Hatsune Miku’s crushing popularity has injured an old woman, when her Snow Miku statue collapsed on top of her for reasons unknown.
The incident occurred at the annual Sapporo Snow Festival. where Snow Miku has become a regular fixture. As part of the festivities, one public park was graced by a 3m tall snow statue of Snow Miku.
An elderly woman in her sixties was hospitalised with moderate injuries when Miku’s head mysteriously fell off and hit her in the back.
Police are investigating the cause of the incident, although it has been noted that Sapporo temperatures this year are slightly higher than average, and some suspect this might have been a factor.
As befits Miku’s great importance, a small army of police descended upon the scene and cameras clamoured to record the aftermath:
The event’s organisers have apologised for the incident, but Snow Miku will return – her effigy is being rebuilt, and should be ready to menace festival-goers on the 11th of February.

ha, sure i feel sorry for the old lady. but it makes me laugh thinking that the anime characters themselves are starting to fight back against all the old people that repeatedly attack anime and manga.
Ishihara should visit Sapporo
Except... Miku is not from either an Anime or a Manga.
Just saying.
I think if she was "attacking anime and manga", she probably wouldn't be standing next to a statue of Hatsune Miku. (unless she was physically attacking it of course, though that seems unlikely.)
On another note, did they get enough Police there? I think they could have squeezed in a few more around that small pile of snow. It might jump in the air and attack someone. Perhaps they just thought the scene too horrific, what with Miku dismembered and all, and were trying to shield the eyes of the public.
Miku...BODY SLAM!!
was super effective
so the granny is dragon/grass/flying type?
no the guy in the movie which dies while tripping over the cat during his attempt to murder the granny. oh... offtopic sryz
more like headbutt
Rollout XD
Pokemon reference.
When Vocaloids Attack, next on Fox.
If the poor old woman was attacked by a snow-statue of Kagamine Rin, I would have said it was due to a "Meltdown" . . .
so if someone got attacked by a metal statue of Megurine Luka it'll be cuz of 'Magnet'
OH MY GOD IS SHE OK? I mean the statue.
People Who go to see the statue before feburary 11th will really wonder about the "Disappearance of Hatsune Miku" XD
Oh gawd no...
Snow Miku is getting even with the Old Grannies who are disgusted with their Hikikomori grandsons & grand daughters.
Its probably the Obachan's & Jiichan's who are sabotaging the Miku Vids on You Tube.
They're just getting even for their grand sires wasting their inheritance on otaku collectables and projects.
Fighting the Frizzies, at 11.
She voted for Ishihara.
According to FOX, Snow Miku is a communist liberal elitist creating force set to destroy America... starting with this one woman.
HuffPo's missing an idiot.
LOL XD
If someone sabotaged her, heads will roll.
I saw what you did there
Jelly old lady ripped her head off and got caught in the mess.
Miku Murder Mystery Series GO!!
I say it was the Security Guard! The security Guard has A family member who's sculpture was being out shined by Miku's, THUS Sabotage :O bun bun buuunnnn
It's those damned Koreans trying to further sully Miku's name!
I'm TOTALLY serious
Goddamn Koreans, trying to steal the limelight of our glorious Miku.
You MOTHERFUCKER
She got lucky
Its not every day you get attacked by an anime goddess ;)
I'd probably want her to attack in flesh...not in ice..
Close enough for me
might cause frostbite in the nether regions...guess i'll pass
....some how I actually agreed with you... I mean really, How many people can say, "I was once attacked By a Snow Goddess of music!" - thats a story that'll last a life time! also Who can say, I got in a Fight with an Anime (style) Character! and LOST! XD
Shit that granny just stolen my chance of sudden girl friend appearance situation. I want to have a Moe goddess slammed into me too
No doubt this was the work of the Koreans to try and kill off Miku just like that youtube incident.
Snow Miku's been Mami'd!
Snow Miku strikes back
Did anyone make a Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon at this festival?
Where's Zura when you need him?
Yeah... I always find it funny when snow falls on people, but when old women gets a heavy statue snow on them, I still giggled for somereason. :V
Yeah, I knew it was wrong and that the old lady was really hurt. But I still burst out laughing when I read this. I must be a bad person.
Ah, same case for me! I always laugh when people run over a truck, but when a truck run over someone, i still laugh for some reason
Japan menaced by collapsing snow Mikus!
Hatsune Miku my be pure as snow, that won't stop her from crushing you with her lovely figure!
so this was an example of how infidels will be obliterated without mercy by our goddess?
It was just mikus time of the month and best to leave them girls be!
the old lady probably sabotage the statue on purpose and it went badly
Miku forgives and wanna hug her...which leads to this inexplicable conclusion
the old lady was probably blind like a dog.
Probably one of the lackeys of Ishihara wanting to stamp out indecent Miku, and was dumb enough to stay close while put down :(
Hehehe after being almost banned from youtube Miku begins his revenge trail ...
I'm agree with your statement.
Old people can be mentaly ill!
