TURIN, Italy – A throwaway gag initially rejected by Disney became an unexpected viral PR asset for Pixar’s Hoppers, teaching the studio a possible new, although largely unpredictable, way to market original animated films in a franchise-dominated industry.

Sega announced that Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage is getting Mousey male and female costumes designed by Vtuber Ironmouse. Following her direction, artists epebe and Rosuuri created final design. The outfits will be in the Premium Gift Gacha in the game, though a Halloween Special Login Campaign also awards a Virtual Avatar Costume as well until November 6, 2026.
