Overview

VALIS is a five-member virtual girls group under SINSEKAI RECORD, consisting of CHINO, MYU, NEFFY, RARA, and VITTE. Built around the concept of traveling between virtual and real worlds, the group distinguishes itself through a dual-format approach: members perform in both avatar form and their “origin” real-person form, creating a layered identity that bridges the two realms.

Character visuals were designed by illustrator Nekosuke, blending a distinctly feminine aesthetic with futuristic sensibilities. As one of the more prominent groups within the SINSEKAI RECORD framework, VALIS maintains a high level of activity across both recorded music and live performance, regularly hosting dedicated ONE-MAN LIVE events.

Role and Creative Position

The defining element of VALIS is its commitment to duality between the virtual and the real. The five members shift between different performance modes, presenting both the expressive possibilities of avatar-based stage work and the more immediate connection of their real-world “origin” identities. This two-track structure gives VALIS a distinct position within the broader KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO ecosystem.

Musically, VALIS blends a pop-sensibility rooted in the idol and girls-group tradition with more aggressive and psychologically charged expression. Lyrics frequently explore themes of romance, inner psychology, and fairy-tale deconstruction, producing a style that is at once sweet and marked by underlying tension.

The group’s central concept of duality also gives it a particular narrative function within the broader SINSEKAI RECORD storytelling framework.
