Blackbox Inc. announced that Quinte, a 2.5D idol VTuber group belonging to Lovvebox, an idol VTuber production built around the concept of “idols you can meet,” will host the major YouTube singing relay event “Aoharu Singing Relay: Restart With You” from 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 17, 2026. This will be the second singing relay hosted by Quinte, following “Singing Relay That Plays Dreams,” held on January 25, 2026. The event will feature seven guest VTubers from beyond the boundaries of Quinte’s own agency, joining Quinte’s three members for a total of 10 performers. Under the theme “a song that makes ordinary everyday life feel precious,” the participants will pass the baton through music. The excitement generated by the relay will lead into Quinte’s solo mini live show “Quinte Mini Live ~Secret Chapter~,” scheduled for Saturday, June 6 at Tsukiji BLUE MOOD. “Aoharu Singing Relay: Restart With You” uses the keywords “youth,” “restart,” “daily life,” and “reunion.” Each performer will select a song that gives listeners the strength to try again from tomorrow, relaying the sound of youth. The participating talents were chosen through an open call held from April 23 to 30, 2026, as well as invitations from the organizers. Seven guest acts will perform in relay format alongside Quinte’s three members. The event will take place on Sunday, May 17, 2026, from 16:00 to 22:00, for a total of six hours. It will stream on the YouTube channels of each participating VTuber, with sequential viewing available through the official playlist.
