Hatsune Miku, the virtual pop-star performer, with help from the Carlin West Agency, adds new licensing and retail partners in the apparel, consumables, room décor, collectibles and footwear categories. These deals build on successful apparel and accessory programs by H3 Sportgear and Bioworld.
Hatsune Miku, which means “The First Sound from the Future” debuted as a voice synthesizer, has opened for Lady Gaga, and launched sold-out concerts worldwide with performances in the US, Europe and Asia.
