Do you want to enjoy a cafe date with Hatsune Miku? The Japanese mobile phone company au by KDDI, which previously hosted Miku☆Sanpo at Snow Miku Festival 2017, announced their latest collaboration event: Miku☆Sanpo x Blue Leaf Cafe. The cafe is located on the 2nd floor in au SENDAI, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The event will take place for five days, starting on July 8th, 2017. The illustration for the event’s main visual was done by artist Yuzuki Kihiro (柚希きひろ).
Customers who bring their Lenovo Phab 2 Pro smartphone can enjoy a special cafe date with Hatsune Miku wearing a sailor uniform. With augmented reality (AR) technology, Miku will appear before you to chat and enjoy the meal with you!
But that’s not all! After you finish the cafe date, you can take a picture with Miku using a panel specially prepared by the Blue Leaf Cafe as a commemoration!
Visitors who don’t have the smartphone can borrow units already prepared for the event. The number of phones, of course, is very limited. And, because it may end up being crowded, it’s suggested that everyone who wants to attend should pre-register first. If there are too many registrations for the set date and time, the entries will be decided by lottery.
