan, all performed by a live band! The blog also confirms that it will be not just Miku, but all six of the piapro characters who will perform in Hatsune Miku Live – Untitled 0 -!
