Due to the postponement of Coachella until October, it was announced last week that the MIKU EXPO 2020 tour dates in USA and Canada would likewise be rescheduled.
Following recent developments and in consideration of the safety and well-being of Miku's fans and touring staff amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, #MIKUEXPO2020 USA & Canada is in the process of being rescheduled. https://t.co/dOxO6KY4N0pic.twitter.com/NfSDfgGx3F
Thankfully, today, the new dates have finally been announced, and it has also been confirmed that tickets that were already purchased can be used for the new dates!

The next part of the โMiku and Kaito and the Smart- puppetsโ event is in full swing, with even more new cards to collect! I’ve been grinding through levels to see what’s in store for us, so here I’ll explain exactly what you can do throughout the duration of it. I’ve also included the second half of the dialogue translations from between Miku and Kaito at the end of the article!
In terms of the event missions, the levels that you worked on in the first half of the event are still there, so you can continue to progress through them if necessary! When you look on the events section in the “mission list”, you’ll see that there are new achievements to complete! Objectives include:
-Completing the event levels without having to revive yourself
-Defeating a certain amount of normal bosses
-Finishing the EX boss level
-Finishing the EX Boss level with a deck with less than 10 cards
Completing these will give you clothing items, accessories or magical items, Mikucoins, “Angel Jyakushi” shards or red box gacha tickets (I’ll talk more about those later!)
Once you finish the last level (level 3-4), you’ll have access to the “EX boss” mission for 30 minutes. During these thirty minutes, you can try the most difficult level, which is the only level which continually gives you box gacha tickets. After 30 minutes, this mission banner will disappear, and you’ll have to clear level 3-4 again to reactivate it.
I definitely recommend collecting as many of each clothing item/accessory/magical item as possible, because then you can use copies of them to rank up one of them and make them stronger!
New gacha available
For this half of the event, we have five different types of gacha to try!
-The first gacha at the top is a three-option gacha, so you can choose one option depending on how many Mikucoins you have. The button on the left is one pull only, and it costs you 3 Mikucoins. You can do this one only once a day, and it only gives you one card per pull. The button in the middle is a one pull option too, but you can play it as many times per day as you want, and it costs 5 Mikucoins per pull. If you one of the regular golden gacha tickets, you can use that for one pull using the middle button instead. On the far right we have the third option, which gives you 10 cards plus one extra โthe best value out of all three types here. You should get at least one SSR with this gacha, and it costs 50 Mikucoins.
-Our second one is the free gacha, which gives each player the opportunity to do one “10 cards +1 extra” pull without paying anything. These free gacha have pretty good rates for SSRs and SSR+ cards, so don’t forget to try this one.
-Thirdly, we have a gacha which requires specific tickets that you have to buy in the online store. You only get one pull for this, but thereโs a high probability for SSR+cards. I’ll explain about how to get these tickets in a moment.
-Following this one, we have a gacha which requires a different type of specific ticket. However with this one, you should get no less than an SSR with your pull.
And here are the main cards you’ll be aiming to get with these gacha:
ใ่ธๆฐๆฉ้ขใจๆญฏ่ปใฎ่กใ/ “Town of Steam Engines and Cogs” (Jyouki-kikan to haguruma no machi) – SSR+
Top tip: add any of these cards to your deck during this event (especially as the leader card), and you’ll get a boost of power during missions, and your overall score will be higher!
But those aren’t the only gacha Mikucolle has for us! Lastly we have the Box Gacha, which uses those red box gacha tickets I mentioned earlier.
On this screen is box no.1 out of 7, and each box has at least 12 items within it. Each item within the box can be redeemed once, so you need 12 tickets to finish box one. Then you move onto box 2, which has 13 items, etc. etc. Now I’ll show you whatโs in each box:
(Boxes 2 to 6 all have the same items in them).
As well as getting the steampunk-themed clothing items, there are special cards to collect too:
Items (left to right): Mechanical Bird (right hand item) โ ranks up to level 5 Antique Telescope (right hand item) โ ranks up to level 5 Antique Key (left hand item) โ ranks up to level 5
Now I’ll explain how to earn these white box gacha tickets. In the Event (ใคใใณใ) section of the Mission List (ใใใทใงใณใชในใ) , youโll find white tickets with red writing, which you can earn using the methods I outlined previously.
