The first sneak peek at tour merch?
I really hope there will be a T-shirt design with the main visual. The art on these shirts is okay but not very exciting

MikuFiesta was one of my favourites of the entries, nice to see it won! Runner ups aren't bad either, I kinda like all of the winners.

MikuFiesta is... nice? I feel like I'm being really negative but it just feels like completely the wrong context for the song to be picked as the winner though. Like it's the perfect song for a Mexico/South America tour, but for a Europe tour it feels kinda weird. The English/Dutch/German/French part felt kinda shoehorned in there, too. Ah well, it's a cute song, production on it is nice enough.

I get where you're coming from, but in American tours we have songs in Japanese about Japan and it's not considered weird then.
Plus I feel like the idea of Miku Expo is to connect the world through Miku.

I understand that feeling, too. For me, at least, I think it's because I'm from the US and English is my first language. I sort of feel like there isn't a truly "native" culture that most people share in my country (though I'm sure some anthropologist who has studied/surveyed/thought a lot about it would disagree); I'm just not sure what it would be--something involving baseball and hot dogs? So when something like a Miku tour happens, it doesn't seem inappropriate for her to bring whatever along with her, because there's nothing really dominant for her to be neglecting.

From my point of view, then, seeing a primarily Spanish song have other languages thrown in feels kind of weird, since Spanish is associated with, in my mind, a more unifying/dominant culture of its own.

That's just from my own arbitrarily skewed POV, though. Getting back to Europe, logically, each stop on the tour is in a country with a different dominant language, so having her use Spanish primarily and have the other languages added in from other spots on the tour doesn't seem unfair. And I think the song does Spanish pretty well, which I find really cool! Gives me hope for Miku Spanish one day :) .

I can see that. From how I see it though, Miku expo and perhaps Miku herself represents bringing all kinds of different people together, so it makes sense to me :)
I also like the touch where she sings multiple different languages cause like you said, she'll be visiting many different countries that all speak different languages, so I think that part of the song is really sweet.

Oh, yeah, for sure. The way Vocaloid/Miku as one of its primary ambassadors makes a hand available to everyone is one of its aspects that I find really cool as well! The disconnect I feel is just because that more immediate/intuitive response that I described isn't quite as smart as my head is :) .

I want you to come to this great celebration, where the whole world already has its invitation, today the stars will shine and we will leave the mark like the love that reaches us to the bottom of the heart.
The band will ride when the night starts to play the songs everyone will hear and with all the people my voice will be so powerful that on all continents will not stop singing.

If you're attending the concerts in London, Paris and/or Berlin, you might want to check out the Cheers39 afterparties organized by fans:

Aw, second time I won't be able to go to the Let's Paint :kaito_lili: They should announce them sooner, it's been too long since I bought my plane tickets. Although I remember there was a 'similar' Let's Paint in the London venue on the day of the concert, I went straight to the map so I couldn't really check it. I wonder if that will be done again on the day of each concert... :luka_move:

MikuFiesta is... alright? I tried listening to it a few times but it's not that catchy to me, yet it's not a badly produced song! It still doesn't sound like a concert song though? Can't see myself jamming to it right now haha But we'll see on the day of the concert. I'm curious about how they'll perform it live.

Now to wait for December 6th in the meantime...
