A New Era of Collaborative Music: Kannagi Tenri Joins “Re-ride” Project
On December 15, 2025, the highly anticipated track “discover / Kannagi Tenri feat. enogu & C.H.E.T.” will be digitally released. This song is the latest iteration of “discover,” a composition that originated from the “V Collection” initiative by C.H.E.T., an incubation organization dedicated to user-participatory creative formats. The track features popular VTuber Kannagi Tenri, renowned for her dynamic live performances, alongside VR idol group enogu and the collaborative force of C.H.E.T.
This release utilizes the “Re-ride” method, a unique baton-style production technique pioneered by C.H.E.T. In this innovative approach, a core artist performs the main vocal part, while other artists and creators are invited to freely contribute to the remaining sections, fostering a truly collaborative and future-forward musical experience. The track is available for streaming via the following link:

Kannagi Tenri: From YouTube Covers to National Tour Success
Kannagi Tenri, who debuted in April 2023, has rapidly risen to prominence in the VTuber scene. Her YouTube cover of Ado’s “New Genesis (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)” has surpassed 230,000 views, and DECO*27’s “Mousou Kanshou Daishou Renmei” has garnered over 830,000 views. In winter 2023, she lent her voice to “Chou Shinsei Shoujo,” the theme song for the Nintendo Switch game “Taiko no Tatsujin: Don Katsu Festival,” which was featured in national TV commercials.
Kannagi Tenri is also celebrated for her proactive 3D live performances, including successful outdoor street lives in Akihabara in December 2023 and April 2024 to celebrate her debut anniversary—a rare feat for a VTuber. Her national street live tour has taken her to Hokkaido, Sendai, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. In August 2025, she achieved 100,000 YouTube subscribers, and her first solo live concert, “New Town,” held at Daikanyama Space Odd, sold out, marking a significant milestone in her career. Her official website and social media channels provide further insights into her journey:
Expressing her enthusiasm for the collaboration, Kannagi Tenri remarked, “It’s truly an honor to participate in Re-ride! I have immense respect for enogu; I feel a shared desire to transcend the boundaries of VTubing and achieve broader success. The opportunity to create music with them is incredibly exciting! I want to pour all my energy into delivering the music I want to share.”

The Vision of enogu and C.H.E.T.
“discover” was initially conceived as part of VR idol group enogu’s 7th-anniversary project, marking the launch of the “V Collection.” Enogu, formed in March 2018 with members Suzuki Anzu, Shirafuji Tamaki, and Hinata Nao, aspires to be the “world’s best VR idol” group, paving the way for future virtual stars. They have made history as the only virtual talent to perform at the world’s largest female idol festival, “TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL,” from 2019 to 2024, notably securing 3rd place in the 2023 Idol General Election.
After becoming independent and establishing “enogu LLC” in January 2024, they continue to produce their own work and events like “VRide!”, striving to bridge the gap between real and virtual entertainment. Their official channels are:
C.H.E.T., or “Creativity Hacks Every Thing,” is an Artist Organization and multiverse unit focused on providing a platform for aspiring artists to express themselves and develop new creative formats. The “V Collection” is C.H.E.T.’s initiative to cultivate new virtual artists, including VTubers, V-Livers, Vocaloid producers, and net creators, offering them opportunities based on their talent.
These collaborations signify a burgeoning trend in Kawaii culture, where virtual artists and innovative platforms are democratizing music creation. This forward-looking approach, exemplified by the “Re-ride” project, not only expands the horizons of virtual entertainment but also fosters a global community of creators, ensuring that the vibrant spirit of Kawaii culture continues to inspire and evolve across borders.
