March 9 is Hatsune Miku Day!
In Japanese, three can be pronounced as both “mi” and “san.” Nine can be pronounced as both “ku” and “kyuu.” Therefore, March 9 can be pronounced, for the sake of pronunciation play, as “Miku” and “sankyuu,” which sounds like “thank you.” That is why March 9 is the day to celebrate Hatsune Miku.
Tokyo Otaku Mode operates on the idea of “bringing happiness to the world through otaku culture.” Hatsune Miku is a big part of Japan’s otaku culture, so we had to do something exciting for Miku Day, March 9.
Tokyo Otaku Mode is celebrating Hatsune Miku with special features that will run until March 22 at 7:00 p.m. (PST)!
