Live Stage Producer: SEGA’s First Portable Game For iOS AND Android
Those of you who own an Android based device and have prayed for SEGA to release a game for the platform, your prayers have been answered. I’ve been following the news of this announcement for the past 48 hours to gather enough info to help everyone get their hands on this release.
The game is being released for iPhone 4 (or iPod touch and iPad equivalent), and Android devices running Android 2.3 or higher. The game is free for download (with some ingame items costing real money) and is expected to release sometime in the Fall. The game is even set to be released in both Japanese AND English, although the English release is due to have some delay. The game is now accepting pre-registration applications, and you’ll find those links at the end of the article.
Game Details
The game goes by the name of Hatsune Miku Live Stage Producer, and features gameplay concepts similar to what people have experienced in the Idolm@ster series. You play as Miku’s producer who helps train her to be a better performer and hold live events. The more successful you are, the more money and rewards you’ll unlock.

What I find most interesting is that the game has both 2D and 3D game elements, with the 3D sections using the same models from the Project Diva series on PSP. Given the fact that modern smart phones have much higher resolution screens than the original PSP, the models will look much crisper by comparison.
Costume selection and even some gameplay is done with PjD style graphics.
Now that we’ve established that the game is free and what the gameplay is like, I’m sure you’re wondering how you can play it. Simply visit the game’s official page and then click the top button to navigate to the pre-registration form. You’ll see a field where you can enter your email. The two check boxes are for receiving emails regarding game updates and emails from SEGA, respectively. Once you are done, click the top button again to complete your registration. You should receive an email almost immediately. If not, check your spam box.
And that’s it! You’re now pre-registered to play the demo version of the game before the full version is released.
Okay. Project Diva (all three) on PSP weighs about 1,3 gb (since I’ve tried modding all three I know it well). We can expect fully loaded PSP game, but with MikuFlick gameplay. But, since it’s free, most of features will be paid (and expensive).
I’m glad to see an official Miku game being released on Android. The fact that it is also going to be English (even if it’s a bit delayed) is also a very positive development. So thank you Sega and Crypton for doing this. Good luck on the success of the game!
“..Android devices running Android 2.3 or higher..”
Damn.
OK then. 1 question and a statement X3
Statement: When I pre-registered and clicked on the link that my email sent me, since I’m on my android TABLET, will this still work? Because when I clicked on the link it says “webpage not available” (android users you know what I’m talking about). Please help!
Question: Can somebody pleeeeease translate all the Japanese stuff? I really need to know what I’m clicking on D:
@MammaMiku: The demo wont be available until a little later, but now you’re pre-registered. Now you just need to wait a little bit until the demo is available. Then you’ll have a chance to play the game before the full version is released.
Lol, thank you soooooooo much! Will the full game cost any real money? Or just the in-game items and download free? Oh, and when is the demo coming out? I already told my friend that I was getting the demo and she said she wanted to see me play it, so could you pweesh tell me when “a little later” is? Thanks!

@MammaMiku: I can’t really say, but you should receive an email notification when it’s available. The game itself is free, and some ingame items are purchased with real money. But these are optional. Remember, they also said they’ll be releasing an English version.
Oh my gosh. Thank you sooosoososososososososo much! Is there any other Hatsune Miku games I could play to hold me over until the demo comes?

I did go over some various Miku related games and programs in this post: [Link]
Thank you sooooo much for all your help, (sorry if I come off a little rude here) but I’ve already seen that article. I’m sorry if I’m annoying you with all the questions, posts, and comments, but I’m so excited I can’t even put it into words

My iPod is too old D:
東京ゲームショウ期間限定事前登録の、受付期間は終了いたしました。
the reception period for the limited time only Tokyo gameshow pre-release signup has ended
then it comes up in red that “this email is not registered”
what am i doing wrong??
@otoko: It means just that. Pre-registration is already finished. There’s no more free slots.
@otoko: Sorry you can’t sign up anymore.
I was one of the lucky ones who found it early, though!
does it have rin(kawaii roadroller-girl), len(shota), luka(damsel-in-distress), kaito(ice-cream man, you’re still a guy) and meiko(drunken but hot lady) avatars? i wanna play it!!!!! im a huge fan!!! pwease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m just saying, does it have these modules: Kagamine Rin/Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO AND KAITO? I want to play it! And my happiness would be successful until there’ll be an english version. XD
NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I just checked out the site, and saw “App in Google Play Store”. I gasped in surprise, and clicked on it so quick, I swear this was faster than Lightning. Then. IT happened. “Your device is not compatible with this version.” Any Android user’s worst nightmare. I’m so pissed. JRHARBORT, any idea how to make it actually COMPATIBLE with the game? I was soexcited for nothing :c
@mammamiku: Just make sure your device runs at least Android OS 2.3. I also suggest that you wait patiently for the English release (it’s not out yet). There’s ways to install the Japanese version, but it involves rooting your phone. You cannot install the Japanese version normally.
