"Project Sekai" x "#Compass" Collab Ignites Social Media with "Violence Trigger" Debut!

The highly popular rhythm game "Project Sekai Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku" (hereafter, Proseka) today, March 14th, at 3 PM JST, added the tie-up song "Violence Trigger" from the popular competitive game "#Compass - Combat Providence Analysis System" (hereafter, #Compass). This immediately created a significant buzz on social media.

This long-awaited collaboration elicited joyful exclamations of "Nostalgic!" from many fans. Simultaneously, the new version sung by Proseka's unit "Vivid BAD SQUAD" (VBS) received a flurry of praise, with comments like "VBS's Violence Trigger is great" and "An-chan and Kohane are just too good." Many specifically noted the faithful reproduction of Miku's original parts and how the VBS members' voices further enhanced the song's appeal.

Alongside the song addition, a short animated video for "Violence Trigger" was released in-game. Fans expressed high expectations for its quality, saying, "An animation by YOOKI-san and Miyoru-san is bound to be high-quality!" There were also comments pointing out, "Isn't that the same choreography from Rai-Ari (Live Arena)!?", much to the delight of #Compass fans.

Regarding gameplay, many users challenged the song's difficulty. Comments like "I really want to All Perfect Violence Trigger" and "First try on Master, 1 Good, I'm crying" were accompanied by a continuous stream of reports of achieving All Perfect (AP), indicating the intense dedication of players. Despite struggling with visually tricky sections and long trills, many players are passionately enjoying the fun chart.

Furthermore, a "dance cover" video by the original Megumegu actor has once again garnered attention, showcasing how the song is being enjoyed in various forms beyond the game itself. The implementation of "Violence Trigger" has truly become a "supreme collaboration" for fans of both titles, offering deep emotion and excitement through music, gameplay, and dance performance.

The Context

"Project Sekai Colorful Stage! feat. Hatsune Miku," often abbreviated as "Proseka," is an immensely popular mobile rhythm game developed by Colorful Palette and published by SEGA. It features the virtual singer Hatsune Miku and other Vocaloids alongside original characters across various musical units, each with a distinct style. "Vivid BAD SQUAD" (also known as VBS or Bibibas) is one such unit within Proseka, specializing in street music and known for their powerful vocal performances.

"#Compass - Combat Providence Analysis System" is a popular real-time 3D competitive battle arena game (often likened to a mobile MOBA) developed by NHN PlayArt and Dwango. It's known for its fast-paced 3v3 battles and a roster of unique characters, each with their own theme songs and distinct abilities. "Violence Trigger" is a highly popular song associated with the character Megumegu from #Compass, making its inclusion in Proseka a significant crossover event.

The term "AP" refers to "All Perfect" in rhythm games, meaning a player has hit every note with perfect timing, achieving the highest possible score. "Rai-Ari" (Live Arena) is likely a reference to a feature or event within #Compass where characters perform dances or have special animations, making the shared choreography a special nod to #Compass fans.

Hatsune Miku, as a virtual idol and Vocaloid software, holds a significant cultural presence in Japan and globally. Her presence often signifies a broader reach for collaborations, connecting different fan bases through music.

2021 Japan Derby Winner Shahryar (5-Year-Old Stallion) Retires from Stud Duty

It has been revealed that Shahryar (5-year-old stallion), winner of the 2021 Japan Derby, has retired from stud duty. This unusually early retirement, coming just this year after he began his career as a stallion, has sent shockwaves through the horse racing fan community. The primary reason for his retirement was an extremely low conception rate. In his first year of breeding, he covered 74 mares, but ultimately, only 7 conceptions were confirmed, a severely challenging situation. Given this exceptionally low rate, discussions among those involved led to the decision that it would be difficult for him to continue as a stallion.
