RK Music is a music label managing virtual artists, with its KMNZ unit hosting live events and preparing a graduation for virtual singer Cil. Cil's activities end August 31, 2026, following a health-related suspension.
RK Music manages a roster of virtual artists and units, and the recent stories show a label balancing live event momentum with an individual artist's quiet exit. The most recent news is the graduation of virtual singer Cil, announced August 28, 2026, effective August 31. The decision came by mutual agreement after repeated discussions, and her health was the stated priority: Cil had suspended activities in December 2025 due to adjustment disorder. No graduation stream is planned, and while existing videos stay public, streaming archives go private and memberships end. Her X account will stop updates.
In contrast to that low-key farewell, RK Music's flagship unit KMNZ continues to build its live presence. KMNZ announced KMNPARTY vol.8, scheduled for September 13 at Shibuya WOMB. The lineup includes virtual singer RIM from KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO and RK Music unit NUROJUNK, plus DJs and rappers, continuing a series of mixed-genre shows.
RK Music also collaborates across agencies. Alongside KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO, RK Music participates in VSinger UTAMATSURI, an online karaoke battle series that will hold its first physical live event on August 22 at Toyosu PIT. Singers from both labels will compete in a 5-on-5 karaoke match with AI scoring. The roster includes HACHI, KMNZ, VESPERBELL, Rime, and Harusarubi, with comedian duo Nishikigoi as MCs. These events show RK Music active in both its own events and cross-label productions even as it handles the departure of one artist.
