Fami, the bassist of LOVEBITES with approximately 700,000 subscribers on YouTube, is set to release a new original EP titled "Hakoniwa."!! This marks the first release under the solo name in five years since the self-produced album "Graduation Album (Graduation Album)" (funded via crowdfunding while still in high school in 2021), and also the first release since joining LOVEBITES in 2022.

This EP fully embodies "Bassist Fami" in an authentic and personal way, blending stylish, fresh, and technical elements of J-ROCK and pop?core influences in the artist's musical background?alongside vocaloid-inspired sounds. The result is a vibrant yet slightly melancholic work, unfolding a versatile "Fami's World" reminiscent of opening a toy box filled with surprises.



For this release, Fami composed and wrote lyrics for three songs?"Hakoniwa Affordance," "Beginner Highway ?? Star)," and "Nostalgic Logic"?as well as composing a bass instrumental track. In addition, the EP includes "Slap Alien," a song specially written for this project by the hugely popular Vocaloid producer NayutalieN. Fami first gained widespread recognition when a bass cover video of NayutalieN's hit song "Alien Alien," uploaded during high school, garnered significant attention (with approximately 11.9 million views), helping establish the artist's reputation as a prominent "cover performer" on YouTube. This new collaboration was realized following a strong request from Fami.



"I'm truly honored to have been given the opportunity to express my musical world with the support of so many people. 'Hakoniwa Affordance, ' which also serves as the title track, is a song I wrote when I was in high school, so it holds a very special place in my heart. I would be really happy if people could listen to it closely.", says Fami.



All tracks were recorded with a band. Fami handles both bass and vocals. Drums are performed by Hideki Aoyama, known for his work supporting artists such as B'z, BABYMETAL, and JAM Project. Guitars are performed by Yoshihiko Haga, who has supported artists including aiko, Yuzu, and Shunsuke Kiyokiba. Additionally, Mao?who has also contributed as a composer/arranger for LOVEBITES?participated in the arrangement and programming of Fami's original compositions.



A deluxe three-disc edition will be released simultaneously, featuring a Blu-ray containing the complete footage of Fami's solo live show "Happy Birthday Live 2025," held on June 1, 2025?her birthday?along with a live CD of the same performance. In addition to all tracks from "Graduation Album," the release will also include cover songs such as NayutalieN's "Alien Alien," Sheena Ringo's "Tokyo" and "Marunouchi Sadistic," and Oisicle Melonpan's "Sugar Surf."
