SEGA and Colorful Palette have come bearing a surprise announcement for Hatsune Miku’s 14th anniversary: A planned and soon-coming English localization of Project SEKAI: Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku! Check out the official announcement trailer above.

The Western release will be renamed to “Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!”, likely to help put more emphasis on Crypton Future Media’s characters, versus the other original characters also present in the game.

The original Japanese release of the mobile rhythm game has been available on Android and iOS for about a year, and proved popular among Western fans despite not having an official English translation.

The launch date of the English release is set for later in 2021, so stay tuned for that announcement!

The early prototype design of Hatsune Miku with a ponytail by KEI, named “Hatsune Miku if”, has been made into a Nendoroid and is ready to preorder!

A “What if?” version of Hatsune Miku from an alternate reality.
From “Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku” comes a Nendoroid of Hatsune Miku based on an illustration by KEI from the art exhibition “Hatsune Miku Chronicle”. Based on the theme “What if a design without twintails was chosen for the original Hatsune Miku design?”, the ponytailed version of Hatsune Miku has been brought into Nendoroid form!

She comes with three face plates including a standard expression, a singing expression and an adorable angry expression with puffed out cheeks. A mic stand and a software box based on what could have been are both included as optional parts! Be sure to add this alternate reality version of Hatsune Miku to your collection!

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku: if Ver. is available for preorder exclusively from Good Smile Company’s online shop for 5,500 JPY ($54.99 USD), and is available for preorder until September 23rd, 2021 at 12:00 PM JST. She’s expected to ship out in December 2021.

Goodsmile Racing finishes the fourth round of Super GT in third place at the Suzuka International Circuit.

Some changes were made to the livery of the #4 Hatsune Miku AMG with the Haregi version of the 2021 Racing Miku on the bonnet of the car since there will be no 10 Hours of Suzuka race this year. And a collaboration with the streetwear brand Anti Social Social Club decorated on the rear wing of the car.

The race started off with the leading GT500 car, the #64 Modulo NSX suffering a brake failure and crashing into the foam barriers bringing out the Full Course Yellow (FCY) and then a safety car shortly after.

The race finished with a dominant Nissan victory in GT500 locking out the podium with the #23 Motul Autech taking the win. While in GT300 the #244 Takanaka-no-yu Supra won with the #4 Miku AMG crossing the finish line in third to secure their first podium this season.

With 11 points scored in this race, Goodsmile Racing currently stands 9th in the Drivers’ Ranking. We’re halfway through the season so it’s not over yet.

The next race will be at Sportsland Sugo on the 11th and 12th of September.
