The festival brings Mio’s original anime MV, creator challenges, video tools, and limited-time summer rewards to users worldwide.
NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — PixAI, an anime-style AI art platform and creator community, has introduced the Ice Pop Paradise Summer Festival, a worldwide seasonal program that blends original music and animation, character narratives, AI-powered image and video creation, creative contests, daily rewards, and time-limited summer decorations.
Taking place from July 29 at 5:00 p.m. until August 18 at 12:00 p.m. JST, the event welcomes users to accompany PixAI mascot Mio in a mid-summer world filled with ice pops, festival booths, evening lights, and seasonal tales. Participants can earn PixAI credits, Tsubaki.2 generation cards, and exclusive profile decorations while engaging in activities on PixAI and social media platforms.
The campaign’s centerpiece is the original animated music video “In Search of Summer Hues.” With cicada chirps, evening breezes, festival lights, and quiet summer encounters as its backdrop, the MV traces Mio through fleeting moments that slowly turn into lasting memories.
The original song is performed by Japanese voice actress and singer Mika Kohinata, best known for portraying Soyo Nagasaki and playing bass for MyGO!!!!! in the BanG Dream! franchise. Lyrics, composition, and arrangement were handled by Takaaki Kimura of KEYTONE, with Maki Hanagata on guitar, Yuki Natsume on bass, and Takeaki Oshima responsible for mixing. The animation was produced by the PixAI Animation Team.
PixAI is using the MV’s music, visuals, and atmosphere as a foundation for community creation. Users are free to reimagine its summer themes through illustrations, videos, comics, character scenes, and visual narratives.
The campaign also unveils the seasonal story “The Height of Summer.” Set on an island where the end of summer seems to linger, the tale follows Mio through familiar streets, sea breezes, ferry arrivals, lantern light, and small everyday moments. One chapter becomes available each day, and anyone who reads the story can earn a Tsubaki.2 generation card. PixAI has also revealed plans for an anime adaptation, with further details to come later.
The MV Fan Creation Challenge encourages participants to take inspiration from the song or MV scenes, produce images or videos with PixAI, and share their work on designated platforms. Reward categories include Amazon gift cards, physical merchandise, PixAI credits, and participation prizes. Eligible creators can win Amazon gift cards valued at up to $300, and every creator who submits a valid entry via the official form will receive a participation reward.
PixAI is also running an MV release campaign on X. Those who follow the official PixAI account, like, and repost the designated campaign post will be entered for a chance to win rewards from a combined $250 Amazon gift card prize pool.
A separate PixAI platform contest, the Ice Pop Paradise Summer Festival Contest, invites creators to submit artwork inspired by Ice Pop Paradise, summer festivals, Mio, or summer-night scenes. Winning entries will share a prize pool of 54.5 million PixAI credits. Entries posted on X are also eligible for extra rewards, including a $1,000 Amazon gift card and 9 million PixAI credits.
To make video creation more accessible during the event, PixAI is temporarily opening its v3.0 Lite image-to-video model to all users with no membership needed. PixAI is also offering discounted v4.0 video-generation cards, including the Lite model for $5 and the Preview model for $12, with 10 generation cards included in each package.
Daily event rewards include Tsubaki.2 generation cards: basic users can claim one card per day, while members can claim three. The Ice Pop Stick Draw also gives users daily chances to win prizes, including up to 30,000 PixAI credits and bonus rewards of up to 50%.
The event features a set of limited summer decorations, including exclusive badges and avatar frames inspired by ice pops, festival stalls, beach scenery, desserts, and evening lights.
Annual memberships are offered at 50% off during the campaign. Credit-pack purchases come with up to 40% bonus credits and the limited avatar frame set “Whispers Among Blossoms.” Users who buy the featured $180 early-bird Ice Pop Paradise credit pack between July 29 and August 9 will also receive the limited cosmetic item “Honeyed Sundae.”
PixAI is also offering a Mio.2 Gem Pack for $3, available for repeated purchases throughout the event, with an extra 30% Gem bonus included with every purchase.
“The Ice Pop Paradise Summer Festival was created to give users different ways to enter the same summer world,” said a Mewtant spokesperson. “Through the original MV, Mio’s seasonal story, creative challenges, video tools, and daily rewards, users can experience the festival as both viewers and creators, adding their own characters, scenes, and stories.”
Guided by the slogan “Imagination, made real,” PixAI continues to develop anime-focused creation tools and community experiences that help users turn inspiration into finished visual works.
