Recent buzz has been circulating about SEGA of Japan’s interest in bringing Project Diva Arcade (or some version of it) to select home consoles, and they have opened a poll on their own DIVA.NET site to gauge interest from fans.

The idea is intriguing, as SEGA has expressed in the past that they were interested in making a game similar to Project Diva Arcade for the PS4, due to its new touch-enabled controller. But simply porting the full Arcade game to home consoles could negatively impact the popularity of the actual arcade units. So SEGA might be considering some other kind of idea.

Many sites seem to have excluded how to vote from their own news publications, so we’re happy to help with that. Please note that voting requires a DIVA.NET account (which requires proper registration with your Project Diva Arcade card). There is a 300vp reward for completing the survey. Voting ends April 24th (JST)!

Japan Airlines Flight Attendants Dance to “39 feat. Hatsune Miku”

A recent promotional video shows the flight attendants of Japan Airlines (JAL) dancing to the popular Hatsune Miku song “39” in cheer style outfits, to help promote their participation at the upcoming Niconico Chokaigi event later this month.

The support and love for Hatsune Miku from a company as large as JAL is certainly something to see, and they’ve definitely attracted the interest of the Vocaloid community demographic. They will be be offering a “flight simulator” activity, along with the chance of a stepcar photo (this is a thing?) at the event. I wonder if we’ll ever see a Hatsune Miku itasha jumbo jet?

Niconico Chokaigi will take place between April 25th and 26th at the Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Center in Chiba.
