PS3's Project DIVA F's new songs and costumes

"Tell Your World" and "Sweet Devil" first songs announced for the PS3 port of "Hatsune Miku Project Diva F" 


Tell your world by Kz from livetune

Kz from Livetune's "Tell Your World" which won awards for its Google Chrome advertising campaign, has been announced for Project Diva F on the Playsataion 3. As previously announced at the "Miku no jikan" There will be 6 new songs and as many as 11 new costumes. Wasting no time, Sega has released its songs and costumes. The first costume is designed by "redjuice" (The same person who designed Miku's "Iromote lovers" costume) 

"Linkage" by "redjuice"
The costume is named "Linkage" and is themed by Goolge Chrome's icon. The song "Tell Your World" became the image song for Google's browser "Google Chrome" As seen in the video below. Due to its release date it wasn't able to make it into the Project Diva Extend software making it the first game in the franchise's history to not have a new Ryo and Kz song. (The game's theme was only the song "Sekiranun Graffiti" by Ryo). The song however did appear at Miku's day concert finale.



The second song to be announced is "Sweet Devil" by "Hachioji P" (AKA "8#Prince") 


Sweet Devil by hachiojiP

Hachioji P who has been know for some of his amazing remixes had only in the last year came into his own. His first song "Electric Love" gained much respect for the former remix only DJ he was. However, the success of Electric Love was quickly overshadowed by "Sweet Devil". Shortly after the song was released, Vocaloid MMD PV director "wakamura" created an MMD (Miku Miku Dance) PV for it. The song shot up the vocaloid charts again. While Miku is usually portrayed as sweet or "tsundere", Sweet Devil showed her as a sexy temptress. Before long the song and the video became a meme among MMD users. The success of the project eventually led to a unstoppable team. The two even worked together to promote "Luo Tianyi" the first Chinese vocaloid. Below is the short version of the "Sweet Devil" video. 


The costume for Sweet Devil is named "Honey Whip" it is designed by "Saitom"

Finally Sega has given a silhouette of the next costume to be released. With no information or clues to who or where it comes from. 

Next Miku costume status Unknown

Project Diva F for the PS3

Project Diva finally makes the jump to PS3! (Sorta...)

A pending box art shot from "Miku no jikan 3rd round" 


Fans of the Sega X Crypton Future Media franchise "Hatsune Miku: Project Diva" Can finally play the game on the PS3! 

During the 3rd installment of "Miku no Jikan" Sega confirmed that the project Diva f would be launched on the PS3. Making it the first official PS3 version of Project Diva.

Of course some whistle blowers are saying "You can play the Dreamy Theater games on the PS3!" While this is true, Dreamy Theater is not a stand alone game. To play all versions of Dreamy Theater a PSP, a Project Diva app, and Project Diva save data are required. 

Official splash page

Project Diva F (the F has been capitalized to show the difference between the PS Vita and the PS3 versions) will be an independent game. No word yet if users will be able to use save data from the Vita version.

During the live broadcast, Sega also announced that the PS3 version will include 6 new songs unique to the PS3 version. A Sega representative at the broadcast estimated that they have close to 11 new costumes.  Giving no hints as to what the songs would be.

Japanese fans on BBS sites such as 2channel have stated that some of the songs might come from the 3DS game "Project Mirai" stating that the arcade version of Project Diva is slated to get some of the songs. While these songs are not confirmed for the PS3 version, they are confirmed for the arcade version.

Vacation time is over! Now its spring time!

Hey game fans how have you been? I know its been a long time T_T I've been busy on personal projects but alas I haven't forgotten you! A few Otome game updates.

Seishun hajimemashita!

The main cast of "Seishun hajimemashita!" 

The CD drama company "Honeybee" has moved into apps and now they are going the final stretch to the console realm. 
"Seishun Hajimemashita!" (Spring time of life!) takes an interesting twist on the dating sim genre. 
The game centers around a set of twins. The choices you make will affect who each twin ends up with. The cast includes characters of both genders and from preliminary shots and reports, there is no restrictions on who you can end up with. In short, BL, GL and everything in between.
