This is another franchise we may be looking forward in addition to Project Diva series. The gameplay may be completely different as we can tell. It's that you have to tap the corresponding buttons when the notes approach down but be careful of the blue notes that in addition to tapping the corresponding buttons, you also have to tap the corresponding sides of the back touchpad of the console. Also, you get parts of the lyrics you have to insert on time but don't insert the wrong ones or the ones in wrong order as you will break the combo. When inserted on time, they will be sung even if you insert the wrong parts or the parts of the lyrics in wrong order. Of course, the results screen will tell you which ones are wrong and which ones are right but you can already know which ones are right or wrong from the bonus during the song. What a difficulty curve of the game if you don't know the Japanese language as if it may be one of the negatives of the game.
Another unncessary feature is the lyric arrangement which may make the lyrics being sung like ridiculous, funny or crap depending on the setup in which you may want the original lyrics even better. You can probably use this feature if you want something funny but don't put in anything offensive in the lyrics. It may be the same for the IOS app. The third downside of the game is that there's a lack of pop idol elements in the game. Instead, it's completely slice of life kind of the game and I don't know what the game ending is like. I may expect some kind of live idol stage in school with two characters performing in this game with some gameplay while retaining the 5-7-5 haiku concept which is interesting as hell.
Just like other rhythm games, not all songs are that great and the best ones are already in the game's soundtrack CD that is being managed by EXIT TUNES. Another interesting thing is that it's a Vocaloid kind of rhythm game by Sega similar to Project Diva series. The IOS app uses the same technology but the thing is, the lyrics have to be entered in 5-7-5 way. Downside of the IOS app is that you can't use both voicebanks at the same time and those voicebanks are IOS exclusive. So if you try to extract them and use them in the Vocaloid software on the computer, that is considered illegal and piracy. Since the game is not on Asian PSN, I'm afraid that there won't be some good chance for me to buy it one day. Maybe I'll check at the game stores to see if that is available. Man, it's like the Playstation Vita is starting to be full of rhythm games besides their exclusives including the popular games made in Japan for that console.
