It’s finally happening!

For serious fans that have been following the news since last February, we finally have an answer from SEGA regarding the release of Project Diva F for PS3 for North America and Europe: The game will be launched this August in North America in both physical and digital formats, and digital format for Europe. Downloadable demos will be made available on June 11th for the U.S., and June 12th for Europe.

The hint of this announcement came last night from nakanohito_1go on twitter. Shortly after, the official Japanese blog published a post in English. The post explains how we made this possible, and how they hope for our support to make PjD F successful. In the Japanese section of the article, they explain that the western launch wont contain any extra features over the Japanese version, just a translated user interface and romaji lyrics.

Sony, Crypton and SEGA are both working to hype up the release. You can find additional posts on Sony’s PlayStation Blog, SEGA’s blog, SEGA’s Facebook page, and also Crypton’s official Hatsune Miku Facebook page.

For those of you who didn’t purchase and import the Japanese version, are you looking to buy the local release once it’s available?

In its first update in over 2 years, MikuMikuDance has finally received another updated release on June 1st, 2013. Development for the highly popular animation tool was ceased in mid-2011 by its creator, Higuchi U, after he added support for PMX format models. This sudden announcement comes as surprising news indeed. Perhaps he may pick up further development of the program.

Not much is known about the update, except for a few things:

• Improvements to program speed and response time.
• Improvements to stability, bug fixes.
• MMD now remembers your last open and save folder locations.

WARNING: THERE IS A REPORT BY HIGUCHI U OF AN ILLEGITIMATE COPY OF THE NEW MIKUMIKUDANCE FLOATING AROUND CONTAINING A VIRUS. PLEASE ONLY DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM FROM ITS OFFICIAL SOURCE, LINKED BELOW!

The new program version is labeled as MikuMikuDance 7.39ｍ, and can be downloaded from the same site as its predecessor. This is the official website by Higuchi U himself: http://www.geocities.jp/higuchuu4/index_e.htm

For those who use MikuMikuMoving, an MMD alternative that is also in constant development, the program recently updated to version 1.2.1.3 on June 2nd, 2013. You can download the updated version from here: https://sites.google.com/site/moggproject/mmm_eng
