Following the press release in October, the very first Hatsune Miku-themed car is getting some new updates today. The main visual for the collaboration project is now out, and comes from the artist Kamogawa, who illustrated the CD jackets of the Vocaloseasons album presented by EXIT TUNES.

In addition to the main visual release, we now have a lead on the release date – Spring 2018. For fans who wish for an early look at the real deal, the exhibition for the Daihatsu Move Canbus Hatsune Miku Ver. has been announced for Sapporo Motor Show 2018, which is to be held at at Sapporo Dome on January 19th~21st, 2018. Be sure to drop by if you’re visiting Japan during those times!

Step aside, Snow Miku! This time Hatsune Miku herself is getting her own themed car in the latest Daihatsu collaboration. For the 2018 Hatsune Miku X Daihatsu collab, the Daihatsu Move Canbus is getting the touch-up treatment to add bits of Hatsune Miku styling (specifically, that of KEI’s original Miku V2 design) to the vehicle’s interior and exterior.

For exterior accents, there’s the hood stripe decal in the shape of Miku’s tie, door mirror decal matching Miku’s “01” tattoo, rear quarter glass decal matching the pattern on Miku’s boots, fuel cap decal with Miku’s silhouette, and a rear emblem honoring Miku’s 10th anniversary.

For the Move Canbus’ interior touches, you’ll find even more customizations: steering wheel covers, shift lever covers, seat belt pads, rear seat floor mats, and seat covers!

Further details about the car’s availability and pricing is still to be announced, and Daihatsu will be posting updates on the official collaboration site, as well as the official Facebook page.

Daihatsu has previously collaborated with Snow Miku for the Mira Cocoa (2014) and Cast Activa (2016). Perhaps we’ll see a new Hatsune Miku x Daihatsu collaboration every 2 years? For those curious, the Move Canbus is classified as a “KEI” type car, and isn’t legal for use in the United States, and possibly other countries.
