BRING IT ON” by GigaP featuring Kagamine Rin & Len, and the second theme song for Hatsune Miku: Magical Mirai 2018, is now available! The song is also part of the Kagamine Rin & Len 10th anniversary celebration that will be taking place at this year’s Magical Mirai 2018 events in Osaka and Tokyo in August and September.

The song itself is a real blast of Electro-House and Rap styles, and definitely contributes to the talked-about “High Energy” song changes we can expect at this year’s Magical Mirai events. You can also expect to hear this song in-concert! Check out the official music video above.

Summer wear in Winter? Sure, why not! The previously teased Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka Swimsuit version 1/12 scale figures from FREEing are now up for preorder starting today! They are the first of an all-new figure line called “S-Style”, which is short for “Small & Stylish”. They are aimed at being small, yet detailed and affordably priced.

A new series of figures that aim to create palm-sized figures that are both ‘SMALL & STYLISH’ – S-style! The first to join the series is Hatsune Miku wearing a striped bikini with a frilly bottom that really brings out her cute side!

While the figure is quite small, the sculpting of her characteristic twin tails and even the coloring of her eyes have been given the utmost attention to bring a high quality figure for a reasonable price. You can also display her together with the second in the series, Megurine Luka, to start your S-style collection!

The S-style series is just beginning, so be sure to look forward to more in the future!

Both figures are up for preorder on Good Smile Company’s online shop for 2,980 Yen ($25) each, with preorders closing on January 20th, 2016 at 9:00 PM JST. The expected shipment period is April 2016, just 4 months later! The figures can also be found on other sites at various prices.

Some of you may remember our previous announcement of the first round of Hatsune Miku V3 merchandise offered by COSPA.
