Maybe it's the series OT that no one asked for since it seems to be using screenshots from every game.

Higher difficulties are a lot more enjoyable than the normal mode in the demo
I've been kind of meh about this entire series, it always felt like it was a second rate series of music-rhythm games... but the good ones don't come out on console at all. I say that even after having damaged a friend's PSP after mashing too hard during one of the most difficult songs while playing Project Diva 2nd.
I'm still buying the US version because the fact that the game is coming out in the US at all is a little absurd, and I'll probably enjoy it enough, regardless.

I put way too many hours into this game.
I highly encourage folks to give this a shot, even if they're not huge on Hatsune Miku. It's an extremely solid rhythm game that'll def scratch that itch.
As others have said, Hatsune Miku and the other Vocaloid software are just tools for artists to express themselves with. Give it a shot.

I had no idea what Hatsune Miku was (still don't, I suppose), but I gave the demo a shot and had a blast. Got stoned and basked in the absurdity. Bravo to whomever thought a demo would be a good idea. Never would of considered this game otherwise and now it's pre-ordered. Hyped!
I'd love to convince some non-believers that this isn't some creepy loli game, but a very fun and silly oddity that we should probably be thankful for.

I'm very tempted to preorder, since I love the Project Diva series, but I always found them more difficult to play on a large screen. With the notes flying in from every direction, it's harder to keep track of them compared to the portable titles. I need Sweet Devil and Tokyo Teddie Bear in my life, but I'm probably going to let it stew for a couple more days before I decide.

I was gonna say something similar earlier. :x

Nope, I used screens wherever I could find them. Okay, the testimonial section is kind of.
Hmm, that's fair.
Back on that fateful day, when I got my Vita, I feel to the all too familiar scourge that plights many an adopter. Yes, lack of software! In my search, I started to delve into genres that I typically wouldn't look, but then came the issue of another language barrier. All this preamble is just to say that had I been afforded other options, I probably would have never given Project Diva a chance. Which truth be told, would have been a shame, because it quietly stands as one of the best games on the system.
I too was similarly skeptical, given the presentation, but it's a really well-made and charming package. The gameplay is nothing to sniff at, and even if you only know Hatsune Miku by name (like me), it shouldn't be something to deter you. In fact, it'll probably endear you, seeing the collective endeavor that it actually is.
I heartily recommend it.

Yeah I was just thinking that. I've always used the dpad for the double arrows.

Yeah, it's wrong. The only thing the analog sticks are used for are star notes. There is no customizibility in controls.
The best way to describe it is an Ouendan (or elite beat agents) setup with a DDR style rating system. Though that's probably really confusing to imagine
Yeah, wrong. It's also not X when it's a left facing arrow, it's square. And it's pink, not red.

There's a demo on PSN, caj! But it's a rhythm game. Hit the buttons that appear on screen in time with the music while enjoying the pretty PVs playing in the background.

My bad, fixed.
So it is like Space channel 5?
So glad I didn't end up importing this. Was so close to pulling the trigger, then English versions were announced.
I don't really have much attachment to vocaloid songs. Only really like a few Miku songs here and there by Supercell, haven't bothered listening to others or other voices. Still, a great rhythm game is what I'm most excited about.

Good to know, thanks!
That's kind of how I feel on both counts... just seemed like a second-rate Japanese rhythm game, especially compared to stuff like Rhythm Heaven, Ouendan, DDR, IIDX, etc. That said, I want to support SEGA releasing a game like this in the US at all... it would just be easier to justify if I enjoyed it a little more. Gonna give it another shot, though!

You're in for a real treat, the music selection is legit, has something for everyone (and I would argue only two or three of them I don't like). Extreme difficulty is very entertaining and satisfying (and I'm gonna brag, the mini controller makes this game 100% more fun to play).
Say what you will about the pointlessness of a lot of fluff in some OT's , but this is what happens when someone creates one for a game they have no interest in. It's really shoddy, screenshots are largely not even from this game, and the information is just plain wrong.
Possibly the worst OT I have seen.

Oh jeezus. I didn't actually look at the OT.
Why are the screenshots from a bunch of different games? WTF?

My body is ready for some Miku Pizza. And the game too, I guess.
This image is too awesome. I had to post it on the Gaf FB page.
In honour of the twin-tails... c'mon, GAF - support Miku when she hits Western shores!

Waggle your FACE.
This is the OT for the Dominos pizza app right
It doesn't come with free pizza =(
You have doomed us all!
Also, in-response to your custom tag, you need to replace your other 98 problems with 98 more waifu's.
Get to work!
I want it changed to "Got 99 problems and they're all waifus" but the mod that suggested me to have this tag in the first place knows that would make me happy, so no go >_>
Does it come with waifus?
So in most rhythm games, I ignored the stuff in the background, and I probably will here as well.
More games should do stuff like Elite Beat Agents, where the story's (or whatever animations in this case) told between the gameplay.
Unless it's stuff like HarmoKnight, of course.

Hhhhnnnnnngh
also the OP really is horribly shitty shit. Sorry but an antelope with nervegear could make a more heartfelt OP. But its all good because this game is adorable and the hnngh quotient should be high. Cute is life.
