Goods featuring Miku hanging out with either Nmeneko or Usukuro will come out soon. While there’s no information on them, the goods in question will likely be the usual, such as acrylic stands and keychains. Both Usukuro and Nmeneko are dressing up in Miku’s signature outfit, whereas Miku’s hair gradient and clothing’s color scheme changes depending on who she’s with. She sports white and pink when with Nmeneko, and black and gray when with Usukuro.

Miku will also hang out with the characters in the show. She’ll make a guest appearance during the August 14, 2025 episode, which will also appear on streaming services at a later date if you’re unable to catch it on TV (since it’ll air at a late hour). That same episode will feature a special ending sung by Miku.

Nmeneko started airing in April 2025, but the source material started out as a comedic web manga starring two anthropomorphic cats. It’s a slice of life series that focuses on the cats’ daily lives. The show stars Hiro Shimono (Zenitsu in Demon Slayer, Rex in Xenoblade Chronicles) as Usukuro and Megumi Han (Gon in Hunter x Hunter and Ramlethal in Guilty Gear) as Nmeneko.

The Hatsune Miku episode of Nmeneko will air on August 14, 2025. Collaboration merchandise will appear at a later date.
