We’re returning -- with your help, for a single prince’s sake!

ABCD Project, short for ‘ A Birthday CD Project ‘ , is styled after KITC, the Japanese doujin group responsible for his main compilation CDs, AO. Last year, for KAITO's 10th birthday, we released our first free mini-album, consisting of songs A through D. At over 150 downloads, it was an unexpected success. This year, for his 11th birthday, we're expanding: 11 musicians, 11 artists, and 1 blue-haired prince, totalling 23 people, will make A Birthday CD For ( 4 ) Niisan ( 23 ) to be released between the 14th and the 17th of February 2017. And in order to make that happen, we are looking for you!

ABCD is in need of: - musicians / composers - artists - KAITO owner / tuners

[♕] If you’d like to apply as a team member this year, please click the above link!

Should you be in need of further information after reading the recruitment pages, please contact [email protected] or send us an ask here. Application runs from the 1st until the 23rd of October. We’ll contact selected members before the 31st. We look forward to hearing from you -- let's celebrate together, for niisan, to give him the birthday he deserves!

[abcd-project]

[ DOWNLOAD PAGE ]

Hello everyone! Our apologies for the wait, but it’s finally assembled: we proudly present the download for the full ABCD album!  This upload does not fully mark the end of our project yet, however. We’ll be running until the end of February, so please look forward to a few more promotions!

[abcd-project]

[ D ] ケイT ❤ 「keitai」

music: winter (ふゆき) @aisupurinsu​ art: tithen @csocscsirke​ vocals: KAITO V1

While it’s time for us to post our final song, it’s certainly not the time to say words of farewell yet. In fact, with ケイT ❤, winter has tried her best to send a “hello!” from KAITO to all his listeners. Using a catchy dance tune with lyrics coordinated to all elements incorporated in tithen’s art of glorious palette, V1 sincerely calls out to keep greeting one another and tie all hearts through voice, even if only electronic. 10 years is a long time, for a robot, but it becomes even longer when you fall upon deaf ears. Hopefully you’ll continue to be glad to hear him, even further up ahead in the future! 

[abcd-project]

[ C ] Anonymous ( jazz arrange )

music: heart★breaker lyrics: EmpathP vocals: KAITO V3 English

Our apologies for the delay on this post -- when we put it up on our Twitter, we were notified the playback was giving errors. We’ve looked into the matter, so hopefully it now works for all listeners! It’s no wonder Anonymous quickly became famous among KAITO fans through the touching story Empath had written him and his own suitability for ballads. While he is well-known for his skill with this genre, however, it is less common knowledge that he is, in basis, actually a jazz vocal -- and thus we went to look for a producer who could create him a song in a genre that difficult to master. Due to his enormous technical skill, it could only be heart★breaker who’d first come to mind, and with this arrange he proves, once again, to be worth the immediate thought. If you had not yet heard it through our Twitter, we hope you enjoy now!

[abcd-project]

[ B ] Dear

music: @artofvio art: @dot-nova vocals: KAITO V3 Soft/English

KAITO has not always been as beloved as we know him to be now. Reviving ghosts from the pasts that continue to haunt his name, such as the 500 sale failure, perhaps does not seem like it would provide with great material for a birthday song -- and yet this is exactly where vio manages to turn the tale. Dear is not only a song for KAITO: it is also one for you, to you, in order to not repeat what has been done but go towards a hopeful future of another 10 years, together.  KAITO and his master not the only successful collaboration showcased through this piece. Nova’s despondently atmospheric art and cleanly, skillfully created video seamlessly match up with vio’s music style ... and KAITO’s rapping. He’ll go that far to try make you lend him your ear, so please give him a listen, master dear! ...
