JA12HC ATR-42-600 HAC  [+] 2022-23

Hatsune Miku (literally "the first sound of the future") is a Vocaloid software voicebank by Crypton Future Media which is impersonated by an anthropomorphic 16-year-old girl with long, turquoise twintails created by manga artist Kei Garō. The virtual idol has performed at live virtual concerts as an animated projection. Snow Miku was born when Crypton made a pure white snow sculpture of the company's character "Hatsune Miku" at the Sapporo Snow Festival in 2010 (as part of a sponsorship deal). Although originally this was simply a recoloring of the normal Hatsune Miku, unique winter designs have occurred every year since 2011.

Note the two sides were different. HAC 25th anniversary celebration titles were also visible aft of the rear door.
