Setting
Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage is set in the real world, specifically in the city of Tokyo and Yokohama (both located in the Greater Tokyo Area and the Kantō region). In this game, Hatsune Miku and her friends are famous fictional singers existing in the real world as Virtual Singer. 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 its 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.[7]
In order to enter Sekai, one must find and play the song "Untitled." This silent song has no melody or lyrics and is created at the same time as the Sekai, and is mysteriously inserted on their devices. It can be anything, such as a game console, a smartphone, a smartwatch, a TV, a tablet, and a computer. When they play an "Untitled" song, they can travel between the real world and the Sekai. As one is able to discover their true feelings, the song will contain a playable melody and lyrics, and well as its title.
Plot
Each of the five groups and teams 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 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 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 always dreamed of becoming an idol. Despite having failed auditions multiple times, she never gives up and hopes to pass an audition one day. She later entered Sekai and met an idol-like Miku, who encouraged her to make her dream come true. She then formed an idol group with three former idols, who retired from their career due to problems with their agencies.
- 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 as well, and later teamed up with fellow musicians Akito Shinonome and Toya Aoyagi. She entered Sekai and met a hip-hop-styled Miku, and together they began the quest to surpass a legend.
- Wonderlands x Showtime: Tsukasa Tenma has been working hard to become a star and make his sister happy. He was hired to work part-time at the theme park Phoenix Wonderland, but the once-popular theater Wonder Stage 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. Joined by Nene Kusanagi and Rui Kamishiro, they formed a musical theater troupe as they entered Sekai and met a clown-like Miku, hoping to revive the theater's glory and make people happy.
- Nightcord at 25:00: Kanade Yoisaki has been homeschooled and becomes reclusive because of a trauma she sustained as a result of an incident in the past. She formed an underground music circle with her three online acquaintances, communicating over a voice-chat platform named "Nightcord" and meeting at 25:00 (1AM). 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 Sekai by a gothic-styled Miku, who urged her to help save Mafuyu Asahina, the group's lyricist who had mysteriously disappeared a week prior.
After the introduction movie, the player must choose one of the five orbs three times. If at least two orbs have the same color, the game will automatically reveal a group (e.g. if the player picked all blue orbs, it will reveal Leo/need). However, should the player choose different color orbs, it will choose the group associated with the last color they choose.
There are three types of stories. First are group stories (or Main Stories), focusing on the backstory of one particular group, more of which become available as that group reaches higher ranks. Card Stories, on the other hand, revolve around one individual character with two parts. The first part becomes available upon acquiring the prerequisite items for the card, while the second part is unlocked by leveling up the card. There are also time-limited event stories, which are unlocked by playing the event. They are further divided into two types of stories: standalone stories focus on single groups, while mixed stories feature characters from different groups. Event stories are re-added to the game permanently 2 days after the event ended.
Characters
The characters are divided into five groups of four, each with a theme related to the groups' backstory, complete with Hatsune Miku in a thematic design to sing alongside them, and one other Virtual Singer (with the exception of Vivid BAD SQUAD, who have three, and Nightcord at 25:00, who only have Miku). As the game's story progresses, new versions of each Virtual Singer appear in the different Sekai. Currently, in the Japanese version of the game, each Sekai has a version of every Virtual Singer except KAITO, who is only yet to appear with Nightcord at 25:00.

Gameplay
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 your score. The overall gameplay is similar to Sega's Persona Dancing (Atlus), Chunithm and Bandai Namco's The Idolmaster series, the players are given 1,000 health points to clear a song, and one can adjust song speed and difficulty to their liking. In lieu of an energy system that is prevalent in most free-to-play games, Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage utilizes Live Boosts that increases 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 talks 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 the Virtual Singers such as Miku. Further dialogues are added over time through events. EXP also improves a unit's rank, which unlocks additional chapters in group stories. Cards, which use a star ranking system to determine rarity (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 Project Sekai is a free-to-play game, players can spend real-life money to acquire more crystals.
The game also features Virtual Lives, a mode where players can go to a virtual concert, similar to augmented reality or a Vocaloid live concert, where players can interact with one another. They can see other players all around the world and their favorite group performing via 3D animation.

