I.ADORE R01’s New Song ‘Dummy’ to Release Digitally on July 24, Lyric Video on July 30

The character content project I.ADORE has announced that its unit R01 will release a new digital single titled “Dummy” on July 24, 2026 at 0:00 JST. To celebrate, a lyric video will premiere on the official YouTube channel on July 30 at 20:00 JST.

I.ADORE is the third major character content project from EVIL LINE RECORDS and Dazed, following the hit music-based rap project Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- and the superhuman share-house story Charisma. Set in an “Idol Warring States” era of Japan where idols with a special power called “Sixth Sense” govern the land, the story follows nine boys from nine divided regions who aspire to become idols to change their fates. The original work is by Dazed, character design by illustrator Kunyamon, music production by EVIL LINE RECORDS, and art direction by BALCOLONY. The project generated significant buzz on social media even before its official launch.

The new track “Dummy” was written, composed, and arranged by necchi. It is performed by R01 members Kanji Aikyu (CV: Udogawa Kaito), Yomino Mekuru (CV: Mitsuhashi Kaoru), and Uzuki Gakuto (CV: Fukunishi Masaya). The song will be available on streaming platforms starting July 24. A pre-add/pre-save campaign has also begun today, offering an original wallpaper image to those who pre-register the song via the designated URL.

Note that the short anime series will take a break next week; episode 21 is scheduled to be released on July 31 at noon.
