Album Details
With the theme of this album being “NIJISANJI World”, they aimed to bring this to as many people around the world as possible. With a total of six talents, they produced seven versions of the song across five different languages. This truly is “World Edition”.
The folks at NIJISANJI wanted to share the message of “Joining hands together with people regardless of age, gender, nationality, etc., and never giving up in the face of obstacles“. A reflection of a perfect society.
Here is the list of all singers included in the album:
- Rin Shizuka (NIJISANJI, Japan)
- Kohaku Todo (NIJISANJI, Japan)
- Elira Pendora (NIJISANJI EN)
- Nara Haramaung (NIJISANJI ID, Indonesia)
- Chae Ara (NIJISANJI KR, South Korea)
- Eine (VirtuaReal, China)
This list helps to show a little clearer how diverse the cast is. We noticed that despite her debut only being in May of this year, Elira Pendora would already be lending her vocals to such a large-scale project. Support Elira on YouTube and Twitter.
The song list includes multiple versions of the song Trial and Error, with various artists singing in multiple different languages.
You can buy the complete album for ¥1,800 or purchase the tracks separately at ¥250 each here. While the album will initially be released on July 9th, 2021, it will later become available for streaming across various streaming services a week later, on July 16th, 2021.
There is a dedicated website for this PALLETE project; however, unfortunately, the site is currently the only available in Japanese. Therefore, we’ll leave you with a short excerpt from the said site:
NIJISANJI has been able to grow and develop thanks to our highly interactive and creative fans.
“PALETTE” is a special project to commemorate the 3rd anniversary of NIJISANJI. We hope to create a new “color” through our content that incorporates the thoughts of fans and creators.
We love to see fans create all kinds of creative works such as illustrations, manga, videos, remixes, songs, novels, and we hope that you will use the hashtag #nijisanji_palette to share your creations with the community!
As we paint each new color together, this “palette” will shine vividly.

Anycolor Inc. and NIJISANJI
This section is for those unfamiliar with ANYCOLOR Inc. and NIJISANJI or just those who want to get to know them better.
ANYCOLOR Inc. (formerly known as Ichikara Inc.) are a “comprehensive entertainment company” based in Japan. Originally founded in May 2017, they quickly made waves within the entertainment industry. Anycolor Inc has worked on VR programs such as Yumenographia, a VR service where you can spend time with someone from an extensive array of appealing cast members.
However, ANYCOLOR Inc. is most well known for its success within the VTuber industry. Not only limiting their activities to the place of origin, Japan, but they have also worked exhaustively on spreading the VTuber trend across the globe through NIJISANJI and other overseas VTuber projects.
ANYCOLOR Inc. has also undergone some recent rebranding (such as the name mentioned above change). This was brought about due to their beliefs that a company is built not solely by the said company, but also by the consumers. Therefore, they wish to “paint the blank canvas of the company’s future together“.
Nijisanji, the major corporation of ANYCOLOR Inc., is a VTuber program that was initially founded in early 2018 with the desire to “accelerate the beginning of the next generation of entertainment.” They were undoubtedly successful as they are now one of the largest VTuber agencies to date, with over 100 active “Livers” across a variety of streaming platforms.
Nijisanji, although Japanese, has always had their eyes set on making VTubers more of a global phenomenon, looking to garner enthusiastic fans from various corners of the world. As of the time of writing this, they have succeeded in establishing branches in China, Indonesia, South Korea, and the recent establishment of the EN group LazulLight.
That’s all for now, but if you’re a fan of VTubers and gaming, you can head over to the newly created VTuber section of our site. Want to speak to the team and interact with other gamers?
