Your sister’s a Vocaloid in this mod
Hatsune Miku – Friday Night Funkin’ Mod is a free video game utility that lets you have a full week of fighting the iconic Vocaloid character, Hatsune Miku, in a rap battle. Developed by evdial and GenoX, this is a fanmade mod for the hit indie rhythm game, Friday Night Funkin’.
Similar to the Mid-Fight Masses and Papyrus mods, you get a new opponent and all-new songs to go along with her appearance here. There are also new charts, as well as the addition of character vocals. However, one drawback here is the sudden difficulty spike between songs.
Is Hatsune Miku in Friday Night Funkin?
Friday Night Funkin’ is a 2020 free-to-play and open-source music game first created for the Ludum Dare 47 competition. In it, you play as the aptly-named Boyfriend, who’s trying to score a date with his Girlfriend by doing sing-offs against other characters thwarting them. The game’s success and open-source code eventually inspired dozens of mods that feature either original fan-made characters or iconic fictional characters.
One of these is Hatsune Miku, who is a personified Vocaloid software voicebank. She’s portrayed as a 16-year-old girl who performs as a virtual idol for the Vocaloid community and the official marketing materials. Her popularity often gets her crossover shoutout roles in various media like shows and games—and this is no different in evdial and GenoX’s Hatsune Miku mod for Friday Night Funkin’.
Not to be confused with bbpanzu’s Hatsune Miku mod, this particular mod has Miku as Boyfriend’s world-famous older sister who has just recently returned home. With her inclusion comes a full week and four new songs to master—which are actual Vocaloid songs that have been given new charts and Boyfriend vocals. However, each song gets harder and harder in such an insane spike of difficulty.
Impress your sis
All in all, Hatsune Miku – Friday Night Funkin’ Mod is a great mod to try out for the rhythm game if you’re both a fan of the virtual idol and love a good rhythm challenge. While the difficulty really goes through the roof for each song, they’re familiar songs to Vocaloid fans and can still be easy to follow despite the fast pace.
