Future Work

When asked in a February 2018 interview, Joe would state there probably won't be more music from ミラクルミュージカル, and that further musical ideas for ミラクルミュージカル would be used for future Tally Hall work.

On December 13th 2018, Joe Hawley, Ross Federman and Bora Karaca hosted an "Ask Me Anything" thread on reddit.com, to commemorate and celebrate 6 years since Hawaii: Part II's release. Within the thread the three pioneers of the ミラクルミュージカル project answered a myriad of questions related to ミラクルミュージカル, and all of their respective works.

When asked if there would be more music from 'Miracle Musical', Joe Hawley answered: "There won't be a Hawaii: Part I or Hawaii: Part III or whatever, so please stop asking, but we might further explore the themes of ミラクルミュージカル in some form" Following up by answering a similar question with: "There will not be another "Hawaii: Part" anything for ミラクルミュージカル"

On July 12th, 2019 a 7-inch vinyl pressing of Variations On A Cloud was released for pre-order through Ann Arbor Tees, as a bundle with an embroidered cotton hat.
