Kimini Hane Releases Debut Mini Album 'Tears Love Letter'

Kimini Hane has officially released their debut mini album 'Tears Love Letter,' marking a major milestone for the rising Japanese idol group. The project arrived on July 7 through rock field records and compiles five tracks that capture the group's evolution since their 2023 debut.

The mini album includes fan-favorite tracks like the title song 'Tears Love Letter' and 'Sorry for Falling in Love,' alongside live staples such as 'Magic Pouch,' 'Love's Illness,' and 'Drama.' Every song was written and composed by MASA☆, the vocalist of rock band Dear Loving, who brings three decades of musical experience to the project.

Kimini Hane's concept centers on "growing wings in your heart," and the group has built a dedicated fanbase through distinctive performances—most notably handing out love letters to audience members during shows. In just three years since debuting, the group has already completed six sold-out solo concerts while appearing at major idol festivals and events despite their newcomer status.

The group's members expressed their excitement about the release. "This album is filled with the feelings we've carried over two years in Kimini Hane," said member 愛乃音. "We hope this CD becomes the day someone discovers us for the first time." Member しらたまちゃん。 added, "We've been hoping for this CD release for three years—I want as many people as possible to hold it in their hands."

The album release comes ahead of a busy period for the group. They're scheduled to perform a 3rd anniversary special concert on May 29 at Tokyo's 五反田BLAZE, followed by another solo live on September 14 at WWW in Tokyo.

For casual listeners unfamiliar with Kimini Hane, this mini album offers an accessible entry point to the group's energetic brand of idol pop and their growing catalog of original material.
