We’ve had a wave of announcements about K-pop idols coming to Malaysia for concerts and events, but what about Japanese artists? Fret not, as a lineup of J-pop acts is headed our way very soon, starting with the Japan Expo 2025 taking place this week!
It looks like another hugely popular Japanese artist will be making her way to our shores later this year — and it’s none other than the one and only, the iconic Hatsune Miku (初音ミク)! Here’s what you need to know:
On Tuesday (15th July), iMe Malaysia announced that the MIKU EXPO Asia 2025 will be held in Kuala Lumpur this November. For those unfamiliar with the event or with Hatsune Miku herself, this anime-style character is actually a computer-generated musical artist and one of Japan’s most iconic Vocaloids. Since her debut in 2007, she has taken the world by storm, even selling out concerts despite not being a real person. She was also one of the artists lineup for the 2024 Coachella.
Human or not, the love fans have for her is very real, and that’s how MIKU EXPO was born. Organised by Crypton Future Media, it is a global concert tour that also features a range of sub-events, including exhibitions, workshops and club nights. It offers fans from all backgrounds the chance to come together and celebrate the vibrant, creative culture surrounding Hatsune Miku. While not much info has been announced, here are the confirmed details about the upcoming event so far:
HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2025 in Kuala Lumpur
- Date: 22nd November 2025 (Saturday)
