Goodsmile Racing reveals the Tropical Version of the 2021 Racing Miku in a recent livestream broadcasted on their YouTube channel. Despite the absence of the overseas rounds in Super GT due to the ongoing pandemic, it is still nice to see Miku with a different look if the oversea races were to happen.

In addition, a collaboration with Super Sonico has been announced with Sonico also wearing the 2021 racing outfit. As well as a 1/18 and 1/43 scale model of the Hatsune Miku AMG the team is driving with for this season. The 1/18 scale model comes with a special acrylic casing. Both models are available for preorder from 30th March 2021 until 29th April 2021 at 1200hrs JST.

And finally, a special commemorative site has opened to celebrate the team’s 100th race in Super GT. Last year they celebrated their 100th race with the Hatsune Miku GT Project which included non-Super GT races to clarify.

We’ll share a few of our favorite illustrations from throughout the day, but feel free to check out more yourself with the #ミクの日 tag on both Pixiv and Twitter!
