Here are the Sonicwire links. There's preorder/preferential pricing for some savings if you have a previous Miku version.

Voice bank only: 「初音ミク V6」ボイスバンク | SONICWIRE

Starter pack with full Vocaloid 6 editor: 「初音ミク V6」スターターパック | SONICWIRE

I ended up paying a little over $50 USD for the voice bank (no editor), after the exchange rate. That's as an owner of V4X, which I bought a few years ago now. I didn't look at the specific yen prices too closely, but it looks like around a 15-20% discount for existing customers. That's pretty good.

Some things I noticed from the new silhouette image:
- The pose is indeed the same of Miku V2, but the point of view is a bit different (might just be a perspective thing due to the silhouette);
- The main outfit difference is from the boots (mid-short style boots), I like the design idea!
(interestingly, the boots were missing from the first silhouette picture)
- Another difference is the top shirt, both the high collar and the bottom (seems a bit shorter), and with maybe a belt on it;
- The skirt seems a bit different too, similar to the school outfit module of Project Diva;
- The stockings seem very similar to the ones of Miku V2, but might have a little different style and color;
- About the hairstyle and accessories, is a bit difficult to see from the image, but the hair ribbons seems doubled (or divided in two parts), and the twintail hairstyle has a similar shape but also different style;
- Probably iXima is doing the artwork, her style can be seen in some of the drawing lines, but might be also a work of KEI. I also think Rella might do another artwork for Miku V6. It would be so nice if all the 3 main artists will make a Miku V6 official art!∩（*・∀・*）∩♪

Updated the first thread post with lots of new information, including all the URLs for the pre-orders (Sonicwire, thanks to Vector , and also Crypton official, package version, and Amazon JP, package version shipped directly from Amazon).
(I like that the 6 of the main logo V6 is like a reversed "P" of Piapro)

Official description of Miku V6 and many other details:♡♡
Achieve natural vocal performance with just lyrics and melody input.
Hatsune Miku sings fluently with generated parameters.

“HATSUNE MIKU V6” is a virtual singer software compatible with VOCALOID6, featuring Hatsune Miku’s voicebank (supports Japanese and English / Chinese support planned for a future update). Optimized for the VOCALOID:AI singing synthesis engine, it offers features such as intelligently adding breaths automatically, and automatically assigning English singing when you enter English spelling in the lyrics. In addition, because it uses machine learning to learn pitch transitions, volume transitions, timing, accents, and more, it excels at producing natural, organic vocal expressions. The generated vocals can then be edited flexibly; you can adjust expressions such as scoops, vibrato, and accents while referencing visual pitch and volume curves; create harmony parts using the TAKE function; and control vocal strength and firmness using the Expression parameter. It allows you to shape the singing flexibly, as if you were directly giving singing instructions to the virtual singer “Hatsune Miku.”

This product includes the original “HATSUNE MIKU V6” voicebank and “VOCALOID6 Editor Lite,” and also comes with Cubase LE featuring more than 1000 instrument sounds.

For real this time?!

 

[blackout]

Interesting little line tucked away at the very end of the Sonicwire & Crypton pages in Japanese only. Solid or Dark V6 coming as well maybe?

 

[MagicalMiku]

Good findings! Yesterday I skipped the end of page and didn't see that note!

(translated from the Crypton official page)
Additional Information
-The main visual and illustrator information for this product will be released on March 9, 2026.
-This product will be available for a limited time only, until April 13, 2027.
-This product will include one additional voice bank in addition to the "Original" voice bank.

As you said, it's probably Solid or Dark V6 (or maybe a voicebank made from Miku NT2?).
It's also interesting the second point "This product will be available for a limited time only, until April 13, 2027". It's on both Sonicwire (digital download version) and Crypton page (package version).
I wonder why.. maybe Yamaha is planning Vocaloid7 for next year? Only 1 year of sale is very little, but if indeed there is a new Vocaloid7 planned for next year (or near future), so that might explain.
(2027 is also Miku 20th Anniversary, so maybe they are planning a new edition)
Or maybe is just a contract of exclusivity, like "for 1 year Miku V6 will be available on Sonicwire and Crypton, then after that only on Yamaha page". I guess we'll know everything on March 9th

 

[blackout]

I THINK the April 13th 2027 date might be referring to the upgrade special offer if you own previous Miku software, so anyone looking to get Miku V6 discounted has a year to do so. It’s not super clear atm, so hopefully we’ll hear more about it soon!

 

[Vector]

That makes sense. This is how iOS translated it. It's talking about the preferential sale ending after a year.

本製品の優待販売 は 2027年4月13日までの期間限定です。

The part before は (spaces inserted) is the subject of the sentence and の is kind of like "of." I can't read the kanji, but if I put those two groups into a translation app (I used both Google Translate and Apple Translate), I get "this product" and "preferential sale." So that seems to check out.

 

[MagicalMiku]

ohh correct!! The kanji is "yuutai hanbai", which is used for the preferential sale wording. Good to know, it felt strange hehe
