Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Can you believe that we are ready in the last month of the year?!

I was in in shock at that revelation for awhile… but today I’m looking at a product that let me stop worrying about such trivial things! ♪

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Senbonzakura Ver.♡

A Nendoroid of Hatsune Miku based on the outfit she wore in the song ‘Senbonzakura’ by Kurousa-P! She comes with a gentle smiling face as well as an energetic winking expression for various different different poses. In addition, the cherry blossom streamer and cherry blossom themed bicycle seen in the original music video are also both included! Using the included special included parts that attach to her feet, you can display her without the need of the support arm in her classic ‘shooting’ pose while looking over her shoulder!

Oooooooooooohhhhhh!!! ヾ(´∀｀*)ﾉ

From the popular Vocaloid song ‘Senbonzakura’ comes a special version of Miku-san wearing a school cap, miniskirt and lovely long sleeves – an outfit that blends east and western styles in a mysteriously beautiful way!! ♡♡♡

I really love the Senbonzakura outfits, so I’m very glad to see a Nendoroid version of this Miku be made as well! I’m also really happy to see that all her accessories and ornaments have been very carefully sculpted on the Nendoroid version! (*´Д｀)=з

This ‘sakura oonusa’ or ‘cherry blossom streamer’ was something very memorable from the music video, so of course it is included as well! You can make out each of the blossoms, and a slight gradient is applied from the top down to the bottom for an even more beautiful appearance! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Plus just look at her adorable shoes!!

They are an interesting blend of high-laced boots and geta sandals, which have been faithfully shrunk into Nendoroid size!! This is the kind of interesting design that really brings out the Senbonzakura universe! ♪

As I’m sure most of you have noticed there is another delicious little treat… you can see her stomach sticking out slightly!!

The school cap with a cherry blossom crest can be removed! ♪



Removing the hat gives her a more feminine appearance!

The overall coloring of the Nendoroid also keeps that slightly retro, darker palette of colors from the music video! It gives her quite a different appearance when compared to most Nendos!

(・∀・) “She comes with another important item from the music video too!”

We’re joined by the figure’s planner, Hamako!!

(・∀・) “Which would be… this!!!“

Oooooooooooooooohhhhh!!! (´□｀｡)

It has jumped right out of the music video into the Nendoroid universe!!

(・∀・) “Yep! The rather antiquated bicycle with a cherry blossom theme!”

Plus Miku can actually be posed riding it!!!

It still requires the Nendoroid stand to be attached on her back while the bicycle supports her weight… but it looks lovely nonetheless!! φ(．． )

(・∀・) “There aren’t specific sitting parts for the pose, but she does come with special arms and hands to display her holding the handle bars! These parts also make the most nice and stable! There is also a little attachment part to hold the bike up by itself, so you can just as easily pose the bike beside her instead!”

But… but Hamako-san! I can’t focus on the bike at all!!!

Not when Miku is winking at me with such a cute expression!!

(・∀・) “Isn’t she adorable! This lovely winking expression is also included!”

The previous smiling face had a very lovely gentle feeling to it which I loved… but this winking face has a whole different kind of charm! ☆

I- I don’t know which expression to choose!! (´□｀｡)

(・∀・) “Well.. maybe knowing you can make this pose from the song will help you make up your mind!!”

＼Saa kousenjuu o uchimakure~! ♪／

Whaaat!! I can make this pose even in Nendoroid form!!! (*´Д｀)

It’s so cute!! She’s just so cute!!!

As you can see her twintails are fitted with Nendoroid joints allowing for even more of a dynamic appearance as she spins around! ♪

(・∀・) “By the way, she comes with special leg parts to display her in this pose!”

A left leg part with a special little attachment part (the pink area in this photo) isincluded. Together they make the purple section which will be included as a single part on the final product! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

(・∀・) “This pose let’s you see the ‘Ichi’ or ‘One’ written on her back very nicely!”

Hmm! This ‘ichi’ is written in hiragana (いち) instead of the usual kanji! (壱)

(・∀・) “That’s right! While the actual version in the PV is written in kanji, the LINE stamps and version in the 3DS game ‘Hatsune Miku Project Diva 2’ all make use of hiragana… we thought it suited the cuter Nendoroid design better!”

It does somehow seem a little cuter to have the chibi-sized versions written in the rounded hiragana instead! ♥︎

(・∀・) “Definitely a Nendoroid fans can enjoy the Senbonzakura atmosphere with!”

Be sure to add this ‘bold and audacious’ version of Miku to your collection! ♪

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: Senbonzakura Ver.

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♪
