In an interview with French news and media website le Monde dated November 1, 2013, Keiichiro Shibuya was asked how the play would fit the traditional opera. He answered that “Hatsune Miku: The End” is composed of electronic music and takes more influence from traditional Japanese court music over classical European music. He then admitted that he took influence from dance music, dubstep and K-pop as his inspirations. He then commented that Hatsune Miku can hit notes higher than any human could.


This futuristic play on a traditional European opera house is scheduled November 12, 13 and 15 (Paris time).
