“TSUTEN MIKU” – Tsutenkaku Tower X Hatsune Miku Collab On Now!
This year marks the third collaboration between Magical Mirai and Tsutenkaku Tower, and the event is already in full swing! No need to worry if you haven’t checked it out yet though, the event will be continuing well into November, so make sure to head down to Osaka if you can. Tsutenkaku Tower (also known lovingly as the “Eiffel Tower of Osaka”) boats a stunning observatory and stands proud in the “Shinsekai” neighbourhood, a super cool, downtown area in Osaka, known for it’s colourful, retro look. If you’re planning a trip to Osaka, then this should definitely be somewhere on your bucket list! And what with this collaboration with Miku and Magical Mirai, there’s no better time to do it!
Tsutenkaku’s official Twitter page has been hinting at the collab since late September, such as with these tweets:
If these cryptic tweets look familiar, then you wouldn’t be wrong! The tweets are showing snippets of the official poster for Magical Mirai in Osaka for 2020, and so everyone knew what was coming next – another collab! If you’re interested in what this event is all about, then keep reading!
