Well I was a fan since her early days when The World Is Mine was like majorly huge, but I remember the dance covers for that song tended to be pretty faithful to the source material. The dance isn't super complex and is memorable so I understand.
Then recently I fell for the vocaloid world once more when the 3DS game made it here, and I got completely obsessed with a lot of other vocaloid songs, even went on to like Rin more than Miku, but that's another story for another day.
I wanted to see faithful real life person dance a lot of the songs exactly in the way the vocaloids would do it because... well that's just one of those things you want to see irl, much like how you would want to see a person do parkour like a video game character.
There was a song, gaikotsu gakudan to riria on the 3DS game that was a really fast paced and fun song with Charleston as its style. The dance was super fun and catchy as well as matching the theme of the song extremely well.
Well... I searched an irl dance... some bubbly Japanese girls danced to it like some bubbly old pop song and the charm of Miku's dance was entirely lost. I was disappointed.
Now let's go to a more popular song, Tell Your World. Super good song with a very energetic dance on Miku's part, very interpretive and adds to the song. Just Dance Wii U did a pretty good job with their own dance that I also thought was pretty interpretive and had a lot of homages to other dances from Miku. That's good, I don't mind seeing that, especially on a game that requires the player to dance as well, since not everybody can dance like Miku.
Then... the youtube covers. Ok, they're good, and all of the different interpretations people do have the Miku's hand flick into the air thing at that one moment. But would it kill them to have at least one version where it's actually Miku's dance?
I dunno, my dreams of seeing Miku's dances done perfectly irl seems far off, unless you guys can make recommendations. I don't understand why people don't just try to make a perfect recreation of the game's dances though. It's even more f***ing irritating when those live concerts do absolutely jack s*** for songs that have very interesting dances. Rin's Meltdown comes to mind. Very depressing kind of song with a somber and flowy ballet dance. They change it to a pop bubble dance in the live version. Hurray.
