I'd sell my soul for Sakura Miku. Also it works perfectly, very interactive and adorable.

This is a great application that I use everytime my computer is on having Miku on my screen is just soo cool and she has cute little interactions with your mouse as well as being easily movable with size customization and alarm features, in the future I NEED them to add AI chat compatibility but the lack of that in no way makes it or the DLC I purchased unenjoyable in the slightest

Please let me run this in the background without needing steam open like how Wallpaper Engine works. Let me have it automatically open on startup. And let me minimize the window to tray while program is running rather than having its own window app on the task bar.
