I think this sort of thing is so cool. Having seen a video of a prior event, it basically involves the Kodo drum players performing the drum parts for Cryptonloid songs (It's not Miku-exclusive; Luka and Rin/Len were in there at least, too, and that only speaks for the part I saw.). I only kind of wish that the 'loids could be involved in the more traditional music somehow, too--it would be really cool if that mixing could go both ways, sort of like it seems to for the Cho Kabuki event.

Seems that from the previous Mirai band only Misawa Takahiro is at the Kodo concert

This event has also been postponed due to coronavirus:

This event has also been postponed due to coronavirus:

They have now decided to cancel the event entirely instead of trying to reschedule it.

"Nooooo!" (Covid punches me in the sternum so hard I double-over and cough up blood.)

Damn, I really love the Miku x KODO concerts. They have an energy that's entirely unique compared to the other concerts.

Well, we are already in 2021 so it was expected
