After what has seemed like an eternity in Internet years, we have finally updated the site to a more modern theme, along with an all new header artwork by the illustrator Gumo on Pixiv. We’re very thankful for his contribution!

The update brings some speed and compatibility improvements, as well as an improved mobile user experience (we’re still working on making the header image resize properly, sorry!). Also added is a new “Submit News Suggestion” page from the navigation bar. All of this should make for an easier and richer media experience for both our writers and visitors.

MikuFan.com was first launched on March 4th, 2008, and featured the same artwork and theme up until now. Thanks again for supporting MikuFan for all these years!

We are adding a new featured category to our site for Hatsune Miku fans to enjoy: Illustrations! The huge illustrative community behind Hatsune Miku is undoubtedly one of her largest staples. So with that, we’d like to begin by sharing “Ballet Miku”, an original and creative idea from KD on Pixiv. The strong up-front lighting and gentle blue hues gives the illustration a rather mystic atmosphere.

Follow the preview below to view the full-size artwork on Pixiv, and be sure to comment, rate and bookmark the illustration to show support for the illustrator!

Project Mirai DX, the unique 3D rhythm game developed specifically for the Nintendo 3DS™ system, will now launch on Sept. 8, in North America and Sept. 11 in Europe from SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe, Ltd. respectively. The game will be available in stores and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS for the originally announced price of $39.99USD or $49.99CAD in North America.

In North America, SEGA will offer a special physical Launch Edition at retailers nationwide. This launch edition of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX will include the game, premium outer box packaging, and a wallet chain designed after Hatsune Miku’s iconic belt – a simple and stylish way for fans to represent their love for Miku. All copies of the game will include 19 double-sided augmented reality (AR) cards that show off additional dance moves and costumes.

In collaboration with Good Smile Company, a popular Japanese figure company, Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX features Miku and all of her friends in their Nendoroid figure style.  The game features 48 full-length versions of fan-favorite songs players can challenge themselves with by trying to match the rhythm in “Tap Mode” and “Button Mode,” each with multiple difficulty levels, which can be further augmented with challenge and support items.

But the rhythm game is just one facet of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX – players can also customize a virtual apartment for their favorite Miku character with decorations, seasonal items, and more. The Mirai Theater has replay functions so players can watch their favorite videos and add scrolling commentary. Choreograph entirely new routines by making new moves in the Dance Studio, and compose brand new song phrases in My Tune. This info can all be shared on customizable Profile Cards, which can be shared via StreetPass™ and kept current via SpotPass™.
