The hit of the week is by Hatsune Miku… alongside Pikachu

Now, the crossover will extend to 18 different songs sung by Hatsune Miku and created by different artists with Vocaloid.

The Pokémon fan community has been buzzing for a month now. And it’s not because of a new game or an update for ‘Pokémon Go.’ It doesn’t even relate to the anime or the trading card game. Instead, it’s about an unprecedented collaboration with Hatsune Miku, where they released 18 images, each featuring a different type of trainer and created by independent artists. So, what’s next? Was this all Project Voltage had to offer? Well, from the looks of it… it’s only just begun.

Gotta sing with all!

Now, the crossover will extend to 18 different songs sung by Hatsune Miku and created by various Vocaloid artists. Remember, if you’re a bit older or simply not interested in this topic, Hatsune Miku isn’t a real artist; she’s an artificial voice used to create songs and has even performed concerts worldwide.

The first hit is composed by DECO*27 and is called ‘Volt Tackle,’ featuring the singer and none other than Pikachu himself. The lyrics might not be its strongest suit (“This love goes zip zap zoom and the chu chu chu won’t stop (…) I throw my Electric Tackle at your heart. Not very effective… Why not? Come on!!”), but its progressive rock rhythm makes it impossible not to listen to it over and over again.

The same sentiment has been echoed by three million people in three days, turning one of the most unlikely collaborations into a major hit of the season. We know that the next artists to present their vision will be Inabakumori, Mitchie M, and Pinocchio-p, all renowned Vocaloid composers. We can only wait for the new anthems that will captivate a whole generation of Pokémon fans.

Hatsune Miku and Pokémon: the crossover you didn’t know you needed

The Pokémon Company has created the Voltage project that imagines the singer as different types of trainer, always prepared for battle.

When Game Freak created ‘Pokémon‘ in the early 1990s, they couldn’t have imagined that almost forty years later, these little creatures would help with everything: from sleeping to brushing teeth or going for a walk. Furthermore, they probably didn’t foresee that the games would continue to be true social phenomena. If teaming up with virtual singers who don’t exist in the real world is what it takes to remain a part of cultural relevance, then so be it.

My dear Amiku

Hatsune Miku is the singer of millions of songs across all genres, with all kinds of lyrics and music. And it’s not that she’s just locked in a studio all day; she’s the digital voice of the Vocaloid program, and she has been performing concerts in front of thousands of people since 2009. She is possibly one of the most well-known idols of recent times, and as such, it was only logical for her to collaborate with Pokémon. Why not?

An icon alongside another icon: The Pokémon Company has initiated Project Voltage, which envisions the singer as different types of trainers, always ready for battle. Drawn by six different artists and covering the 18 types of creatures, the entire collaboration will be unveiled on the internet day by day.

At this point, and considering that games like ‘Fortnite’ or ‘Call of Duty‘ regularly feature special appearances, would it really surprise us if Hatsune Miku made a special cameo in the DLCs of ‘Pokémon Scarlet’ and ‘Pokémon Violet’? So far, this crossover has completely broken the internet, so at Nintendo, who has a keen eye for these things, they have probably taken notice.

However, please, let someone be thinking about a musical game in the Pokémon series, similar to ‘Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!’. I’ve never asked for anything, Nintendo. Well, actually, I have: give Waluigi the spotlight he deserves. It wouldn’t hurt to grant me these two little wishes.
