A twitter update from the SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku Project staff member @nakanohito_1go has hinted that the upcoming Playstation 4 port of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Arcade Future Tone (simply titled Project Diva Future Tone) could feature at least 213 playable songs upon its release.

The first photo shows the song Electro Saturator by Tilt-Six highlighted, while the song counter in the lower left corner of the screen shows “213 songs”. The last photo amusingly shows the SEGA staff member losing the stage on normal difficulty.

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone is expected to land on the PlayStation 4 sometime later in 2016. Stay tuned for further news updates!

The Siren outfit for Dollfie Dream Hatsune Miku has been announced for international order via VOLKS website store. The order will come with the outfit solely, and we hope this information will be considered prior to any purchase(s) made.

The outfit was designed by wogura for the song This is the Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee by UtataP. A quick and precise decision is strongly advised as the item has been announced for limited quantity on the site.

International orders for the outfit will be opened on January 16th, 2016 at 12:00 JST. The outfit sale will also be held at the Dolls Party 34 After Event event on the same date. We’ve gathered a gallery of the product from the site below, showing Miku in her dazzling outfit with stars and the moon acting as her background.

The Snow Miku 2016 website received a large and exciting news update today covering many topics, so we’ll try to summarize them below. The Snow Miku Festival is a joint collaboration with the yearly Sapporo Snow Festival, and will be open from February 5th until February 11th JST.

lovelive
Possibly the largest of the announcements is the reveal of an official collaboration with Love Live! School Idol Project, a highly popular Japanese multimedia project that has went on to produce various albums, video games, music videos and even an anime series.

Similar to last year’s collaboration with Madoka Magica, there will be Love Live! snow sculptures carved alongside the Snow Miku sculptures. Additional collaboration details will be announced later, but we can likely expect various goods to be produced with this theme. The above illustration with Snow Miku 2016 posed with the μ’s was created to commemorate the special collaboration.




After being teased a few times in promotional videos, the full Snow Miku 2016 theme song, along with a cute music video, is now available on the official Hatsune Miku YouTube channel!

The theme song is titled “Before The Snow Melts”, and features music composed by Doriko, with the artwork and video created by Haruyo and Maku, respectively.

Artist comments will be posted here in English soon.
