There’s a new Racing Miku statue figurine in production, and the Good Smile Company posted her on their blog this week.
Hatsune Miku has become an international icon. What began as a singing synthesizer turned into a character recognized around the world that stars in multiple forms of media. In the realm of games, people recognize her as a rhythm game star. But what else do people need to know about her?
Viva la Vita: "SEGA has announced that their rhythm video game series based on the popular vocaloid idol Hatsune Miku has topped 1.8 million shipments in Japan. The franchise which spans six releases over PSP, 3DS, PSVita, and PS3 originally began in 2009 and will continue onwards with this year's release of Hatsune Miku Project Mirai 2 for 3DS. SEGA specifically mentioned strong performance from Hatsune Miku Project Diva f/F for PSVita, and PS3 which have shipped a combined 390,000 units since launch."
I bought Project Diva f for Vita when I was in Japan last year, but the touch screen controls almost ruined the game. Oh, and I really can't get used to the vocaloid voices...
I only bought the game because of the heavy marketing there, and the fact that it was probably the only time in my life when I could say "I bought a Japanese game the day it was released!"
many games don't even ship that world wide! DmC would be one example, the game hasn't even sold 1 million yet. lol
Sega is looking to remake fan-favourite tracks from past Project Diva games, for the new version on the PS3 and Vita.
And to do that, they need your help, Hatsune Miku fans. Tell Sega which past Project Diva songs you want to see remade for Diva f (and F).
Just to be clear, a “remake” here refers to an old song getting a new PV and a brand new musical note (button-press) chart in the PS3 and Vita versions.
Some of tracks are already remade

Oh, and I would also like to see some Hiroyuki Oda's vocaloid tracks like this
