Yakushino Shino (薬師乃しの), Kanbara Asahi (柑原あさひ), and Suzukami Utane (鈴神うたね) of Parast! (ぱらすと！) have released a cover of Fire◎Flower — a song getting a lot of attention this season, and one that’s now been covered twice in quick succession within the VTuber space, a sign of just how strong its pull still is nearly two decades on.
The Song Behind the Cover
Fire◎Flower was written and composed by halyosy, originally released in August 2008 with Kagamine Ren on vocals — a bittersweet coming-of-age track about fireworks, summer nights, and a nervous, half-said confession that’s remained a go-to pick for cover artists at exactly this time of year.
Three Voices, Three Different Units
What makes this particular lineup interesting is that all three vocalists normally perform in separate Parast! units — Yakushino Shino with Signite, Kanbara Asahi with Sunglows, and Suzukami Utane with melctose — making this cover a genuine cross-unit collaboration rather than a release from any one group’s usual roster.
A Meaningful Moment for the Project
Worth noting for context: Parast! announced in June 2026 that the project would be winding down, with a final live show planned for the end of August and the talents’ activities concluding shortly after. A cover like this, bringing together voices from across the whole roster, lands as part of the project’s final stretch — a nice way for members from different units to share one more song together before that chapter closes.
