Calling all Vocaloid fans and Magic: The Gathering (MTG) players! Get ready to rock out, because the world’s most famous digital singer, Hatsune Miku, is electrifying the trading card game with a special series of cards!
Wait, Hatsune Miku in Magic?
That’s right! This year, MTG is teaming up with Hatsune Miku for a series of special card sets called “Secret Lair.” These sets feature popular characters and franchises on unique MTG cards. So, instead of battling dragons and wizards, you might get cards with video game heroes or even singers like Miku!
Miku Makes Her Debut
The first Miku-themed Secret Lair, called “Sakura Superstar,” arrives in May 2024. It’s the first of four sets planned throughout the year, each celebrating a different season. Sakura Superstar features beautiful artwork inspired by spring in Japan, with cherry blossoms (sakura) and a vibrant, energetic vibe that matches Miku’s performances.
What’s in the Cards?
The Sakura Superstar set includes six MTG cards. These cards won’t change the way the game works, but they’ll feature stunning artwork of Miku and might even have some special effects or abilities inspired by her music. We don’t know exactly what the cards will do yet, but they’re sure to be a treat for Miku fans and MTG players alike.
More Miku Magic on the Way!
Here’s the exciting part: Sakura Superstar is just the beginning! Three more Miku-themed Secret Lairs are planned for later in 2024, each focusing on a different season – summer, autumn, and winter. Each set will likely have its own unique artwork and card themes, keeping the Miku magic alive throughout the year.
How to Get Your Miku Cards
Secret Lair sets are a little different from regular MTG booster packs. They’re sold online for a limited time only, so if you want these special Miku cards, you’ll need to act fast! Keep an eye on the official MTG website (https://magic.wizards.com/en) for more information about when and how to pre-order the Sakura Superstar set.

Whether you’re a longtime MTG player or just a huge Miku fan, this collaboration is a dream come true. It’s a fantastic way to celebrate Miku’s music and influence, and a chance to show off your love for the virtual superstar in your next MTG game night.
Who is Hatsune Miku?
In case you’re new to the phenomenon, Hatsune Miku isn’t a real person. She’s a virtual singer, a computer program that can generate realistic singing voices. Miku has become a global icon, with millions of fans worldwide. She performs in concerts using holographic technology, appearing on stage as a digital character. Her music is a mix of pop, rock, and electronic music, and she’s collaborated with countless artists around the world.
MTG: A Gateway to New Fun
If you’re a Miku fan who’s never played MTG before, this collaboration might be the perfect excuse to give it a try! MTG is a fun and strategic card game that’s easy to learn but challenging to master. There are many ways to play, from casual games with friends to competitive tournaments. With the Miku Secret Lair sets, you can enter the world of MTG with cards you already love!
So, whether you’re a seasoned MTG player or a Miku mega-fan, get ready to experience the magic of this exciting collaboration!
