Hatsune Miku Dances Inside Your Computer With These Awesome Case Mods

We’ve seen Hatsune Miku PC case mods before, but these mods making Miku appear inside your computer case take it to a whole new level.

Using a transparent LCD panel in place of of the normal side panel, the modification makes it appear as if Miku is dancing inside the case itself. This particular creation comes from @nissyan_daze on Twitter, who used an InWin 707 case for the mod. It’s on display at “PC BUILDERS 2” in Osaka, a fan-created event/gathering.

Check out extra images and video below!


The first versions of this mod were originally made back in July 2017, and appeared at OlioSpec in Tokyo. Below is a video of the earlier revision.

23-Meter Long Art Exhibition Displayed For Hatsune Miku’s 10th Anniversary in Otemachi, Tokyo

In what has to be the longest Hatsune Miku art exhibition ever showcased, the display in Otemachi, Tokyo definitely looks stunning at 23 meters in length.

The exhibition comes as a collaboration between Crypton Future Media and the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, the very same paper that featured a 2 page advertisement celebrating Miku’s 10th anniversary. Over the 10 years, there has been a lot of memories, and a lot of artwork! No wall could ever hope to fit them all, but this display is an impressive feat. Topping it all off, the popular life-sized Miku statue designed by iXima is also displayed at the exhibition.


The exhibition started today (October 13th), and will be open daily between the hours of 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM until the 5th of November (will be closed October 22nd for Holiday). The location of the exhibition is the Yomiuri Newspaper Building 3F, Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. A limited number of gifts are available for free to visitors while the supplies last!

EDIT 10/14/2017: Fan-made introduction video now available!
