BODY: Kuzuha, the chainsaw-wielding vampire who became Nijisanji's most-watched male liver, is gearing up for his second solo musical strike. On May 25, 2026, ANYCOLOR pulled back the curtain on "Adamantite," revealing product details and a sprawling lineup of store-exclusive perks ahead of the July 29 release.
The mini album arrives in three flavors: a standard edition for casual fans, plus Limited Editions A and B targeting the deep-pocketed faithful. Each tier bundles a different combination of physical extras, a familiar tactic in Japan's CD market where collectible packaging often outsells the music itself.
Retailer-specific bonuses span the major Japanese chains — Animate, Gamers, Tower Records, HMV, Amazon Japan, and Sony Music Shop typically lead these rollouts, each offering unique bromides, jacket cards, or acrylic novelties to drive multi-store purchases. ANYCOLOR's announcement lays out which bonus belongs to which retailer, so superfans can map their pre-order strategy before stocks evaporate.
"Adamantite" follows Kuzuha's debut mini album and his repeated chart-topping singles, cementing his rare crossover from streaming dominance into mainstream Oricon territory. With his fanbase spanning gaming, anime, and J-rock crowds, the release is expected to move serious numbers in its first week.
The insider take
In Tokyo, the "store-bonus economy" is the engine that turns VTuber albums into cultural events. Walk through Akihabara's Animate or Shinjuku's Tower Records the week of release, and you'll see fans buying the same CD three or four times — one per retailer — just to complete the bromide set. Resale prices on Mercari for sealed bonuses can hit triple the CD's retail tag within days. For Kuzuha, whose Nijisanji fanbase skews younger and intensely loyal, "Adamantite" isn't just an album drop — it's a coordinated retail spectacle that ANYCOLOR has clearly engineered down to the last acrylic stand.
