Background

“Who's the next Alice? The hottest event in the New York fashion industry, the "Alice in New York" Fashion Week will be held from 9-6 to 9-14!! Will that "Miku" be the winner again this year? Who will take home the crown as the top icon of this dreamland runway—?”
—Author's comment

"Alice in N.Y." is an original song by teamOS. It was uploaded to bilibili on April 10, 2019. It is one of their most notable songs, and one of the most popular Vocaloid group renditions.

After being bullied in the past, a fashion designer (Len) is lured to the wonderland known as New York after seeing the "White Rabbit" and current Alice, Miku, currently working alongside top models "Bill the Lizard" (MAYU) and the "Cheshire Cat" (Luka) to win a fashion show that crowns the next Alice of New York. Miku had manipulated him previously by toying with his heart, leaving him upset broken. She mocks him with the words: "Chase me, Fashonista".

He goes to the "Caterpillar & Co." advertising agency, where he meets the "Queen of Hearts" (MEIKO), the leader of the fashion brand "Maymay", and the CEO, "Caterpillar" (KAITO). Caterpillar rejects the designs while Queen loves them, and she hires Len as a designer.

Shortly afterwards, an aspiring model (Rin) heads out into New York, where she is scouted by Caterpillar and employed as a model. Caterpillar presents Rin to the first class fashion designer "Mad Hatter" (Gackpo), the popular photographer "March Hare" (GUMI), and the leader of the fashion magazine "Mad Fashionista", "Dormouse" (IA), much to their excitement. They promote her in the magazine with Mad Hatter's designs, much to Bill's frustration.

Len and Mad Hatter continue working, and each finish their final dresses. At the fashion show, Bill steals Mad Hatter's dress and Miku wears it down the runway. This horrifies Rin and Mad Hatter and upsets Cheshire. Rin then goes across the runway in Len's outfit. This shocks almost everyone including Mad Hatter, Dormouse, March Hare, Bill, Caterpillar, Queen, and especially Miku. It also delights Cheshire who seemingly had a change of heart. Realizing she has been beaten, Miku collapses on the floor weeping. Rin comes up to her with a handkerchief, reveals herself to actually be none other than Len, and throws back the "Chase me Fashonista" taunt at her. Having proven himself not only to be a great designer but also a better model, he has outclassed Miku in every way and becomes the new Alice in New York, getting his revenge.

This song quickly became popular, entering the Hall of Fame a week after its upload. It also exceeded 1 million views on YouTube.
