Sanrio’s beloved character Kuromi is stepping into the music world with her official artist debut as KUROMI. The announcement comes alongside news of her first major release, the EP KUROMI IN MY HEAD, set for release on Wednesday, October 22 via TOY’S FACTORY.
Known for inspiring fans to embrace their best selves through campaigns like “#GlobalKuromiProject,” KUROMI aims to amplify this empowering message through music. The EP features five new tracks crafted with the help of notable collaborators including Shuichi Manabe, Daoko & Hidetomi Kenmochi, Kairiki Bear, Satomi Shigemori, and lilbesh ramko.
To celebrate the debut, KUROMI will embark on a release tour where she will appear as a 3D-look artist, performing live on stage with dynamic movements. Further details about the tour will be shared via KUROMI’s official staff X account.
Fans can also look forward to a behind-the-scenes making-of video series chronicling KUROMI’s path to her major debut, which will be released in installments on her official TikTok account.
