Hatsune Miku Being Used to Sell Apples
JA Tsugaru Hirosaki, an agricultural cooperative in Japan, has started shipping out its Hatsune Miku gift boxes of Sun Fuji apples, which cost 3,600 JPY ($23.80) per box. It will only deliver to addresses within Japan. The gift box, which contains nine to ten apples each, depicts Hatsune Miku standing in front of an orchard of apples. In the background, you can see Mount Iwaki. She’s holding an apple and smiling at you, with the phrase “Enjoy the delicious taste of Tsugaru!” above her. Asagao Minoru, an illustrator who worked on music videos for multiple Vocaloid songs, provided the artwork. According to an additional note on the website, the artwork imagines you as a citizen of Hirosaki, or a tourist visiting the area. It places you in the Hirosaki Apple Park, as well as in a location where you can see Mount Iwaki. This is so the illustration feels familiar to those who’ve been to the area, or who live around there. When JA Tsugaru Hirosaki first opened up pre-orders for the Hatsune Miku apple gift boxes in November 2024, it stated that it wants to encourage more people, especially those in the younger generation, to eat apples. It’s also a made-to-order online exclusive gift box, which means you can’t buy it in physical stores. The Hatsune Miku gift box of Sun Fuji apples is available for purchase via the JA Tsugaru Hirosaki website. Other collaborations for the virtual singer include one with Sanrio (Cinnamoroll) and one with Fortnite. The post Hatsune Miku Being Used to Sell Apples appeared first on Siliconera.
