2.5D Idol Group 'Sutapola' Celebrates 5th Anniversary! Weaving the 'Next Story' with Their First Live Acoustic Performance

VOISING (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Naiko, hereinafter VOISING) affiliated 2.5D idol group "Sutapola" celebrated their 5th anniversary on April 2, 2026. On the same day, they held an anniversary stream, challenging their first-ever "live acoustic performance" in the group's history. Furthermore, with this broadcast, member Relu reached a milestone in their activities, marking a turning point for the group of five. Then, on the April 4, 2026 stream, they revealed the first visuals under the new system, announcing a new start with Coe., Kuni, Kottaro, and Kisaragi Yu.

■ Challenging the milestone of their 5th Anniversary with their "First Live Acoustic Performance": An attempt to deliver "Sutapola's Music Today" directly to fans.

On the April 2nd anniversary stream, driven by the members' desire to "deliver gratitude to fans through the best music we can make at this milestone we're celebrating as five," the group held their first-ever "live acoustic performance." The production began with a video montage of messages from fans, reflecting on their activities and journey with fans so far. They performed "First Star," "Blessing (cover)," "SPIRIT," "Chiisana Koi no Uta (cover)," "Hanataba no You na Mainichi wo" (A Daily Life Like a Bouquet), and "SOAR," all with acoustic arrangements, creating a narrative content that connected their origin to the present. In the middle of the live performance, letters were read aloud from the four members to Relu, and from Relu to the other four, making it a warm yet powerful time befitting the 5th-anniversary milestone.

■ Announcing Their Last Original Song as Five, "Seisai no Serenade"! A Message Connecting Departure to the "Next Story".

The anniversary song announced to commemorate the 5th anniversary is the last original song produced by the five members, "Seisai no Serenade" (Starlight Serenade). Member Relu was in charge of the composition, with the sentiment of "I want it to be a song that provides support even when listened to later." The core of the song is the phrase "An endless song." This symbolizes the message that as long as you keep listening, the song will live on, and the feelings will never end. Furthermore, fitting for a group whose concept is "stars," they used motifs of the night sky and stars to express a positive worldview: "The night is by no means frightening, but full of radiance." The song depicts farewell not as sadness, but as "a step towards the next story."

Additionally, the "ribbon" motif appearing in the MV is impressive, symbolizing "continuation of feelings" and "baton" by appearing continuously across different scenes. By stating "I want to believe I am happy" rather than "I am happy," it becomes a song that allows for shared emotions, leaving no one behind.

Incidentally, with this broadcast, member Relu has reached a milestone in their activities with the group. On the occasion of their 5th anniversary, a message of gratitude from Relu to the group and fans has been received.

"Looking back at the 5 years leading up to this 5th anniversary, I don't think I'll ever forget it. It's been 5 years where I've gained so much in my life. Thank you so much for loving Sutapola and Relu! I will continue to support the group Sutapola, which I cherished and which we all cherished together, as its number one fan!"

■ Restarting with a New System, Key Visual Revealed! Theme: "Diversity."

Sutapola has taken a new step forward after reaching the significant milestone of their 5th anniversary. Inheriting the stories and feelings woven so far, their newly depicted "next story" begins here. On the April 4th stream, the first key visual for the new system was unveiled. The concept is "Diversity."

While based on Sutapola's signature pop and cute worldview, the design accentuates each member's individuality. For example, Kottaro, whose charm lies in his coolness, is dressed in a black-based outfit, creating a visual that respects each member's "likes" and "individuality" rather than a uniform "cute" for everyone.

The April 4th stream was also the first live broadcast with the new system, symbolizing the dawn of a new chapter. Please continue to pay attention to their challenges as they evolve in music, visuals, and all forms of expression.

Coe.

"Thank you so much for all your love for our 5th anniversary!!! This 5th year has been a milestone, and I've rushed forward with the feeling of wanting to give back to you in music, live performances, and all our activities, but I feel like I've received too much happiness back from you. The 6th year will be a year of change, and I imagine there will be many hurdles, but I'd be happy if you would believe in us and watch over us. I love you!!"

Kuni

"Sutapola's 5th anniversary! Thank you so much for your support! For these past 5 years, we've had a whirlwind of daily life with various challenges and live shows, but it's precisely because you've supported us wholeheartedly that every moment has become a precious time and memory for me! The 6th year will be a start in a new form. I'm not without anxiety, but I will continue to show you my growth towards our dreams, and I promise to make you even happier, so please stay by my side, okay?"

Kisaragi Yu

"We've reached our 5th anniversary, and a new year has begun. Starting this year, 'Sutapola' will be under a new system and walk forward in a new form. We believe this is not the end of the story, but a new beginning. As we enter our 6th year, I am also starting new challenges and will strive every day to be able to proudly tell my past self from 6 years ago, 'I've grown. My efforts up to now were not in vain!' Please continue to support 'Sutapola'!!"

Kottaro

"I'm filled with so much gratitude for your support over these 5 years. I am Kottaro, encompassing the me who seriously faces singing, the me who goes all out to make everyone smile, and the me who supports from behind the scenes. I still have a mountain of things I want to do and things I should do, but that makes me all the more excited. We will continue to run forward unchanged in our 6th year, so please continue to support us!"
