Hatsune Miku and NewDays collaboration returns once again but this time with Snow Miku to support Hokkaido! The collaboration, in celebration of Hokkaido’s 150th anniversary, will be bringing a variety of Hokkaido’s specialties starting today at all NewDays, NewDays KIOSK, and KIOSK shops until August 6th. Also included are clear files upon purchases and stamp rally with various prizes.

Fans who make purchases over 700 yen from now until July 23rd will receive a limited edition clear file of Snow Miku in NewDays uniform by KEI, where a second clear file by Mame no Moto will substitute in from July 24th until the end of collaboration. This makes it the second year we’re seeing Miku in her NewDays and JR East uniforms.

A stamp rally with QR codes will also be carried out. The rewards start out small from various designs of clear files to a limited edition Shinkalion the Animation postcard (where Miku piloted a bullet train transforming robot, and yes you read that right), and eventually, a special video with the names of winners called out by Miku herself.

In celebration of the launch of the campaign today, a new music video titled “NEWDAYS” by Michita has been released featuring Hatsune Miku and a Japanese music artist “pinoko” rapping together about Hokkaido. Movie & illustration courtesy of the artist iXima himself.

Enjoy the campaign promotional video and “NEWDAYS” music video now below!

Hatsune Miku has been appointed as the PR character for the “Vegetables Day” campaign between NewDays, an in-station convenience store by East Japan Railway company, and Kewpie, Japanese food manufacturer. We all know how well Miku, leek, and vegetable juice share a long history together, but there’s more to it to this collaboration; The date “Vegetables Day” in Japan comes from how August 31st can be pronounced as “Yasai” (Vegetables) in Japanese, and it’s also the date of the world’s virtual idol’s 10th birthday this year.

From August 22nd to September 4th, purchases of products from the “Vegetables Day” campaign at NewDays totaled to 600 yen or more (tax included) will receive a special clear file of Miku in NewDays uniform illustrated by iXima. Another design in JR East uniform has also been teased, and will be available from August 31st onward. Additionally, receipts from shoppings at NewDays will come with a QR code for Hatsune Miku stamp-style images available in 5 types.

Original CM, song, and collaboration goods have also been announced, with more details due at later dates. If you find yourself a chance in Japan during the collaboration period, be sure to check out the NewDays store at JR Shinjuku Station East exit for the special wrappings!
