プロジェクトセカイ カラフルステージ！ feat. 初音ミク

Project Sekai Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku is an active rhythm and adventure game for iOS and Android, with Sega and Colorful Palette releasing new songs, events, gachas, and music videos through September 2026. The current in-game collaboration, The Music Style, runs until September 13, 2026.

Synthesized from 30 Yomimono stories · updated 2d ago

Throughout August and early September 2026, Project Sekai Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku maintained a steady cadence of content drops, with Sega and Colorful Palette adding new rhythm game songs, events, and gachas, plus full-size 2D music videos on the official YouTube channel. New song contributions came from a range of outside creators: syudou's 'Anti-Sainou' brought together a five-member cast across units, while emon (Tes.) and STEAKA added tracks with unit-specific versions. Amala and Satsuki were announced as new songwriting creators for Vivid BAD SQUAD and WonderlandsxShowtime respectively.

Events and gachas ran in parallel, each introducing new members and costumes. The Leap Beyond The Limits! event and Piercing Light Gacha opened on August 9, Mix&Make Party Time!! and the Unspoken Code Gacha ran from August 29 to early September, and the Vocaloid song collaboration The Music Style launched on September 3 with six song-titled members, including some live costumes. Several songs were distributed free through in-game Present or Gift features, while others required Music Card exchanges at the Music Shop.

The game's music video library expanded with full-size 2D MVs for multiple Sekai versions, including 'Hana ni Kaze', 'Pentatonic', 'Haneuta', 'Hide and Seek', and a solo MV for Tenma Tsukasa's 'Buriki no Dance'. Coverage treated these releases as routine updates to a live service game, with no indication of major shifts in the game's direction or player base during this period.