All of these white Box Gacha tickets need to be exchanged into red box gacha tickets in the “Exchange Shop” (ไบคๆๆ). 100 red tickets give you just one white ticket, which can actually be used for the box gacha shown. So for example, you’ll need 1200 white box gacha tickets just to get through Box 1.
So to get enough box gacha tickets, you’ll have to try and complete all of the relevant missions, and then grind in the EX Boss level to get more.
New packs in store!
In other news, we also have more new packs to buy with real-life money.
-One โAt least an SSRโ Mikufest first half gacha (for the โAt least SSRโ gacha from earlier).
Note: you can buy each of these packs a maximum of 10 times.
The last aspect of this event is as follows: when you play an event mission, the points you earn will help you get a rank. Youโll be placed in a leaderboard amongst other players, and some of the highest ranked will get this card:
ใ็ดใฎใใใซๅบใใไธ็ใ/ “A world unfolding on paper” (Kami no ue ni hirogaru sekai) – SSR+
The top 100 players in the rankings will be able to get at least one of these cards!
Thank you for reading my summary of the current Mikucolle event! This event will be running until the 16th March 13:59 JST, so there’s still time to finish it! I’m sure we’ll have more updates soon, so keep your eyes on our social media pages to find out what’s happening next.
37. Miku: Ooh, I wonder if you haven’t become rather meek yourself, Kaito.
38. Kaito: I may have become a little meek but… ugh… there’ll never be an end to this kinda stuff, I guess.
39. Miku: So Kaito, what do you think?
40. Kaito: Well there’s no data to work from, right?
41. Miku: I wonder where it is… that data.
42. Kaito: I thought about it too, I mean, you said it yourself. There are enemies in the security circuit in the central analytical engine which haven’t been detected.
43: Miku: I didn’t say that they were enemies necessarily… but yeah.
44. Kaito: You’re the No.1 genius engineer in the town, Miku. That’s something that everyone acknowledges, so there will be no mistakes in your analysis.
45. Kaito: If what you say is true.
46. Miku: If what I say is true?
47: Kaito: A place that you can’t see… there’s nothing outside the steam powered engine that you know of?
50: Kaito: Hey, welcome back Ornith! Thanks for your hard work running these errands for me
51: Ornith: *fushuu*
52. Miku: Eh, Kaito, what does Ornith want?
53: Kaito: Mm, I asked him to take this and fly around the town centre with it.
54. Miku: Oooh, it’s so pretty! …Is it a gemstone?
55. Kaito: It looks like an amethyst, but the chemical makeup of it is different. It’s a much rarer type of crystal.
56. Kaito: For example, I’ve been thinking that if there is this something like that in the middle of the town, that would result in the area surrounding it looking kinda distorted or warped, right?
57. Miku: …yeah?
58. Kaito: This crystal will react with the distortion and form a needle shaped-substance inside.
59. Kaito: So to speak, I wonder if the sharp substance could carve up the afterimage of the distortion of space and result a projected time machine…
60. Miku: I don’t really understand, but that sounds amazing!
61. Kaito: It’s pretty cool! With this mission, we can’t even overlook a kitten with its sly steps!
62. Miku: Nevermind that. Then what? What else do you have to say about this gemstone?
63. Kaito: There’s a huge machine which warps time – the Giant Clock.
64. Miku: What even is that?
65. Kaito: A machine which isn’t connected to the town’s circuits… but because the Giant Clock can’t move, it continually multiplies itself.
66. Miku: So you’re saying… that the nucleus of the analytical engine wasn’t under surveillance and we have a situation where this clock thing will just keep multiplying itself?
67. Kaito: Uhh, when you boil it all down…-
68: Miku: That’s a pretty dangerous clock!
69. Kaito: Right, well we’d better stop said clock then!
Hello, Tanudama here! We hope that everyone has enjoyed Miku Day! Of course, mobile game “Mikucolle” has something for its players too so that we can continue to celebrate this important day… by trying our luck with gacha!
The opening screen is reasonably promising… (Art by Peta).
There is a short Miku Day event running from March 8th to March 12th, finishing just before the first half of the current “Miku and Kaito and the Smart- Puppets” event. During this time period, you’ll get 5 Mikucoins for logging in, which when added to the 3 Mikucoins from the current Mikufest event (running until March 16th), gives you 8 free Mikucoins a day when you log in!
