The website miku-39.jp, the one teased in the description of “Birthday Song For Miku” by MitchieM, has been updated once again to show something new: A blank letter where you can send a message to Miku for her birthday. Got anything special on your mind that you want to say? Simply click the image above to write a letter, or click here.

The title pretty much explains it all. A part of the official opening video for the upcoming game has been revealed. The audio is pretty loud though, so lower your volume sliders before starting it.
As a quick reminder, the game is set to launch on August 30th. The PS Vita is also region free, so you can import a copy and play it on any PS Vita.

For those of you who have been following Vocaloid electronic music for at least the past couple years, you may be familiar with the artist names “RyuushiP”, “Aerial Flow”, or even “Wahiko”. All of these names belonged to a single producer who was popular for his amazing work with Miku trance music. What you may not know, however, is that this artist retired from composing music back in early 2010, with his last song being used in an album by Tripshots.
It was a sad day in Vocaloid history for me, since I absolutely love electronic Vocaloid music. With Miku herself also being an electronic type instrument, she fits in naturally with these kinds of genres.
Loving Vocalectro music like I do, I obviously upload all kinds of tracks to my youtube channel. On July 31st, I uploaded the Aerial Flow remix of “Electric Angel” to my channel as a tribute to him. Then, two days later, something unexpected happened. He came back.
Filled with excitement, I immediately left messages for him on his nicovideo, piapro, and even his youtube account. Needless to say, I got his attention pretty quickly. I offered to help promote his channel on youtube, and he granted me permission to do so. So I created this PV using his newest song, “Cold Leaf”.
Hopefully those of you who knew this producer are excited as I am to have him return to the Vocaloid community. For those of you who are unfamiliar, I definitely recommend looking into his work. “Cold Leaf” was just the beginning of his return, and he also has plans to release a remake of his classic song “MEMORY” for Miku’s 5th birthday, which is August 31st. So this gives you something to look forward to if you subscribe to his channel.
Where is his channel? Right here: http://www.youtube.com/wahikooooo
I just want to say “thank you”, and welcome Aerial Flow back to the community (and you guys should too!). I look forward to seeing what he comes out with in the future! Here’s his original video of Cold Leaf, directly from youtube. A shorter “Radio Edit” version can be found on nicovideo here.

There’s already a planned PS Vita and Project Diva F event for August 29th, a day before the game’s official launch. But Sony is also planning a special release of a limited edition Miku themed Walkman. The device will come in two colors, with 3,939 units available of each color. The price is set at 12,800 JPY per unit. There is also an option of a speaker, which sets the total price at 15,800 JPY for the set.
This means there will be 11,817 units total. 3,939 black, 3,939 green, and 3,939 green with the speaker set. Each unit will be specially engraved with a unique identification number, and each unit will also include a Miku themed strap.
The walkmans will be sold at the event venue in Tokyo, at the same place as the aforementioned Vita x PjD event (Yokohama Bay area). You can view the site with additional images and information here (it’s in Japanese).
