Beloved VTuber Cover of 'Kiniro Graffiti' Returns, Igniting Fan Joy

A cover video of 'Kiniro Graffiti' by popular VTubers Fuwa Minato and Kagami Hayato, which had been a hot topic in the VTuber community, has now been re-released, flooding social media with joyful shouts from fans.

'Kiniro Graffiti,' one of ROTTENGRAFFTY's signature songs, was previously covered by Fuwa Minato and Kagami Hayato, and was deeply loved by many listeners. Their performance, in particular, was memorable, even being showcased at Kagami Hayato's 3D debut, but it had been temporarily set to private. Many fans had eagerly awaited its return.

As soon as news of the re-release broke, X (formerly Twitter) was flooded with posts of gratitude and joy like 'Thank you! I've been waiting for so long!', 'Seriously, thank you for re-releasing it,' and 'Our Kiniro Graffiti is back! 🥺,' causing 'Kiniro Graffiti' to trend. Fans expressed their regret at not being able to listen during the private period, wholeheartedly welcoming the re-release with comments like 'I was sad I couldn't listen, so I'm genuinely, genuinely happy it's public again.'

Fans are praising the harmony created by Fuwa Minato (Fuwacchi) and Kagami Hayato (Shachou/Shacho), their individual shouts that shine through, and their performance that maximized the energy of the original song. Numerous enthusiastic messages were posted, such as 'I infinitely love Fuwacchi and Shachou's singing,' 'Fuwa-san saying 'When I'm with Shachou (singing), I can be innocent' - amazing!!!', and 'While I preferred Kagami-san's voice, Fuwa-san's clean shout was also excellent!'

Furthermore, positive opinions are seen regarding the increased opportunity for people to discover ROTTENGRAFFTY's original songs through this cover, with comments like 'Personally, I like it, and I'm happy that more people can learn about Rotten's songs.' ROTTENGRAFFTY itself has also been gaining attention through things like Akira Fujita's entrance theme song and the Hazimaza live streams, suggesting a synergistic effect between the band and VTuber culture.

The revival of this temporary-gone iconic cover is truly welcome news for fans, making them want to say 'Welcome back!' Why not take this opportunity to enjoy Fuwa Minato and Kagami Hayato's 'Kiniro Graffiti' cover, as well as ROTTENGRAFFTY's original songs, once again?

The context

For readers unfamiliar with the terms in this article:

  • VTubers: Virtual YouTubers are online entertainers who use digital avatars generated by computer graphics and motion capture technology. They often stream live content, perform music, or engage with audiences, much like traditional YouTubers, but as virtual characters.
  • Fuwa Minato and Kagami Hayato: These are popular male VTubers affiliated with NIJISANJI, one of Japan's largest VTuber agencies. Both are known for their engaging personalities, musical talents, and frequent collaborations.
  • ROTTENGRAFFTY: A well-known Japanese rock/metal band hailing from Kyoto, famous for their energetic live performances and unique blend of genres. 'Kiniro Graffiti' ('Golden Graffiti') is one of their representative songs.
  • Cover Video Re-release: The significance of this event stems from the fact that a beloved musical collaboration between two popular VTubers, which had been temporarily made private (unavailable to view), has now been restored. This is a common occurrence in online content creation, where videos might be temporarily hidden for various reasons (e.g., copyright checks, production adjustments), leading to anticipation and excitement when they return.
