This program is a music program where VTuber ChumuNote, who loves songs by virtual artists, becomes the MC of the program, delving deeper into the songs with guest artists, and increasing the number of V-music lovers.

■ChumuNote
“Hi, man!”
A VTuber who made his “re-re-debut” on February 17th, 2023. My main job is a mixing engineer. The sunflower backpack in the back has infinite possibilities. Her activities range from activities such as her activities with the idol unit “épeler” and performing at DJ events.
■Hana-tan
He began posting videos of singing on Niconico Douga in 2008 and gained popularity at a rapid rate, winning number one in the category rankings for Doriko’s song “Romeo and Cinderella,” which he posted in April 2009.
After performing live performances not only in Japan but also in Asia, he did not reveal his face to the media in January 2022, so he made his debut as a Vtuber, which he wanted to do to broaden his range of activities.
In the same year, he was also in charge of opening the anime theme song, which he had always been his goal, and has expanded his range of activities and is still active in live shows both domestically and internationally, and is active in a wide range of singing anime theme songs and insert songs.
