(originally released in Japan as Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku) is a rhythm game developed by Colorful Palette (a subsidiary of CyberAgent) in cooperation with, and published by, Sega. The game features the 6 Virtual Singers of Crypton Future Media – Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, Kagamine Rin and Len, Meiko, and Kaito – alongside the cast of twenty original human characters that are split into five themed units. Set in the real world where Virtual Singers only exist as fiction, the characters come across another dimension called "SEKAI", which is created by the members' "true feelings". The game was released for Android and iOS devices on September 30, 2020, in Japan. A Taiwanese server, published by Nuverse, was released on September 30, 2021. Sega released an English server of the game worldwide on December 7, 2021, with expansion to 5 countries in Southeast Asia on September 25, 2023. A Korean server was released on May 20, 2022, in South Korea, published by Nuverse. A Simplified Chinese server was released on March 27, 2025, in mainland China. ## Gameplay Hatsune Miku: 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 the score. The overall gameplay is similar to Sega's Chunithm and Bandai Namco's The Idolmaster-themed rhythm games, the players are given 1,000 health points to clear a song with the ability to heal through character skills, though it cannot go above 2000 health points at a time. Players can choose between five difficulty levels for each song,consisting of Easy, Normal, Hard, Expert, and Master, with a sixth APPEND difficulty being added for some songs.This APPEND difficulty involves using more than 2 fingers. The scroll speed, which affects the spacing of on-screen notes and the rate at which they approach, may be adjusted freely. Instead of an energy system that is prevalent in most free-to-play games, this game utilizes Bonus Energy that increase 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 conversations 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 Virtual Singers, such as Hatsune Miku. Further conversations are added over time through events, which also feature an After Show part at the end of each event. Cards, which use a star ranking system to determine rarity, with 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 this is a free-to-play game, players can spend real-life currency to acquire in-game currency. The game also features Virtual Shows, which is a mode where players can go to a virtual concert, similar to augmented reality or a Vocaloid-themed live concert, where players can interact with one another. They can see other players all around the world, using various items that can be given to characters, which are usable via currency, and their favorite group performing via 3D animation. These can be viewable in real-time, like the event's After Shows, birthday/anniversary shows and seasonal shows for example, with Welcome Shows, formerly known as Release Commemoration Shows, which are available for the first couple weeks after starting the game, or via archives, which require currency, except for the event's After Shows, which are viewable after finishing an event's main story. Furthermore, Connect Shows, which are mainly held in the Japanese server, are large scale versions of Virtual Shows, which require paid currency, featured full versions of various songs and real-time interactions with characters during the show, which are excluded in archival versions, and the Chinese version. A life simulation-based mode, MYSEKAI, was added in 2025 in Japan and Asia and 2026 worldwide. Unlike the main game, stamina is used by gathering, while Bonus Energy allows use of boosted stamina, which boosts gathering speed. In 2026, first on Japanese servers, players can create their own charts, which require creators to achieve a Full Combo or All Perfect to post and share their created chart. The game initially launched with 28 songs, with around four new songs added per month to the game, with over 700 songs currently included. The tracklist mainly consists of Vocaloid songs or those from Vocaloid producers, with most songs having two versions: the original version (or new versions specifically made for the game; named "Virtual Singer version" in-game), and Sekai versions, having the song covered by the original characters, and most of the time joined by a virtual singer. Some songs also have a 3D-animated (named "3DMV" in-game) and/or 2D-animated music video (MV), with animated MVs either being newly created for the game (named "2DMV" in-game) or original MVs (named "Original MV" in-game). Songs without an official MV are played with a static 2D background, commonly known as "Lite" in-game. ## Setting Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! is set in the real world, specifically in Shibuya, Tokyo. In this game, Hatsune Miku and her friends are famous fictional singers existing in the real world as Virtual Singers. 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 their 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. To enter SEKAI, one user must find and play the song "Untitled", a silent song with no melody or lyrics that was created at the same time as every SEKAI and mysteriously inserted on their devices and can be played on anything. Upon playing an "Untitled" song, the person will travel between the real world and their SEKAI. When one user manages to discover their true feelings, the song will then have a playable melody, lyrics, and title. ## Story Each of the five groups and members 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—Saki Tenma, Shiho Hinomori, and Honami Mochizuki—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 the School Sekai and met a punk-rock-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 dreamed of becoming an idol ever since she saw Haruka Kiritani when she was very young. Despite having failed auditions multiple times, she never gives up and hopes to pass an audition one day to achieve her dream. One day, on the school rooftop, she met Haruka when the latter was practicing her dance moves, only to find out Haruka had retired from her idol career. The two entered the Stage Sekai along with Airi Momoi and Shizuku Hinomori, where they met an idol-like Miku, who encouraged Minori to make her dream come true. 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 herself and later teamed up with former rivals Akito Shinonome and Toya Aoyagi, who had previously formed a group called the "Bad Dogs". They entered the Street Sekai and met a hip-hop-styled Miku, and together they began the quest to surpass a legend. Wonderlands x Showtime: Tsukasa Tenma has always wanted to make his sickly sister, Saki, happy, but as time passed, he couldn't remember why he wanted to be a star in the first place. He was hired to work part-time at the theme park Phoenix Wonderland, but the once-popular Wonder Stage theater he is assigned to has been deserted, unable to attract any visitors for years. There, he met Emu Otori, who desires to restore the theater to its former glory, considering it her grandfather's legacy. Joined by Nene Kusanagi and Rui Kamishiro, they formed a musical theater troupe as they entered the Wonderland Sekai and met a clown-like Miku, hoping to revive the theater's glory and make people happy. Nightcord at 25:00: Kanade "K" Yoisaki has been homeschooled and has become reclusive due to a trauma she sustained from an incident that happened in the past. She formed an underground music circle with her three online acquaintances—Mafuyu "Yuki" Asahina, Ena "Enanan" Shinonome, and Mizuki "Amia" Akiyama. They communicated via a voice-chat platform named "Nightcord", meeting every late night at 25:00 (1 AM). 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 the Empty Sekai by a mysterious-looking Miku, who urged her to help save Mafuyu, the group's lyricist, who had mysteriously disappeared a week prior. ## Characters The characters are divided into five groups of four, each with a theme related to the group's backstory, complete with Hatsune Miku in a thematic design to sing alongside them, in addition to one or two other Virtual Singers (except for Nightcord at 25:00, who started with only Miku). As the game's story progresses, new versions of each virtual singer appear in the different Sekai. ## Virtual Singers The Virtual Singers are characters from Crypton Future Media's singing synthesizer software line. They exist in the real world as fictional software and popular characters, but in "Sekai", they possess their own personalities and appearances tailored to each group's feelings. The six Virtual Singers featured in the game are Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO, and KAITO. ## Leo/need An all-girl pop-rock band formed by a group of childhood friends who reunited in high school as they vowed to get over their differences.
