Instrumental rock and progressive guitar virtuosity fused with pure Pokémon nostalgia, Ichika Nito transforms Pallet Town into an MV that feels like waking up in Professor Oak’s world with a seven-string in hand. The title directly references Pallet Town, the quiet Kanto hometown of Red and Ash, and for the Pokémon 30th Anniversary framing that makes the whole piece hit like a melodic memory capsule: clean-toned wonder, crystalline tapping phrases, and the emotional “first route” feeling of setting out on an adventure for the first time. Rather than flexing technique for its own sake, Ichika uses his signature modern guitar language to rebuild that sense of childhood beginning into something cinematic and almost sacred. Pro tip: He’s Europe tour starts in Eindhoven, Netherlands at May 31 2026!
