The world is hers, and so is this store. Hatsune Miku merch could already be found sprinkled about the city (including even in vending machines), but this newly opened space in Harajuku is one dedicated solely to the Vocaloid singer and her Piapro pals.
The store sells a myriad of products featuring Miku-chan, ranging from standard items like figurines and plushies (from ¥3,000)…
… to the somewhat left-of-centre Miku-chan chapstick (¥770)…
… to the downright silly Hatsune Miku leek curry (¥880), in reference to the iconic meme – if you know, you know.
The rest of the Piapro characters get some love too, with plenty of items starring Rin, Len, Luka, Meiko and Kaito – think figurines, keychains and tin badges, but sadly no curry.
For a bit of virtual variety, head to the store right next door by VTuber agency 'hololive production', which specialises in the virtual entertainment business. Like the Miku store, this place is also newly opened, but unlike the Miku store, it requires you to queue with a numbered ticket for entry. If you're not interested in queues (or VTubers), stick with Miku-chan: she won't let you down.
'The Hatsune Miku Store in Harajuku' is located on the fourth floor of Tokyu Plaza Omotesando, open from 11am to 8pm daily.
