Nepolabo (ねぽらぼ) — Momosuzu Nene, Omaru Polka, Yukihana Lamy, and Shishiro Botan — has dropped Twinkle 4 You, and at this point it’s clear the group didn’t just release one anniversary song this year, they built an entire week around it. This is the third original tied to their 6th anniversary, following “Hyper Jumpin'” and the newly released MV for “ひとつになる声,” with each release landing on a different member’s channel under the shared #ねぽらぼweek tag.
Same Producer, Different Energy
Twinkle 4 You comes from PandaBoY, who also wrote and produced “Hyper Jumpin'” earlier in the week — giving him two of the three anniversary tracks and a real hand in shaping how this whole celebration sounds. Where “Hyper Jumpin'” leaned into pure crowd-energy chaos, “Twinkle 4 You” reads as the softer, more sentimental counterpart, rounding out a week that’s covered a genuinely wide emotional range across just three songs.
A Full Production Team
The visual side of this one is especially stacked: illustration from Sonna Monaka (そんなもなか), video direction from Ehre_origine, graphic design and motion work from FUKUDA., and illustration animation from Ayumu Funaki of SIKAKU Inc. That’s a larger crew than either of the week’s earlier releases, suggesting this was positioned as the closing statement of the celebration.
An Anniversary Week Built Around All Four Members
What stands out about how Nepolabo handled this anniversary is the structure — rather than one big joint drop, the celebration unfolded across each member’s own channel over several days, giving every one of the four a moment to host part of the story. For a group whose whole identity was born out of an off-the-cuff hashtag rather than an official unit name, spreading the anniversary across all four channels feels true to form.
Six Years, Three Songs, One Week
Between the crowd-anthem energy of “Hyper Jumpin’,” the returning warmth of “ひとつになる声” finally getting its MV, and now the closing sentiment of “Twinkle 4 You,” Nepolabo’s 6th anniversary week ends up being one of the more thorough celebrations any hololive unit has put together for a single milestone.
