Kafu’s Alternate Persona Kaika to Hold First Livestream Concert on YouTube
Kaika’s first-ever livestream concert, titled Kaika Transmission Mini Live “Umaremakara Kimi wo Shitteru”, will take place on January 25th (Saturday).
Kaika, who debuted as a virtual singer-songwriter in January 2024, is the alternate persona of Kafu, the virtual singer who successfully held a solo live at Nippon Budokan. Kaika exclusively performs original songs she has written herself, expressing her personal emotions such as the initial impulses she felt in her childhood and the feelings of growing up as a young adult in Tokyo. These themes are conveyed in her own words, giving the performance a very personal touch.
The livestream, titled Transmission, which means sending, transmission, or communication, will be available for free on Kaika’s YouTube channel at 8:00 PM. The event is described as an “unprecedented challenge” using a new technology different from past KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO live performances. The title Umaremakara Kimi wo Shitteru reflects Kaika’s thoughts on “being true to oneself,” even as her visible persona changes. A message from Kaika about the event has also been shared.
A livestream concert will be held 📨🪺 It’s my very first solo live as Kaika! I’ve been really looking forward to reuniting with all of you, and I hope there will be new encounters as well 𓆩✧𓆪 From a special place, I’ll be sending my songs to all of you… Please come join me 📶
