Lollipop Chainsaw RePop Switch 2 Now Has no Release Date
Dragami Games not only delayed the Switch 2 version of Lollipop Chainsaw RePop remake, but now doesn’t have any release date for that port. The company apologized for the sudden change on social media . It was supposed to appear on the eShop on March 26, 2026. It didn’t mention if this means the Burlesque Bunny Juliet costume planned for other versions to celebrate that release will be delayed.
When explaining the delay of the Switch 2 version of Lollipop Chainsaw RePop, the statement essentially noted the remake isn’t meeting expectations. It noted the additional development time will be used for “significant updates.” It didn’t mention specific issues, but did reference the Switch version and its performance problems. This is the second delay, as it originally moved from a November 2025 window to early 2026.
The Switch version of the game launched with a number of issues that kept it from running smoothly. For example, there are multiple frame rate drops. Also, all licensed music was removed.
Lollipop Chainsaw RePop is available on the Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Switch 2 version is in development with no release date. The original appeared on the PS3 and Xbox 360. An anime and new game are also in development.

My Dress Up Darling and Hololive Houshou Marine Figures Teased
At Wonder Fest 2026 Winter, Aniplex teased new figures of Hololive member Houshou Marine dressed up as the My Dress-Up Darling heroine Marin Kitagawa in her anime uniform and of Marin wearing the pirate costume belonging to the Vtuber. Official concept art appeared alongside unpainted prototypes. There are no official release dates for either one yet, however.
Both of these figures are listed as Cosplay Ver takes of the characters when Aniplex shared unpainted prototypes on social media . In this situation, the characters seem designed to match the energy of the people they’re portraying. So Marine is a bit more subdued in the Marin costume. She’s holding one side of her skirt up, but she’s otherwise in a more demure pose. Meanwhile, Marine is much more energetic and over-the-top, with extravagant posing, the coat being held like a backdrop or cape, and her right hand making a peace sign.
Here are the two prototype photos, as well as the official art showing both of the designs together. These will be static scale figures when released. As such, don't expect additional face plates or arm parts for either Marine or Marine.

Hatsune Miku Snow Miku x Kuromi Plush Appear in Japan
Hatsune Miku x Kuromi plush toys are now available in Japan, continuing the crossover between the Sanrio mascot and Snow Miku variant of the Vocaloid. FuRyu announced two different kinds of stuffed animals and dolls, and Taito confirmed both are in its online crane games. This follows the Hatsune Miku Cinnamoroll collaboration that resulted in things like figures and plush .
These fall into two different types of FuRyu plush collections. The four smaller Hatsune Miku and Kuromi toys are part of the Mochipiko line. The single large stuffed doll is one of FuRyu’s Kyurumaru toys.
The smaller Mochipiko ones are part of a set of four that include two versions of the Vocaloid and two versions of the mascot. Those are each about three and a half inches tall (nine centimeters). Both of the Miku designs are wearing the same purple and black dress with black hats like Kuromis, though the facial expressions are different. The two Kuromi plush feature different color hoods, with one being black and the other purple, and wear outfits that match Miku’s.
As for the Kyurumaru plush, that features a nine inch plush (23cm). It is the most detailed of the options available. This version of Snow Miku wears a black and purple Gothic Lolita style dress with pink skull on it. Her hair also has black streaks in it. Over her right pigtail is a small Kuromi, and her left pigtail has a hair accessory that resembles’ Kuromi’s ears.
Here’s how all the items look:

These follow the Good Smile Company official figure of the two together . That also featured Snow Miku. However, the outfit for that item isn’t in the Gothic Lolita style.
The FuRyu Hatsune Miku Kuromi plush toys based on the Snow Miku design and Sanrio mascot are now available as arcade prizes in Japan, and we don’t know if or when those stuffed animals and dolls could appear worldwide.

New Kiara Takanashi Album Includes Gawr Gura and Amelia Watson Tribute
Hololive English Vtuber Kiara Takanashi shared a teaser for her second album Vogelfrei on YouTube , and after she did she confirmed on social media that one song acts as a tribute to former Myth members Gawr Gura and Amelia Watson. This marks our first opportunity to hear the track ahead of the full debut on streaming services on February 7, 2026. This follows the appearance of figures based on the performer .
When bringing up the Gawr Gura and Amelia Watson tribute song on Vogelfrei , Kiara Takanashi was a bit cagey on social media. She noted, “And yes, there's a song that's a tribute to two myth [sic] ladies.” She included yellow and blue emoji hearts after, which are the signature colors for the two members of that generation that graduated and stepped back from streaming . While she didn’t specifically name the track, the preview for “Blue & Gold,” which comes up at the 3:38 mark , already features lyrics referencing the two.
Here’s the Vogelfrei tribute. The first nine highlighted songs are the new tracks and interludes. Those are followed by the four songs she previously released.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmmykhzx9Bo
Here’s the full track listing:
“Interlude: 01”
“EGO”
“Martyr”
“Interlude: 02”
“That Way”
“Manifest”
“Interlude: 03”
“Signs”
“Blue & Gold”
“Chimera”
“Mirage”
“Perfume”
“Tasty”
In addition to the album’s streaming and physical release, there will be another way to hear the new Kiara Takanashi music. She’ll be performing a concert with fellow Myth member Ninomae Ina’nis between March 27-28, 2026. That’s called Drawn to Dawn and, while people in LA who grabbed tickets can see it in person, that will be streaming too.
The Kiara Takanashi album Vogelfrei will debut on February 7, 2026, though it might not show up in certain regions until February 8, 2026.

While Hololive Vtuber Akai Haato is still on hiatus, Cover and the performer shared a new cover song on her official Haachama YouTube account . It is her take on the Miyuki Nakajima song “Ito.”
While there is occasional art of the Hololive Vtuber in the “Ito” cover song music video, it mainly references the fact that one of the things Haato is known for is her travel vlogs and YouTube shorts .
Here is the full Akai Haato cover of the song “Ito” from her Haachama YouTube account.

3 Hololive Vtuber Funko Pop Figures Revealed
Cover and Funko announced a merchandise partnership involving Hololive Vtubers, and things will kick off with three Funko POP Animation figures of Calliope Mori, Kiara Takanashi, and Sakura Miko. This means we’re seeing both English and Japanese branches of the company represented. All three launch on January 27, 2026, and they are $14.99 each. They will be available through the company , as well as retailers like Amazon .
Calliope Mori , Kiara Takanashi , and Sakura Miko are all standard Funko Pop figures, which means the Hololive Vtuber renditions are non-standard scale and don’t feature any additional parts or poses. Each performer appears in the standard Pop style, which means they have a chibi appearance with oversized head and wide, solid-color eyes. In the case of these three, their eyes are their eye color and not black as with standard Pops. Each member of the company is wearing their signature default costume from when they first debuted. They are all about four inches tall, though Sakura Miko stands slightly taller at four and a half inches due to her hairstyle and pose.
Here’s how all three of them look both in and out of their boxes. The Calliope Mori one is number 2,292. Kiara Takanashi ended up being 2,293. Finally, Sakura Miko is number 2,294. In the case of the English members, Calliope is holding a scythe, and Kiara is holding a KFP drumstick.

Funko regularly turns various pop culture characters into Pop figures. For example, tons of characters from games showed up in the collection. The lead character from Metaphor: ReFantazio appeared in 2025. So did the avatars from Genshin Impact . Some of the most recent are Yuta from Jujutsu Kaisen and Denji with Beam from the Chainsaw Man movie .
The Hololive Vtuber Funko Pop figures of Calliope Mori, Kiara Takanashi, and Sakura Miko are available now.
