VOCALOID Mirai Komachi 3rd Anniversary Celebrations
The official website for Mirai Komachi’s 3rd anniversary as a VOCALOID has been created, and was advertised on her official Twitter PR account earlier today!

But at the same time, there are always plenty of fun things in store for those of us wanting to join in the fun, so if you, like us, want to celebrate 3 years of her as a VOCALOID, find out more below!

Note: If you take a close look at the illustration for the new song “Mirai Rolling Bass”, apparently the illustrator wrote her name “MIRAI” on the necklace she’s wearing in “Xevi language” (ゼビ語) – a language used in Bandai Namco’s classic arcade game Xevious from 1983:
Special DJ Performance feat. Mirai Komachi
Following from the announcement of the new songs comes that of an awesome-looking DJ performance, courtesy of BanaDIVE™AX – “Interactive Virtual Performance System”. Straight from Bandai Namco’s research institute, BanaDIVE™AX is described as:
A new type of entertainment system to raise the excitement of events on the whole through DJ play with game AI and 3D characters, linked performances with xR, a song selection system determined by the audience and more.
In this system, using pre-analyzed music, the game AI that incorporates DJ performance (seamlessly joining music, controlling the tempo of music, exciting the audience etc.) is linked with the motions of 3D characters and ambience of live music venues.
We also utilized the interactivity unique to game AI to incorporate entertainment elements such as song selection by real-time voting, music-linked visual production, and AR audio visual direction. As a result, DJ and audiences can, whether at the venue or in remote locations, experience immersive live performances together.

We actually covered a similar DJ experience before back in June last year, where Mirai Komachi DJ’d at the ASOBINOTES ONLINE FES using this exact technology! For anyone who hasn’t witnessed it, this year is your chance!
Look forward to more specific details coming soon!