Hatsune Miku-only gacha
The main attraction for this event is the Miku-only gachas available! There are three altogether, and they look like this:
As always, I’ll explain how each one works!
-With the first banner shown, we have a gacha which needs 100 Mikucoins for a 10+ 1 extra gacha pull. From one pull you’ll get at least SR cards, and you’re guaranteed at least one SSR+ from it. Plus, all cards gained from this come with rank and level maxed out already! The rate for SSR+ cards is pretty high in comparison to other gacha, so I can understand why it’s so expensive.
-The second Miku day gacha is a three way type, so there are three different options for playing it. The first button on the far left is a one pull only option, and it costs 3 Mikucoins. You can only do this one once a day though. The middle button is a one pull gacha too, but there’s no limit to how many times you can play it, and it costs 5 Mikucoins per pull. lastly is the third option, which gives you 10 cards plus one extra, so it’s the best value for money our of the three. You should get at least one SSR with this gacha, and it costs 50 Mikucoins per pull.
-And finally we have everyone’s favourite gacha: the free gacha! That means you’re able to do a full “10 cards + 1 extra” type of pull without paying anything. It’s a great way to add some sneaky rare cards to your collection without having to grind for Mikucoins or spend real money!
And here are the featured cards you’ll be trying to win:
ใๅบๅ๏ผๆญฃ็พฉใฎใใชใผในใฌใผใซใ/ “Move out! Police girl of justice” (Shuddou! Seigi no Poriisu Gaaru) – SSR+
Note: both of these packs can only be bought from the store once, and they are available until 12th March 2020.
Although there’s not a huge amount to do in this event, it’s definitely a very cute way to celebrate Miku no Hi (Miku Day). Good luck with the gacha if you try them!
Hello everyone, Tanudama here! And I’m here to excitedly present the freshly announced merchandise available at the Sakura Miku x Goodsmile x Animate Cafรฉ to you. If you’d like to know specific details about the collaboration, you can read the main article here.
Without further ado, let me unveil the merch…
In the first box at the top, we can see the “big acrylic stands” for ยฅ1,600 (about ยฃ12 GBP / $15 USD). They feature the art of from ่ณ้ใตใฏ, Naoto and ใใใใใใ (Sakura Shiori) respectively. They will be roughly 15cm x 12cm, so they are indeed reasonably big.
Second on the list of merch are the “trading can badges”. And we all know what that means… it means that you won’t be able to choose which one you want, since they’ll be blind bagged. For the badges, we have two of each Cryptonloid (12 badges altogether), with half of them based of the illustration by ็ซ้ญ /Neko Sakana, and the other half from that of ใคใใใพใใคใฟ / Tsurushima Tatsumi. Let’s hope that we’ll have good luck when us Vocasphere reporters go there ourselves! These are ยฅ400 each (about ยฃ3 GBP / $4 USD) and each badge is about 5.6cm in diameter.
Now in the top left corner, we have a Sakura Miku lunchbox! In delicate pastel pink and white, we have a practical item that can be used to rekindle your memories of this Sakura Miku cafรฉ collaboration. This costs ยฅ1,600 too, it’s about 20.5 x 9 x 6 cm in size, is made of polypropylene and has a motif of ็ฆใใคใญ (Fuku Kitsune)’s Miku illustration . As well as getting the lunchbox, you’ll also be gifted with one of six Sakura Miku- only trading can badges! Again, since they’re trading can badges, you won’t be able to choose which one you want exactly, but they’re all cute either way. To top it all off, you’ll also get a set of five prawn-flavoured senbei (rice crackers).
To the right of the lunchbox are the “acrylic portraits”, of which there are ones for every commissioned artist (่ณ้ใตใฏ, ็ถฟ / Men (Attaka Taoru Men), ใใใใใใ (Sakura Shiori), ็ฆใใคใญ (Fuku Kitsune), Naoto, ใคใใใพใใคใฟ / Tsurushima Tatsumi and ็ซ้ญ / Neko Sakana. They’re actually pretty big at A4 size, and they cost ยฅ700 per portrait (about ยฃ5 GBP / $7 USD).
In the bottom left corner, you an see the designs for the “uchiwa” fans, which are fans that people tend to use in the summer to keep cool. You can get one with either the illustration from ่ณ้ใตใฏ, ็ถฟ / Men or ็ฆใใคใญ (Fuku Kitsune). Like the portraits, these are ยฅ700 each, but they come in a size of 11.2 cm x 13.4 cm.
