Otomachi Una has revealed that she’s collaborating with motion capture app Michicon Plus!

The app enables one to use a smartphone’s camera to record a person’s motion – such as a dance – and save that motion as a file to use for the app’s mascot character, Michico, to act out in a 15-second video. Even the background for the playback can be freely changed!

Watch the videos below to see it in action!

And thanks to the new collaboration, Michico can now be swapped out for Otomachi Una Sugar!

On the Michicon website’s press release and even on their homepage and app store icon, Una can now be seen everywhere with Michico!

If you’d like to give the app a shot, then download Michicon Plus on the App Store here!

**UPDATED ON MARCH 13, 2020**

Spicy’s model has been added to the app! Now you can make mo-cap videos with both of Una’s VOCALOID designs!

In a surprise move that probably few saw coming, Otomachi Una now has an official account on Weibo!

Here is her announcement on Twitter:

“I’ve started using weibo ♪є⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄◎⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄э Please follow me if you’d like♪
https://weibo.com/u/7348444118
Now, someone please teach me Chinese… є(⁄๑⁄◕⁄ᆺ⁄◕⁄๑⁄)э

On her official weibo account, her very first post shows her greeting fans in both Japanese and Chinese! It sure doesn’t look like she’s having any problems learning the latter!

Or is she? Her second post about the Unapippigo seems to use Japanese and English instead. Well, at your own pace, Una!

We look forward to seeing what else Una will do for her Chinese language-speaking fans now! Stay tuned!

The seventh episode of Tokimeki💖Hamamatsu featuring Otomachi Una and Hitomi Kubo is now available on the official Hamamatsu Channel! In this episode, the pair return to Lake Hamana to learn about one of Hamamatsu’s specialty dishes: grilled eel!

Yes, that’s right, Una talking about eating eel as food.

Kubo is shown visiting the Kanefuru Eel Farm where they catch and raise young eels in ponds until they are mature enough to be cultivated. They of course also preserve the natural supply of eels by releasing some adult eels that they raise back into the lake. The eel farming industry in Hamamatsu consists of 27 farms that cultivate and ship out about 1,200 tons of eels (about 6,000,000 adult eels) each year.

Una herself even expresses how much she wants to eat some eel at the end of the episode, and with a completely straight face, too!

If this episode has whet your appetite for some Lake Hamana eel, then consider a trip the Kanefuru Eel Farm and other locations to make and try some out for yourself!
