If you happen to be visiting the largest Anime and Japanese pop culture convention in North America this July, you may be interested to hear that SEGA will have a booth demoing the English version of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd at Anime Expo, as well as another “surprise”.

There is no word yet on if they also plan to host a panel. But if they do, be sure to remember these words: “Miku Maji Tenshi”. Lastly, I will have announcements soon regarding MikuFan’s visit to Anime Expo, so please stay tuned!

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd is scheduled for release in North America and Europe this fall.

On the Japan side, SEGA has released a new Hatsune Miku prize plushie, which was created by Nesoberi and based on artwork by Puchi de Biru. There are two versions with different expressions, “happy” or “sleeping”. The size is 17cm, from head to toe.

These plushies are distributed in SEGA UFO prize catcher machines, which cost 100 yen per play. You can try winning one yourself if you run across one of these machines, or have a friend in Japan attempt to win one for you. If you don’t trust your luck, they can usually be found on Amazon Japan.

The listings are placeholders and contain incorrect information that will change as the launch comes closer. For example, the pricing and launch dates differ from what SEGA of America has previously announced.

All very exciting indeed, but the Japanese version officially launches tomorrow on March 27th, so let’s take a look at what we can expect. The game has been improved quite a bit in the visual graphics department, indicating that SEGA developed the game this time as a PS3-first title, then made a port to VITA. These improvements were made apparent with the game PV for DECORATOR.

What’s new in this game?

■ PS3 and Vita releases will contain the same songs. No paid DLC needed!
■ 20 all new songs, 20 remade classics from previous titles. 40 songs total!
■ 160 modules (outfits) total. 40 new, 40 classics, and 80 from Project Diva F.
■ Previous game save data can be imported to unlock already-owned items.
■ Two new ☆ icons for scratch notes: Double scratch (use both fingers) and link scratch.
■ Redesigned HUD with 20 different customization patterns.
■ Largely improved PV editor functions (must be downloaded for Vita version, free).

If you can’t wait for the Western release, you can pick up a Japanese copy due to no region restrictions on the PS3 and Vita. But be sure to support the upcoming Western release if possible! Here’s a few preorder sources:

With the launch date of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd drawing closer, the Tokyo Joypolis center and SEGA are gearing up to throw another celebratory event starting February 27th, and ending April 6th. The event is called “Daiba de Diva”, and various activities will be available for guests throughout each day of the event.


 
First up on the list is the stage event on Floor 1, which will play an event-exclusive promotional video for KZ‘s DECORATOR, the theme song for Project Diva F 2nd. The video is scheduled to play three times every day at 12:00, 15:00, and 18:00. The admission fee for viewing is 800 Yen for adults, and 300 yen for young teenagers.


 
Up next is the attractions. On the 1st floor is a popular attraction called the “Tokyo Half-pipe”, a ride that requires two people and costs 800 Yen per run (video here). On the 3rd floor is a photo booth where you can pay 500 Yen to take a single group photo with a decorative Project Diva styled border. Also on same floor is a Divination (fortune telling) sheet with Project Diva styling. Each sheet is 600 Yen.


 
There is also some goods available, such as a can (with a currently unknown treat) for 550 Yen. It’s also been very cold in Tokyo lately, so if you’re feeling a little under the weather, they have Diva-themed cough drops for 480 Yen. Lastly, there’s some event-exclusive clear files for 390 Yen per pack. These items are available from the 1st floor JP Store.


 
Feeling a little thirsty? The D-Lounge on the 2nd floor is offering character-themed drinks for 390 Yen each, and also comes with a useable sticker.


 
The Frame Cafe on floor 3 will be serving up some more character-inspired dishes. These include curry and drink for 1300 Yen, a green onion-topped hot dog and drink for 950 Yen, a Parfait for 900 Yen, and a latte with art reflecting the image of Miku (image not shown) for 700 Yen.


 
You’ll find plenty of carnival-style games available on the second floor, while the first floor will have a number of UFO Catcher machines with various Hatsune Miku-themed prizes. Carnival games are 200 Yen per play, while UFO Catchers are 100 Yen per play.


The multi-stage room on floor 3 will have multiple booths set up with PlayStation Vitas running Project Diva F 2nd, where you can freely try out the game before its March 27th launch date. It looks like they may have the life-sized Hatsune Miku statue on display again as well!

A few last extras are mentioned, such as a chance of seeing Mikudayo, scenic photo shooting from atop of the hotel, and a digital mirror much like the one seen at the Wing Shop at Haneda Airport.
