#FLOW GLOW Is hololive DEV_IS’ New Unit

Over a year after the introduction of hololive DEV_IS and the ReGLOSS unit, COVER Corp. has announced the branch’s second unit: FLOW GLOW. A debut PV with unit direction by Yuzuru Yoshizaki (Goddess of Victory: Nikke “Miracle Snow” special video director) was also released.

FLOW GLOW will be another “VTuber musical artist group” (ReGLOSS was described as a “group of music artist VTubers”), and the unit description says that “Although their skills are unpolished and their trust in each other is incomplete, they acknowledge each other’s traits.”

FLOW GLOW’s five members — Isaki Riona, Koganei Niko, Mizumiya Su, Rindo Chihaya, and Kikirara Vivi — will make their debut on November 9. The respective times for their debut streams are (in PST) 3 AM, 3:30 AM, 4 AM, 4:30 AM, and 5 AM. A cover song will premiere at 5:30 AM.

Before all this, their debut song, “FG ROADSTER,” will premiere on November 8 at 2 AM PST. The VTubers will later have their unit debut livestream on November 10 at 3 AM PST.

Below are the official member profiles and channel/account links:

• Isaki Riona (illustrated by Shirabi); YouTube, X

The leader of FLOW GLOW.
Extremely stoic and hates losing with a passion.
She puts on a poker face so as not to be looked down upon, but her heart melts when she sees little animals and spoils them rotten.
As a vivid fan of Shonen manga, she can be quite the passionate figure contrary to her cool-headed facade.

• Koganei Niko (illustrated by Tetsukazu); YouTube, X

The jokester of FLOW GLOW.
With a strong passion, she’s willing to give even her life to see people smile.
Bulldozing her way through? Breaking out of character? That’s all G if it ends with laughter.
Weak against animals and mornings, her every day starts by getting out of bed with a fuzzy head and hair as she prepares breakfast for her cat.

• Mizumiya Su (illustrated by Bukurote); YouTube, X

The publicity manager of FLOW GLOW.
Determined to gain love and praise, she posts regularly on social media with her mouth full of delicacies.

Just when she wished the world was a less daunting place, fate led her to the friends she has now. Guess not all hope is lost, is it?

Thank you gods. Now, while you’re at it, please make her a little bit taller.

• Rindo Chihaya (illustrated by toridamono); YouTube, X

The DJ of FLOW GLOW.
A self-proclaimed driver with 300 horsepower, nobody can put a break on her when she talks and sings.
Though still a newbie at DJ-ing, her earnestness, combined with the curiosity that she inherited from her brother, will make her a full-fledged DJ in no time.
The thing most important to her right now is going for a spin with her buddies in her beloved car.

• Kikirara Vivi (illustrated by nonco); YouTube, X

The makeup artist of FLOW GLOW.
A seeker of true beauty, always on the lookout for that special item for that extra glow-up.
She’s not someone who hides expressions from her face; at times, frank words tinged with her dialect spill from her mouth.
Her natural enemy is exposure to direct sunlight. Being an indoor person is probably her secret to clear skin.

Shortly after FLOW GLOW’s debut, there will be a pop-up event in Harajuku (where the unit’s “hideout is located”) with limited-edition novelties and special events. It will run from November 13 to 17 JST at the HARAJYUKU HAKKAKUKAN Pop-up Space. FLOW GLOW’s unit livestream will reveal more details.

hololive DEV_IS is one of the branches that fall under the hololive umbrella. Cover Corp. CEO Motoaki “YAGOO” Tanigo explained to Anime Trending that it “is not a group focused solely on music, but rather a group that aims to explore new frontiers. We hope fans will support their journey as they take on these new challenges.”
