Hatsune Miku Musical Box

November 12, 2008

scan

A scan featuring a number of Vocaloid related products which are going to be released in the near future. Most of us have seen and known the news on the Good Smile Racing stickers and Nendoroid Kaito. So the part that interests me, of course, is the Hatsune Miku Musical Juke Box ^^

miku

I don’t know if we’ll get the chance to order those, but they are scheduled for December 2008 release by Sega. Looks like the one with Hatchune Miku will play the “Levan Polkka” tune. As for the normal Hatsune Miku, can’t really read the title. Maybe a Miku fan can help me identify it ^^;
