WHAT WE ARE
STATEMENT
KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO is a creative label that produces cutting-edge internet culture with the next generation of creators,
as well as a new-age artist management with virtual singers at its core.
Through collaborations with various creators and artists,
we want to “co-create” works together with everyone who experiences them.
We are challenging ourselves to create new expressions, live shows, and artworks,
and to evolve the musical experience itself.
Moreover, we're not only about music, but also the stories that derive from music.
We want to build a new place of belonging for people far away through creativity brimming with love.
And if possible, we want to create hope for lonely boys and girls out there.
We continue to search for a form of communication that transcends all barriers to achieve this.
From music to stories.
Entertainment has always been a source of sustenance for people's lives in the currents of time.
In this day and age, music and stories are indispensable for life.
Since its launch in 2019, KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO has continued to research and develop the future of IP and entertainment
through artist development and the creation of future live experiences.
MUSIC, ART, STORY, EXPERIENCE.
Changing the world just a little bit with music and stories.
We create bold new possibilities beyond the boundaries of the virtual and the real.
