Project Sekai Movie: Kowareta Sekai to Utaenai Miku

At a CD store, Ichika Hoshino hears a song by Miku that she has never heard before. On the monitor, she sees a "Hatsune Miku" in a form she has never seen before, and couldn't help say it out loud, "Miku!?" Miku was surprised at the voice, her eyes meet Ichika's, but she disappears shortly after.

Later, after a live performance on the street, the Miku that Ichika saw before appears on her smartphone. Miku looks sad and downcast, and when Ichika quietly asks Miku about her story, she tells Ichika that there are people to whom she wants to deliver her songs, but no matter how much she sings, her songs are not reaching them.

Miku, who saw Ichika singing to the hearts of many people at her live performances, thought that if she learns more about Ichika, she can do the same, and came to Ichika. Ichika smiles at Miku and says, "If it's all right with me."

And a new story of Hatsune Miku and the boys and girls begins—.

Been a fan of Hatsune Miku and Vocaloids for more than a decade but haven't played Project Sekai before. Although I'm not interested in the game, I have decided to watch it since it's the first Miku movie. Was expecting the movie to be a heavy promotion for the game but damn I'm glad to be wrong!

It was a good movie which catered to those who like the game as well as those who are fans of Hatsune Miku. I think it will help to have some prior knowledge about the characters from Project Sekai, or you will be a bit clueless in the ... start, but as long as you have been following the Vocaloid scene for the past decade, you will be in for a good ride.

Oh, and prepare tissues before watching!

I had the pleasure of watching this movie in cinemas in Japan during its initial release, and as a day 1 Project Sekai player, it definitely lived up to expectations. All of the main cast from the game get a good amount of screentime and line distribution, with plenty of background scenes and B-roll to show off their personalities and character quirks. The Vocaloid cast also make an appearance, dressed in their respective outfits from each of the game's "Sekai"s.

Definitely would recommend having some knowledge about the game's characters, as they contribute heavily to the plot. However, even if you have no knowledge about Project ... Sekai, it is still an enjoyable movie.

The movie itself is an emotional ride, with some incredible background visuals and music to accompany it. Speaking of music, be prepared for Love Live-esque music sequences where the characters perform both Vocaloid covers and original songs. There were even special post-credit performances similar to the in-game "Virtual Lives". The audience in Japan brought along light sticks for this segment, and were waving them excitedly.

Definitely check out the movie when it releases internationally!
