Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! Fans Are Making Incredible Passive-Aggressive Stamps

2K View2022-08-17

I cannot claim to be a Hatsune Miku fan, though the colorful J-pop franchise has always intrigued me. But I may have been finally convinced to give it a shot thanks to some amazing fan creations coming out of the latest Miku mobile title, Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!

Over on the Project Sekai subreddit, which is devoted to discussing Colorful Stage, one talking point that regularly comes up is the game's system of stamps. As players perform well in songs, rank up, and level their J-pop idol crew, they unlock stamps that can be sent to other players while performing in co-op sessions. But the hardest of the hardcore fans aren't satisfied by the limited stamp options available in each game and have taken the amazing step of creating their own stamps. And some of these are just incredible.

Whether you're looking to take a partner to task for disconnecting, push them to speed things up, or just tell them to STOP, these stamps get the job done—often in a hilariously pointed and passive-aggressive manner.

I've saved the most brutal of all for last. This stamp serves specifically to call out players who have based their account names on another popular mobile game with an anime aesthetic. As someone whose username here on TapTap may or may not be based on a Final Fantasy character, this one hits home.

Ouch! Ice cold.

Props to Reddit users Alliroll, Behea, and Hypohipster for these excellent creations. Be sure to check out the subreddit for plenty more. Sega, if you're reading this, put these in the game! That would be enough to convince me to download it!
