There isn’t a lot of time to speak about the details, as the first day’s event starts in just 3 hours. But here’s what you need to know.

Day 1 event link: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv101534493
Day 2 event link: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv101536025

The first day is on 8/25 JST, and day 2 is on 8/26 JST. Both events start at 18:30 (6:30 PM) Japan Standard Time. Here’s a clock for tracking Japan Standard Time.

Just like the last Voca Nico Night stream from last month, free users will be able to watch this as well, but will be kicked from the HD stream during high traffic. You can watch the standard definition stream without fear of being kicked from the stream. There should be a button or text below the player that says “低画質モード”. This is for switching to the lower quality stream.

If you don’t have a nicovideo account, you can simply register an account over at niconico.com. This account will also work on nicovideo!

The following artists will be performing for the following nights:

Day 1:
Jin
Ie no Ura de Manbou ga ShinderuP
BabelP
Nanou
koma’n
Toku
Kei

Day 2:
Marasy
Yairi
Oster Project
doriko
buzzG
devilishP
Suzumu

The Family Mart advertisement campaign is already taking the internet by storm. It has inspired a fairly large amount of fan illustrations and videos. However, this fanmade parody video earns extra points for doing something out of the ordinary.

The video was created as a 7-Eleven parody, and is both humorous and creepy at the same time. Enjoy the official youtube print below.

Nicovideo version available here.

MikuFan has been around for well over 4 years now, and also long before I was hired to be a writer. But despite that, no sort of social networking was set up to allow visitors to keep up with updates in a more convenient fashion. I’ve decided to fix that starting today!

You’ll find buttons for our Facebook and Twitter feed on the menu to the right. This should be far more convenient for those of you who find it hard to remember to keep checking back on the site. It should also make it much easier for you to get into contact with me.

I’ll be updating the feeds of both pages with each new blog article, but I’ll also be sharing occasional videos, images, and stories. Enjoy!

Pretty much as the title states, the full length Project Diva f PV for Weekender Girl has been uploaded to the TOYSFACTORYJP YouTube channel. The song itself was a collaboration between 8#Prince and kz(livetune), and was made specifically for Project Diva f and Miku’s upcoming birthday.

As a quick reminder, the game is set to launch on August 30th. The album for this song is still available for purchase on Amazon, and includes both a CD and DVD, as well as a cute keychan as a bonus. You can find it here.

The magic starts here -> http://miku-39.jp/

The site has been updated to allow you to play a special video that lets you connect by sharing your location, twitter account, or by connecting with your mobile device. Connecting with all three would be recommended, as that’s when all the features will be available (it’s an interactive video!). Interesting things will appear based on how you choose to connect, and I’m unsure what the differences are between them (I’m currently lacking a high end mobile device).

If you remember from a short while ago, you were able to send a birthday message to Miku using a blank letter on the site. You’ll be seeing a lot of those messages pop up in this video.

Go check out the website, connect using one or more of the options, and enjoy! If you connect using a PC, using the most up to date versions of Firefox or Chrome is recommended, as it’s coded in HTML5.
