Summertime with Miku and the Vocaloids
Counting down to this year’s Magical Mirai concert, Hatsune Miku and the Vocaloids will host a special festival throughout Akihabara featuring a stamp rally, a shopping campaign and a collaboration cafe.
Artists Nagishiro Mito and Tenshichi have created the main visuals for the festival, with the characters sporting cool cyberpunk outfits. To participate in the stamp rally, fans can collect stamps at select shops scattered across the area. The official website has a full list of participating shops. Collect four or more stamps, and show your stamp booklet at the Gigo Akihabara 3 arcade to receive an exclusive clear file featuring the festival artwork.
The map also pins participating stores with shopping benefits. For every ¥1000 purchased at these shops, fans will receive a random collectable card. Up to six cards can be distributed per transaction.
The restaurant 22 Curry will host a collaboration cafe with menu items inspired by the Vocaloids. Food and drink options include chicken and onion curry, meatball curry, Rin and Len’s rich cheesecake parfait, Kaito’s waffle fries, Meiko’s popcorn chicken and Miku and Luka’s swirl roll cake. Each order from the collaboration menu will also come with one random character coaster.
Akiba Fan Cube will offer a variety of merchandise, including exclusive items with the festival artwork. Goods include acrylic stands, tapestry posters, keychains, rubber bracelets, omamori charms and more. Guests who spend ¥2000 or more will receive a random sticker.
