The official Snow Miku 2021 website received a big update today, with a new main visual art, theme song information, themed train planning and more!

The chosen illustrator for the beautiful Snow Miku 2021 main visual art was necömi, well known for their contributions to character designs for vtubers, figures, game characters and more. It’s certainly a beautiful and festive design for the season!

It has also been announced that Heavenz will be in charge of the Snow Miku 2021 theme song. Heavenz has been involved in the Vocaloid/Virtual Singer music scene since 2008, and is well known for Rock and Ballad song styles. Notable masterpieces include “Strangers” and “Even If It’s Your Happiness“. We can’t wait to see the song they’ll create for the special occasion.

The ever-popular Snow Miku train will be returning again this year! The train is typically wrapped with the Snow Miku figma and Nendoroid designs, and can be seen making its rounds daily in central Sapporo city.

The train will be in operation from November 21st, 2020 through March 24th, 2021. The operation times are 7:0 AM ~ 6:00 PM daily.

For those wanting to experience what riding in the street train is like, there is a new “Snow Miku Train VR” experience in development! The project plans to allow you to view the photoshoot session of the train in VR, plus observe what it’s like to ride from the train driver’s seat in VR from your PC and smartphone! Futher details of the Snow Miku Train VR will be announced when it’s ready, so stay tuned.

A Snow Miku snow sculpture will be on display again next year at Odori Park from February 4th~11th. Don’t miss out on the chance to capture a photo, and enjoy the evening light shows!

The exhibition, goods booths, workshops and more have been moved to a new location for next year. Rather than the Sapporo Factory Hall, the exhibition activities will be held in Wing Bay Otaru in the nearby city of Otaru. The exhibition will be located on the 4th floor of the venue. You can locate it at the following address → 小樽市築港11番

Lastly, an Official Tour package has been announced, but so far only for domestic visitors. The package will include usual tour-exclusive goods, as well as the Snow Miku 2021 Nendoroid. Further details of the options will be announced at a later date.

The Snow Miku 2021 festival is a yearly celebration held alongside the Sapporo Snow Festival. It will be held from February 4th~11th 2021.

This weekend will be Goodsmile Racing’s 100th race with the Hatsune Miku GT Project. The team has been participating in the racing series since 2008 as a “Racing Team Driven by Fans” with their unique Personal Sponsorship System. Throughout their career, the team has won 9 races and 3 championships being one of the most successful Super GT teams in the GT300 category.

To commemorate their 100th race, a special website has been made with illustrations of every Racing Miku drawn by different illustrators.

An art gallery will be held in Tokyo and Osaka with the Racing Miku illustrations exhibited and the sale of original merchandise as well.

The exhibition will take place at the Akiba CO Gallery in Tokyo from the 20th to the 29th November, and at the Animate store at Nihonbashi in Osaka from the 28th November to 13th December.

And lastly, there will be a fanart contest in collaboration with piapro to commemorate the 100th race. The winner will get a 1/8 Scale Figure of the 2020 Racing Miku and their artwork exhibited in Tokyo and Osaka.

Until then, we wish the team good luck on their 100th race at Super GT this weekend at Fuji Speedway on the 3rd and 4th of October.
Fight, GSR!

Hatsune Miku Expo 2020 USA & Canada Officially Cancelled

It comes as unfortunate news today that Miku Expo 2020 USA & Canada has been officially cancelled. Due to several postponements, and an uncertain future caused by the spread of COVID-19 in North America and the world, it was decided that it would not be possible to create a safe environment for such an event.

Not all hope appears to be lost, as CFM appears to be working on new event ideas. Perhaps this is related to the Miku World 2021 and Miku Galaxy Live 2021 announcements we saw teased during the Galaxy Live 2020 VR concert?

Sometime within the next ~30 days, the respective ticket vendors for the cancelled events should begin accepting applications for refunds.
