Press Release - Pokémon x Hatsune Miku will hold five live concerts in March 2026!

All "PokéMiku" songs will be performed live for the first time!

Crypton Future Media, Inc. has announced the live event Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku VOLTAGE Live! (also known as "PokéMiku Live"). This marks the first live concert as part of Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku Project VOLTAGE High↑ (commonly known as "PokéMiku"), a collaboration project between virtual singer Hatsune Miku and Pokémon, produced by The Pokémon Company. The event will be held over three days, from Friday, March 20th, 2026 to Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, at LaLa Arena TOKYO-BAY near Minami-Funabashi Station in Chiba Prefecture. The official first lottery for domestic and international tickets will begin on Monday, September 1st, 2025, at 10:00 AM.

At this live concert, virtual singers including Hatsune Miku and numerous Pokémon will come to life and perform all of the PokéMiku's songs. Come join us for this exciting, first-ever live music event in PokéMiku history!

The first live concert will feature five performances over three days! There will even be a collaboration between virtual singers and Pokémon!

Pokémon debuted as a video game in 1996, and Hatsune Miku began as a music software in 2007. The project, "PokéMiku," which brings together these two, launched on August 31st, 2023, and has enriched and connected both the real and virtual worlds.

Two years have passed since then. The number of original PokéMiku songs created as part of the project has grown to 22, and the first-ever PokéMiku live event is finally here. Five performances will be held over three days, from Friday, March 20th. 2026 to Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, at LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY.

On the day of the concert, professional band members will perform numerous PokéMiku songs live. Virtual singers Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, MEIKO, and KAITO will perform live, with guest appearance by Kasane Teto. In addition, many Pokémon, including Pikachu and Meloetta, will also pop out to join the virtual singers and liven up the venue.

Why not take part in an unprecedented live stage performance where virtual singers and Pokémon will perform together, and experience the moment when dreams, adventure, the future, and music intersect before your eyes?

The main visual is an original design by Take! It also features Hatsune Miku, Pikachu, and Meloetta!

Today, along with the launch of the special live website, we also unveiled the event's main visual. Take is the character designer/illustrator responsible for the original costume design for the PokéMiku Live and the main visual. They illustrated Hatsune Miku singing joyfully alongside Pikachu and Meloetta in original costumes created specifically for this live performance.

We've received a comment from Take, which we'd like to share with you.

Take's Comment:

I'm Take, in charge of the costume design and main visual for Live!

This Miku is a little different from the 18 unique Mikus we've featured to date. It was inspired by the idea, "What if Hatsune Miku secretly appeared in the world of Pokémon?" We discussed extensively with the PokéMiku team about what kind of look would be appropriate when designing the costumes.

At the same time, this is the first live event where Pokémon and Hatsune Miku team up, so beyond the costume design, we're excited to incorporate as many unique ideas into this unprecedented live event.

We hope you'll enjoy this adventure with us!

A New Song will also be posted next month!

At "PokéMiku Live," we'll be performing all of the PokéMiku songs, including the 22 songs released so far (excluding remixes), as well as several new songs that will be released between now and the live event. On Thursday, September 18th, 2025, we plan to release a new song by a music creator appearing for the first time in this project.

The official "PokéMiku" website introduces all PokéMiku songs, including those to be released in the future, along with profiles and comments from the music creators behind them. Enjoy this site as a way to prepare for the live performance.

Concert ticket sales start September 1st, 2025! Live merchandise will also be produced!

Tickets for the "PokéMiku Live" will be available through the official first lottery starting at 10:00 AM on Monday, September 1st, 2025. Applications will close at 11:59 PM on Sunday, September 21st, 2025.

In addition, to celebrate PokéMiku's first live performance, it has been decided that live merchandise will also be produced. Merchandise information will be posted regularly on the official PokéMiku website, so please follow us for further updates.

【竹さんのコメント】

ポケミクに今度はライブで会える...！
Live！衣装デザイン／メインビジュアルを担当しました。竹です。

今回のミクは、今までの個性的な18タイプのミクたちとはすこし違って「もしもポケモンの世界に"初音ミク"がお忍びで現れたとしたら…？」というテーマが発想の原点になっています。どんなすがたが相応しいかなと、ポケミクチームの皆さんとたくさん話し合いながら衣装を考えました。

また同時に、ポケモン✕初音ミクがタッグを組んでの、はじめてのライブイベントでもあり衣装デザイン以外にも、今までにないライブならではのトクベツなチャレンジを一つでも多く盛り込めるよう、色々はりきっております。
一緒にこの冒険を楽しんでもらえたら嬉しいです！
