    If you ever got a chance to read William Gibson's sci-fi book Idoru, about a Japanese virtual pop star, you'll be happy to know that fiction is now reality!

    Check out this amazing video and see for yourself how far this technology has come, and what it promises for our entertainment future.

    Yeah, I was pretty impressed with the avatar, so lifelike! And the crowd is just going nuts!

    This does look like a scene from a scifi novel, more than anything else I've ever seen.

    I'm wondering what the words to the song are. Are they vacuous? It would be most apropos.

    The lyrics are available online, but the song is called "World Is Mine". its a song about a girl making demands to her boyfriend, singing about how she is Princess of the world, shopping, and pudding. Its definitely one of the more popular Vocaloid songs, and unarguably the most popular of the Vocaloids, Miku Hatsune.

    LYRICS
    the whole world's only princess
    known by heart to treat me kindly
    got it?

    the first thing~
    you must know when my hair style should be different and "more" than usual

    the second thing~
    you must know when I wear a new pair of shoes, got it?

    the third thing~
    for every word when I talk to you,
    I just expect three words in reply

    if you get that, my right palm feels a bit empty...
    SO DO SOMETHING FOR ME!
    I'm not really saying anything selfish
    I just want you to think from your own heart
    that I am cute and sweet enough for you

    the whole world's only princess
    realized that... hey, hey...

    keeping me waiting is out of the question
    who do you think I am?
    Geez, I want to go...
    to eat something sweet ♥
    RIGHT NOW, okay? ♥

    Oh, check one two... Ahhh!

    my flaws?
    but mistakes are attractive. don't you think?
    I won't accept any complaints
    "IDIOT"

    And...
    oh yeah, white horses look good, am I right or not?
    then... pick me up with that
    if you understand me, then kneel, take my hand and call me "My Princess"

    I'm not really saying anything selfish
    Though it's really alright if you scold me a bit

    the only prince in my eyes for me
    you should know that
    both of our hands are real empty
    blunt and reticent prince
    the matter is...?
    c'mon, notice it FASTER!

    so... you don't understand at all...
    a shortcake with strawberry on the top of it
    pudding made with selected eggs
    from all you, will hold back ♥
    you shouldn't think I'm really selfish
    'coz I can behave proper as well!
    you'll regret your words

    sure thing because I'm...

    the whole world's only princess
    keep watch over me
    or I'll wander elsewhere

    abruptly, you held me
    what all of a sudden?
    "you'll get run over, danger..."
    you say gazing the other way
    this here is more dangerous

    I think the words are even more vacuous than I thought they would be...

    All about "me"...
