A Synopsis of the Hatsune Miku Anime Movie

The official staff has revealed details about the upcoming Hatsune Miku anime movie. They have announced that the film will showcase a never-before-seen version of Hatsune Miku, created specifically for the movie and not featured in the game.

The focus of the story is on Ichika Hoshino, who stumbles upon a new Miku song while browsing through a records shop. She is taken aback when she sees an unfamiliar version of Miku on the screen and cannot help but exclaim in shock. However, Miku only glances at her before suddenly vanishing.

After Ichika completes one of her street performances, she notices Miku’s face appearing on her smartphone. Sensing that the singer is troubled by something, Ichika decides to inquire about it.

Despite her best efforts, Hatsune Miku is unable to connect with people through her music. However, after witnessing Ichika’s ability to captivate audiences, Miku realizes that getting to know her could potentially help her achieve the same. With a smile, Ichika agrees.
