Photo by Brianna Fox-Priest Hatsune Miku has the power to bring crowds wherever her virtual presence can be felt. Even drawing fans to a relaxed campus located in the city of Brotherly Love: Philadelphia. How does a virtual singer bring waves of die-hard fans and the equally curious to a local cafe? That’s the magic of Miku. Richie’s Cafe in Philadelphia isn’t just a local student hub, it now proudly can say it was the first North American Hatsune Miku collab cafe.

Based on a high school play by the Tokushima City High School Drama Club, “Swimming in a Sand Pool” does function intently like a stage play, but the fact that the majority of the story takes place inside a swimming pool makes it stand out from other similar productions.
Swimming in a Sand Pool is screening at Osaka Asian Film Festival
It is summer vacation, but high schoolers Kokoro and ‘pretty girl' Miku have been instructed by their Pe teacher, Yamamoto, to clean the swimming pool. The pool has been drained of water and is covered with sand from the baseball team's field, which lies just next to it. The girls are not exactly eager to do so under the blazing sun, while Miku soon has an argument with the teacher, since she is wearing make-up against the school rules. Furthermore, Chizuru, a rather quirky girl who is practicing her...

I mean, spirit photography was popularized almost immediately after the first camera was invented, so it makes sense that we’re still chasing spirits from behind the safety of a lens well into the new millennium. Naturally, this obsession with the paranormal would eventually find its way to video games, with one specific survival horror franchise turning haunted cameras into the basis for an interactive J-horror experience.
