Hatsune Miku Live Stage Producer

Sega's new golden child "Miku Hatsune" moves to the mobile platform yet again.


Hatsune Miku Live Stage Producer

The mobile game "Hatsune Miku Live Stage Producer" which will be available for iOS and Android devices is a "simulation RPG"

The premise is that you own a concert hall which features Miku. Through a point system the player can entertain the people with a concert.

Using an "appeal" move will draw the crowd to the concert and increase their enjoyment level.

Miku will have costumes from previous Project Diva games.

Through trainning and contests the player can earn points and items. These points can be traded in for
different costumes, songs, background stages and appeal moves.

During concert performances the player needs to swipe hearts to make a combo. The higher the combo the better your score and the more live points you can use.

The live points will be needed to make your concert hall bigger and bigger.

Bombs are also present during the concert performance. They will break your combo and lower your score.

Sega hasn't release a date or a pice for the game. They only promise it will be release this year.

The game will be available for iOS (4 or higher) and Android (2.3 or higher)

screen shots to follow later!

Project Diva ~f~ DLC costumes.


Neru, Haku, and Teto announced as DLC costumes



Fans of  SEGA's collaboration game Project Diva ~f~ for the Playstation Vita can throw more money at the company!

Teto Kasane, Haku Yowane, & Neru Akita


Sega announced at their TGS day 1 Project Diva panel the first of hopefully many downloadable costumes.
"Fake" Vocaloids (Known as Vipploids, Voykailoids, and BOKAloid amongst other names)

So who are they really? Many people know their names and songs but how did they come to be?

Teto Kasane

Teto's Project Diva ~f~ skin. 


The only one of our girls to have actually become a vocal bank.

Teto started out as a prank on popular web page "2channel" She was created with the intent of tricking Vocaloid fans. The video "Uso no utahime" [Fake Diva] Explains the rise and fall of Teto Kasane. Teto who didn't have a voice was given one by a Vocaloid rival program called "UTAU"
Despite this, both Crypton Future Media and KEI (the illustrator of the Crypton's Vocaloid Character series) have recognized Teto as part of the Crypton Vocaloid family.


While Neru and Haku have been included in the Project Diva games Teto was excluded. The reasons being that she is neither an official Miku derivative, nor a Vocaloid. However, SEGA was able to add her as a DLC for Project Diva 2nd.

Haku Yowane

Haku Yowane's Project Diva ~f~ skin.

Haku started her existence as a tag in Nico Nico Douga videos. Used to describe videos that used Miku but ended up sounding bad, Haku represents those who have tried and failed at composing Vocaloid songs.
After the tag became popular artists gathered to create an avatar and Haku was born. Her name means "To utter bad things)


Haku is recognized as an official "Miku derivative" meaning she uses Miku's voice to sing. Despite this both Haku and Neru are rarely seen singing. Usually the dance or are background scenery. Haku has only ever had one song to make it on Vocaloid rankings. The song "Daughter of White", a part of the "Story of Evil" arc, tells of Haku's roll in the story.

Neru Akita 



When a Television program in 2007 slammed those who used the Vocaloid program, the internet quickly cut Miku off from the world. Outraged, Miku fans took to the internet to complain. While many got riled up some people just brushed off the news saying "I'm going to bed". (Aa, Neru) For those fans who cared but pretended not to, Neru Akita was created to represent. Her name means "I'm bored, I'm going to bed" 





 Forever with her cell phone in hand, Neru hardly talks or sings. She is well known for being either in the band or a dancer. Her most popular role is that of the cell phone composer in the video "Triple Baka"
Neru like Haku appeared in Project Diva and Project Diva 2nd. Both girls received two outfits and a swimming suit along side their default costumes.

While SEGA has announced that these girls will be DLC for Project Diva ~f~ they have neither released a date or a price.

Among-st the chaos of TGS announcements and preparations, Sega announced the newest installment of their hit rhythm game series "Miku Hatsune Project Diva"

For those with access to Playstation Network JP, Sega has announced the final details of "Dreamy Theater EXTEND".

So just what is "Project Diva: Dreamy Theater?"

Dreamy Theater is an ongoing compilation of the PSP Project Diva games ported to the Playstation 3. It comes with the interface of the game and the songs/costumes for purchased packs. I.E. if you bought Dreamy Theater 2, songs and costumes that come with the game and ones you have purchased as DLC for Project Diva 2nd will be available*, but not the ones for original Dreamy Theater.

Using a tab system the player can go through the packs they have purchased and play the songs in HD graphics. For Dreamy Theater 2 and EXTEND, users with a 3D television can utilize this function and play in 3D.

Dreamy Theater requires save game data from the PSP version. The data is then transfered through a free app that can be downloaded from PSNjp. After the transfer, all songs and costumes you have unlocked through play are playable on Dreamy Theater.

NOW! On to the fun stuff! 
The new updates to Project Diva EXTEND and song list!
