The official website also features comments from the album’s participating composers and artists and creators with ties to Hanafu.
Virtual singer Hanafu, who belongs to KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO/PHENOMENON RECORD, will release her 4th album “Fable” today.
To commemorate the release of this work, in addition to POP UP STORE at Tower Records Shibuya store (Tokyo) and Tower Records Umeda Nu Chayamachi store (Osaka), we will be opening 8 locations nationwide in collaboration with the self-photo booth “Photomatic” that arrived in Japan this year. It is currently being implemented.
■A work that is a “continuation of Juvenile” by Hanafu, who has been facing music throughout his teens.
Hanafu’s 4th album “Fable”, which is their first in 1 year and 9 months, will be released after the graduation of Kanzaki Iori, an ally with whom they have been creating songs since the beginning of their career, from Kamitsubaki, and is the first album since the new system has been established. This is an album work.
This work depicts a new image of flower music as a new group of songs “Kashokyoku” created by the production system of multiple creators and curated by KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO’s producer PIEDPIPER.
This time as well, it will be released in three forms: α, β, and a special box that includes α, and the luxurious bundled goods that are popular with each release are also a highlight.
