Virtual YouTuber (VTuber) and singer Mori Calliope takes the next step in her career by signing with the major record label Universal Music Japan (UMJ). The same family of labels that previously housed worldwide stars like Kenshi Yonezu, MIYAVI, Utada Hikaru, and even D’espairsRay.
With the leap to a major record label, the bilingual Mori Calliope has released her major debut digital single CapSule on April 4, a song composed by the respectable Vocaloid producer DECO*27, and a vocal collaboration with the popular VTuber Hoshimachi Suisei. The lyrics were co-written by Mori Calliope and DECO*27, and the music arranged by Naoki Itai.
The single allows both vocalists to express their savage attitudes in Japanese and English—something that Mori Calliope (or “Calli” for short) is especially known for.
It was only last month on March 21 that Calli released her first full album UnAlive. However, in conjunction with the label change, we can already expect the first major EP SHINIGAMI NOTE to hit stores on July 20—released under UMJ. CapSule will be part of the EP as one out of the six tracks included.
It was also previously announced that Calli is preparing for a major debut solo concert New Underworld Order which we now know is scheduled for July 21, 2022, at Toyosu PIT.
About Mori Calliope
Mori Calliope is a VTuber who is a part of “hololive English”, a management company under hololive production.
The Grim Reaper’s first apprentice. Due to modern medical care causing a decline in the reaping business, Calliope decided to become a VTuber to harvest souls instead. It seems that the ascended souls of the people who are vaporized by the wholesome interactions between VTubers go to her as well. That being said, despite the image her hardcore vocals and manner of speech gives off, she’s actually a gentle-hearted girl who cares greatly for her friends.
