KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO is an active creative label running virtual music units and live events, with recent activity spanning charity streams, overseas concerts, and new releases from its roster.
KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO has spent mid-2026 expanding its virtual singer operations across live events, charity work, and new music. The label's units and affiliated artists have been active on multiple fronts: Empty old City announced a new collaboration single with Dazbee, a winter 2026 EP, and a February 2027 one-man live at EX THEATER ROPPONGI. Kuusou, a unit pairing virtual singer CIEL with real artist Sooda, released its debut EP 'CYAN' in June and held its first solo virtual mini live later that month.
The label also moved into international territory. Kaf performed a 29-song set in Hong Kong in May with no streaming, and Isekai Joucho recreated her 2021 online debut concert at Zepp Haneda. In June, KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO joined the U.S.-organized VTuber Summer Slam 2026 charity event, with four affiliated artists raising 1 million yen for Gamers Outreach through a stream of Overcooked! 2.
Live appearances continued through July, including Tsumi Juubatsu's return to the GOLD DISC DJ event after an eight-month hiatus, and the first physical staging of the VSinger UTAMATSURI series at Toyosu PIT, where RK Music and KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO singers compete in a karaoke battle. The label's activity shows a consistent push into both domestic live venues and international charity and concert spaces.
