While succeeding the franchise\u2019s original concept of \u201cplay to sing\u201d, this NEXT HATSUNE MIKU Project DIVA newly adopts the \u201cscratch\u201d feature, allowing users to rub the multi touch screen to beat out rhythms intuitively according to the Hatsune Miku\u2019s medley songs. Furthermore, the characters (modules) are totally remodeled to match the PS Vita\u2019s beautiful display, which enables users to fully enjoy their enhanced cuteness and expressive faces along with their brand-new costumes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The PS Vita system included in\u201cPS Vita Hatsune Miku Limited Edition\u201d, comes with a special design, printing Hatsune Miku on its rear touch pad. Users can immerse into the sense of embracing her in their own palms while playing with their hands on the rear touch pad. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