As our last item we have the acrylic drink stirrers! At the top they have small illustration of ็ซ้ญ / Neko Sakana’s Miku, Rin, Len, Luka, Meiko and Kaito, depending on which one you buy. Each one is about 17 cm in length, with the illustrated part being around 3.5 cm in diameter, and they’ll set you back by ยฅ800 per portrait (about ยฃ6 GBP / $8 USD).
(Note: all prices include tax!)
But there’s something else I’m particularly excited about… and it’s the new campaign the cafรฉ will have!
Okay… so here’s what you have to do to be in with the chance of winning one of ten Sakura Miku happi (a traditional japanese straight- sleeved coat, typically worn to festivals).
Take a photo of the menu, merchandise or store when you’re there.
Upload the photo to social media and show it to a member of staff in- store so that they can verify it.
Fill in the application form that they give you. Once you’ve filled out the details on the form, you can post it into their application forms box.
. Once the collaboration cafe is finished, the winners will be drawn by a lottery. There will be five winners from each store, making ten winners altogether.
(Note: you’ll need to fill in your details in japanese, and potentially have a japanese address to use so that they can send you the prize if you win).
I think that that’s just about everything we need to know about the collabo cafรฉ before it opens in March! For more information about the design competition that they held for the menu items, feel free to read about it here, and to see what the menu items will look like in real life, you can read our overview here!
We hope that everyone who manages to go there has an amazing time, and we’ll make sure to gather as many photos as possible when we go ourselves!
I’ve been excited about this particular cafรฉ collabo for a while, and now I can finally show you what the final menu for it looks like – including real-life examples of the food! Can’t wait to see? Well let’s check it out then!
(For more information about the cafรฉ, as well as the menu item competition from last year, check out these links):
-On the first menu sheet, we can see ใใใใพ ‘s (Gurukuma’s) โSakura Miku O-Hanami Bentoโ, and we can see that it contains white rice and scrambled egg, “Sakura Denpu” (pink fish floss, which is finely shredded, seasoned fish which is coloured pink, wieners in the shape of octopuses, cheese, tomato, vegetable-filled tamagoyaki (rolled omelette), karaage (deep fried) chicken, lettuce, ham and edamame beans! As shown in the image, the bento comes in a pretty little box, and the lid has one of the official cafe collaboration illustrations on it! – ยฅ1,000 (all prices include tax). (Art by ่ณ้ใตใฏ)
-Next is the adaptation of Zuu‘s โSakura Miku Full Bloom Chazukeโ! This one certainly looks fancy, and it consists of white rice, salmon, salmon flakes, “Yurine” (or “lily bulb”, an edible bulb which is said to be crunchy and sweet), spring onion, “Shibazuke” (Kyoto- style chopped vegetables, pickled in salt with red shiso leaves) and tea. As well as this, there is salt pickled sakura in a small dish, as well as dashi (a japanese soup stock), nori (seaweed) and “arare” (roasted mochi pieces). You’ll pour the tea over the rice to finish preparing this delicious dish! – ยฅ1,100
-Third Down the menu is the โMiku-san Green Sobaโ, originally designed by ใญใ (Kino)! Here we have “Cha-soba” (buckwheat soba noodles infused with green tea), spring onion, wakame (a softer type of seaweed) and “Yaki Kama” (grilled fish collar). It also appears to have an edible (?) motif of Miku on top! – ยฅ1,000
-The final item on this page is the perfectly recreated “Meiko Burger”, designed by ๅคๆใปใใ (Yoake Hoshiko). It’s a cheeseburger with a red-coloured bun and a Meiko flag on top! There are also potato wedges and lettuce on the side, as well as Meiko’s name written in ketchup on the plate. – ยฅ1,000
-Up next is โLukaโs Seafood Plateโ from ใตใใผใใ (Felis)! For this you can expect seafood “tarako” pasta (“tarako” meaning cod roe), tuna on bruschetta bread, clam chowder and lettuce. A must-try for seafood fans at ยฅ1,100.
