Kujiragi is a working singer who claims to be a company employee.
In 2018, she began posting cover singing videos on a video sharing site.
When the group first began, they were called “Super Poor Whale,” but they changed their name to the current “Kujiragi.”
Her sweet, clear voice is her trademark and is sure to soothe tired modern people.
At the VOCALOID culture festival “The VOCALOID Collection” (commonly known as VocaColle) held in the spring of 2021, she performed a cover of “Seek Seek Seek” (lyrics and composition by Ichibutsu Kamome) and ranked 9th in the singing cover rankings.
She performs covers of Vocaloid songs in her irregular TwitCasting broadcasts, and currently has 20,000 followers on Twitter and 30,000 subscribers on YouTube.
Although her main activity is singing cover songs of Vocaloid songs, in May 2022 she released limited edition goods as part of the merchandise project “Kujiragi x Village Vanguard.”
In October 2023, he digitally released his first original song, “Hana ni Natte,” written by the popular Vocaloid producer FLG4. In November, he released his second original song, “Panorama,” written by the popular composer Nanahoshi Orchestra, and released a music video.
On April 3, 2024, he will release his first album of all original songs, “Reimei.”
