■Hanafu Artist Profile
A virtual singer who started with “KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO.”
He made his debut in 2018 at the age of 14.
Establishes a virtual artist with a unique singing voice and worldview.
The artist collaboration in the “Suite” series has also become a hot topic, with the current number of YouTube subscribers exceeding 1 million and total views exceeding 300 million. The fanatic community of fans is expanding both domestically and internationally.
The songs he produced with Kanzaki Iori, the main composer from the early days of his activities, received high praise, and in August 2022 they held a solo live performance at Nippon Budokan, “Muslim San (Kuru).”
In January 2024, the 4th ONE-MAN LIVE “Kai-song” was held at Yoyogi First Gymnasium, which could be said to be the beginning of chapter 2, and, following Budokan, successfully performed the first arena performance, the largest virtual singer solo performance.
From this live performance, she began working as a virtual singer-songwriter, Kayaka. As a new fork in “Hanafu,” she releases her own impulsive feelings that erupt from within into her into songs.
Last December, he released his 4th ALBUM “Fables,” which marked the first time in a year and nine months. This is the first album released after graduating from his ally Kanzaki Iori’s Kamitsubaki, and this work features a new song series called “Single Songs,” curated by KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO’s producer PIEDPIPER, featuring a new production group with multiple creators, depicting a new image of flower music.
