Hatsune Miku in Namja Town 2020 ~ 2021 Event Revealed
I myself was surprised to find out that this will only be the first ever collaboration between the piapro characters and amusement park “Namja Town”! Namja Town has hosted collabs with some of the biggest names in the otaku world, so I’m excited to unveil all the exciting news about this upcoming event when it’s released! Read on to find out what we know so far~
About the event
- The theme for the event is “A date with Hatsune Miku and the gang at Namja“, which is what inspired the main visual here (art by Mika Pikazo) :
This is the visual which should be being used for the sake of a variety of collaboration merchandise goods (still to be announced!). We’ll make sure to update you when we get more info about this!
You’ll also notice the rather feline accessories of the piapro characters here… and that’s because it’s a reference to Namja Town’s mascot characters – all three of whom are cats!
And here’s the theme song for the event:
乙女＋愛のすゝめ (Otome＋Ai no Susume) – 杉下トキヤ / Sugishita Tokiya (Last Note.)
- Guitar：Last Note. & もやし (Moyashi)
- Animation: りゅうせー / Ryuusee
Hold hands with Miku and the gang!
Yes, you can hold hands with your favourite piapro character at Namja Town! Since the theme of the event is “Namja Date“, you can find cardboard cutouts of all six characters and have your photo taken holding hands with them! Don’t forget to add the hashtag #ナンジャデート if you post your photos on Twitter!
