After what has seemed like an eternity in Internet years, we have finally updated the site to a more modern theme, along with an all new header artwork by the illustrator Gumo on Pixiv. We’re very thankful for his contribution!

The update brings some speed and compatibility improvements, as well as an improved mobile user experience (we’re still working on making the header image resize properly, sorry!). Also added is a new “Submit News Suggestion” page from the navigation bar. All of this should make for an easier and richer media experience for both our writers and visitors.

MikuFan.com was first launched on March 4th, 2008, and featured the same artwork and theme up until now. Thanks again for supporting MikuFan for all these years!

The diva and the goddess, Hatsune Miku, has made an appearance in a popular RPG mobile app “Brave Frontier” for a limited time period, under a collaboration title “Songstress of Light”. Players will be able to freely meet and engage in battle against Miku in Vortex dungeon, facing her as the final boss “Diva Hatsune Miku”.
 
The game will also feature Miku Expo theme song, Sharing The World by ELEKI/BIGHEAD, as the boss BGM. Despite the collaboration title, Miku is an earth-type unit. Players will be able to acquire her as their unit by winning against her in the dungeon, but be alerted that she is strong.
 
The collaboration starts at October 9th, 07:00 PST and ends at October 20th, 06:59 PST. At level 60, players have a choice to evolve Diva Hatsune Miku to Goddess Hatsune Miku, which is Hatsune Miku Append in appearance.

It is always an interesting and fun to make new connections and friends within the Vocaloid community. Especially on an international level. That’s what makes the community so awesome!

So Mikufan is proud to announce two new site partners. Both of which offer something unique and enjoyable for everyone.

Mikustar is a relatively new fansite that started out aimed at the Canadian fanbase. But the owner Scott has recently broadened his reach to become a North American fansite. You’ll find updates on news, character bios, and also unique art done specially for Mikustar. So go check them out!

The second newest partner is Tokiko’s Diary Sapporo, which is a Japanese blog written by a user living directly in Sapporo. The hometown of Hatsune Miku herself! The site is in Japanese, but she offers a translation button to help with understanding what the articles are about. You’ll find interesting picture stories on daily activities such as cooking, TV broadcasts, outdoor expeditions, etc. But all done using her cute Nendo figurines, and various accessories.

You can find the sites listed on the right under “Partner Sites”, making browsing between sites a simple one click process. I’m proud to make these connections, and I hope everyone enjoys what both sites have to offer!

Well, something like that. To keep things short and sweet, I’ll just quickly introduce myself.

I simply go by the name of jrharbort (no, not Junior) and I’ve been a very happy member of the Vocaloid community for almost 4 years now.

Thanks to rather unusual and funny circumstances, I have been invited by Erik to be a contributor to this site. The details of which can be read in the comments of the previous post.  A surprising twist indeed, but a happy one.

Starting today, I’ll be taking on the responsibility of  a news writer for the site. Thank you very much to the people of Mikufan for the opportunity, and I hope everyone else watching will enjoy what I have to contribute.

Just don’t touch the leeks, and we should all get along just fine. =P
