Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA (初音ミク -Project DIVA-) is a 2009 rhythm game created by Sega and Crypton Future Media for the PlayStation Portable. The game was first released on July 2, 2009 in Japan with no international release. The game primarily makes use of Vocaloids, a series of singing synthesizer software, and the songs created using these Vocaloids most notably the virtual-diva Vocaloid Hatsune Miku. The game is the first video game to utilize the Vocaloid software developed by the Yamaha Corporation.

It allows players to play Project DIVA on the PlayStation 3 with updated visuals though it requires the PlayStation Portable to be plugged into the PlayStation 3 via a USB cable.
As the first game in the series, Project Diva has a gameplay similar to that of the series, albeit without some of the current features in the series. The game only features 3 difficulty modes, easy, medium and hard as opposed to the 4 difficulty modes of the series forgoing the Extreme difficulty, which was only added in its sequel. As well as the lack of the Diva ROOM feature that was also only added in its sequel.
