While there are plenty of Vocaloid cover versions of popular songs, examples of live human vocalists covering songs originally “performed” by software singers are less common. They do exist, though, and Wagakki Band‘s first album consists entirely of Vocaloid songs. Even without the novelty repertoire, the group is noteworthy for their lively combination of traditional Japanese instruments and hard rock. I’m curious to hear their second album, which features their own material.
I think this is the original, with Hatsune Miku.
If you’d like to play along, there are plenty of arrangements here.

While I’m posting videos, here are a couple more.
There are other fine Girls und Panzer videos here.
