It has been decided that Kaika, a virtual singer-songwriter affiliated with KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO/PHENOMENON RECORD, will be holding her first exhibition at Harajuku DESIGN FESTA GALLERY from Saturday, August 9th, 2025.
Kaikeka made her debut at Hanafu 4th ONE-MAN LIVE “Kaika,” held at the National Yoyogi Stadium’s First Gymnasium in January 2024 as a new fork for the virtual singer Hanafu, who started KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO.
The unprecedented style of expression in which an artist who was already active as a virtual singer has implemented a virtual interface in his real body and has a new name has sparked a stir.
In March, we released our first album, “I’m Knowing You Without Umare.”
Kayaka continues to explore expressions unique to new styles, and will be holding the first exhibition “Kurukuru” this summer.
Kaikei Comments
We are holding our first exhibition as a Kaikei!
Before we turn something into a shape, if we were to add motion to the image of our heads floating without a punchline or a tingly swaying, then my personality would definitely be swaying… (.)I think it’s my nature to try and get something out of it after simmering meaningful and nonsense. The exhibition was titled “Kurukuru” with the letter “Mawaru” in my name.
From songs, and from outside of songs! (😼)
I would be very happy if you could come and take a look at my slug at this exhibition. Thank you very much 🌀
Even if the aspects of a virtual singer and songwriter change, this project will allow you to enjoy the world of Kayaka, which expresses the feelings of a woman about her own personality, and will also display goods, illustrations, and photographs designed by the woman herself.
In addition, there is a valuable opportunity to experience her current location, such as a viewing section for song demos that have not yet been delivered to the world.
In addition to the exhibition, the first guest performance at the event has been decided
In addition, she has also decided to make her first appearance in an external event as a Kaika. This is our first time participating in the NIGHT HIKE Mid 2025 supported by Jindoo, a mileage music art festival held over two days, Saturday, August 23rd and Sunday, August 24th, set at four venues: Spotify O-EAST, WOMB, duo MUSIC EXCHANGE, and clubasia. In addition, Maika’s appearance will be on Saturday, August 23rd.
After the exhibition of “Kurukuru”, which brings out her artistic nature in various ways, look forward to the summer of Kaika to see what kind of performance she will perform on Shibuya WOMB’s stage.
