Starting on December 20, the music game maimai DX will be adding the Yuzuki Yukari Region where players will be able to play Yukari songs and travel through the region with five tour members, each one representing Yukari in some form!
The official Weibo page for the Bank of China has begun posting a video series titled ” Learn to Finance with Tianyi (่ท็ๅคฉไพๅญฆ็่ดข)” featuring Luo Tianyi as she learns from Mr. V about how to bank.
In the first installment, which can be watched here, Tianyi starts from the basics and learns about savings and investment, though not until after carelessly spending all her money.
The next installment will delve deeper into the world of finance as Tianyi continues to learn how to be a pro investor. We will update as the videos come!
**UPDATE ON MARCH 11, 2020**
The second installment is now up!
Now that she has learned how to make deposits and earn interest, Tianyi is well on her way to becoming a millionaire! But first, she has to learn how to avoid the pitfalls along the way.
All of them – including the packaging that they all come in – will bear Miku’s original V2 design and trademark coloring!
What’s more, by speaking a sentence into the translator in one of the 53 supported languages, you’ll be able to hear Miku’s voice repeat it in Japanese! This will no doubt prove indispensable during your next visit to a Miku-related event in Japan!
The whole set costs ๏ฟฅ2,400 JPY (before tax) and can be pre-ordered below between now and February 23, 2020 at 8:00 PM (JST):

MAGNET by Shibuya109 location:
The main visual by artist LAM is themed around โShibuya x fashion,” and the Cryptonloids will all be wearing stylish new outfits on various pieces of merchandise. More information about the merchandise should be released in the coming weeks. Coincidentally, if youโve heard the newest song from HachiojiP (ๅ ซ็ๅญP) and Giga, “GIMMExGIMME,” you might notice some similarities in the art style โ the visuals for the song were also done by LAM!
(Tanudama herself admits to listening to said song repeatedly while writing this article, after finding out that the artist is the same…)
If youโd like to check out more of LAM’s amazing artwork, feel free to check out their Pixiv, and you can keep up to date on their future projects on their Twitter!
Entry to this event is free, so make sure to head on down to Shibuya109 and check it out if you get the chance! And keep an eye out for our update when we find out more about the merchandise for the collaboration. I know I definitely want some Rin merch myself…
Anyway, that’s all from me for now, and I hope to see you again soon!
