FouRTe Project Charms with New Single “Kimihana,” a “Prince Song” for a New Era
Virtual Idols Embrace Dreams and Hope in a Star-Studded Collaboration
Tokyo, Japan – The 7-member virtual idol group, FouRTe Project, has officially launched their new single, “Kimihana,” across various music streaming platforms on March 9, 2026. This captivating track, produced by none other than ☆Taku Takahashi of the iconic Japanese group m-flo, promises to sweep listeners into a world of “dreams,” “future,” and “hope,” reflecting the core essence of FouRTe Project.
“Kimihana” stands out as a quintessential “prince song,” a beloved genre in Japanese pop culture that evokes a sense of romantic idealism and gentle adoration. The song beautifully narrates the wonder of new encounters and the glimmer of hope they bring, leaving a warm, lingering impression long after the final note. It’s a testament to the group’s ability to blend virtual artistry with deeply human emotions.
A Symphony of Talent Behind the Scenes
Beyond ☆Taku Takahashi’s masterful production, “Kimihana” features lyrics penned by MEG.ME and arrangements co-created with Mitsunori Ikeda, resulting in a vibrant, sophisticated sound paired with an irresistibly catchy melody. The song’s romantic narrative is further amplified by seven newly drawn illustrations of the members, crafted by the creative production team at G.K. HOKUSAI. These visuals are meticulously designed to enhance the song’s storytelling and the unique appeal of each character.
Adding another layer of immersive artistry, a 3DCG music video for “Kimihana” is set to premiere on FouRTe Project’s official YouTube channel on March 14, 2026, at 7:00 PM (JST). The video highlights the group’s signature dance performances, brought to life through intricate choreography by dance creator suzuyaka. The routine, embodying the elegance of a prince, features graceful gestures reminiscent of presenting a bouquet and blossoming flowers, collectively known as the “bouquet dance.”
☆Taku Takahashi shared his thoughts on the creation:
“For this song, I wanted to create a ‘prince song’ that perfectly fits the world of FouRTe Project. We focused on the excitement of encounters and the theme of hope, crafting a catchy sound. I hope it becomes a song that brightens the spirits of those who listen to it.”
