Don Quijote is once again collaborating with Piapro, and the Akihabara store will start stocking merchandise of Hatsune Miku and her fellow Vocaloid friends. The goods, which depict everyone looking like members of royalty, will appear from December 28, 2024.
So far, we don’t know what specific merchandise Don Qujiote will stock for this campaign. More information on that will appear later. As mentioned earlier, the characters look like they’re royalty or nobles in some old European kingdom. There are two versions of each character, though their general aesthetics remain the same. For example, Meiko’s outfit makes her feel older than the others, while Kaito looks like a very traditional prince. Len, on the other hand, resembles a younger and more mischievous one, whereas Luka’s fashion makes her look more like a knight.
The previous Hatsune Miku fair at Don Qujiote Akihabara took place in May 2024. This one featured the characters wearing jirai-kei clothing. Jirai-kei is a Japanese fashion subculture that recreates the look of a “jirai-kei girl,” who are emotionally volatile pick-mes who put on a cutesy front to hide their nasty personality. As part of their disguise, jirai-kei girls tend to wear very cute and feminine outfits. Their hairstyles and make-up also make them look younger or vulnerable so that others want to protect them, even though they should be protecting others from them.
More information on the new Don Qujiote Hatsune Miku fair will come out in the near future. Other recent Vocaloid collaboration merchandise include a figure of Hatsune Miku holding Cinnamoroll and Milk.
