Description
Chiyu Tamade, stage name CHU2, is a 14-year-old Celosia Girls’ Academy student leading the electronic rock band RAISE A SUILEN (RAS) as its DJ, producer, and mastermind. Born to globally celebrated violinist Miu Tamade, she endured childhood pressure to master classical piano and violin, yet her middling competition results bred resentment and a hunger to carve her own path. Determined to outshine others through sheer musical force, she founded RAS, channeling bitterness from Yukina Minato’s rejection of her Roselia production offer into a vendetta to crush both Roselia and Poppin’Party.
To assemble her ideal band, Chiyu deployed ruthless tactics: coercing Tae Hanazono via her childhood friend Rei Wakana’s influence and strong-arming Rokka Asahi after initially rejecting her audition. She micromanaged RAS with ironclad rules—banning contact with rival bands and dictating schedules—to enforce her vision of supremacy. Her leadership veered into tyranny, marked by scathing outbursts targeting members like Reona Nyubara (PAREO). When RAS briefly trailed Roselia in rankings, Chiyu’s fragile control shattered; she lashed out, branding her bandmates “useless” and tightening restrictions until Reona and Masuki Sato (MASKING) quit, leaving her isolated.
Confronted by Rei (LAYER), Chiyu journeyed to Kamogawa to reconcile with Reona, offering a raw apology that laid bare her envy of the group’s talent and her own insecurities. This vulnerability catalyzed her redemption, shifting her view of RAS from tools for domination to cherished collaborators. She later mended ties with Roselia and Poppin’Party, embracing unity over rivalry.
Chiyu’s design mirrors her duality: cat-eared headphones and a prim school uniform clash with RAS’s rebellious image, reflecting her break from classical constraints. Fluent in English from international schooling, she weaves the language into lyrics and banter. Her alias “CHU2” encapsulates her split identity—a prodigy shackled by expectations turned defiant innovator.
Post-redemption, Chiyu prioritizes RAS’s camaraderie and creative freedom, though traces of her cutthroat drive linger. Her evolution remains shaped by her fraught history as a pressured child star and distant relationship with her mother, underscoring her journey toward self-acceptance and the redemptive power of trust.
