New generation virtual unit "EIGHT OF TRIANGLE" (EIGHT OF TRIANGLE), shocking member suspensions and new members!

The new generation virtual unit "EIGHT OF TRIANGLE," a.k.a. "EITRA," affiliated with Toei Corporation, has announced the suspension of its members and the addition of new members.

The new generation virtual unit "EIGHT OF TRIANGLE," a.k.a. "EITRA," is a male virtual unit that has been active since October 8, 2015 (Toei's Day), belonging to Toei Co.
This virtual unit, consisting of vocalist Ray/Zero Kimishima and keyboardist Kazuto/Endo, uses Twitter, talks on radio shows, and sings songs they have written themselves, just like real artists. In live performances, they perform in real time using a state-of-the-art motion capture system that actually traces their body movements on the spot, speaking directly to the audience and conversing with them. The overwhelming reality of the performance is centered on the fact that it is as if this human being really exists and is close to the audience.

Starting with their debut single "heart to erode" in 2015, they have released a total of 6 singles and 3 albums. In 2017, the group skipped Japan and successfully performed live in Hong Kong, bringing their attention to a global audience.
However, Ray took a hiatus in September of the same year due to throat problems. In place of Ray, a new vocalist, Neon Araga, has joined the group to make a fresh start, and a visual of Neon has been unveiled!

The new vocalist, Neon/Araga, will be joining the band for a fresh start, and the visuals have been unveiled!
Neon's participation in the recording of the third album in New York was the catalyst for the decision to add a new member, a rarity in the virtual idol world. The male virtual unit "Eitra" has made a shocking new start, and we can't take our eyes off them!


On Sunday, October 8, exactly two years after their debut, "Eitra's Birthday 2017," an event commemorating the second anniversary of "Eitra," will be held at the event space "BOOKS" in Akihabara, Tokyo!
In addition to the panel display, newly created Neon goods and Kazuto's new costume goods will be on sale, and visitors will receive Ray's personalized message card (limited quantity).

Visitors will also receive a limited number of Ray's handwritten message cards. This is a chance to obtain a very rare item that will mark a turning point for "Eitra," available only here!

Japan's first male virtual unit, which is gaining momentum, will deliver "another real world. We hope you will <experience> the world created by "Eitra," which is more real than reality, with your eyes, ears, and skin.

New member Neon/Araga Shinon's profile and comments
■Profile
Born on February 27, 1997. Born in Kyoto. He is 175cm tall and weighs 65kg, and has always been the type of person who can handle anything, and can play all kinds of instruments. He is aloof and dynamic, and was shocked when he met Eitra through a New York music producer while he was studying music in New York. She loves heights, but she is not good at screaming machines. She is uncomfortable when her cell phone is out of range.

Comment
I am Shinon Araga, and I am excited to join EIGHT OF TRIANGLE, which was created by Ray and Kazuto and has been nurtured together with the fans, To be honest, with Ray's health condition, some of our fans may be wondering, "Is this guy going to be okay? I am very excited to be a part of "ATLA". However, I promise to face Eitra's music with a mind to put those worries aside. Please watch over us warmly. Finally, to Ray-kun, "I'll do my best, just get well soon and let's play music together again!"
