"Knight" distribution sites list: https://lnk.to/karennaivory_knight

"Knight" is the title track of Karen na Ivory's major 3rd single, to be released on Wednesday, June 24th. It is a song depicted from the perspective of a fan who met and supports an idol.

The song expresses the straightforward feelings of a fan, like a "knight," who wishes to support their idol, thinking, "Even if I'm one in tens of thousands, I want to be on your side." This fan is drawn to "you" after a chance encounter on social media, experiencing highs and lows during moments of watching live performances and seconds of conversation at fan events.

Furthermore, the "Karen na Ivory National Tour 2026 Knight" will be held, kicking off with the Hiroshima performance on Saturday, May 2nd, and continuing with live shows in four cities nationwide.

◾️Comment from Karen na Ivory Leader Rio Nagao

Karen na Ivory's major 3rd single title track "Knight" has started distribution.

This song depicts the straightforward feeling of wanting to remain an ally, even if one is just one in tens of thousands.

When I first heard the song, my heart was warmed, wondering if our fans also harbor such feelings.

Please pay attention to the choreography, which is inspired by a "knight," and scenes that resemble a fan event on stage.

We will be holding release events and a nationwide tour, so we will do our best to introduce Karen na Ivory to new people during this period.

Karen na Ivory, be discovered by the world!

Karen na Ivory is a female idol group consisting of 11 members, selected from 3,167 applicants in the "TIF de Debut 2021 by TWIN PLANET" joint audition by the world's largest idol festival "TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL (TIF)" and TWIN PLANET, and members selected in the first new member audition for Karen na Ivory held from June 2024.

Sound-produced by the creator unit HoneyWorks, whose related videos have accumulated over 2.5 billion views. In addition to officially covering many popular HoneyWorks songs such as "Kinyoubi no Ohayou" and "Fansa," they have released numerous original songs, with total YouTube views exceeding 30 million.

One of their original songs, "Oshihen Nante Yurusanai!" was selected for TikTok's official "HOT SONGS IN JAPAN" (as of August 29, 2022). Over 24,000 videos using the song have been posted, including by famous idols and influencers.

They made their major debut with the major debut album "Shiro Ja Irarenai" from Nippon Crown on January 29, 2025. They are affiliated with TWIN PLANET.

The group name "Karen na Ivory" (meaning "Charming Ivory") was chosen with the wish for them to become "gentle, strong, and noble idols like elephants, who are known for their camaraderie." "Karen" (可憐) evokes a sense of cuteness and protectiveness, while "Ivory" (象牙) symbolizes elephants. It also carries the meaning of "ivory color," representing the ambiguous emotional hues of adolescence, between childhood and adulthood.
