A newly announced Hatsune Miku cafe “Hatsune Miku MUSIC CAFÉ” has just opened in Akihabara, where one of the main services here is an all-you-can-request music service supported by KarenT, Crypton Future Media’s own record label. Located at onion AniON STATION in Akihabara, the Hatsune Miku MUSIC CAFÉ will be up and running until October 21st.

While we’ve already announced the news across our social media, we feel it’s important our website followers also know the good news: The fake MikuHatsuneVEVO YouTube channel we previously reported has been successfully shut down!

Previous report details here → https://www.mikufan.com/help-hatsune-miku-report-the-fake-mikuhatsunevevo-youtube-channel/

Thanks to the flood of reports from fans, YouTube was finally forced into investigating Crypton Future Media’s trademark claim against the channel and finally approved the takedown. The removal was first confirmed on June 22nd, 2018.

Lastly, there’s more good news! The official Hatsune Miku YouTube channel is now verified, so this sticky mess is not likely to happen again from here on out.

Thank you everyone for your help in reporting!
