Fans eagerly awaiting Hatsune Miku’s performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival were disappointed when they discovered a digital glitch: The beloved singer had been reduced to a two-dimensional image.

Unlike the human performers, the transition from three to two dimensions does not bring about a tragic death, as Miku exists only as lines of computer code.

She, as VOCALOID, is an artificial intelligence driver developed in 2007 by Japanese music software company Crypton.

She composes songs that imitate human voices and is depicted as a 16-year-old anime girl with knee-length turquoise hair.

Even though she was virtual, she gained huge popularity and toured around the world.

Her performance at Coachella left fans disappointed as the beloved hologram was replaced with a simple LED screen displaying a flashing image.

This departure from her usual holographic appearance made attendees uncomfortable.

During her Vancouver concert, fans were surprised to see Miku appear on a flat screen instead of her expected holographic form.

The unexpected change sparked outrage from concertgoers, with many demanding refunds.

Critics point out that attendees who spend large sums (sometimes over $200) want a more immersive experience from their Vocaloid idols.

Dissatisfaction with the reduction in performances has raised questions about fan expectations and Hatsune Miku’s performance.

Despite the disappointing recent performance, loyal fans are still hoping for more exciting performances at Coachella.
