A short while ago via Good Smile Racing’s nicovideo live stream, the team announced the all-new Racing Miku 2015 design, as well as an all new car for the 2015 racing season. Rather than a BMW Z4, GSR will now be using the Mercedes SLS AMG GT3. Currently, GSR does not have the actual car ready for display, so a scale model was revealed in its place.

The new Racing Miku, referred to by GSR as a “Princess Knight”, was designed by Koyama Shigeto, and illustrated by Taiki. It features an interesting design of Hatsune Miku carrying a shield with an umbrella that rolls into a lance.

Additionally, Nendoroid sponsorship courses will be opening on January 1st, much earlier than expected!

The official Good Smile Racing website has relaunched with the new info and artwork: http://www.goodsmileracing.com/

Although they’ve been released since last October, the 2015 Hatsune Miku Piapro calendars are still on stock at a few online retailers. These calendars come in two sizes, and feature 12 full illustrations by various artists, and chibi art as well.

The large calendar is A2 poster-sized (approximately 42cm X 60cm or 16.5in x 24in), and includes a set of calendar schedule stickers. If you don’t have the wall space to spare, or would prefer something smaller, there is a desktop sized version as well.

As a bonus for Good Smile Racing fans, we also found the A2 size 2015 Racing Miku calendar in stock! This calendar features 7 illustrations (cover + 6 pages) of various 2014 Racing Miku artworks. All calendars can be found from the links below. Prices vary by site. Have a happy 2015, everyone!

The Snow Miku Sky Town exhibition event started today at New Chitose airport, to the delight of many eagerly awaiting fans. Thanks to them, we have the first photos of some of the event’s attractions. Some of these include the life-sized Snow Miku statue, as well as the special Snow Miku AR stage for Hatsune Miku AhR.

Up first are some photos of the Snow Miku life-sized statue, thanks to @kno2502 and @phaius66 on twitter.

Second, we have photos of the AR stage (thanks to @phaius66), which is designed to be used with Hatsune Miku AhR to trigger a special live performance, and also unlock a special Snow Miku model! To make the performance work, you must launch the app, then go to the “info” page, then tap the “ARモード” button. Give it a few seconds to load, point it at the marker and enjoy!

Hint: Try using the photo to watch the performance on the app!

Along with the launch date, the opening commemoration events have been announced. These include:

The above events will take place at the Terminal 2F(Domestic) center plaza, while the previously announced events and exhibitions will still take place at Terminal 4F (Domestic). The hours of operation are 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM for Terminal 2F, and 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM for Terminal 4F.