-Kagamine-themed sandwiches anyone? ใคใใ (Yamane) designed the โRin and Len Getting-Along Picnic Combo”, with two types of sandwiches: one egg one and one peach filled one! Furthermore, there is also lettuce, carrots, pineapple and orange on the side, as well as a “monaka” – a wafer cake filled with azuki (red bean) jam! – ยฅ1,000
-Next come the desserts! The โSakura Miku Dual Coloured Parfaitsโ from 7:24 look stunning! They both contain “kanten” (agar-agar gelatin), whipped cream, matcha whipped cream, cookies, chocolate, cornflakes and three-colour dango (small rice flour dumpling) sticks. One has strawberry ice cream, and one has matcha ice cream, so choose your favourite! – ยฅ850 per parfait.
-Our second dessert is an interesting one, as it’s a dish inspired by ใใใ ใผ ‘s (Kashuu’s) โMochimochi Shiratama ZenZaiโ and ใธใใฝใ ‘s (Hekopon’s) โSakura Miku Fuwa Fuwa Hidden Home Dorayakiโ. There’s a tiny cute dorayaki with a cherry inside and “shiratama anmitsu” (shiratama are rice flour dumplings, while anmitsu is typically a combination of bean jam, agar cubes, boiled beans, fruit pieces and syrupโ). There is also a tiny sakura mochi, as well as a sakura-shaped “nerikiri” (a sweet made from azuki paste wrapped in a layer of white bean paste mixed with mochi, which can be made into pretty shapes!), whipped cream and sakura sauce. – ยฅ850
-That brings us to the final dessert item; this one is a mixture of the designs by ใชใผใ (riifu) and ๆขๆ(Kaito), with the “Kaito’s Highly Recommended Ice Cream Waffles!” As the name suggests, we have waffles, blueberry and mango sauce, ramune (lemon/lime soda) ice cream, an ice cream cone, a soybean sheet, another “monaka”, whipped cream, powdered sugar and “arazan” (silver dragees). – ยฅ850
-And on the last menu, we have… the drinks! In the top left, we have a “Sakura Miku Soda” based on the designs by ๆฐดใฃใฝใในใผใ (Koorippoi Soup) and ใใใกใใ (Ugochan). It has sakura syrup, soda, peach jelly, and cherries inside! The drink costs ยฅ650, but if you’d like to keep the souvenir bottle, you’ll have to pay an extra ยฅ1,100 on top of that.
-On the right hand side is our first hot drink – the “O-Hanami Amazake Milk Tea”, designed by ia. Inside is amazake (a non alcoholic type of drink) and milk, sakura syrup and strawberry syrup with whipped cream on top and salt pickled sakura. – ยฅ600.
– R_pro_09‘s “Sakura Miku Miku Mi-cream Soda” looks amazing, especially with the Miku twin tails (presumably made from paper or card, and attached with toothpicks). Inside is melon soda, with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, a cherry on top and monaka. – ยฅ600
-Fans of Meiko might want to try the “Meiko’s Sangria-like Cranberry Juice” for ยฅ600, which contains cranberry juice and mixed berries! (Design by ่ถใ ใใ (Chadango)).
-One of the most impressive drinks here would definitely be the โAttakappuccinoโ, designed by ๆฐท่ๅญ๏ผใซใ). I’s a cappuccino but with an edible film with an image of Kaito’s coat on it! I definitely want to try it… – ยฅ600
-For Rin and Len we have the “Kirakira” drinks, based on the original design by ใใฟใ (Amiru). Rin’s one has orange juice, orange jelly, real pieces of orange, while Len’s on the other hand has pineapple soda, pineapple, real pieces of pineapple. Both have whipped cream, chocolate and sprinkles though! It’s kind of weird that they chose pineapple for Len though. I wish they’d done something banana related. – ยฅ600each.
-Last but by no means least, we have the decadent- looking “Luka’s Iced Ichigo-Ore”. It has milk, strawberry syrup, strawberries, whipped cream and chocolate sauce on top! ใขใกใฟใณ (Ametako) did an amazing job with designing it too!
But hold on a minute, that’s not all I have for you!
For every order, you’ll get one of these coasters!
Each one uses one of the official illustrations for the collaboration! Remember that you get them randomly, so you won’t get to choose. They’re all super cute though, so this shouldn’t matter too much.
And if you were upset that our other Piapro friends didn’t get coasters – you’re in luck!
If you spend at least ยฅ2,000 on food, drinks and merchandise (for information about merch, check out my newer article here), then you’ll receive one of these special coasters too! Again, these will be given out randomly, so you can’t choose which one you want.
