Will Miku make McShaker Fries Miku Miku?
McDonald’s Japan teased a collaboration with Vocaloid idol Hatsune Miku and the McShaker Fries on Wednesday. The teaser image featured a silhouette resembling the Vocaloid idol with the caption, “This year’s McShaker Fries will feature this person!” The company confirmed the collaboration on Thursday, noting that something would happen on Miku Day (March 9) and joked the fries would not be green onion flavored.
