IA/VT -Colorful- is a Vocaloid rhythm game, in the same vein as Hatsune Miku Project Diva. The playable soundtrack consists of songs composed through the Vocaloid software, with IA performing the vocal track.
During the course of a song, notes travel along a path toward a purple circle. As they overlap, hit the corresponding button to build up your combo.
The path and circle locations will periodically shift position around the larger circle, requiring you to adapt on the fly (or memorize it really well).
Sometimes the view will shift into the larger circle, with the notes appearing on a less defined path.

Q: Is this game available in English / when will it be localized?
A: According the game's creator, Kenichiro Takaki, due to licensing issues, the game will likely never be localized. If you want it, you'll need to import it.
Q: How many songs does the game have?
A: 60 out of the box, plus however many the DLC will add on in the future.
Q: How much Japanese do I need to know to play this?
A: As a rhythm game, very little. Some menus are in English and it's very easy to navigate through the list of available songs. Some of the mission text may be unclear, but the general idea is to play as best as you can.
Q: Where can I buy IA/VT?
Nippon-Yasan still has the regular edition and limited edition available. Play-Asia (LE) and Solaris Japan (LE) also have it in stock.
