About V.W.P
V.W.P is a virtual artist group composed of the five cyber witches: Kahoh, Rime, Haruensai, Yosekinō, and Kōraku, belonging to KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO.
Welcoming Kanzaki Iori as the main composer, they have released a series of songs that follow the lineage of their representative song “Witch” sung by Kahoh, with the music videos released on YouTube all recording millions of views.
In April 2022, they held a two-day live event, “Witch Gathering” and “Phenomenon,” at the Toyosu Pit.
At “Phenomenon,” their first one-man live, in addition to the “lineage songs” composed by Kanzaki Iori, they also performed a series of “derivative songs” where they formed pairs and switched partners within the group.
The live event fully showcased the charm of V.W.P, with their overwhelming vocal abilities, stunning visuals created with the cooperation of numerous creators, and the rich sound of a big band.
On August 21, 2023, they released their 1st ALBUM “Fate.”
