Release

 Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA was released in Japan on July 2nd 2009. The game is yet to be released overseas, but due to the Vocaloid software being a Japanese voice synth tool, popularity outside of Japan is little in comparison. 
 Those that ordered the special edition of the game received a petit nendoroid figurine of Hatsune Miku (Character).

Gameplay

 As with typical rhythm games, points are earned by hitting notes to the beat of the music. Notes in Project DIVA come in two halves:
 Static Notes: These will be the first to appear on the screen. They come in four different shapes, matching the PSP buttons. The notes also come with a ticker hand, starting at a 12 o’clock position and turning clockwise until again reaching a 12 o’clock position. It is at this point that the correct shape should be pressed.
 Moving Notes: These will fly from off-screen and land on their respective static note counterpart. They are timed so that they will overlap perfectly when the ticker on the static notes reaches a 12 o’clock position. Pressing the correct button completes the note and you are awarded points accordingly. 
 The more accurate you are, the more points you will receive. This ranges from 0 (for a miss) to 500 points. The combo metre will also increase your score. Missing a note or pressing the wrong button will reset your combo. 
 In the bottom left of the screen is a sphere with a music note. This acts as a life meter of sorts, rising and emptying depending on how well you play. The song will end should the sphere deplete.

Songs

 The game ships with 39 songs split by different colour tags. The following songs are listed by their tag colour and their Japanese, Rōmaji  and English names.   Songs that seemingly only have an English name are called the same for all three.

Collectables

 As a reward for completing songs, players are often given items to decorate Miku's room with. These include furniture, instruments and wallpapers. It is also possible to unlock new costumes (or modules) when certain conditions are met. While there are regular clothes included, changing costume can in some cases change your character to another Vocaloid. There are also special costumes from other Sega (Company) games, notably Valkyria Chronicles (Game) and Space Channel 5 (Game).

Downloadable Content

 On the Japanese Playstation Network, you can purchase a content pack that adds nine new songs, PV’s, a mini-game and more. The new songs are accessed through the song creation menu rather than the regular game, so you will not see them in the same list as the original 39 songs.

Sequels

 Hatsune Miku Project DIVA 2 is scheduled to be released in Japan on the 29th of July 2010. This will also be for the PSP console, and promises to add new features such as eight notes instead of four, new music and new game modes. An arcade version has also been announced.
