Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto Pokemon Song Discussed

In an interview for “Facade Question,” which was the Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto collaboration Pokemon song for Project Voltage High↑, 32ki (the producer of the song; name pronounced “Satsuki”) and Yomitan Akane (the one who made the music video) spoke about the themes behind it. The song not only focuses on one’s true self, but it also argues that lies aren’t always a bad thing. [Thanks, Famitsu!] First, as a reminder, here is the Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto Pokemon song “Facade Question.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njKdvdYQ-xE 32ki mentions that since the song came out on April 1, 2025, which doubled as Kasane Teto’s birthday, he wanted to make the song focus on lies and how they can sometimes be good. Throughout the music video, Pokemon affiliated with deception—Sudowoodo, Zoroark, and Mimikyu—show up. Even though these Pokemon pretend to be something else and either lie about or obfuscate the truth, they just want to be friends with others. 32ki also states that the moral of how you should just be yourself often appears in fiction. However, he believes that this doesn’t apply to everyone or in every situation. So it’s good to maintain a “false” version of yourself if it helps maintain cordial relationships. He adds that his recent songs place importance on finding compromises rather than thinking everything as either 0 or 100. Aside from the messages in “Facade Question”, 32ki wanted to make this song a bright and happy one while also drawing a line between it and his representative works (“Mesmerizer” and “Obsomeat”). Since Miku and Teto often appear in fast-paced songs, he focused on creating a contrast between them using minor changes. One example he gave was how he changed the beat of the chorus from a four on the floor to a shuffle beat. He believes “Facade Question” is a perfect mix between his own aesthetics and Pokemon’s. “Facade Question” is part of Project Voltage, which is a collaboration between Hatsune Miku and Pokemon. It began in September 2023. The post Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto Pokemon Song Discussed appeared first on Siliconera.
