On the first day of the event, February 4 (Sat.) and 7 (Tue.), from 5:00 to 5:10 p.m., professional musicians will perform a special live concert to demonstrate their performance.
Special sound and light show at the Snow Miku snow sculpture will also be held.
A snow sculpture of Snow Miku (Hatsune Miku), a character supporting Hokkaido, will also be installed at the same site, where a "SNOW MIKU 2023 Sound and Light Special Show" will be held from 17:55 to 22:00 daily during the festival period (5 minutes from every hour 55 minutes and 25 minutes). A mini show will be held to enliven the snow sculptures with "SnowMix♪," the event theme song of "SNOW MIKU 2023," a festival in support of Hokkaido, and a lighting performance.

NoMaps, a Hokkaido-based festival organizer focusing on technology, entertainment, and creativity, will be involved in these measures, which will also serve as a demonstration test of the COUGEN system, a technology and application developed by Crypton Future Media Inc. to synchronize sound and light. The event will be held at the Sapporo Snow Festival.
We are very much looking forward to this new experiment, which will be held at the Sapporo Snow Festival!
