Hatsune Miku is a music software developed by Crypton Future Media which enables anyone to make their computer sing by entering lyrics and melodies. As a massive number of users created music using the software and posted their works on the Internet, Hatsune Miku quickly evolved into a cultural phenomenon. Since then, Hatsune Miku has gained much attention as a character, involved in many fields such as merchandising and live performance as a virtual singer. Now her popularity has spread across the globe.
Secret Lair x Hatsune Miku: Sakura Superstar will be available to preorder starting on May 13, 2024, at 9 am PT, exclusively on the official Secret Lair website. The non-foil edition costs $29.99 while the foil edition will run $39.99. Both the foil and non-foil drops are available in English and Japanese language versions.
