magic miku beads

it’s entertaining to see character merch can still be weird among contemporary franchises that seem to make nothing other than acryllic stands and COSPA shirts, or flail by making desperation plays like NFTs. vtubers kind of champion this space currently (maybe you’d prefer having an eva MRE instead), but I don’t think there’s anyone running the vertical integration grind quite like miku. at a donki earlier this year I bought miku cologne which I’m not really sure is supposed to smell like miku or make miku more attracted to me, but I’m guessing it’s the latter since we already have virtual singer perfume.

all that is to say today I found out magnet therapy companies that claim to relax joints and enhance focus will apparently also sign character deals too. like sure, make the android promote mood crystals and magnetic necklaces, crypton. she’s probably going to corrupt her own hard drive wearing that. what the hell do I care!
