Arma Bianca revealed that it will release new Sakura Miku merchandise by setting up multiple pop-up stores across Japan in Spring 2024. The merchandise’s main highlight will be the eponymous character, who is known for sporting pink hair as opposed to the regular Hatsune Miku’s green. However, the collection will also feature the other five prominent Vocaloids—Rin, Len, Luka, Meiko, and Kaito—with all of them wearing pink and white-colored attires.
The temporary stores will appear at six different Loft stores spread all around Japan, from the north’s Hokkaido with Sapporo to the south’s Kyushu with Fukuoka. The full schedule is as follows:
- Ikebukuro Loft in Tokyo on March 9-24, 2024
- Umeda Loft in Osaka on March 16-31, 2024
- Sakae Loft in Nagoya on April 5-25, 2024

The Spring season window Arma Bianca uses to set up these temporary stores will fit Sakura Miku’s theme. Crypton has also been known for designing Snow Miku for Winter seasons. In January 2024, Good Smile Company revealed a Harmonia Humming doll of Snow Miku that it will release in Japan in the same season the year after, or in January 2025.
The Sakura Miku pop-up stores will appear in six cities across Japan from March 2024 to May 2024.
