Hatsune Miku stars in Nomura collaboration, Letterman show
In take-stock-of-reality news, vocaloid virtual star Hatsune Miku starred in a double-whammy of surprising reveals this week. For starters, Square Enix designer Tetsuya Nomura provided his own Final Fantasy-esque take on the aqua-haired diva in a New York art exhibition devoted to her, which opens to the public starting today and runs through to October 19. You can check out more details on the exhibition's site, while Famitsu's report of the opening event has more images to peruse if you're intrigued by Nomura's latest design - not forgetting his recent, similarly inimitable take on Batman. As for the other surprising reveal, it's perhaps even more of an eye-opener. As you can see in the video below the break, Miss Miku strutted onto primetime US TV by performing her song "Sharing the World" on last night's Late Show with David Letterman. As the bemused host put it at the end of the surreal performance, "It's like being on Willie Nelson's bus."
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Deluxe is Japan's Remix
Hatsune Miku is all about music and love, and she wouldn't want anyone – or any country – to feel left out. Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Remix is due out on 3DS in western territories in 2015, but it's also heading to Japan as Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Deluxe, scheduled to launch in spring 2015. The new Project Mirai is a "complete" version of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2, which launched in Japan in 2013. Project Mirai Remix is the first time Hatsune Miku will appear on 3DS in the western world, following recent series launches on Vita and PS3 with the Project Diva games.

More Hatsune Miku bopping West with Project Mirai Remix
Sega is bringing Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2 to the West in an "enhanced" version called Project Mirai Remix. There's no word on what enhancements to expect, but there's loads of time to find out because the 3DS rhythm game won't arrive until 2015. Project Mirai Remix will be the first time the Vocaloid starlet graces 3DS in the West, having already bopped onto PlayStations with the Project Diva series. The most obvious difference between the Diva games and Mirai spinoffs is Miku herself, with the 3DS series presenting her in chibi form. Check out the original Project Mirai 2 in action below the break. The game is also the latest step in the virtual songstress' plans for world domination. Sega recently revealed her games alone have shipped 2.5 million units in Japan, while across the ocean she's just finished touring as the opening act for Lady Gaga. No, really, it's true.
