Strum along to the beat in "Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd’s “Rhythm Game”. Tap the corresponding buttons when “melody icons” drop down to their targets, and connect the notes for a combo. Hit as many notes as you can to clear the song and shoot for higher grades!

Project DIVA F 2nd features four difficulty levels ranging from Easy to Extreme. New to the series? Work your way up from Easy to Normal and beyond. Veteran player? Try your hand at the twisting target charts in Hard and Extreme difficulties!

With Project DIVA F 2nd, we’ve tuned the controls for Star Targets to make it feel as if you are playing an instrument along with the song. Star Targets pop up most often during song intros, interludes and other sections where instruments are the focus. Strum along and build your combo!

All songs also include a Technical Zone. You’ll earn bonus points if you perfectly connect a combo through this area! Mastering the Technical Zone is a must if you want to clear higher difficulties!

When the screen frame goes letterbox, it’s Chance Time! A star-shaped gauge at the bottom of the screen will appear and fill up as you successfully hit targets. Fill up the star and hit the Big Star at the end of the sequence to trigger a Bonus Event!

The Project DIVA series is known for its accessibility to players of all levels. To give players more tools at their disposal to adjust the game’s difficulty, we’ve included both Help Items which make songs a little easier to clear and Challenge Items which can make them much more difficult.

Perhaps there's a song you just can't seem to clear―why not use a Help Item or three to give an extra push over that final hurdle? Or if it's getting a little too easy, try adding some Challenge Items to spice things up and really push your limits! How you play is completely up to you! Your chosen combination can have a big impact on how you play through a song, and routines that you're familiar with might suddenly become something quite unexpected.

Keep in mind that the items you use will affect how many DIVA Points you earn for a song, so choose them wisely!

There are five different types of Help Items to choose from:

Challenge Items also come in five varieties:

Customize your Rhythm Game experience with the use of interface enhancements called Skins. There are 21 Skin variations in all, including some that have been hand-drawn by well-known DIVA series illustrators!

You can browse the full range of Skins here.

One of the unique musical features of the Project DIVA F games are the Flick/Scratch controls, which mimics strumming an instrument or scratching a record like a DJ. In Project DIVA F 2nd, we've added some new Star Target types!

From time to time, you’ll come across Linked Stars, which are Star Targets connected by lines―watch the Star Icon slide along the line, and flick or scratch as it passes over each target to build your combo.

When you complete the link, you’ll earn a score bonus!

Double Stars are marked with a “W”―when you see them, flick both sticks or scratch two areas of the screen simultaneously at just the right time to hit the target.

It's a little tricky at first, but you’ll get the hang of it with a little practice!

"Hachune Miku" returns to Project DIVA F 2nd to continue your rhythm game education! But this time, she’s got a little surprise in store.
In the Extreme Tutorial, Hachune introduces strategies for navigating the highest level difficulties. If you've never tried a song on Extreme, here's your chance to experiment with advanced techniques!

Hatsune Miku is the world's best known virtual singer! “Hatsune Miku” means “The first Sound of the Future”, and was originally born in Japan as vocal synthesizer software developed by music-software company Crypton Future Media.
After the software's release in 2007, Hatsune Miku quickly evolved into a phenomenon of a highly participatory cyber culture with creating and sharing Miku-related content around the globe. At present, with more than 1,000,000 derivative artworks and 110,000 user-released songs, Hatsune Miku is not only the icon of this ever expanding creative community, but she is also successful in performing sold-out 3D concerts worldwide - touring with Lady Gaga in Spring 2014, performing a stand-alone event called MIKU EXPO in fall 2014 -, and appearing in TV commercials such as Toyota USA and Google Chrome.
