A software update for Hatsune Miku NT and Piapro Studio NT has been released today, finally bringing us the missing Whisper and Dark vocal libraries that were promised. The update also fixes some bugs, and adds some new functionality to help streamline the user experience. Check out the patch notes below!
Hatsune Miku NT v1.0.0.7 Update
Hatsune Miku NT Dark+ and Hatsune Miku Whisper+ libraries added.
There’s now an ability to correct the length of consonants according to the phrase and melody you’ve typed in.
Optimized articulation of phoneme transitions in some situations.

Piapro Studio NT v3.0.3.4 Update
Now supports the newly added Hatsune Miku NT Dark+ and Hatsune Miku Whisper+ libraries.
Fixed an issue where editing the pitch of consonants with some phonetic symbols was not possible.
Fixed an issue where the portamento parameters were not saved.
Fixed an issue in the plugin version where it freezes on playback after loading a ppsf file with a different tempo than the host.
CFM notes that improvements in processing speed are being worked on for a future update, notably where processing loads become heavier as the song becomes longer.
The Piapro Studio NT v3.0.3.4 update is installed at the same time as the Hatsune Miku NT v1.0.0.7 update, so there’s no need for a separate installer.
Hatsune Miku Tycoon is a mobile platform card game based on the Japanese card game Daifugo, but with some added some charm featuring Hatsune Miku and her friends.
The game supports single player and local multiplayer through bluetooth (Note there is no online play function). Players can enjoy 27 different types of character themed cards, send fun character stickers to each other to communicate, and earn points for gacha items like stickers and icons. Be sure to watch for what happens when 8 Flushes and Revolutions happen!
New Player Tip: If you’re curious about the rules of the game, there’s a rulebook available in the game’s settings menu.
The results of the Hatsune Miku Magical Mirai 2021 song contest on Piapro have been announced! One grand prize winner and five runner-up winners were selected. You can listen to the samples in the YouTube video above, or the full songs from the list below! You can also check out their other works from the provided VocaDB links, if available.
The grand prize winner will have their song featured in the upcoming Magical Mirai 2021 live concert event, while the runner-ups historically had their songs featured in the overhead music played in the concert hall before the start of each concert.
After over a year of careful analysis and various testing scenarios, the full video review of DJ-DAO’s DIVALLER controller by Zedamex for MikuFan is finally ready to be unleashed to the world!
MikuFan was presented the opportunity by GAMO2/DJ-DAO to review the DIVALLER, a custom 3rd party controller for the Hatsune Miku Project DIVA games on PS3, PS4, and Switch (it even works on PC). This controller is styled after the Hatsune Miku Project DIVA Arcade cabinet controls, and is built out of a sturdy (and hefty!) aluminum frame.
For this review, we received the DIVALLER, as well as a set of the optional SANWA switches to test the full functionality of the controller with all platforms. We then reached out to Zedamex to request a full professional review. He covers everything from the controller’s feel, operation, modification, repair-ability, and even its latency claims. The controller is also pitted against the official HORI controllers and Project DIVA Arcade cabinets to see how it compares against the competition.
At over 100 minutes, no details are left uncovered. We debunked some misconceptions, and point out some common user mistakes and how to avoid them to ensure the best possible gameplay experience on each console. We suggest watching the full video over on YouTube, and use the convenient timestamps in the video description to skip to sections of interest. Please be sure to give Zedamex some kudos and thanks for his hard work!
This review was not paid for or sponsored, and was created purely out of interest and passion for the controller and Project Diva games. If you’d like to buy one for yourself you can find it at the links below!
Some big updates regarding Hatsune Miku Magical Mirai 2021 were posted to the official site, which covers the new main visual artwork, theme song, even ticket info and more! Here’s a quick recap of the announcements from June 21st. *Please note that overseas tickets are not being made available due to the ongoing pandemic situation in Japan.*
Main Visual by left
The theme of Magical Mirai 2021 is “Fairy Tale Fantasy“, with the main visual art being designed and drawn by left. Their participation in this year’s event also marks their first collaboration with cosMo@Bousou-P in 10 years. The artwork has a very floral and mythical atmosphere. There’s some concept sketches with costume details for those wanting to draw their own fanart, or even design a cosplay!
Theme Song “Hatsune Creation Myth” by cosMo@Bousou-P
Well recognized in the Hatsune Miku fan community, cosMo@Bousou-P is likely a welcome addition by many to the list of Magical Mirai theme song composers. A 15 second teaser CM for the event has been uploaded, featuring a segment of the theme song “Hatsune Creation Myth” playing in the background. We’ll have to wait a while longer for the release of the full song!
