Sega's Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F rhythm game for PS3 is collaborating with Japanese glasses maker Washin to create original Hatsune Miku theme glasses. :o
Full rim glasses, with black arms (sides) and clear blue accents, mimicking Miku's sleeves.
Lens diameter is 55mm.
Under rim glasses, with greater emphasis on the clear blue, as well as a twist on the sides and a hint of pink near the joints.
Lens diameter is 52mm.
The two pairs worn. I somehow feel that the half rim pair would go better on the girl, and vice versa ^^;
Both pairs will be available for pre-order on Washin web shop for 13900 Yen (14595 Yen with sales tax). The web shop, which is known as Washin-palette, has a website but is not available for order at the moment; pre-order should be available in mid-March, with release date to occur sometime in April.
There does appear to be more and more Miku merchandise or collaboration project these days! Anyone interested in these Miku glasses? I don't wear glasses these days, but if you ask me to choose, it can be hard for me to decide... I think I prefer the more conservative look on the full rim glasses.

Those are pretty cool and a must for any fan of Miku. However, the are a bit too colorful for me with that blue.
ReplyDeleteThere is a bit too much teal blue for my taste, especially with the second pair of glasses. The first pair won't look too out of place worn on most people I'd think.
DeleteTake my money, Miku. I need a pair.
ReplyDeleteLove your response! XD Which one are you going for, or are you planning to get both pairs??
DeleteI wonder how many people can pull off wearing Miku glasses and not look like an otaku.
ReplyDeleteI personally think that one can get away with the first pair and have people not realise it's Miku-related, but the second pair does look a little flamboyant overall.
DeleteWhen I first saw these at OTL, I went and contacted my proxy service person right away... how much Miku products can get released in a year I wonder... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteHaha you sure took the initiative there! Pre-order won't start until mid-March, so there's still time for us to see more info on the glasses.
DeleteI think that you don't need to worry too much on the Miku merchandise as long as you are happy with what you buy, though some of them can be quite expensive, and/or not easy to acquire via normal means.
