SEGA’s arcade prize branch has recently teased several new Hatsune Miku figure and plushie designs, which are scheduled for future release at arcades and entertainment centers in Japan.

The first item on the list is a prototype sculpture for the “White Dress” module from the Project Diva series. Since this one is still in prototype phase, it will likely be some months before we see a release. Accompanying this figure is a FuwaFuwa series Hatsune Miku plushie with the same dress, which will likely be released to arcades within the coming weeks. The exact date has still not been mentioned.

Finally, a new trio of miniature Hatsune Miku plushies has been announced with a new set of expressions. Since these have already finished design phase, they may also be released to arcades quite soon. Keep an eye out for them!

Plushie maker GIFT has announced a special Mid-Autum Festival version Hatsune Miku plushie for events in China later this year! The plushie is based on the design by the well-known Chinese illustrator Rella.

One of the first events you can find her at happens to be the Shanghai location of MIKU WITH YOU 2018, so this is good news for overseas Miku fans attending the event! The plushie will be available at Good Smile Company’s booth at the exhibition on October 27th~28th.

Additionally, the plushie will be available at CICF EXPO 2018 on October 1st~5th, if you happen to be in that area at the time. Preorders will also be available from September 22nd~24th at the Shanghai Animate store.

SEGA has announced three new additions to their keychain series of Hatsune Miku plushies, which they suitably call the “Nesoberu” (Laying down) series. Three adorable Hatsune Miku plushies, each with unique expressions and just 12cm tall, will be released to arcades and prize machines across Japan in the 1st week of August 2018.

This means the release will be just in time for Magical Mirai 2018. So if you’re planning to visit for the event, or happen to live there, be sure to stop by the local arcades for your shot at winning one! If you can’t make it to Japan, these plushies usually also become available through online retailers and resellers.

It’s time to announce the results of our 10th anniversary giveaway contest! We quized 4 difficult questions with the theme of Snow Miku, and we received more entries than our last giveaway. Here’s our contest winners!

-= Snow Miku 2018 Plushie Winner =-
SayakaMiku Lover

-= Hatsune Miku Tapestry by TID =-
ReaperDrone43

Congratulations to the two winners, and thank you to everyone that participated! We’ll review the questions below for those curious of the answers:

LamazeP’s popular song “Love Song” was performed live at Snow Miku Live 2018, but which Miku event in Sapporo did LamazeP himself first appear at? (Please provide event name and year!)
LamazeP first made a public appearance at a Miku event in Sapporo with the “MikuPa 2011 in Sapporo” event!

Which year did Snow Miku first serve as ambassador for the Sapporo Snow Festival?
This one is a bit tricky, as Snow Miku was first adopted as a Sapporo Snow Festival ambassador around mid-2011, but didn’t serve the role until the Snow Festival of 2012.

Which year did Snow Miku first collaborate with the popular amusement center Sugai Dinos in Sapporo?
This was a difficult one, as I recently learned about this during my visit to Snow Miku 2018! Advertisements playing on the street featured Miku announcing that this was her 5th year collaborating with Sugai Dinos, meaning the collaboration started in 2014!

When and where did the popular “Snow Miku Hair Christmas Tree” appear?
There was some flexibility with this answer! The tree appeared in New Chitose Airport on December 6th, 2014, but wasn’t removed until February 2015. So “New Chitose Airport 2014” or “New Chitose Airport 2015” were both valid answers! Kudos to those who got the exact starting date!
