Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage![a] is a Japanese mobile rhythm game developed by Colorful Palette, a studio of CyberAgent's Craft Egg, and published by Sega Corporation. The game is a spin-off from Sega's Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series, and features the Crypton Future Media's virtual singers Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, Kagamine Rin and Len, Meiko, and Kaito, alongside the cast of 20 original human characters that are split into five units, each with a unique theme. Set in the real world where Virtual Singers only exist as fiction, the characters come across another world called "Sekai", where various "true feelings" are projected. The game was released for Android and Apple devices on September 30, 2020. It was developed with Unity, and uses the Piapro Studio NT engine for voice synthesis.[1]

The game reached 5 million players as of July 2021. Sega released an English-language version of the game worldwide on December 7, 2021.[2][3] A Traditional Chinese version for Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, published by Ariel Network, was released on September 30, 2021.[4][5]

Setting[]

Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage is set in the real world, specifically in the city of Tokyo and Yokohama (both located in the Greater Tokyo Area and the Kantō region). In this game, Hatsune Miku and her friends are famous fictional singers existing in the real world as Virtual Singer. They sing songs from creators all over the world, but they also exist in "Sekai," (セカイ) a mysterious world different from the real world that is created from a person's "true feelings," featuring various visual appearances based on the person. There are as many Sekai as there are emotions, and its form changes depending on the person's emotions. Therefore, the focus of the game is on the original characters and their journeys to find their "true feelings" with the help of the Virtual Singers.[6]

In order to enter Sekai, one must find and play the song "Untitled." This silent song has no melody or lyrics and is created at the same time as the Sekai, and is mysteriously inserted on their devices. It can be anything, such as a game console, a smartphone, a smartwatch, a TV, a tablet, and a computer. When they play an "Untitled" song, they can travel between the real world and the Sekai. As one is able to discover their true feelings, the song will contain a playable melody and lyrics, and well as its title.

Plot[]

Each of the five groups and teams has their own story, focusing on their journey to convey their "true feelings":

  • Leo/need: Ichika Hoshino wishes to recover her memories with her childhood friends to make them come together again, as their friendship had become strained in the aftermath of various circumstances that occurred during middle school. She entered Sekai and met an emo-punk-styled Miku, who told her to convey her feelings to her friends and overcome their differences. Ichika and her friends eventually formed a band to restore their friendship and discover their shared memories through music.
  • MORE MORE JUMP!: Minori Hanasato has always dreamed of becoming an idol. Despite having failed auditions multiple times, she never gives up and hopes to pass an audition one day. She later entered Sekai and met an idol-like Miku, who encouraged her to make her dream come true. She also formed an idol group with three former idols, who retired from their career due to problems with their agencies.
  • Vivid BAD SQUAD: Kohane Azusawa has been deeply passionate about street music ever since she stumbled upon a singing session by An Shiraishi. Captivated by her singing, Kohane joined An to become a street musician as well, and later teamed up with fellow musicians Akito Shinonome and Touya Aoyagi. She entered Sekai and met a hip-hop-styled Miku, and together they began the quest to surpass a legend.
  • Wonderlands x Showtime: Tsukasa Tenma has been working hard to become a star and make his sister happy. He was hired to work part-time at the theme park Phoenix Wonderland, but the once-popular theater Wonder Stage he is assigned to has been deserted, unable to attract any visitors for years. There, he met Emu Ootori, who desires to restore the theater to its former glory. Joined by Nene Kusanagi and Rui Kamishiro, they formed a musical theater troupe as they entered Sekai and met a clown-like Miku, hoping to revive the theater's glory and make people happy.
  • Nightcord At 25:00: Kanade Yoisaki has been homeschooled and becomes reclusive because of a trauma she sustained as a result of an incident in the past. She formed an underground music circle, the four communicating over a voice-chat platform named 'Nightcord' and meeting at 25:00 (1AM). None of them knew each other's true names or identities, only knowing each other by online aliases and through voice chat. Kanade was pulled into Sekai by a gothic-styled Miku, who urged Kanade to help save Mafuyu Asahina, the group's lyricist who had mysteriously disappeared a week prior.

After the introduction movie, the player must choose one of the five orbs three times. If at least two orbs have the same color, the game will automatically reveal a group (e.g. if the player picked all blue orbs, it will reveal Leo/need). However, should the player choose different color orbs, it will choose the group associated with the last colour they choose.

There are three types of stories. First are group stories (or Main Stories), focusing on the backstory of one particular group, more of which become available as that group reaches higher ranks. Card Stories, on the other hand, revolve around one individual character with two parts. The first part becomes available upon acquiring the prerequisite items for the card, while the second part is unlocked by leveling up the card. There are also time-limited event stories, which are unlocked by playing the event. They are further divided into two types of stories: standalone stories focus on single groups, while mixed stories feature characters from different groups.

Characters[]

The characters are divided into five groups of four, each with a theme related to the groups' backstory, complete with Hatsune Miku in a thematic attire to sing alongside them, and another Virtual Singer if available. While only characters involved in the plot are mentioned, some songs in the game feature Virtual Singers from different Sekai.

