Can you imagine a world where Hatsune Miku gives daily traffic update reports? Thanks to a collaboration between Vocaloid producer “TakaP” and illustrator “bob“, along with some Live2D software magic, we can now enjoy what that would be like.

Using bob’s recent Live2D model submission, TakaP had some fun creating a parody traffic report broadcast, based upon a real broadcast by “bayfm Traffic Updates”. There’s even English closed captions. Enjoy the original video below!

Today’s the day for the big reveal of next year’s Snow Miku street car! Twitter is already flooding with images from excited fans and visitors wanting a sneak peek, and we even have photos from Good Smile Company of the new Figma and Nendoroid, also on display inside the streetcar! The streetcar will begin its operation tomorrow (November 21st), and run until March 26th.

Now we also know that a Snow Miku 2017 module will be added to Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Arcade (and likely the PlayStation 4 version as DLC). Snow Mikudayo was also present to give her blessings for the snowcar introduction. Below is a gallery provided by a friend (thank you again!).
