Matsuken Samba II VRChat Costume and Dance Motion Launch September 9

ARROVA will sell a Matsuken Samba II costume and dance motion with music as VRChat digital fashion on the TOKYO AVATAR GATE marketplace starting September 9, 2026 at 17:00. The items are based on 3D model and motion data from Ken Matsudaira's previous virtual live performances, with ARROVA producing and V Inc. handling the VRChat costume and gimmick implementation. Material data comes from Sanki Promotion and Shogakukan. Three products go on sale: a set combining the kimono costume with the dance motion and music gimmick for 1,650 yen, and the costume alone or the gimmick alone for 1,100 yen each. The gimmick lets desktop users dance the Matsuken Samba II along with the music. A limited-time event runs in the TOKYO AVATAR GATE world on VRChat from September 12 to October 2, 2026. During the event, an 'All-Night Matsuken Time Signal' plays the song once an hour at five minutes past, and twice an hour on Fridays. The world also holds a hunt for 10 hidden Mini Matsuken figures and a photo spot with Ken Matsudaira's 3D model and a gold flurry filter.
