"The world's broken? Then let's make it cute."
In 2026, nineteen-year-old Runa Hoshino steps into a new world with NEW WORLD TRILOGY---a three-song story of liberation, rebirth, and revolution.
Built on the force of rock, the rush of live performance, and an irrepressible sense of WAKU², the trilogy moves from private resistance to something much bigger: a voice that reaches outward, gathers others, and begins to reshape the world around it.
Chapter 1, "BYE BYE NOISE," is the first breakthrough.
A rock song about cutting through the cold voices, expectations, and noise of the outside world---and refusing to let your own voice disappear.
Chapter 2, "WAKU² DINOSAUR," bursts open with color, movement, and fearless joy.
It rejects a future where dreams are something to grow out of, and turns excitement itself into a force strong enough to pull people forward.
Then comes Chapter 3, "KAWAII APOCALYPSE."
Not an apocalypse of destruction, but one of reconstruction.
A broken world is not abandoned.
It is held, decorated, repaired, and made kinder.
Driven by a relentless sense of motion, the song brings together Runa's voice, the music, and the voices of the audience until they become part of the same declaration:
Being cute is not the opposite of being strong.
Being kind is not the opposite of fighting back.
Across the three songs, the perspective keeps expanding.
From protecting one small voice,
to reaching for someone else's hand,
to raising a flag that everyone can follow.
Liberation.
Hatching.
Revolution.
You do not have to become "normal."
You do not have to erase the tears, the scars, or the parts of yourself that never fit.
What begins as a small light in "BYE BYE NOISE" becomes movement in "WAKU² DINOSAUR," and finally becomes a flag in "KAWAII APOCALYPSE."
A light becomes a voice.
A voice becomes a song.
A song becomes a world.
Lyrics are written by Shunsuke Eguro, with composition, arrangement, and music production by THIRDS.
Runa Hoshino also takes charge of the choreography, connecting music, voice, movement, and live performance into a single universe.
NEW WORLD TRILOGY is more than three new songs.
It is the sound of a nineteen-year-old artist refusing to disappear.
Refusing to stop dreaming.
Refusing to believe that strength has to look hard or cold.
With the world's greatest WAKU², Runa Hoshino sets out to repaint the world---
cuter, kinder, louder, and brighter than before.
Runa Hoshino --- NEW WORLD TRILOGY.
A declaration from the edge of one world, pointing toward the next.
"Bringing the world the greatest WAKU² " From Ashikaga, Japan, to the world-Runa Hoshino is a solo idol known as "the Red Comet of Watarasebashi 43." Her mission is to turn every stage into an unforgettable experience of music, joy, and boundless excitement. Runa made her debut at just five years old as a founding member of Watarasebashi 43. She later joined the children's duo RunaRina while in elementary school, before launching her full-fledged solo career in 2022. She released her first solo single, THE IDOL / WAKU² PROMISE, in 2023, followed by Never Ending / Find Yourself in 2024, writing the lyrics for both releases. That same year, she ventured into the heavier sounds of loud rock and punk with Sirius Ray, releasing the unit's self-titled debut mini-album in 2025. Then came 2026-a turning point. Three songs. Three chapters. One new world. BYE BYE NOISE. WAKU² DINOSAUR. KAWAII APOCALYPSE. Liberation. Hatching. Revolution. From reclaiming a voice nearly lost beneath the noise, to awakening an untamed sense of wonder, to a kawaii revolution determined to rebuild a broken world-these three songs form NEW WORLD TRILOGY, her third solo CD, released in October, 2026. A devoted dinosaur lover with a wonderfully unpredictable imagination, Runa combines playful spontaneity with the intensity of an artist who has spent most of her life onstage. Her electrifying performances, expressive dance, and irresistible onstage personality transform live shows into shared adventures, where the audience becomes part of the story. For Runa, being cute has never meant being weak. She believes you can stay cute-and still become stronger. Behind the energy, the laughter, and the fierce determination lies a simple dream: to create a kinder world, one where no one gets left behind. A world where even those who have forgotten how to dream can find a reason to believe again. From a small stage in Japan to wherever her music may reach next, Runa Hoshino keeps moving forward. The Never Ending IDOL. The world's greatest WAKU² is only just beginning.
