Update special part 7: Snow Miku Festival

I know this is VERY late and I felt that I shouldn't post but that would make an empty promise.

First, I should introduce a bit. Snow Miku Festival is an event that started in 2010 in which it is in conjuction with the Sapporo Snow Festival. FYI: Vocaloid hometown is at Sapporo! And this year is the 5th year of Snow Miku Festival!

Below are the designs of snow miku over the years!

Following that, this year's event has several locations in which Sapporo Factory is the main event hall! (FYI: Sapporo Factory is a shopping mall!)

Upon enter this shopping mall, you can see many advertisement featuring snow miku festival!





At Sapporo Factory, Snow Miku Festival is further spilled into two places; Sapporo Factory Atrium and Sapporo Factory Hall! I'll first talk about Sapporo Factory Atrium part before the Hall.

For Sapporo Factory Atrium, it is basically a showcase of vocaloid stuff. There is no entry fee for this area. Also, there are activities you can do like colouring your very own Snow Miku Face! I think the photos will do a better talking than me!

First, an bird eye view of Sapporo Factory Atrium:



Next, let's welcome the vocaloids! (Vocaloid Standees!)

HATSUNE MIKU!

KAGAMINE LEN!

KAGAMINE RIN!

MEIKO!

KAITO!

MEGURINE LUKA!
Continuing on, some displays at that area:





A blackboard for all people to write anything for vocaloids! By the time, I'm there it is filled until there is barely any place for me to write!
Cute designs of the other vocaloids with snow miku!

And then, the colouring activity!
Me colouring the Snow Miku Face

Completed piece!

This was coloured by my aunt's friend!
Embarrassed to admit but I got obsessed that I could easily spent 2 hours into colouring before it was completed! In the end, it caused a bad reduction of time on the places to be visited later...Sigh... Though I felt bad and regretted since it cut away the time for the activities later on but I had fun colouring and I find the colour pencils and crayons provided great to use!

And that's all for Sapporo Factory Atirum. Moving on to the Hall area! For this area, there is an entry fee of 500 yen per person. Well, it is a small price to pay. This area will have even more displays and art pieces on vocaloids but more towards Snow Miku. It is also where you purchase snow miku merchandises!

Here are some art pieces done by various artists! They are all wonderful arts!



















  Beside art pieces, there are also showcase of Snow Miku Merchandises over the years!
















 Mentioned before, snow miku festival stretched to other places. Other place is at the Odori Site where snow sculptures were displayed! There were Miku snow sculptures made in celebration for snow miku festival!


The snow sculptures shown here may not look great as the sculptures are already starting to melt... However, they are still visible so it's not that bad!

One last place that I know is the Chitose airport where there was snow miku event but only on the 5/2 (I think...)
Aside from the snow miku festival, for Miku fans, I'm sure they know about the Miku Wing Shops at Haneda Airport where you can buy miku merchandises but it is only for a limited period... 

Last but not least, some snow miku stuff bought:


Snow Miku Chocolate (They're milk chocolates!)

Snow Miku Cookies

Free CD covers that comes with the cookies X 3


And that's pretty much sum up update special part 7, the last update special. Once again, sorry for the late delay...-_- Hope all enjoy~
