Frontier Works Inc. has announced an exclusive collaboration that merges the world of virtual pop idol Hatsune Miku and the Tokyo National Museum’s cultural preservation efforts. Titled the “Hatsune Miku × Tokyo National Museum Cultural Property Conservation Program,” this unique initiative brings limited-edition merchandise to North America and will be showcased at Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles.
Running from July 3 to July 6 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Anime Expo attendees can experience the exhibit at the animate GROUP booth (South Hall, SH-504), where Frontier Works will display the collaborative collection. Exclusive ticket-style cards will be distributed only at the venue, and merchandise will be available for purchase on-site. Sample items from the made-to-order collection will also be on display.
This collaboration features Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, and Kagamine Len reimagined through the lens of iconic Japanese cultural artifacts. Among the most anticipated items are those inspired by the Important Cultural Property “Robe (Kosode) with Autumn Flowers,” affectionately nicknamed “Fuyuki Kosode.” This includes “Fuyuki Kosode Miku,” developed as part of the Korin Kimono Restoration Project.
Other featured characters include “Beauty Looking Back Miku,” and new renditions such as “Haniwa: Warrior in ‘Keikō’ Armor Miku” and “Haniwa: Dancing People Rin & Len,” created for the “Dancing Haniwa & Beauty Looking Back Conservation Project.”
The collaborative goods will be available for pre-order beginning June 16, 2025 (PDT), exclusively through the animate USA Online Shop. The pre-order period will run until July 20, 2025. A portion of all sales will be donated to the Tokyo National Museum to support the conservation of cultural properties.
This project is a joint initiative between Crypton Future Media, the Tokyo National Museum, and the National Center for the Promotion of Cultural Properties.

- Fuyuki Kosode Miku Tenugui, Poster, Postcard, and Big Acrylic Stand
- Beauty Looking Back Miku Tote Bag, Mouse Pad, Clear File, Acrylic Keychains, and Can Badges
