The Japanese version of Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage (Project Sekai) has get an upcoming collaboration event involving Touhou Project. The event will take place from early May 2024.
It was announced at 1:34:34 of the Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage anniversary stream for its 3.5 years of service. There will be three tracks from Touhou Project, with beatMARIO arranging them, that’ll appear in Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage. They are “Last Brutal Sister Flandre S,” “Bad Apple,” and “Help me, ERINNNNNN!!.” Next month’s stream will reveal which unit will sing “Bad Apple.”
During the stream, there were a few jokes as to whether or not kids these days are able to keep up with the Touhou Project information. This is likely due to the height of Touhou Project’s popularity being over a decade ago. In saying that, though, some younger netizens did not even know of Vocaloids until Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage. So even though there are still new Touhou Project games and such coming out, younger fans might not know of its history.
Touhou Project is a bullet hell shoot ‘em up game that ZUN first released in 1997. Its popularity likely stems not only from the games themselves, but also because of its cast of cute girls. As for Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage, it is a rhythm game in which human characters can access a world called SEKAI, which projects their true feelings and allows them to meet virtual Vocaloid singers.
Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage is readily available on mobile devices, and the Touhou Project collaboration event will take place in early May 2024.
