NicoVideo announced that the Hatsune Miku 10th Anniversary x Nicocafe collaboration will begin this August at Nico Nico Headquarters! This unique cafe will have special foods, drinks, merchandise, and even a special workshop on Miku’s birthday!
Food and Drinks
Like with all cafes, there are many kinds of foods and drinks. Unlike most cafes, however, the refreshments at the Miku cafe are based on popular Miku songs such as Love Trial and SLoWMoTIoN!
The full list of songs serving as inspiration are:
- Love Trial
- Tale of the Deep Sea Lily
- Solitary Envy
- 2D Dream Fever
- Alien Alien
- Envy Catwalk
- Senbonzakura
- The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku
- Popipo
- Romeo and Cinderella
- Ghost Rule
- Two-Breaths Walking
- SLoWMoTIoN
- *Hello, Planet
- Dune*
As a bonus treat, each collaboration menu purchase comes with a free coaster. One design is the Hatsune Miku 10th Anniversary illustration while the others are stills from the above-mentioned songs’ PV’s.
*Dune does not include free gifts.
NicoNico’s Headquarters will have Miku songs playing on the monitors, so you can watch your favorite Miku music videos while enjoying your meal!
Merchandise
There will also be many Miku goodies up for sale! Some of the items come from Snow Miku Skytown while others are from the Don Quijote x Miku collaboration.
Three different versions of the Hatsune Miku 10th Anniversary Album「Re:Start」will be available too! From T-shirts to key chains to posters, it’s almost impossible to not get something!
Hatsune Miku Birthday Special Workshop
On August 31st (Miku’s anniversary), key members of the VOCALOID community, such as koyori, doriko, Asibuto Penta and more, will celebrate the diva’s day with a special workshop. Together, they will discuss how Hatsune Miku and Niconico’s culture developed over the past decade. The workshop will be streamed live on Niconico Live Streaming that you can view here.
This special workshop begins at 18:30 JST and is free to the public.
