In collaboration with Kitsunezuka Bicycle Workshop, AHS is creating a bike based on Yukari’s color scheme. The bike is available in several frame sizes and will be sold for 100,000 Yen. Expect reservations to open in January and end in early March 2016. More information can be seen on the official project page.
Yukari Shoulder Keyboard
YAMAHA and AHS are collaborating to create a Yuzuki Yukari shoulder keyboard. It’s colored in purple, following Yukari’s color palette. Ishiguro Chihiro and Ogata Tomohide (AHS CEO) gave a demo of the keyboard on the live stream.
Not only can you play music with it but also you can input song text into the keyboard and play Yukari’s singing voice real-time using the keyboard’s tuts.
The release date and price are still unknown.
Merchandise Featuring a New Illustration
A new illustration made by Yuzuki Yukari’s official illustrator Juu Ayakura was drawn to commemorate Yukari’s 4th anniversary. Called “Winter Beauty 2015 Collection” in the live stream, the illustration will be used for several new pieces of Yukari merchandise made by VOCALOMAKETS.
These include a tablet case and an etched crystal display called “Yukari Crystal” that comes equipped with LED lights to light it.

A new “Mamama Type” Yuzuki Yukari MMD Model will be released and distributed for free. It was shown at the live stream via a short PV made by Brother-P. The distribution date is currently unknown but it will be released as soon as possible.
Collaboration with Memanbetsu Airport
The live stream also has made mentions of the Yuzuki Yukari collaboration with Memanbetsu Airport, an airport located in Ozora Town, East Hokkaido. She is the airport’s mascot.
There are several pieces of merchandise such as a clear file that people can buy at the airport and there’s even a special coaster set which will be given to customers who spend 1,000 Yen at the restaurants there. For more information, check out the collaboration page.
