Hatsune Miku’s newest design iteration is finally getting its own figure! The charming Hatsune Miku V4X box art design by iXima is brought to life brilliantly in a 1/8 scale size, perfect for all Miku fans.

The cute electronic diva is back in a brand new outfit!

A 1/8th scale figure of Hatsune Miku V4X, the upgraded voice synthesizer that allows for more natural and expressive singing! The figure is based on the main illustration for Hatsune Miku V4X done by iXima which features Miku in a beautiful, elegant pose! Her youthful body line has a lovely soft appearance which contrasts against the sharp appearance of her twin-tailed hair. Be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy the charm of the all-new Hatsune Miku!

The Hatsune Miku V4X figure is available for order beginning today from Good Smile Company’s online shop, and other online sources. Preorders from GSC’s shop will close on April 6th at 9:00 PM JST, while other stores will vary. She’s scheduled to ship in January 2018, with a price of 8900 Yen ($79 USD) or less.

We’re now several weeks past the launch of Hatsune Miku’s V4X Vocaloid software release, so what’s next? A guide book on how to use that software, of course!

The first official commentary guide book on using Hatsune Miku V4X and the additional bundled software will be released November 18th. The guidebook is unfortunately being published only in Japanese for now, so this would make it a collector’s item for most western composers and fans. Hopefully we’ll see some sort of translation, official or fanmade, in the future.

The book is available for global preorder via Amazon Japan for 2592 Yen: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4845628708/

This is a guidebook about how to fully understand the newest version of of the famous Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku.

Hatsune Miku V4X includes the vocal editor “Piapro Studio”, and the center of music creation, DAW software “PreSonus Studio One 3 Piapro Edition“.

This means you can start music creation immediately with everything included in the software package.

For those wondering “But what should I do now?”, we wrote this book explaining everything from software installation, how to make your Vocaloid sing (plus advanced techniques), to the music creation process.

Additionally, we have prepared wallpaper downloads for Piapro Studio! Please enjoy music creation with these extras!

For the release of the software, another demo song using Hatsune Miku V4 English has been uploaded.
