TeddyLoid is the music director and producer for the Belle spin-off stage project PROJECT LAYRA, which includes the song 'Watashi wa LAYRA' and an immersive live show running October 10 to November 15, 2026, at MoN Takanawa. He also wrote, composed, arranged, and produced Tokino Sora's song 'KIRAMEKI MODE! feat. Hibiki Riona,' released August 5, 2026.
TeddyLoid's recent work centers on two music projects: the Belle spin-off stage production PROJECT LAYRA and a song for Hololive's Tokino Sora. Across four stories, the throughline is his role as a producer and composer whose credit spans the full production chain, rather than a single slot. On LAYRA, he is listed as producer and composer for the debut song 'Watashi wa LAYRA,' handling arrangement and writing lyrics and music with Ryota Saito. For Sora's 'KIRAMEKI MODE! feat. Hibiki Riona,' released August 5, he wrote, composed, arranged, and produced the track.
The LAYRA project itself changed shape as it was announced. The first story, on August 4, described an immersive live titled 'Animmersive Live: Belle' from October 10 to November 15, 2026, at MoN Takanawa in Minato-ku, Tokyo, with TeddyLoid as music director, and listed the production team including character designers Mika Pikazo and Nike Shimaguchi, plus a slate of directors. The August 15 story named the project as 'Belle - PROJECT LAYRA -' and introduced LAYRA as a singer moving between virtual and real worlds, with character design by Mika Pikazo and music by TeddyLoid. The September 16 story confirmed the song 'Watashi wa LAYRA' released digitally on Wednesday, September 16, with five singers sharing vocal duties: miwa, Natsumi Konomi, Konomi Suzuki, Maria Miki, and ASCA. The same run dates and venue carry across all three LAYRA stories.
Coverage of Sora's song, on September 2, stands apart from the Belle cluster but keeps TeddyLoid as the sole credited writer, composer, arranger, and producer. The guest appearance by Hibiki Riona is the video's other named element; the article describes Sora as Hololive's top talent in 2026 and Riona as the group's youngest member and public face. No story states a date for the LAYRA live beyond the October 10 to November 15 window, and none gives a release date for Sora's song other than August 5.