Ahh, isn’t it all so exciting? Make sure you check out my previous related articles to find out more information about the cafรฉ locations, and compare the final menu items to their original designs. I’m slightly disappointed that we didn’t get a Rin-themed dessert, but there’s still lots of exciting food to try out, so I’m definitely happy nonetheless.
Hello Mikucolle players! I’m here to show you the next part of the Snow Miku – Mikufest event, including all of the new updates there have been. If you’re curious about what has happened previously, you can read my previous two articles here: (Part 1 /and/ Part 2).
Okay, so let’s dive in!
Our newest opening image, featuring the art of ใพใ (Maro) and tokki respectively.
When you log in now, you’ll get to see a joyous Melopi:
1. Melopi: “We did it!” 2. “We managed to get all of the musical instruments back!” 3. “None of them got damaged, so I’m glad!” 4. “So now…” 5. Miku: “So now, we can have our music concert!”. 6. Let’s bring some joy to this place!” 7. Right, let’s go!” 8. “Usaaaaaa~!” 9 & 10. Melopi: “…..usa?”.
So what is going on in this leg of the event? Well, you’re still able to get 3 Mikucoins for logging in, so make sure to grab them every day! As for the other stuff going on…
1.New gacha
Our new gacha for the event are as follows:
-The top banner shows our first gacha, in which we have three options. The first one on the left is one pull only, and it costs 3 Mikucoins. You can do this one once a day. The middle one is a one pull gacha too, but you can play it as many times per day as you like. This one costs 5 Mikucoins per pull. (If you have a regular golden gacha ticket, you can use that for one pull too). Next we have the third option, which gives you 10 cards plus one extra, so it’s the best value for money. You should get at least one SSR with this gacha, and it costs 50 Mikucoins.
-The second one you can see is the free gacha! With this one, you’ll be able to do the equivalent of a 10 + 1 pulls gacha without paying anything. This gacha will disappear from the page once used, leaving the other four event gacha behind.
-For the third gacha down, you’ll need to use special gacha tickets instead of Mikucoins. You only get one pull, but there’s a high probability for an SSR+. I’ll explain how to get these tickets in a little while.
-The final gacha is linked to the new quests available! Here, you need to collect 100 tickets for 1 pull, or 1000 tickets for a 10 + 1 pull. In this gacha you also have the chance to get this event – limited card:
ใใฟใซ้ชใใฏ2020ใ/ “Mini Snow Miku 2020” – SSR
But just HOW do you get these tickets? Well let me show you~
2. New “Advance! Mikucolle Exploration Team” Quest available to play!
With this quest, each time you clear a level, you’ll get a certain amount of tickets which you can use in the aforementioned gacha. The more levels you clear, the more difficult the levels become, and the more tickets you get! You’ll also receive challenge medals which can be exchanged for cool items in the shop.
3. Ranking
Similar to the second part of this event from before, your scores that you get from each level in the Exploration Team quest will be used to place you on a leaderboard. The highest score you get when you clear a level is what they’ll use to place you. If your score is high enough (in the top 100 of players), you might have the chance to get this special limited card:
I think that wraps up our Mikufest in Mikucolle coverage for now. Make sure to try your luck at the gacha if you get a chance, since the event is on until February 25th (JST).

While the collaboration has been out since the 14th, I wanted to make sure that I could cover everything going on in as much detail as possible. This collab comes jam packed with two new Hatchers, seven new quests, a returning Hatcher, and multiple return quests so Miku fans have a ton of work ahead of them if they want to collect everything!ย

Remember the collab ends February 28th at 12:59 am server time!
New Quests

Each of these quests also has a chance of the 6* Unit Spiral Scream Kagamine Len appearing. If you defeat the quest, he’ll drop as well! This higher the difficulty of the quest, the higher the Bug count will be for this unit. There’s no other way to obtain him outside of these quests.
Standby Party
This quest doesn’t drop any units but instead drops Musical Notes 2020. These Notes can be exchanged in the Item Exchange for all the units from the previous years’ collabs!
Aim at the Top!
This Score Attack quest has both a Training level and a Score Attack level. So far I’ve been training without much luck. Newer players as well as ones who don’t frequently play the game may have difficulty with this quest.
Hatchers
There are two Hatcher for new units in this collaboration as well as a Hatcher for older Miku Collab Hatcher units. The return Hatcher even has a free 10x pull!
