Spoiler

This is now the picture that greets you when you head on over to Miku's Facebook page. This was posted about in other threads in this section, but I figured it might deserve a thread of its own for the sake of speculation.

In a way, it kind of reminds me of the cryptic semi-announcement of Miku and Toyota's collaboration. Hiroyuki Itoh said only about that that 'Miku's US debut will be in a week, and it will be spectacular'. Could this be a sign of news to come?

My best guess is that it's about English Miku's release, as I think they said they were shooting for spring 2012, and even if it comes out at the very end of spring, they still have to have time to drum up excitement for it. But that's only a guess. It could be something completely different.

The only thing that seems to be a sure bet is that it's related to Mikubook. But that seems to be it for now.

We know that Miku's english release is scheduled for March, but I don't think it's related to that. Here's a comment I made on facebook on a similar article:

I remember hearing talk about an interest in opening a Vocaloid themed Cafe. "Mikutery" might be short for a "Hatsune Miku Eatery"? I'm not sure, and it's not very likely. But it's a thought.

I hadn't heard that. Where'd you hear that? I wanna see!

[jrharbort]

It was officially announced at NYCC. I even wrote an article about it on mikufan soon afterwards.

EDIT: Well, I can't even seem to recall my own articles correctly. It is scheduled for Spring 2012, but I could have sworn I heard March from somewhere. Perhaps I'm just thinking of the new 3DS game.

I keep trying to think of what word they were trying to combine her name with (if that's what they were trying to do), but I keep coming up with blanks.

Closest I could come up with is 'documentary'. Like a documentary about Miku? But that doesn't quite work unless there's a typo...

Someone important (I forgot who) on Twitter that "Mikutery World" was the name for March's event. So whatever it is, we don't have long a wait.

@Virtual > Real: Yeah, plus "Mikutery World" implies that it's a location, anyway.

I thought Mikutery = Mystery.

My first thought was about some sort of Miku-themed attraction.

Lol, that's what I thought too. Crypton theme park?

That's a pretty good guess, but somehow I don't think its it.

First thing I thought.

....pffft I looked up words containing "tery" to come up with ideas. Then I saw "butchery" and now I can't stop thinking of seeing Miku as own of those burly butchers! XD Now I guess Miku being a part-time butcher is part of my head-canon! XDD
