Yes, it was a couple of days ago. But fret not, we have photos! >_>
To recap, SEGA hosted a VOCALOID concert event (called 39’s Giving Day) on the 9th of March this year (yesterday, if we didn’t already hammer that fact into your heads).
Actually, a VOCALOID concert event would be slightly inaccurate, since SEGA decided to split it into two sub-concerts labelled “Good afternoon, I’m Hatsune Miku” (～こんにちは、初音ミクです。～) and “Good evening, I’m Hatsune Miku” (～こんばんは、初音ミクです。～) respectively. They also start at 1.30 PM and 7.30 PM respectively.
For the sake of sanity though, we’re just going to cover the entire thing as a single concert.
You’d have to pay 4390 JPY to purchase a ticket, and earn yourself a spot in the Zepp Tokyo music hall. The ticket is also a valid Project DIVA Arcade IC card, so you’ll have bragging rights whenever you brandish it at your local arcade. If your local arcade has the game, that is.
There was also a live stream to the concert. There were 2 ways you could access this stream: via Nico Nico Douga (though it’s a pay-to-view stream), or via a giant screen in Tokyo Joypolis. Admission to watch that screen is free, though you’ll still have to pay the 500 JPY entrance fee like everyone else.
As expected, the concert featured a giant holographic screen, which is a step up from the three smaller screens used in last year’s Miku FES. Apart from being an improvement, the giant screen also allows them to showcase more than one character on-screen!
Speaking of which, Luka, Rin and Len also made their live debut (as 3D models) in the event, too! ( *A*)
Also, Miku changes into different costumes throughout the concert, too. Very cool. Here’s a video of all her costumes in action (occurring during the first medley): Sorry, video removed. >_<
There were guest stars who attended the event, too. We have Noto Arisa (a member of Ongaku Gatas) dancing along with Yui Kaori, which in itself is a pair group consisting of Yui Ogura (who was also involved in Project DIVA) and Kaori Ishihara.
We also have DANCEROID, consisting of Minka Ri, Ikura and Kozue Aikawa. I’ve never actually seen them before (much less blog about them >_>) but from the looks of it, they’re a dance group which dances to VOCALOID music. Maybe we’ll give them a look-over in another post.
Here’s the entire song listing for the event; I’ve listed each song, as well as the performers. If the performers are any of the VOCALOIDs, it’s a holographic projection; otherwise, they are real people.
Songs in bold are part of a medley, so a group of adjacent songs in bold means that all of them were part of a medley.

The last two songs happen to be encore performances, by the way. I’ve linked all of the titles, so if you haven’t heard of most of them *cough*likeme*cough*, now’s a good time.
Alternatively, if you have a Nico Nico Douga account, you can try this 158-minute compilation of all the songs. Unfortunately, there isn’t any video coverage of the event (that isn’t deleted) yet. =( UPDATE: See bottom.
Also, SEGA held another “39 Secrets of Project DIVA” event during the concert (though I’m not exactly sure whether it’s before or after). The obvious stuff (like the inclusion of Rin, Len and Luka) are revealed, but then this piece of info comes along.
You can play your copy of Project DIVA (on the PSP) on your PS3. By that, they don’t mean that your display will be expanded to fit the screen in all of its pixellated glory. Instead, a downloadable add-on in the PS3 will render the game in an engine on par with Project DIVA Arcade.
WHAT THE ****, how did they come up with this? It’s awesome…well, at least for those who own both a PSP and a PS3. The add-on will be called “Dreamy Theater”, and its date of release and price have yet to be announced.
Also, the list of songs for the upcoming Project DIVA DLC have been released:
- 「1/6 -d2 mix-」by ぼーかりおどP
- 「ニ息歩行」by DECO＊27
- 「celluloid」by baker remix：Aether_Eru
- 「裏表ラバーズ」by wowaka（現実逃避P）
- 「Alice-DIVA mix」by 古川本舗
- 「歌に形はないけれど」by doriko
- 「SPiCa」by とく
- 「パズル」by クワガタP
- 「＊ハロー、プラネット。」by sasakure.UK
You can also check out the merchandise sold at the event itself here. The ones by GSC aren’t all that special, but I am digging that jacket. But holy smokes, it costs 12K JPY. ( *A*)
EDIT: All previously embedded videos have been deleted off due to “a copyright claim”, but if you like, you can head over to moetron for a full concert video download link.
Also, here’s an MP3 recording of the concert, courtesy of pKjd (again). Not that you’d actually need with the concert video. >_>

I so badly wish I was at that concert. D:
Just went through the whole compilation over at Nico @_@ Thanks for the whole list too; it must have been quite a bit of effort to do!
I may be living under rocks, but it’s my first time seeing holographics models like this. It’s pretty crazy I must say o_o
.-= Q´s last blog ..Furikake =-.
Awesome post dude.

.-= Tragic comedy´s last blog ..Valentines + Lunar new year greetings （Tsundere flavour) =-.
@ Raiga, Q, Ciel & Tragic:
Yeah, I want to be there too. Feels more worth it than the Miku mini-concert in Anisong last year imo.
@ Leymore & menroko:
A link to moetron’s post is at the bottom of this one. He uploaded the entire video (less than 900MB) to MegaUpload.
omg *-*…thanks a lot *dowloading*
I watching the video, and the rendering if Miku, Luka, Len, and Rin are amazing! Anyone know what they did to get them to move around so fluidly?
That would be motion capture.
That or they have some extremely patient and awesome people editing the scenes.
.-= Uzza´s last blog ..Thief in training =-.
It’s definitely motion capture. Who knows, maybe Ogura Yui was involved again. =P

If you can read downthrough the comments and see mine can you tell me know how you got this blog theme at? I would like to use it for my website.