The new Hatchers feature multiple new units but VOCALOID fans will likely be more interested in Green String Girl Hatsune Miku and Yellow Camellia Kagamine Rin. You can obtain them as well as other exclusive collab units from the two new Hatchers. However, there is a Miku Side and a Rin Side that boost the chance of you getting either Miku or Rin.
You can even check out samples of their special theme songs (included in game) in a promotional video!
More Information
For more information, be sure to follow Crash Fever on Facebook as well as VocaSphere! Be sure to check out our more in depth article about the collaboration here as well!
New to Crash Fever or just haven’t played it in a while but really want to get into the Miku collab? Having a hard time figuring out where to start? You’re in the right place! Here’s our crash course to help you jump right into the Miku collab! If you’d prefer just a quick rundown of what’s new, check out our previous article here.
Free Hatcher
First thing’s first: the free Hatcher. If you’re a new player, this free Hatcher is absolutely perfect to get you going with some really good units fit for the quests at hand. If you’re an old player, it’s still a free Hatcher and will hopefully help you complete your collection of Hatcher only VOCALOID units.
The Quests
If you’re a new player, take this time to level up your units using the free ducks given out as login bonuses and use Apples on your units to increase their stats. I won’t get too into that here but there are tons of guides online to help you out if you need some assistance.
Once you have some good units ready to fight, it’s on to the quests! There are a ton to choose from but there’s definitely an efficient way to go about everything.
New or old, focus on either Virtual Classic or Keyboard Resonance first depending on which units you have. You get Musical Notes 2020 (used in the Item Exchange to exchange for units from previous collabs) by completing these quests and collecting more and more of the units (which you need to do anyway to Bug Max them) so you’re best off collecting the many, many rewards of 390 Musical Notes 2020 before actually doing the Standby Party quest.
Doing more difficult levels of the quest gets you higher Bug counts but don’t feel discouraged if you’re only able to do the lower level quests. You’ll be leveling up over and over again as a newbie and each level up means a refill of energy! So you’ll be making progress in no time.
Now the focus is definitely on Bug Max-ing these units. Bug Max nets you two extra drops which means Bug Maxing following units faster. You can also use those Musical Notes 2020 that you receive to get Fruitful Future Hatsune Miku from the Item Exchange. You can Bug Max her for 450 Notes and she’ll be able to help you in the Virtual Classic Quest. Pair her up with Rin and Len V4X and any other unit capable of breaking Damage Panels without being injured and you’ll be able to take out the Virtual Classic quest over and over!
If your units are lacking, I’d definitely suggest starting with KAITO and Bug Maxing him first before moving on to the others as KAITO is super effective against both Luka and MEIKO.
While you can totally Bug Max these units without the help of multiplayer, the yields for multiplayer play are absolutely amazing and I highly recommend playing multiplayer if you can.
Spiral Scream Kagamine Len
In addition to getting the KAITO, Luka, and MEIKO units when completing their respective quests, each quest has a chance of the 6* unit Spiral Scream Kagamine Len appearing. If he appears and you beat the quest, you’ll receive one unit with a set number of Bugs depending on the quest difficulty. Higher difficulties yield higher Bugs.
There’s no other way to obtain this Len unit so good luck Bug Maxing him!
Daily Quest: Singin’ Orchestra
Don’t worry about having a Bug Max unit for this quest; it drops the same thing every time. You’re allowed to play this quest once a day and it’ll drop a 6* Concert Princess Snow Miku 2020 with 11 Bugs each time. You have to play the quest nine days during the event to get to Bug Max! Make sure to play it every day in order to max out the unit.
Guerrilla Quest: On Air! Guerrilla Live Show
This special Guerilla Quest is also an easy one to finish but I definitely recommend using multiplayer for it! Having a Bug Max unit is a nice bonus but 100% unnecessary thanks to the drop mechanics. Any Bug Max units will net extra drops but they’re all enhancement units. Here’s the run down of the multiplayer drops for the quest:
1 Player: 1x Chibi Performers Miku and Franklin 1 Bug
2 Players: 1x Chibi Performers Miku and Franklin 1 Bug, 1x Chibi Performers Miku and Franklin 2 Bug
3 Players: 1x Chibi Performers Miku and Franklin 1 Bug, 1x Chibi Performers Miku and Franklin 2 Bug, 1x Chibi Performers Miku and Franklin 3 Bug
4 Players: 1x Chibi Performers Miku and Franklin 1 Bug, 1x Chibi Performers Miku and Franklin 2 Bug, 1x Chibi Performers Miku and Franklin 3 Bug, 1x Chibi Performers Miku and Franklin 4 Bug
As you can see, it definitely adds up when you play multiplayer!
