FamilyMart Hatsune Miku Promotion

To celebrate 5 years of the phenomenon that is Hatsune Miku (初音ミク), FamilyMart is holding a giveaway of goods with the images of character on them. The grand prize is a limited edition shooter with an image of Hatsune Miku on the side. If you have not heard of Hatsune Miku, it may be worth your time to spend some time catching up on the Wikipedia site (link below). Japan still has the power to create high-tech/anime phenomena. Hatsune Miku was originally created as a voice synthesizer, but was such a hit that the character created to represent the software has branched out into many other areas such as manga and virtual concerts both in Japan and the US.

Customers who purchase 500 yen or more of the goods designated in the promotion will automatically have a code printed out on their receipt, which can be checked using a special page on the internet.