Development
The game was first announced on August 30, 2019, at Magical Mirai 2019.[10][11] The development is done by the Colorful Palette, a newly established subsidiary of Craft Egg (who is already known for another rhythm game: BanG Dream! Girls Band Party). Yuichiro Kondo, the first producer of Girls Band Party, also serves as the producer for this game. The project started in 2017 and was initially being developed entirely by Craft Egg, but Kondo thought it was necessary to avoid a situation where the project would clash with the development of Girls Band Party, so he created Colorful Palette with Craft Egg's core members within the company.[12][13][14]
The title is a rhythm game that features arrangements of songs made by various artists over the years using the Vocaloid software. The original story of the game is told in a visual novel and musical film-style. The direction of the game's design and concept is different from other Hatsune Miku-related games, such as Sega's Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA, where the player and Hatsune Miku face each other directly and communicate in the game. The project is said to be "a work that embodies the existence of Hatsune Miku" and explores the relationship between music and people. One of the reasons behind this format was the idea of "wanting the younger generation to listen to more Vocaloid music and other songs from the internet." Therefore, while knowing that there could be people opposed to the idea of addition of original characters, it was decided to develop such a setting.[15] The series's concept was also borrowed from Persona 5. Albeit in lighthearted.
Release
The game's pre-registration was originally set to begin in late April, but was delayed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pre-registration later started on July 17, 2020, and Sega revealed the goals were set from 100,000 to 1,000,000 pre-registrations. In September 2020, the pre-registrations later reached 1,000,000 and players who pre registered received rewards.
The game's worldwide release was announced in August 2021 with a slightly different title, Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!. Nuverse released the game for the Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan markets on September 30, 2021. Nuverse is also managing the release in Mainland China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, with a release date to be announced. Sega released the game for all other regions (especially Western world including Oceania, Europe and North America) on December 7, 2021.[2][5]
Music
Singles

Printed media
An anthology comic was released on November 25, 2021, by Ichijinsha's DNA Media Comics. The manga collection are drawn by 15 different artists with their own depiction of the game, hence its content may not count as canon.[36] An official visual fan book was released on November 26, 2021.[37]
Reception
As of July 26, 2021[update], Project SEKAI has reached over 5 million users and received positive reviews.[38] The game was ranked 9th on Twitter's Most Talked About Video Games list in 2021.[39]
Controversy
On February 17, 2022, episode 6 of the Petit Sekai mini anime, titled Leo/need Style, premiered on YouTube. Due to a scene where the characters had darkened skin tones, wore dark make-up, and wore costumes that were similar to stereotypical African tribal outfits (a possible homage to gyaru or ganguro fashion),[40][41] Sega was accused by some English-speaking viewers of blackface and cultural appropriation. The next day, the episode was withdrawn indefinitely and a public apology in both English and Japanese was uploaded to the official Project Sekai Twitter account.[42] The episode was reuploaded to YouTube on March 15, 2022, with modifications to remove the tan, makeup and tribal items.[43]
On October 21, 2021, the event Revival my dream was released on the Japanese servers of the game. This event sparked controversy among English-speaking viewers on social media due to the cards’ costumes portraying perceived racial stereotypes of Native Americans and a character in the event describing “forest dwellers” as “barbaric”, which some people took as racist or colonialist towards Native Americans. Due to this, the event was skipped in the English server. Players defending the event have stated that it was intended to be a reference to the movie Princess Mononoke, and that the story was about overcoming racial prejudice.[44]
Real life events
Concert
Currently, the game has held two types of live concerts: Sekai Symphony and Colorful Link.
Sekai Symphony

Notes

- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac 2D MV was added after the song release in game
- ^ A Nightcord at 25:00 song for the default Sekai version, but the game also features alternate covers by Ichika, Shizuku, Kohane, and Nene respectively.
- ^ The title is a pun on the word "mobile phone" (携帯電話, keitai denwa). 恋話 means "talking about one's love interests; girls' talk; gossiping" though it's worth noting it's usually pronounced "koibana;" "renwa" was likely used instead to create a better pun.
