Happy 150th anniversary, Hokkaido! It has been 150 years since the northern island region of Japan, Hokkaido, was given its name. The Hokkaido region is also home to the city of Sapporo, which is Hatsune Miku’s home town!

To celebrate the 150th anniversary, the “Hokkaido 150th Year Project” has been launched by various companies, groups, municipalities, etc, to help plan out the further development of Hokkaido for the next 50 years. One of the partner companies is, of course, Crypton Future Media!

While the details on CFM’s involvement is not yet known, they have released two new Snow Miku visual artworks, which “will appear in various scenes in the future”. Snow Miku is Crypton Future Media’s mascot of choice when it comes to partnerships and collaborations in the Hokkaido region.

The first main visual art features an adorable Snow Miku and Rabbit Yukine illustrated by Yuzuki Kihiro! The second sub-visual art is a more simplistic style illustration by Nekosumi! We’re hoping further details of this partnership will be announced at a later date.

MikuFan.com turned 10 years old today! All the way back on March 4th, 2008, MikuFan.com opened to serve as a leading source of Hatsune Miku news and resources for overseas fans. And to this day, it’s still the longest running overseas news page dedicated to the digital songstress.

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, and thank our followers for your continued support, we’re hosting another giveaway! This time we’re going to be offering a Snow Miku 2018 plushie from the recent Snow Miku festival in Sapporo, along with a gorgeous tapestry illustrated by TID (68x93cm size). But you can only choose one of the prizes!

The quiz for this giveaway will test how much you know about Snow Miku! We’ll keep the quiz open until 12:00 AM PST on March 9th (Miku Day), or until both prizes have been claimed by the winners. We’ll contact the winners by email, so watch your inboxes for an email to see if you’ve won! Good luck!
