Our project is hopefully an ironic blend of reality and virtuality in the context of Japanese popular culture. As explained in the context below, virtual Japanese culture often makes the virtual seem more appealing, despite the fact that they are supposed to act as a reflection of reality, a theme not uncommon globally. Specifically, in our project, we attempt to depict a particular niche of the various genres of Japanese popular culture that seems uniquely Japanese: vocaloids. We aim to use our shadow silhouettes as a metaphor for these virtual, singing and dancing figures to gauge the reaction of our mostly Western audience to the Japanese version of virtual environment.
