Hatsune Miku’s Sanrio Collab Returns with Exclusive New Chocolate Mint Collection
FamilyMart has officially launched a third wave of exclusive goods based on the Piapro Characters x Sanrio Characters collaboration, offering fans a new summer-themed collection to pick up.
Piapro Characters is Crypton’s lineup of virtual singers that includes Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO and KAITO, with the group remaining one of Japan’s most recognizable music and character franchises through games, concerts, merchandise and fan-created works.
Hatsune Miku and friends are no strangers to collaborations with other brands, and there are regular releases of new merchandise lines based on these collabs, such as the ongoing team-up with ukiyo-e legend Katsushika Hokusai, which recently expanded to include all 6 Piapro Characters for the first time.
This latest collaboration is the first new FamilyMart collection featuring the crossover since June 2025, when the second wave was released.
The previous campaign included a variety of collectible items, such as acrylic stands and clear cards, illustrated by Uekura Eku.
For this newest release, illustrator Peppermint has created an entirely new set of exclusive artwork built around a sweet chocolate mint theme, with each Piapro Character paired alongside a Sanrio favorite while wearing matching ribbons.
The featured character pairings include Hatsune Miku with Cinnamoroll, Kagamine Rin with Pompompurin, Kagamine Len with Bad Badtz-Maru, Megurine Luka with My Melody, MEIKO with Pochacco and KAITO with Tuxedo Sam.
The first item in the collection is an Acrylic Stand, priced at ¥1,760 (approx. $12 USD / £9 GBP), featuring Hatsune Miku and Cinnamoroll together in the new chocolate mint-themed illustration, making it the showcase item of the collaboration.
The second is a set of Carabiner Keychains, priced at ¥935 (approx. $6 USD / £5 GBP), available in six randomly distributed/blind boxed designs, with one version dedicated to each of the six Piapro Characters and their matching Sanrio partner.
The Piapro Characters x Sanrio Characters FamilyMart collaboration launched on July 10, 2026, with the exclusive merchandise available at selected FamilyMart stores across Japan while stocks last.
As with all FamilyMart exclusive collaborations, the collection will only be available through participating FamilyMart locations.
