Sega of America announced a coming US release of its popular PS3 Japanese rhythm game, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F. Hatsune Miku is Japan’s most popular vocaloid – a digital singer – and has a sizable following in the West, and is the star of one of Sega’s most popular franchises in Japan.
“In short, it was your voices, as fans, that helped make this happen,” said Aaron Webber, Sega of America’s brand manager, on Sony’s official PlayStation blog. Sega’s decision to release Project Diva in the West was made after Sega asked Hatsune Miku fans to show their support on Facebook, receiving 25,000 likes and 15,000 shares in a three-day span.
