On March 9, 2023, Tokorozawa Sakura Town and Narita Anime Deck will sell Miku Day merchandise to commemorate the virtual diva. March 9th is usually Miku Day, since you can read three (for March) and nine to sound like “Miku.” For those who are unable to make it on the date, re-releases will appear from April 10, 2034 to May 14, 2023. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]
