The latest Pokémon x Hatsune Miku collab song is an homage to Black & White’s N
The “Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku Project VOLTAGE High↑” project, also known as “PokéMiku,” has released its latest original song and music video, “Ooparts” by Nilfruits.
This new release coincides with the 15th anniversary of the Pokémon Black & White games.
“PokéMiku” is a special collaboration project that connects the worlds of Pokémon and Hatsune Miku through music.
Since its launch in August 2023, the project has released 23 original songs that sample BGM and sound effects from the Pokémon game series, with music videos featuring both Pokémon and Hatsune Miku.
The cumulative total views for the series on YouTube and Niconico Douga have surpassed 100 million.
The new song, “Ooparts,” was written and composed by the producer Nilfruits.
In a comment, Nilfruits expressed his inspiration, stating:
“When I first played Pokémon Black & White, I was shocked by the story that questioned the coexistence of humans and Pokémon. Among them, N was particularly unique compared to many other villains in the series, and I was strongly drawn to his background and his ambiguous existence, wondering if he could even be called ‘evil.’ I am grateful for this opportunity to express my feelings for N, and I have put my own ‘unknowns’ into sound and words.”
This new track will be part of the lineup performed at the first-ever “PokéMiku Live!” event.
This major live music event is scheduled to be held over three days, from the 20th to the 22nd of March, 2026, at LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY.
The concert will feature performances of all 23 original PokéMiku songs, plus new songs yet to be released, by Hatsune Miku and the other Piapro Characters, with guest appearances by Pokémon like Pikachu and Meloetta.
The “Ooparts” music video is now available to view on YouTube:
