Talk:HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2016 NORTH AMERICA/@comment-92.52.231.1-20160604204129

The stage design of 2016 north american Miku concerts appears to be directly influenced by Fritz Lang's Metropolis, a famous sci-fi silent movie fom 1927. Those columns at the side of the concert podium, made up of stacked concentric disks, belonged to Machinemensch Maria, the mad scientist's replacement robotic lover.

Maybe the concert organizers, that is CFM, consider Hatsune Miku as a "replicant" of Saki Fujita?

( By the way, Metropolis was tremendously influential in the histrory of movie-making, both in themes and aesthetics. For example the design of droid C3PO is a 1-on-1 male-fied version of Maria, as shown by this surviving early "Star Wars" draft: http://www.anthonydaniels.com/journalism/wc/images/mcquarrie_3po.jpg )