In addition, playing multiplayer will net you Polygons. You’ll receive 50 Polygons for the first ten players you play with and 10 Polygons for the next 89. That’s enough for a few pulls from the Hatchers!
While this unit isn’t exactly amazing overall, it’s definitely worth Bug Maxing for the Bug Max bonuses.
Standby Party
The Standby Party quest is where you get the Musical Notes 2020 that you can exchange for previous years’ units in the Item Exchange. The Wizard level will likely be most accessible to new players as it focuses on Damage Panels which many of the VOCALOID units can deal with. Ultimate, on the other hand, focuses on Protected Panels which are a completely different game. However, the new MEIKO unit is capable of dealing with both so she’ll make a great addition to the team.
The Wizard level quest will net you 100 Musical Notes 2020 per solo run with an additional 20 for Bug Maxed. As always, running the quest with others will work better for drops but isn’t required.
Score Attack: Aim at the Top!
This quest is by far the most difficult. With five stages of increasing difficulty, it’s definitely a challenge. Only try it if you’ve got quite the team!
Returning Quests
There are multiple returning quests as well all offering the chance to get units from previous years’ collaborations! You’ll have to decide if these quests are worth doing or if farming Musical Notes 2020 would work better for you.
Note that one quest from MIKU Museum 2016, Frosty Diva, will likely end up on your list of quests to grind as the unit dropped is used as Awakening material for several of the older collab units.

The Hatchers
These two Hatchers both have the chance of dropping four collaboration units, two of which are Crypton VOCALOIDS, but each side has a preference towards one of those VOCALOID units. Choose the Miku side for a higher chance at Green String Girl Hatsune Miku and the Rin side for a higher chance at Yellow Camellia Kagamine Rin.
The first pull is a discounted 250 Polygons with each following pull being 500. On the 6th pull, you’re guaranteed to pull one of the four featured units!
You can check out the app itself for more details on all the featured units.
More Information
There are of course packages you can purchase for Polygons and other various items. However, those cost real money and that’s not what this guide is about. I’m just hoping to help out players so they can decide the best way to tackle this giant event. Hopefully it’s been of some help to you!
Until February 17th (13:59 JST), you can get free Mikucoins just by logging in! If you haven’t already checked the app, it’d be a good idea to check it out quickly to make use of the offer (I know I needed those coins… ).
2. Special Kaito Gacha!
Three Kaito gacha have been created especially for his birthday! So let’s take a look at them quickly:
-With the first banner at the top, we have a gacha which requires 100 Mikucoins for a 10+ 1 extra gacha pull. You’re guaranteed at least one SSR+ from it, and all cards come with max rank and max level! I’d assume that this gacha is so expensive because the rate for SSR+ here is 5%, which is 4% higher than the next gacha.
-In our second gacha we have three options. The first one on the left is one pull only, and it costs 3 Mikucoins. You can do this one once a day. The middle one is a one pull gacha too, but you can play it as many times per day as you like. This one costs 5 Mikucoins per pull. Next we have the third option, which gives you 10 cards plus one extra, so it’s the best value for money. You should get at least one SSR with this gacha, and it costs 50 Mikucoins.
-The final gacha available is a free one. You can have one whole go at the full gacha without paying! And I must admit, I got a reaaally good pull from this one:
Special cards available include:
ใ็ฅๆญใฎไฝฟ่ KAITOใ/”Iwai-uta no shisha KAITO” (Messenger of Festive Song KAITO) -SSR+
Although it might not look like much, a special gacha or three is always fun to play, especially when celebrating one of our favourite Vocaloid’s birthdays! Good luck with your Gacha pulls everyone! And make sure to check out the event before February 17th (13:59 JST)!
Each of these quests also has a chance of the 6* Unit Spiral Scream Kagamine Len appearing. If you defeat the quest, he’ll drop as well! This higher the difficulty of the quest, the higher the Bug count will be for this unit. There’s no other way to obtain him outside of these quests.
