Ah, Hatsune Miku. It's not exactly difficult to find merch of Japan's most famous virtual superstar – in vending machines or at the country's only Sega Store, for instance – but it's about to get even easier. Later this month, a store dedicated to the turquoise-haired talent is opening in Harajuku.
Officially named 'The Hatsune Miku Store in Harajuku', the shop is set to feature exclusive merch of Miku-chan and the other Piapro characters. Not much else has been announced yet, but the good news is that this isn't a pop-up shop: fans will soon have a permanent store dedicated to their idol.
If Miku and her Piapro pals aren't enough digital delight, you're in luck. VTuber agency 'hololive production' is also in the virtual idol business and is opening its own official store on the same day as the Hatsune Miku store, and in the same building to boot. Themed decor, exclusive merch… you know the drill.
The Hatsune Miku store and 'hololive production' store both open on the fourth floor of Tokyu Plaza Omotesando on April 24. The hololive store requires a ticket lottery for the first two days of its opening – enter the lottery here.
