About a month ago, to celebrate Hatsune Miku’s birthday, a collaboration between her and Pokémon titled Project Voltage was announced. The collab would feature 18 different designs of Miku based on Pokémon types, followed by 18 music videos for the same reason. Dripfed over the month of September, we now have the full and spectacular lineup of Mikus to enjoy. In order:
- Psychic Miku with Meloetta by take
- Grass Miku with Rillaboom by Megumi Mizutani
- Fire Miku with Skeledirge by Megumi Mizutani
- Water Miku with Primarina by Megumi Mizutani
- Electric Miku with Rotom by kannnu
- Normal Miku with Chatot by Megumi Mizutani
- Ice Miku with Lapras by kantaro
- Rock Miku with Aurorus by Megumi Mizutani
- Ground Miku with Flygon by kannnu
- Flying Miku with Altaria by kannnu
- Fairy Miku with Jigglypuff by Megumi Mizutani
- Bug Miku with Kricketune by Megumi Mizutani
- Poison Miku with Toxtricity by kantaro
- Ghost Miku with Mismagius by take
- Dark Miku with Obstagoon by Lownine
- Steel Miku with Jirachi by Megumi Mizutani
- Fighting Miku with Sirfetch’d by take
- Dragon Miku with Miraidon by Yusuke Ohmura
Just oodles of creativity on display. My personal favorites are Ground, Electric, and Dark types, though each and every one is inspired, right down to the choice of partner Pokémon.
Starting tomorrow, the music videos for the Project begin releasing. The first comes from storied vocal synth producer DECO*27 and is titled “Volt Tackle.” We have the first image from the video too:
