WATCH: A Hologram Performed on David Letterman’s Show Last Night
Well, this is different — especially for David Letterman.
Japanese anime “star” Hatsune Miku “performed” her hit “Sharing the World” on Wednesday night’s Late Show. All those extraneous quotation marks come with very good reason: While Miku’s band is made of very real human beings, the singer is a projected humanoid persona voiced by a synthesizer app.
Developed by Crypton Future Media, Miku’s voice was sampled from Japanese actress Saki Fujita. Together, they’ve now officially invaded America.

After the unusual performance on the CBS late-night show, host Letterman strolled over to the hologram to thank her for stopping by. He wisely added a joke to ease all of the weirdness.
“All right, that’s fun,” Letterman said. “It’s like being on Willie Nelson’s tour bus.”
