AINOMORI 
Toba Rana Is Now an Official YouTube Music Artist
Toba Rana has been verified with a YouTube Official Artist Channel (OAC) and now releases her music as an artist on major platforms around the world. A guardian of Ainomori begins a new chapter — written in song.
From Ainomori — Toba Rana has officially been verified with a YouTube Official Artist Channel (OAC), becoming a music creator recognised by YouTube itself.
What is an Official Artist Channel?
A YouTube Official Artist Channel is YouTube’s official verified channel for professional musicians. Earning OAC status means Rana’s music will be officially released on major streaming platforms worldwide — YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music and more — with official artist treatment across YouTube’s music ecosystem.
It isn’t an easy status to earn: it requires passing a distributor’s formal review, and it means a creator’s professionalism in music has been recognised at the platform level.
From guardian to musician
Ever since her debut in 2020, Rana has kept every Fukuroko company with her gentle voice. ASMR, chatting, games — her streams have been the softest thing in the middle of the night.
And now, that voice will be kept in a new form.
Not just a fleeting moment of company in a stream, but music you can listen to again and again, collect, and carry with you. Wherever you are in the world — on a morning commute or on the way home late at night — just put on your headphones, and the sound of Ainomori will be there.
A new chapter for Ainomori
In the nearly six years since Ainomori began, this is an important step into the world of music. From a VTuber group to a creative brand with an officially verified musician, Ainomori is moving steadily, at its own pace, toward a wider stage.
Look forward to Rana’s upcoming music releases.
Of all the wings, the one that flew the farthest. Of all the stardust, the one that smiled the brightest. And now, she has begun to sing.
