In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Crypton Future Media has been actively carrying out online projects that provide Miku fans with the same enjoyment that they’ve come to expect from the company while practicing social distancing. The recent Hokkaido Wherever You Are Bon Odori presented by Rabbit Yukine and HATSUNE MIKU Digital Stars 2020 Online DJ show are some examples of this.
Furthermore, Crypton Future Media is credited for developing the open-system Risk Notification System back in May, 2020. The system can also be used for COVID-19 infection prevention, and is being utilized by many local governments in Hokkaido and beyond. It can be said that Crypton is a company that has learned to adapt to the Coronavirus age and has played proactive roles in promoting public safety. With this in mind, Miku’s appointment as a Corona Prevention Supporter seems like the next logical step.
