Virtual singer Hanafu collaborates with apparel brand “ICECREAM” founded by Pharrell Williams!
*4 types of original goods released*
KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO／PHENOMENON
It has been decided that RECORD’s virtual singer Hanafu will be releasing collaboration items with the apparel brand “ICECREAM” founded by Pharrell Williams.
* ■Special collaboration born from Hanafu’s “ice cream lover”*
While working as a virtual singer, Hanafu has often cited ice cream as a key item as “her favorite thing.” The cover live series, which is a collection of favorite songs, is called “Ice Cream Live,” and it is often used as a motif in the design of artist goods and penlights for individual live performances. This summer, we have been featuring ice cream as a special item that cannot be separated from others, such as selling ice cream at a pop-up shop.
This time, taking advantage of Kafu’s past activities, a special collaboration with the apparel brand “ICECREAM” founded by Pharrell Williams has been realized. We have decided to sell original goods.
The items on sale this time are “T-shirts”, “caps”, “socks”, and “talismans”, all with a street-style design filled with the playful spirit typical of ICECREAM. There is a wide range of goods unique to this collaboration, with designs that graphically incorporate “ice cream”, including illustrations of flower records with melted ice cream as a motif.
ICECREAM’s statement, “Wealth is not in your pocket, but in your heart and intellect,” is connected to the worldview that Hanfu has conveyed through music, and is a common mindset of both artists and brands. This is a collaboration that gives you a sense of depth.
Various goods will be available at the live concert “Kafu/Rime” that will be held on Saturday, September 14th, featuring Hanafus. Advance sales will be held at “Vol.3”. Then, from 12:00 noon on Thursday, September 19th to 13:00 on Monday, October 7th, FINDME STORE by

* ■Kafu artist profile*
A virtual singer who started “KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO”.
She made her debut in 2018 at the age of 14 and began her career using a 3D modeled avatar without revealing her true face. Even in a field where diverse expressions continue to emerge, we will establish an image of an artist with a unique singing voice and worldview.
Various collaborations in the collaboration project “Suite” have become a hot topic, and the total number of views on YouTube currently exceeds 200 million, and they have an enthusiastic fan community both in Japan and abroad.
The songs he created with Iori Kanzaki, who has been his main composer since the beginning of his career, received high acclaim, and in August 2022, he successfully held a one-man live performance at Nippon Budokan called “Bakukakusan (Kyo)”.
The 4th ONE-MAN, which can be said to be the beginning of the second chapter, will be held at Yoyogi Daiichi Gymnasium in January 2024. LIVE “Kaika” held. Following the Budokan performance, the group successfully held their first arena performance, which was the largest solo virtual singer performance ever.
We are striving to transcend the boundaries between virtual and real as a standard for the next generation of artist activities.
