With just a little more than a week away, the Snow Miku 2018 site has a new update bigger than ever gaining our full attention: Four new collaborations with Kemono Friends, Animate, Lawson, and Magic Spice, three mobile game collaborations with Princess Punt Sweets, Crash Fever, and Destiny Child, forth official goods update, and so much more! We simply can’t list them all here so let’s dive in and take a look at each below!
Kemono Friends x SNOW MIKU 2018
The Snow Miku: Crane Priestess ver. will be joining hands with Kemono Friends starting from February 5th! There will be an array of official goods sales at Kemono Friends booth in the Odori Park, Sapporo Factory Hall, and various cooperating stores in Sapporo. Sales will end on February 12th or as soon as the stocks ran out.
Also announced is the special collaboration with Maruyama zoo, where you can expect panel installation of Snow Miku 2018 and Serval together by Mine Yoshizaki, collaboration goods sales in the said park, as well as collaboration annual passports. The collaboration period will end on February 27th.
(The collaboration also matches up nicely given the Snow Miku’s theme of “animals” this year)
