Hatsune Miku and Don Quijote team up for new exclusive merchandise range
Hatsune Miku and Japan’s top discount store chain Don Quijote are set to launch a new range of merchandise this summer.
Don Quijote is a large Japanese discount store chain known for its wide array of products, from groceries to electronics and character goods, making it a common venue for such pop culture collaborations.
Starting from early July, fans will be able to pick up the new Hatsune Miku/Piapro Characters “Full Power Smile!” merchandise range from Don Quijote stores across Japan, as well as through a dedicated online sales channel.
Miku will be joined by her friends, who are collectively often referred to as “Piapro Characters”.
The Piapro Characters are a collection of virtual singers developed by Crypton Future Media, primarily recognized through Hatsune Miku, a voice synthesizer software persona who has transcended technology to become a global pop culture icon.
Her fellow “Vocaloids” (or Crypton’s Piapro Characters) include Kagamine Rin & Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO, and KAITO.
Miku and friends frequently collaborate with various brands, expanding their presence in merchandise and engaging their dedicated fanbase.
Another recent collaboration saw a range of exclusive Piapro and Sanrio Characters merchandise go on sale at convenience store chain FamilyMart.
Original Illustrations for the new “Full Power Smile!” merchandise have been created by artist Akamoku.
The artwork features Hatsune Miku and her fellow Piapro Characters depicted with vibrant, energetic smiles.
A unique detail in the new illustrations is the smiley face patches integrated into the characters’ outfits, reinforcing the cheerful theme.
The collection includes a wide range of items designed to bring a smile to fans faces:
