Four original goods on sale
Kafu, a virtual singer belonging to KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO/PHENOMENON RECORD, has decided to release a collaboration item with ICECREAM, an apparel brand founded by Pharrell Williams.
■A special collaboration born from Kafu’s love of ice cream
During her activities as a virtual singer, Kafu has often used ice cream as a key item, citing it as “her favorite thing.” In her cover live series of “collecting her favorite songs,” she calls it “Ice Cream Live,” and she often uses ice cream as a motif in the designs of her artist goods and penlights for her solo live shows. This summer, she even sold ice cream at a pop-up shop, making it a special item that is inseparable from her.
This time, a special collaboration between Kafu and ICECREAM, an apparel brand founded by Pharrell Williams, has been realized, and it has been decided that original goods will be sold.
The four items being sold this time are “T-shirts,” “caps,” “socks,” and “charms,” and feature a street-style design that is full of ICECREAM’s playful spirit. The collection includes a variety of goods unique to this collaboration, with designs that graphically incorporate “ice cream,” including Kafu’s illustrations with a melted ice cream motif.
ICECREAM’s statement that “Wealth resides in the heart and intellect that you carry in your pocket” is linked to the worldview that Kafu has conveyed through his music up until now, and this collaboration allows you to feel the depth of the mind that is common to both the artist and the brand.
The merchandise will be available for pre-sale at the live performance “Kafu & Rime “Singularity Live Vol.3″” featuring Kafu to be held on Saturday, September 14th. After that, they will also be available for purchase at FINDME STORE by THINKR from 12:00 on Thursday, September 19th to 13:00 on Monday, October 7th.

■Kafu Artist Profile
A virtual singer from “KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO”.
In 2018, she made her debut at the age of 14, and began her activities without revealing her real face, using a 3D modeled avatar. Even in a field where diverse expressions continue to emerge, she established herself as an artist with a unique singing voice and worldview.
The various collaborations in the collaborative project “Kumikyoku” became a hot topic, and the total number of views on YouTube has now exceeded 200 million, with an enthusiastic fan community both in Japan and overseas.
The songs they created with Kanzaki Iori, who has been their main composer since the band’s early days, have been highly praised, and in August 2022 they successfully held a solo concert “Fukakai San (Kyou)” at Nippon Budokan.
In January 2024, they will hold their 4th ONE-MAN LIVE “Kaiuta” at Yoyogi National Gymnasium No. 1, which can be said to be the beginning of the second chapter. Following the Budokan, they successfully held the first arena concert, which broke the record for the largest scale as a solo virtual singer concert.
