Ready to jump and bounce? One of BIGHEAD’s newest songs MIKU’S BOUNCE xx from the album “MIKU’S TAPE -Miku Expo 2018 Edition-” has been made into an animated video by s0f.l1d!

The song is Hybrid Trap styled, and will likely get you headbanging along with Miku (which we’ve been waiting for someone to finally do in a video!). The visual effects also compliment the song very well. The Miku model used is a variant of REMmaple’s Hatsune MikuMikuDance model, and was animated in MikuMikuMoving.

MIKU’S TAPE -Miku Expo 2018 Edition- is being sold during the Miku Expo 2018 USA & MX tour, so be sure to grab a copy at your local event!
