Interest
Hatsune Miku to Headline Gundam Metaverse Concert
posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
In February 2022, Bandai Namco Holdings announced its 15 billion yen (around US$130 million at the time) investment into the Gundam Metaverse Project. While the project has yielded two limited time experiences, it appears far from seeing an official full-fledged launch. This doesn't mean the project is on hold or hiatus, as its third limited-time opening is scheduled for early December. And headlining the event is none other than the Vocaloid star Hatsune Miku.
The Gundam.info, Gundam 45th Anniversary, and Hatsune Miku X (formerly Twitter) accounts announced the collaboration between Hatsune Miku and the Gundam Metaverse Project on October 15. The Vocaloid star would hold a live concert performance within the service.

While there are few details about the Hatsune Miku concert in Gundam Metaverse Project, according to the Gundam.info website, Miku will appear in an outfit inspired by uniforms from Mobile Suit Gundam. Mai Ōkuma drew the collaboration's main visual above.

The third limited-time opening is scheduled from December 5 to December 9. The service will be limited to Japan and the United States, and users will need Window 10 or higher or macOS 14.2.1 or higher, with the Chrome or Edge browsers.
