Official Chronova Interview Highlights
Growth Over Two Years
Kanan: I've learned to view things from a broader perspective. Initially, we were all individuals focusing on our personal performances, but I've realized the importance of our collective synergy. Now, I prioritize how we can shine together as a group.
Amayume Remu: Balancing work and idol activities was challenging, but I've adapted over these two years. Being part of Chronova has significantly improved my health due to increased physical activity, and I've also become more confident in performing live.
Shalro: I physically transformed while being part of Chronova. Before joining, I weighed around 120 kg, but now I'm about 65 kg. Joining the group motivated me to improve myself both physically and socially.
Defining Moments
Kanan: A memorable moment for me was during our anniversary when I realized that as a leader, I needed to sometimes guide the group through uncertainty, which changed my perspective on leadership.
Arkhe: Similarly, I’ve grown in my role as the 'shadow leader’ ensuring the quality and branding of Chronova. I've learned that quality doesn't always equate to what is perceived as good within various contexts.
Album Concept
Kanan: Unlike our earlier album, "Momentum," which was more fictionalized, "Rise of Re:Virth" is like an autobiographical representation of our actual experiences. It embodies our authentic journey and growth.
Looking Ahead
Chronova's first tour is set to kick off on April 29, 2026, starting in Aichi, marking a new chapter for the group. The members express excitement about finally sharing their evolution and growth with fans through live performances. The insights gained and challenges faced will culminate in a unique stage experience.
Remu: This tour represents a significant challenge for us, allowing us to showcase everything we've accomplished in our first chapter.
Arkhe: The upcoming performances will symbolize the start of a new era for Chronova. We are eager to demonstrate our growth and commitment to evolving beyond our initial definitions as a group.
As they embark on their journey with "Rise of Re:Virth," Chronova is positioned to transcend boundaries, promising innovative experiences for their audience while firmly establishing their identity as a transformative force in the idol scene.
