It’s Electric! Hatsune Miku Concerts. Coming Soon: Pacific Northwest Shows and Pokémon feat. VOLTAGE Live!

PokéMiku is truly a natural fusion of two hot Japanese properties which the Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku VOLTAGE Live! spotlighted last weekend, and as for what’s next? Read on to find out:

Pokémon and Hatsune Miku VOLTAGE Live!There’s something quietly electric about two cultural titans brushing against each other, and this one hums with neon life. With Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku VOLTAGE Live!, two worlds collide in a way that feels oddly natural. In hindsight, Pokémon and Hatsune Miku were always bound to meet somewhere in the circuitry. One is a franchise built on collecting, evolution, and imagination. The other began as singing voice software before evolving into a global virtual pop icon. Now, she’s getting Poké-tized, yes, I’m claiming that word, and honestly, it fits.

A single day pass was 5,500 ($46 USD) and the weekend ticket was￥10,000 ($84 USD). With that price, I hoped this blog’s criticisms from before would be addressed. A few things did get changed, but other aspects remain the same for this augmented reality experience.
