Sakura Miku × Hirosaki Cherry Blossoms

Sakura Miku was adopted as an official supporting character for “Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival”, which in 2020 was slated to be the 100th festival held.
Although the event was unfortunately cancelled this year, we have made a video combining the photos and videos of the cherry blossoms that were taken this season along with the illustrations that we collected via the Piapro Collab “Sakura Miku × Hirosaki Cherry Blossoms”.
The background music is the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom support song called “101st Sakura” sung by Hatsune Miku.

Movies were taken by Marugoto Aomori (Aomori.Pref). (2020)
