FRUITS ZIPPER, whose momentum is unstoppable, will release their first album “NEW KAWAII” today, Wednesday, April 10, 2024. During the release event held today, they announced that the album had reached No. 2 on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking. In addition, the “NEW KAWAII Princess” TikTok effect was released today, and a video submission campaign has also started.
Today, on the release day of their album, FRUITS ZIPPER held a release commemoration event at CLUB CITTA’. Despite it being a weekday, a large audience gathered at the venue to celebrate the release. In the mini live, they performed four songs, including their debut song “Oikakete Your Bright Future” and “Watashi no Ichiban Kawaii Tokoro”. Finally, after performing “Super Happy Song ~Is It Okay to Be This Happy?~”, member Manaka Mana announced that “NEW KAWAII” had reached second place on the Oricon Daily Album Rankings for April 9th, which drew huge cheers from the audience.
“I think it’s all thanks to everyone who gathered here today and everyone who supports me every day, so thank you so much. I’ll do my best to be able to see even bigger views with you all, so please continue to support me,” he said, expressing his gratitude to his fans.
To commemorate the release of the album, a costume exhibition and panel exhibition are being held at 12 CD shops nationwide. The costume exhibition displays the costumes worn by FRUITS ZIPPER on their tour last fall and on TV shows, while the panel exhibition displays photos taken during live performances. In addition, as a “Frupper Recommended Store Initiative,” some stores will give out special receipts with messages and signatures from the members. For store details, please check the FRUITS ZIPPER Official Site.
The TikTok effect, which became available from today, features the tiaras worn by FRUITS ZIPPER in their artist photos. By tapping the smartphone screen, you can select and use each member’s tiara. The FRUITS ZIPPER official account is currently publishing posts of members using the effect. Please try posting your favorite member’s tiara and doing a NEW KAWAII dance. In commemoration of the release of the effect, there will also be a campaign where you can win NEW KAWAII goods signed by the members by posting to TikTok using the designated song.
In addition, in Harajuku, a poster takeover will be taking place in the Harajuku area until Friday, April 12th, and the “FRUITS ZIPPER -NEW KAWAII- POP UP STORE” will be held until Sunday, April 14th.
