Japanese chika idol group Alcute! is stepping boldly into its second chapter by announcing the addition of four new members ahead of their upcoming debut on 24 April 2025.
The group welcomed Ran (red), Yui (pink), Rom (blue), and Aine (green), marking a fresh start for the unit following the graduation of several founding members earlier this month.
Their first appearance as the new lineup will be at clubasia, a popular Tokyo livehouse, setting the stage for what fans hope will be a thrilling new era.
Known for their concept of combining "adult" aesthetics with "cute" idol charm, Alcute! was originally introduced to the scene in July 2023 and debuted later that same month with the catchy and cheeky track "Otona Geki Kawaii".
These four new members are more than just fresh faces—they bring their own unique colours and flair to the unit:
 |
-
Ran (❤️Red) from Aichi, brings a bold, romantic energy and introduces herself with the phrase “No.1☆ Only one♡ Yes! Fall in Ran!”. A self-proclaimed legend from Nagoya, Ran aims to deliver true love through idol performance.
-
Yui (🩷Pink) from Tokyo, calls herself Alcute!’s princess. Her soothing presence and soft charm are expected to add a healing and slightly sexy touch to the group’s appeal.
-
Rom (💙Blue), also from Tokyo, is catching attention for her unique anime-like voice. Her motto, “Let’s doze off together”, hints at a dreamy and imaginative presence sure to stand out on stage.
-
Aine (💚Green), hailing from Ibaraki, is already being praised for her powerful vocals. With her tagline “Aine loves you, okay?♡”, she’s positioned as a vocal powerhouse ready to lead the new system.
These four will join current members Roa (white), Toy (yellow), and Azu (orange), completing a seven-member lineup.
The announcement follows a turbulent start to the year, including the recent graduation of Mayupi, Hachino, Kirame, and Nacha, who helped define the group’s early identity.
Alcute! is part of the Cinderella's Dog Project, a collective that also includes groups like Cinderella Sengen!, Schrödinger no Inu, and Lateral Arc.
Their shared goal is to reinvent the idol world from the underground up—with Alcute! serving as the grown-up but sweet face of the movement.
The upcoming live show on 24 April promises to be more than a debut—it’s the rebirth of Alcute!.
With a mix of new voices and seasoned members, fans can expect an electrifying blend of fresh energy, strong vocals, and that signature "adult-cute" charm.
Keep your eyes on their official X/Twitter accounts for updates and personal posts from each member as the debut day approaches.
The group’s bold transformation hints at a strong push forward, and with their new colour-coded charm, Alcute! might just be your next idol obsession.
