Team Bidoof (ゴー！ビッパ団) set to premiere on the official YouTube of WONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY! this Friday, February 2nd, at 6:30pm (JST) / 9:30am (UTC) / 1:30am (PST).

Primarily making songs featuring Kagamine Rin and Len, WONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY! (ワンダフル☆オポチュニティ！) a duo formed by Vocaloid producers Jesus-P and Minus-P, has been active since 2009. The pair are together one of the most prolific Vocaloid artists, with the 19th album in their Wan★Opo! series having been released in August 2023.

​

The Vocaloid producers releasing music videos for this project over the February were revealed in a post on the official @PokeMikuVOLTAGE account on X (formerly Twitter) at the end of last month. Apart from the common theme of "Pokémon featuring Hatsune Miku", and the requirement that the songs sample the background music and sound effects of the Pokémon games in some way, each of the producers for the Songs and Music Videos sub-project have been given free reign to express their own creative vision. The remaining songs will be released on the YouTube channels of each individual Vocaloid Producer over the coming months.

The next song to release on February 9th will come from Kuriyama Yuri (栗山夕璃), formerly known as Hachiya Nanashi (蜂屋ななし). Having made their debut in 2014, they retired under their original alies in late 2020, stating they had "resolved his anger and resentment toward the world", before resuming releasing music in early 2021 under their current alias. Known for fast-paced music featuring vocals from flower and Hatsune Miku, they were inducted into the Vocaloid Hall of Fame back in 2016 for the song ONE OFF MIND. Other notable works from this artist include songs such as Limelight and Jitterbug. In addition to their individual work, Kuriyama Yuri is a member of the group Van de Shop together with producers Dossi (ドッシー), Koh Hashikura (端倉鑛), and Nagasaki Reiji (長崎0時), and illustrator Harumotsu (はるもつ).

Project VOLTAGE's first sub-project, "18 Types of Hatsune Miku and Partner Pokémon Illustrations and Settings" (18タイプの初音ミク＆相棒ポケモンのイラスト・設定資料) featured a set of 18 artworks from 6 separate artists based on the theme of "What if Hatsune Miku was an XX-type Pokémon Trainer". This project completed on September 28th, 2023, with the posting of the Dragon-type Hatsune Miku with her partner Pokémon Miraidon, however the past months have seen an additional range of additional bonus illustrations also being released. All illustrations released by the project to date can be found catalogued on Bulbapedia.
