Crypton Future Media is actively expanding its virtual singer properties into new software platforms and reviving a smartphone game franchise that shut down in 2020.
Crypton Future Media announced on July 22, 2026, that a new smartphone game, Hatsune Miku Graphy Collection: Mysterious Music Comet Re:Merge, will launch for iOS and Android in fall 2026. The game is free-to-play with item-based microtransactions and features the six Piapro Characters: Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO, and KAITO. The main visual was newly drawn by illustrator Kocha Majitaro. The title suggests a connection to the music RPG Hatsune Miku Graphy Collection: Mysterious Music Comet, which ended service in 2020. Further details about the game's genre have not been disclosed and will be announced at a later date.
Earlier in July 2026, Infinite Loop released DLC for MEIKO and KAITO on the Desktop Mate platform. The paid add-ons, each priced at 2,200 yen, are available on Steam and add new 3D models supervised by Crypton Future Media, along with original motions and voice lines. With the release of MEIKO and KAITO, all six Piapro Characters are now represented in Desktop Mate. The DLC includes an alarm function that displays each character full-screen at a set time.
To commemorate the smartphone game announcement, special stickers will be distributed at the Hatsune Miku Magical Mirai 2026 events in Hamamatsu, Osaka, and Tokyo starting July 2026. Visitors can receive a sticker by showing their screen following the game's official X account at the Crypton Future Media Digital Content Team booth.

Infinite Loop released DLC for virtual singers MEIKO and KAITO on the Desktop Mate platform on July 9, 2026. The paid add-ons, each priced at 2,200 yen, are available on Steam and add new 3D models supervised by Crypton Future Media, along with original motions and voice lines. MEIKO, who debuted in November 2004 as the first Japanese-language virtual singer, can be seen striking poses, singing, fixing her hair, relaxing with a drink, and waving when pinched. KAITO, the first male Japanese virtual singer since February 2006, performs singing gestures, poses, eats ice cream, and exits with a polite bow. Both characters have an alarm function that displays them full-screen at a set time. Desktop Mate itself is a free app that displays 3D characters on the PC screen, with additional DLC available for other characters. With the release of MEIKO and KAITO, all six Piapro Characters are now represented in Desktop Mate.
