With OKAME
🌐 English · 日本語でこのページを読む →
MANA and KANA's band after CHAI, and not a second CHAI. Luke mixed the singles and the album DEBUT, out February 4, 2026, and the July 2026 single 言いわけきかせて.
CHAI played their last show in Tokyo on March 12, 2024, at EX THEATER ROPPONGI. MANA and KANA left the stage. OKAME arrived in September 2025, then three singles in a row, Okashina Kimochi, Terenai de, and GAME OVER, then the album DEBUT on February 4, 2026. Their site is plain about the difference. This is not the old band, and it is not NEO KAWAII. They call the idea Revolution through Music: a quieter, more inward pop.
NiEW treats DEBUT as a new chapter, eight songs, and uses the band's word for it, Nostalpop. The documentary OK A ME REVOLUTION THROUGH MUSIC is about the time in between: burnout, illness, and picking the microphone back up.
Luke mixed the singles and the album, then 言いわけきかせて, out July 25, 2026, the theme for the TikTok short anime きょうもカクレチカクカ・ビン. Before any of the OKAME singles, in August 2025, he produced WE CAN'T DOLL for KOMAGOME, with MANA and KANA, and in February 2026 he co-produced, mixed, and played on CHAHHAN.
