The group, part of the Lovvebox production under Blackbox Inc., will hold a solo mini live titled 'Quinte Mini Live ~ Re Quintet ~' at BUZZ music LABO Shinjuku in Shinjuku, Tokyo, on that date. The live marks the group's return to a five-member lineup, matching its original debut configuration from February 2, 2025. At the event, Quinte will perform the new song 'Rise Up' for the first time with the five-member system. Tickets for the live are sold out. The group debuted as a five-member 2.5-dimensional idol VTuber group and has continued monthly offline live events. After a period as a three-member group consisting of Momosaki Milk, Hano Ciel, and Hanano Eleonora, the addition of Rurina and Kira brings the group back to five. The live name 'Re Quintet' carries the meaning of returning to the origin of five members while starting a new chapter.","whyItMatters":"The return to a five-member lineup restores Quinte to its original debut configuration, a structural shift that the group is framing as a new chapter rather than a simple return to the past.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe two new members each have distinct character backstories and assigned colors.
