A recent image leak from various online retailers has revealed a “Deep Sea Girl” ver. Hatsune Miku plushie will be released in the 3rd week of September 2018, the same month as the song’s 8th anniversary!
The plushie measures 27cm tall, and is yet another entry in SEGA’s “Project Diva Future Tone” series of jumbo sized plushies. Try your hands at getting one in arcades later this year, or preorder her online when you see her available!

It’s been a while since we heard news regarding Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone for PS4, but SEGA hasn’t forgotten about the game! They recently announced that 10 songs will be updated to add Extra Extreme difficulties in a free patch that will be distributed on April 19th to Project Diva Future Tone, as well as Project Diva Future Tone DX. Here’s the songs getting the update!
Of course, if you purchased both packs in Future Tone, or picked up the DX version of the game, all of the above songs will be updated automatically when you launch the game while connected to the PlayStation Network. The update also notes some stability and bug fixes.
This update announcement currently applies to the Japanese version of the game, and news regarding the update for Western releases is still pending. We’ll keep you posted!

Hatsune Miku will once again be performing a collaboration special live with Kodo, Japan’s internationally famous taiko drumming group, as one of the “This is NIPPON Premium Theater” series showing fascinating Japanese arts and culture as part of the Tokyo 2020 official program. It’s been a little over a year since Miku and Kodo first performed together in March 2017.
The live will be held at NHK Hall in Shibuya, Tokyo on June 2nd~3rd, with ticket details to be released on March 28th. A short 15-second trailer is available below in the tweet from the officials today. Stay tuned!

Both TAITO and SEGA had some announcements to make regarding upcoming Hatsune Miku prize figure release events. The first on the list is the 4th and final Hatsune Miku 10th anniversary celebration prize figure in the lineup by TAITO, based on artwork by Apapico. All we have for now is the gorgeous artwork illustrated above to give an idea how it looks, but we should have a better look in a few months!
This figure will be part of a Family Mart Happy Kuji (lottery) event starting April 2018. More details to come later! Official page: http://kuji-honpo.jp/Product/0000000996/
It’s been an amazing wild ride over the past 10 years, with Hatsune Miku growing and reaching out to the world in ways longtime fans like myself would have never dreamed possible.

It will be available for download on Dec. 14 for $7.99 (with proportional European pricing) on the PSN, so get ready to party it up for Miku’s 10th!
