I hope you’re not too overloaded with Vocaloid merchandise after Christmas, because DaniwellP has decided to toss another awesome gift our way. As most educated Vocaloid fans should know, the original Nya! meme was started by DaniwellP on nicovideo back in July 2010. The song was used in various videos and even remade countless times, until it finally hit gold status on a global scale with Nyan Cat.

To celebrate the massive success of his original creation, DaniwellP is releasing a special album with many of his popular feline related tracks, as well as various remixes! With 22 bright and cheerful tracks, you can bet it will lift your mood and put a smile on your face. The album is currently listed on cdjapan for 1905 yen, although they also ship internationally. The first press is sold out, so there’s no bonus items. The album is set to ship on February 1st.

And with that, enjoy this preview of the album posted by the artist himself.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, since SEGA and Crypton decided to throw us an extra gift. A video released on the Official Project Diva youtube channel reveals what is supposedly PV footage from the next Project Diva title under development. From the resolution of the video, there is strong suspicion that this is likely video from a PS Vita. It sports some pretty nice enhancements over the versions on the PSP. Lighting effects, hair physics, and even polygon count have improved dramatically.

The description then teases “The next PROJECT DIVA is coming in 2012″. If you’ve been questioning buying a PS Vita, this will certainly help a lot of Vocaloid and PjD fans make up their minds. Watch the video for yourself on the official channel, or watch below.

The model looks a lot like the one from the Sapporo and Singapore concerts…

The recently accounced Nendoroid Shuukan Hajimete no Miku Hatsune from Goodsmile Company has now hit pre-order status. This model is based on a popular comic that is still currently being published in Japan. She is not exactly very sociable, and her 3 different expressions don’t do to much to deny that fact. Yet she’s still cute as ever!

The figurine includes a stand, a microphone, ice cream, a baseball, and even a papercraft box as part of the set. Feel free to read more about it, and check out images from goodsmile above. If you’re interested in buying one, you can place your pre-order over here for 2600 JPY ($34 USD).

Here’s a quick preview of the figurine itself. If you know any other pre-order sources that are inexpensive and ship internationally, please post it in the comments!
