Snow Miku vending machines to be installed in Sapporo
Two new “Snow Miku” themed vending machines are set to be installed at “moyuk SAPPORO”, a shopping centre in Chuo Ward, Sapporo.
Crypton Future Media Inc., the creators of Hatsune Miku, are headquartered in Sapporo and the two vending machines will be installed just a short distance from their main office.
The Snow Miku vending machines will begin operation on the 16th of October, with an unveiling ceremony planned to take place at 10:00am on the same day.
The installation of the two vending machines comes as part of the Hokkaido e-Water Project – a three-way collaboration between Hokkaido, the Hokkaido Environment Foundation, and Hokkaido Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Ltd., to protect the water environment in Hokkaido.
The Hokkaido e-Water Project supports organizations working to protect the water environment in the prefecture and Snow Miku has been serving as the ambassador for the Hokkaido e-Water Project since April 2024, with an original illustration by artist “Fukahire” having been commissioned to promote the project.
Snow Miku herself will be making an appearance at the unveiling ceremony and will stick around for photo opportunities afterwards.
The Snow Miku vending machines will sell two sizes of I LOHAS Natural Mineral Water, with a portion of all sales being donated to the Hokkaido e-Water Project.
If you plan to visit the unveiling ceremony, head to the 2nd basement floor of “moyuk SAPPORO” at 10:00am on the 16th of October.
Snow Miku is scheduled to appear at the following times around the unveiling ceremony: 10:45-11:15 and 11:30-12:00
From the 17th of October, the two Snow Miku vending machines will be moved from the 2nd basement floor to the second floor and basement floor of “moyuk SAPPORO”.
