The collaboration campaign of "Hirosaki Neputa Festival" and "Sakura Miku" started on July 27th.

Sakura Miku is a character derived from the virtual singer "Hatsune Miku" and has been the official support character for "Hirosaki Sakura Festival" until 2020. The collaboration with "Hirosaki Neputa Festival" was announced on July 5th.

The Konan Railway Owani Line operates "Sakura Miku" wrapping trains. Six types of illustrations are combined on the side, and the illustration with the official character "Takamaru-kun" of Hirosaki city is pasted on the front. It was scheduled to operate from the 27th, but due to a vehicle defect in the regular train, it was started as an alternative vehicle from the 24th.

At the Hirosaki City Machinaka Information Center (Toshimachi, Hirosaki City), a "Sakura Miku" museum has a corner that displays illustrations and goods. The stamp rally started at the time of the "Hirosaki Sakura Festival" was started, and when four or more Sakura Miku stamps prepared at six locations in the city were collected, a collaborative picture postcard with the "Hirosaki Neputa Festival" will be presented.

As of March 26, the "Sakura Miku" taxi operated by Hokusei Kotsu (Momori Shinmachi) has not been prepared for vehicle maintenance, and its operation has been suspended.

In addition, from August 1, the first day of the "Hirosaki Neputa Festival," we are planning to sell goods such as B2 size original posters (500 yen) and the "Sakura Miku Mae Lantern Contest" in which about 10 groups have entered. There is.
