Biography

[edit]

Kanaria was born on 30 May 2002.[1] On 10 May 2020, twenty days before their eighteenth birthday, they made their career debut with their Hatsune Miku song "Hyakkisai", which Eimika Katsuya characterizes as having "a rhythmic wa melody like a Bon Odori dance" and lyrics as "mysterious, code-like [and a] Japanese-style song that will send shivers down your spine".[2]

Kanaria rose to popularity with their next song "King", released on 10 August 2020.[2] On 9 December 2020, their album King was released.[3] On 7 May 2021, Kanaria appeared on Music Station as “the next big thing”.[4]

In September 2022, Kanaria released a greatest hits album named "Kanaria.code".[5] In November 2022, they released "Dainōteki-na Rendezvous [ja]", the ending theme for the Chainsaw Man episode "Kill Denji"; it was the first time they sang themself rather than use a voice bank.[6] In February 2023, their song "Yoidore Shirazu" topped Billboard Japan's Top User Generated Songs chart.[7]

In April 2023, Kanaria released "Requiem", a collaboration song with Hololive VTuber Hoshimachi Suisei.[8] In July 2024, they were the songwriter for "Champion", the last song for Pokémon and Hatsune Miku's Project Voltage collaboration.[9]
