The game is an expansion to the 2010 video game, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA 2nd, and was first released on November 10, 2011 in Japan. Like the original the game primarily makes use of Vocaloids, a series of singing synthesizer software, and the songs created using these vocaloids most notably the virtual-diva Vocaloid Hatsune Miku. As it is an expansion to Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA 2nd, the game features exactly the same gameplay. The only difference between the two games are the selection of modules and songs available in the games.
