Hatsune Miku’s lyrics are being localized into English for her next game’s Western debut
Hatsune Miku’s lyrics are being localized into English for her next game’s Western debut Virtual popstar Hatsune Miku, born from a synthesizer software that warps sound into a humanoid voice, has earned her own series of rhythm video games by virtue of her idol status. The Vocaloid — the name for Miku and similar digital divas, taken from the name of the software supporting them — is a nationally-recognized icon in Japan and has even put on live hologram concerts. Miku’s songs are all in Japanese, and when her games are brought to Western shores they have remained that way — until now. For Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd — a rhythm game that launched in Japan this past March and will hit North America and Europe later this year for PlayStation 3 and Vita — publisher Sega will localize the lyrics, giving Miku’s English-speaking fans a deeper window of understanding into her world.
