Two all-new Hatsune Miku scale figures have been announced this week, with very different designs and sizes. These are the 1/4 scale Snow Miku figure from FREEING, and the 1/8 scale “Hana Iro Koromo” ver. Hatsune Miku figure from Stronger, a relatively new figure company. Both figures were revealed yesterday at the Snow Miku Sky Town shop at New Chitose airport in Sapporo.

The Snow Miku figure borrows largely from the recently released and popular Hatsune Miku V3 figure, with some changes to the pose and color pallet. The smile was changed, and a snowflake was added to the outstretched left hand. Presales for the figure will open at Snow Miku Sky Town in February 2016, with online web orders to follow soon afterwards. The price is set for 27,800 Yen.

The 1/8 scale “Hana Iro Koromo” (colorful clothes) version figure was unfortunately not on physical display at the shop, but photos of the prototype were included on its teaser display. It is based on this beautiful illustration by Fujichoko, which was created for other various promotional goods at the Snow Miku Sky Town shop.

Sega has released the fourth information update for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X today. This update presents us with two newly announced features: Event Quest and Special Live, as well as additional songs and medley. Both features will be available upon meeting certain conditions in game.

The Event Quest feature is one of the newly implemented features in Project DIVA X which will be released from time to time in accordance with the game progress. These quests provide much higher Voltage rewards in return for their challenging tasks. Players may also engage in conversation with characters in the “Home” area to get hold of the event quests’ details and more.


Next we have the Special Live feature, a new gameplay mechanics simulating a live concert experience up to three songs consecutively. The combination of song(s), module(s), and stage are choices for the players to be made entirely, which in turn allows more diversity for each live. Furthermore, the stages come in different elements and atmospheres and the songs are specially edited for the best concert experience. An image of one of the live halls filled with glow sticks can be seen below.


In addition, Sega has also released the teaser images for the opening movie based on the newly composed opening “Tsumi no Namae/Name of the Crime” by Ryo (Supercell). As we previously mentioned, a 64 second demo can be listened from the official Project Diva X website and the main SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku Project website.


Below are the lists of the newly announced songs, medley, and modules for the game.
