Yes, there will be a new Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA game

And this time it's another PSP game, rather than an arcade port. No word yet on whether a thirteen-year-old will still be doing Miku's motion-capture work, but I'm hoping an older, more mature girl (say, sixteen) does Megurine Luka's mo-cap, just to keep it in line with her character.

New features this time around are an improved, easier-to-use custom song edit mode, and an option for duet performances, which puts your Luka x Miku yuri fantasies to mo-capped life. More costumes, sets and songs are also included, some of which you can see in the gallery.

Delight, Miku fans! Until release day, sustain yourselves by playing Project DIVA first or watching the video below, one of the most popular entries into Nico Nico Douga's 4th MikuMikuDance Cup. It's set to the song "Paradise and Hell" from the soundtrack of The Rub Rabbits! and features the Vocaloids acting out the various stick-figure animations NicoNico uses as its homepage logo.

Yes, it is as crazy as it sounds.
