Image via CHAI’s website Rock band CHAI announced on Thursday that they will split up after their upcoming tour in Japan. The band claims that this is so the members can continue their “self-love journey” and realize their “own personal vision”.
Members Mana, Kana, Yuuki and Yuna founded the band in 2012. CHAI is known for their term “neo kawaii” which refers to redefining cuteness, meaning everyone is cute. CHAI wishes to express this belief through their music. Each member will continue to represent and spread the vision of “neo kawaii”.
The band performed theme songs for the anime Bosanimal, Oshiete Hokusai!, Kedama no Gonjiro and Dinosaur Biyori, as well as the live-action Grappler performance Baki BL de wa Nai ka to 1-Nichi 30-Jikan 30- Nichi Kangaeta Otome no Kiroku series. They have collaborated with Gorillaz, Superorganism and Duran Duran, among others.
