Kumo Anya, a Re:AcT-affiliated VTuber, released the new EP Kumori no Ashiato on August 30, 2026, on streaming sites. The EP is the second of four weekly releases leading up to the live event Re:AcT LIVE BRIGHT NOTES on September 20. It includes two original songs and two covers.
The EP carries four tracks: two originals and two covers. Nei wrote, composed, and arranged the opening song Tenkiame, describing it as a story-driven piece built around contradictory emotions. Uzen Hoso handled the second original, Harekira Nai Sora ni, an anime-song rock number about youthful restlessness and summer scenery. The covers are Seeker and 5-gatsu no Sei ni Shite. Kazumi Kino drew the jacket illustration and esu_kichi handled the design.
Kumo Anya framed the release as youth emo, saying the songs are meant to push a listener forward gently rather than slap them on the back. The BRIGHT NOTES live event takes place at GRIT Shibuya on September 20, with Kumo Anya appearing in the first performance. Tickets have been on sale since July 25.