Gameplay[]

Colorful Stage's gameplay consists of tapping notes as they slide toward the bottom to the rhythm of a chosen song; players have to tap, slide and flick to match new free-form rhythm notes, and special yellow notes that are worth more points towards your score. The overall gameplay is similar to Sega's Persona Dancing (Atlus), Chunithm and Bandai Namco's The Idolmaster series, the players are given 1,000 health points to clear a song, and one can adjust song speed and difficulty to their liking. In lieu of an energy system that is prevalent in most free-to-play games, Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage utilizes Live Boosts that increases rewards for completing a song, and players can continue playing even when they run out of boosts.

Players gain experience points (EXP) by clearing songs and listening to overworld conversations between characters. Such talks are fully voiced with 2.5D movement via Live2D technology, and their conversations are depicted in a visual novel-style presentation that is prepared for each group, including the Virtual Singers such as Miku. Further dialogues are added over time through events. EXP also improves a unit's rank, which unlocks additional chapters in group stories. Cards, which use a star ranking system to determine rarity (four stars being the rarest), are acquired via the gacha system, a luck-based mechanic in which players spend the in-game currency Crystals with the hope of winning their desired cards. Although Project Sekai is a free-to-play game, players can spend real-life money to acquire more crystals.

The game also features Virtual Lives, a mode where players can go to a virtual concert, similar to augmented reality or a Vocaloid live concert, where players can interact with one another. They can see other players all around the world and their favorite group performing via 3D animation.

Song list[]

The game initially launched with 28 songs, with around four new songs added per month to the game; as of December 2021, a total of 146 songs are included. The tracklist mainly consists of Vocaloid songs, with most songs having two versions: the original version (named "Virtual Singer version" in-game), and Sekai versions, having the song covered by the original characters, and sometimes joined by a Virtual Singer. Some songs also have a 3D MV or animated MV, with animated MVs either being newly created for the game (named "2D MV" in-game) or original. Songs without an MV are played with a static 2D background.

Development[]

The game was first announced on August 30, 2019, at Magical Mirai 2019.[9][10] The development is done by the Colorful Palette, a newly established subsidiary of Craft Egg (who is already known for another rhythm game: BanG Dream! Girls Band Party). Yuichiro Kondo, the first producer of Girls Band Party, also serves as the producer for this game. The project started in 2017 and was initially being developed entirely by Craft Egg, but Kondo thought it was necessary to avoid a situation where the project would clash with the development of Girls Band Party, so he created Colorful Palette with Craft Egg's core members within the company.[11][12][13]

The title is a rhythm game that features arrangements of songs made by various artists over the years using the Vocaloid software. The original story of the game is told in a visual novel and musical film-style. The direction of the game's design and concept is different from other Hatsune Miku-related games, such as Sega's Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA, where the player and Hatsune Miku face each other directly and communicate in the game. The project is said to be "a work that embodies the existence of Hatsune Miku" and explores the relationship between music and people. One of the reasons behind this format was the idea of "wanting the younger generation to listen to more Vocaloid music and other songs from the internet." Therefore, while knowing that there could be people opposed to the idea of addition of original characters, it was decided to develop such a setting.[14]

Release[]

The game's pre-registration was originally set to begin in late April, but was delayed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pre-registration later started on July 17, 2020, and Sega revealed the goals were set from 100,000 to 1,000,000 pre-registrations. In September 2020, the pre-registrations later reached 1,000,000 and players who pre registered received rewards.

The game's worldwide release was announced in August 2021 with a slightly different title, Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!. Nuverse released the game for the Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan markets on September 30, 2021. Nuverse is also managing the release in Mainland China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, with a release date to be announced. Sega released the game for all other regions (especially Western world including Oceania, Europe and North America) on December 7, 2021.[2][5]

Printed media[]

An anthology comic was released on November 25, 2021, by Ichijinsha's DNA Media Comics. The manga collection are drawn by 15 different artists with their own depiction of the game, hence its content may not count as canon.[31] An official visual fan book was released on November 26, 2021.[32]

Reception[]

As of July 26, 2021 the game has reached over 5 million users.[33] The game's ranked 9th on Twitter's 2021 Most Talked About Video Games.[34]

Controversy[]

When episode 6 of mini anime Petit Sekai "Leo/need Style" first premiered on YouTube, it was accused by American/Western viewers of "doing/promoting blackface" and of "cultural appropriation" due to a scene inspired by the typical Japanese gyaru fashion substyle of ganguro perceived as blackface. The next day, the episode was withdrawn "indefinitely" and a public apology in both English and Japanese was uploaded on the official Twitter account.[35][36][37] The removal of the episode is controversial and many fans of the game and the show, either Japanese and American, were disappointed with the company's decision, with some blaming SEGA for its "bending the knee" and "listening to a handful of outraged Twitter users who insist that everyone should respect foreign cultures while they themselves apply and impose their own Western prejudice, views, puritanism and imperialism against foreign media and subcultures".[38][39][40] The episode was reuploaded to YouTube on the March 15, 2022, with some modifications.

  3. ^ The title is a pun on the word "mobile phone" (携帯電話, keitai denwa). 恋話 means "talking about one's love interests; girls' talk; gossiping" though it's worth noting it's usually pronounced "koibana;" "renwa" was likely used instead to create a better pun.
