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…

I’ve been spending small bits of free time over the past few days playing the game, so I’m only about halfway through it. But so far it’s making a pretty nice successor to 2nd, and even brings back some of the features from the first game.

I’ll quickly go over some changes and features offered in the game, so those of you interested in buying a copy will know what you’re getting. Read the full story for more! (more…)

As I’m sure you’ve heard before, there will be a live concert in Singapore later tonight, approximately 16 hours from now. Those who cannot attend it in person can conveniently watch the live stream online as it happens! It’s not the same as actually being there, but it’s the next best thing. So those who want to watch it as it happens can head over here to buy your online viewing pass.

Those who can’t watch it tonight can still purchase a ticket and watch it anytime online for the next two weeks after the concert ends.

For those of you in Singapore, and all over the world… Have fun and enjoy the show!
