Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku VOLTAGE Live! debuts as the first concert experience in the Project Voltage collaboration. Taking place March 20–22, 2026 at LaLa Arena Tokyo-Bay, the show combines holographic 3D performances from Hatsune Miku with appearances by Kagamine Rin and Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO, KAITO, and guest Kasane Teto. Pokémon like Pikachu and Meloetta also join the spectacle, blending gaming icons with Vocaloid idols in a seamless stage crossover.
The concert builds on the Project Voltage initiative that began in 2023, pairing Miku with Pokémon across 18 types, and later expanding into “Project Voltage High” in 2024. VOLTAGE Live! unites the music, artwork, and collaborations from both phases into a single immersive event. Ticketing will follow a lottery system to manage demand, ensuring fans have a fair chance to attend this landmark fusion of anime, gaming, and digital performance.
