Time for us to talk about some upcoming events in Japan! One of course featuring our favorite virtual diva, Hatsune Miku: Light Up Nippon Hokkaido!

A Memorial Fireworks Show!

A memorial event for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami catastrophe that destroyed Tohoku’s region in 2011, Light Up Nippon Hokkaido’s show aims to to commemorate the region’s reconstruction to this day, aiming to give those people that survived the tragedy a smile under a firework-filled sky night on August 25th.

Some of the victims are living in Hokkaido, and in order to never forget the tragedy that overwhelmed their lives, this firework night show will be held once more this year!

Connecting the Future Through Miku

With such an important event as this one, of course we’re not surprised to find out that Hatsune Miku, Japan’s most iconic virtual idol from this day, will be an honorable guest of the event.

Miku will accompany the fireworks night with her voice and songs, alongside other talented artists. No one could bring hope for the future more than the actual “First sound of the future” after all!

The fireworks show should begin at 7:20PM until 8PM (JST), and Miku’s performance will last about 20 minutes within this time span.
