The problem is, that the area is normally too dark to see, and when you can see the people, Miku is too far back. I'll keep watching the concert though see if I can find an image.
Edit 2: And when you can see the people, with Miku up close a hand/glow stick covers most of her. :/
Edit 3: Just for clarification, visible hands would count as seeing the people right?

That's rather annoying. It's almost like Vocaloid concerts were designed to maximize hologram visibility rather than for optimum viability as a trope page image. They really need a sense of priorities ;P
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyI know! It's like they don't want us to take pictures and put them up on TV tropes~

Everyone, I have an excellent pic for this trope:

"Your kindness gives me the presentiment I can be reborn. Now, I want to believe at least in you." - Kaori YaeTried to see if the Shiori pic shrunk well at 350 px, and it does. Posting two versions, one normal and one sharpened a bit.

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.To be more specific: it's an animesque character's debut single.
(She's the heroine of Konami's Dating Sim Tokimeki Memorial, an extremely popular video game in Japan back in The '90s, to the point that Konami made it a Cash-Cow Franchise: the Virtual Celebrity ploy seen here is one of the aspects of that milking).
"Your kindness gives me the presentiment I can be reborn. Now, I want to believe at least in you." - Kaori YaeIt really kills me that we haven't found a good Miku pic for this. She really is The Most Triumphant Example.
I don't really think a character single is a good example. In that case, why not something From Girls Dead Monster or Houkago Tea Time?

I'm not sure of what you're talking about. I haven't seen those two shows, and they aren't listed in the trope's example list. Can you find a pic of those similar to mine, where you see the char and the single placed in a Real Life situation?
"Your kindness gives me the presentiment I can be reborn. Now, I want to believe at least in you." - Kaori YaeHmm...lets see. *fires up GIS*
(these are blog links, I can host the images here later if necessary)

Houkago Tea Time next to real bands and products
(sadly, photoshop, but it gets the idea across)
There should be similar Miku images...hmm...

Angel Beats one is all Japanese. I can understand (am on my 5th year of Japanese + 1-year study trip in Japan), but I don't think the others will.
{{K-On!}} one looks more like standard anime posters you can see hung on Akihabara's buildings, not advertising for an animesque character's single about to be released in stores.

Miku's an excellent example of a Real Life Virtual Celebrity, but the problem is that before reading the article, it just looks like a picture of a generic anime-style girl.
I would suggest a picture that portrays her in a more "celebrity"-like interaction with a mass of people, perhaps from one of her concerts?
