Omaru Polka Unveils Sixth-Anniversary Circus Day Merchandise, Including a Matching Hoodie

HOLOLIVE — Omaru Polka announced a line of merchandise marking her sixth year of activity and Circus Day on Monday, revealing the items during a stream built around questions from viewers. The lineup includes an acrylic stand, a mini acrylic diorama stand that assembles into a small room, a plush in a loungewear version, and a hoodie designed to match her own.

Polka said the goods were originally meant for her anniversary period, but she asked for the release to be pushed back because so many other items were launching then and she did not want fans’ wallets stretched. A full set comes with a card and an “always with you” good-morning voice message; a limited-quantity version adds a signed card. She called the hoodie her first apparel in a while and said she had been surprised that some viewers had guessed it was coming.

The announcement itself made her nervous. “I’ve never announced something like this before, so it’s a little embarrassing,” she said, before walking viewers through each item. The store page was not yet live when she first tried to link it, and she pinned a post instead. The items went on sale during the stream, and viewers began posting that they had bought them. The stream drew 26 Super Chats.

Before the reveal, Polka worked through the mailbag. She said Circus Day was something she had wanted to keep alive, recalled the one year she marked it with video guests, and answered how fans should address her (any way they like). At a viewer’s request she spun her propeller on camera for the first time in a long while, then showed off a run of costume combinations with whiskers, a whistle, headphones and a headset, and a mask whose transparency she could adjust. Later she showed a matching hair accessory she made with Luna.

Looking ahead, Polka said she wants to do something much larger for next year’s Circus Day, and mentioned a year-long project and a voice-drama project among the things she hopes to try. She also said covers and original songs are in the works, and that she has recording work the next day.
