Some good news for overseas fans: Livestreaming will be available for the MATSURI DA DIVA event on March 9th. What is “MATSURI DA DIVA”? It was an event announced by SEGA to celebrate the launch of Project Diva F 2nd, before it was unfortunately delayed. Despite that setback, they have decided to continue with the event.

Livestream Link: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv170733910
Ticket page: https://secure.live.nicovideo.jp/event/matsuri_da_diva

As for the details, the event will feature the voice actors for all Crypton Vocaloids, as well as the 39’s band from the previous 39’s Giving Day concert events. They will perform live, followed by a mini concert event based somewhat on the popular Magical Mirai concert event from last summer. 6 songs are planned for this part of the event.

Viewing the livestream will require 1000 Nicovideo points, which costs 1,000 Yen (ticket page linked above). Points can be purchased using a credit card, but debit cards do not seem to work. The event can be enjoyed by viewers worldwide, and can also be watched again if you timeshift the event. The doors open starting at 17:30 JST (12:30 AM PST), and the event is scheduled to start at 18:00 JST (1:00 AM PST). Below is a clock of the current time in Japan. Enjoy the show!

In a nearly last minute announcement by Kahotan from Good Smile Company, it was revealed that orders will be reopened for Nendoroid Meiko and Hatsune Miku 2.0 starting March 7th (tomorrow!). It’s been roughly one year since the first batch of orders opened for the Miku 2.0 Nendoroid, and it looks like there is still a strong demand.

Kahotan says to simply check the Good Smile online shop for updates tomorrow. Pricing, order periods and shipment dates are not yet confirmed, but should be announced soon. I will update this article when that information is revealed.

UPDATE: The website has been updated! Here’s the information:

-> Shop link for Hatsune Miku 2.0 Nendoroid <- -> Shop link for Meiko Nendoroid <- Orders for both Nendoroids will be open until March 19th at 9:00 PM JST. Pricing is set at 4011 Yen ($39) for The Miku 2.0 Nendoroid, and 3086 Yen ($30) for Meiko. The expected shipment period for both figures is June 2014. Additionally, if you order the Miku 2.0 Nendoroid from Good Smile Company's online shop, it will include the carrying pouch preorder bonus.
