Who Is Airi Suzuki? The J-pop Singer Who Sang Bibbidiba with hololive

Airi Suzuki is the Japanese singer you hear next to two hololive VTubers in that Bibbidiba cover: a former member of the idol group ℃-ute who, since 2018, has been a solo singer with Sony Music Japan – and co-host of an anime-song cover show whose episodes TV Asahi posts on its official YouTube channel. Her first solo release was not a single but a full album, Do me a favor, on 6 June 2018, less than a year after ℃-ute’s farewell concert. Facts checked on Sony Music Japan’s and hololive’s official pages and TV Asahi’s official YouTube channel on 27 October 2026.

The video that brings most hololive fans here is this one, from TV Asahi’s official channel: Airi Suzuki, Otonose Kanade and Todoroki Hajime singing Suisei’s song together.

Who is Airi Suzuki, in one table

Born	12 April 1994 (Sony Music profile)
Group years	℃-ute, formed 11 June 2005; major debut single “Sakura Chirari” on 21 February 2007; also the rock-pop unit Buono! from 2007
Group ending	Buono! ended on 22 May 2017 (Yokohama Arena); ℃-ute disbanded on 12 June 2017 at Saitama Super Arena, and she left Hello! Project
Solo debut	Album Do me a favor, 6 June 2018; her first Nippon Budokan concert as a solo singer on 9 July 2018
Record company	Sony Music Japan
Also	Model and actress; Sony’s profile notes she was an exclusive model for the fashion magazine Ray from 2015

One detail overseas fans tend to like: Sony’s profile says ℃-ute performed abroad actively and was popular “in Japan and overseas”, so she has been singing for fans outside Japan since her group years.

The anime-song show: where the hololive cover comes from

The Bibbidiba video is an episode of an anime-song cover show that Airi Suzuki hosts with singer-songwriter Masayoshi Ōishi (オーイシマサヨシ), known to fans as “Deshō Deshō” (でしょでしょ). Episodes such as the Bibbidiba cover are posted on TV Asahi’s official YouTube channel Douga, Hajimete Mimashita. If you came here searching “airi suzuki anime songs”, that channel is the easiest place to start: it is free, and you hear her sing songs you already know from anime.

The two hosts are linked by more than the show. Masayoshi Ōishi, under his real name 大石昌良, wrote the words and music and did the arrangement for her 2023 single “Saikyō no Oshi!” (“My Strongest Oshi!”), the theme of the TV Tokyo drama Oshi ga Jōshi ni Narimashite, according to Sony Music Japan.

Here is that music video on her own official channel:

Airi Suzuki’s anime songs: three Kaguya-sama works in a row

If her voice sounds familiar from anime, it is probably from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. Sony Music Japan calls it a “continued” appointment: she sang for the series three times in a row.

Year	Song	Used for
2020	“DADDY ! DADDY ! DO ! feat. Airi Suzuki” (Masayuki Suzuki’s single, with her as guest vocalist)	Season 2 opening
2022	“Heart wa Oteage” (ハートはお手上げ), single out 1 June 2022	Season 3 (Ultra Romantic) ending
2022	“heart notes”, a ballad, streamed from 23 December 2022	Ending of the special film The First Kiss That Never Ends (17 December 2022)

People also search “airi suzuki and masayuki suzuki relationship”. What is official is that Sony Music called their 2020 song a “W Suzuki” (double Suzuki) number and that she said being called that was a great honour. We found no official statement on whether they are related, so we leave it there. (Masayuki Suzuki is a different person from her show co-host Masayoshi Ōishi – the similar names confuse many search results.)

What the owner of this site thinks of her live shows

The person who runs this site is a fan and has been to an Airi Suzuki concert. Their view, in short: the performance is overwhelming, she sings every song with a lot of feeling, and she is very good at respecting the original while adding her own colour on top – which is exactly what you hear in the anime-song covers. And on stage she is cute and funny. That is one fan’s impression, not a review.

In Japan she is well known beyond music: she is the cover interview of the November 2026 issue of the free magazine Poco’ce (pococe.com).

How to listen to and buy Airi Suzuki’s music from abroad

Her most recent album with full details on Sony Music Japan’s site is 28/29 (released 20 March 2024), which collects the songs above in one place: “Saikyō no Oshi!”, “Heart wa Oteage”, “heart notes” and seven more, including a cover of Crystal Kay’s “Koi ni Ochitara”.

Can you see Airi Suzuki live in Japan?

Concerts and ticket sales are announced on her official site, airisuzuki-officialweb.com, and on the Live / Event page of Sony Music Japan. When we checked on 27 October 2026, her official site showed an emergency system maintenance notice (from 21 October, end date not yet announced), so we have not listed dates or fan-club details here. Check Sony’s page for news, and book the trip only once the date and ticket rules are confirmed on an official page. Many Japanese ticket sites are in Japanese only, so a translation app helps.

Planning a fan trip to Tokyo around a show? Many visitors combine it with anime shopping – the Pokémon Center Japan guide covers the stores and the card lotteries. And once you have heard her sing anime songs, the next question is usually: where in Tokyo do you go for anime goods, VTuber merch and figures – Akihabara, Ikebukuro or Nakano? Our guide to Akihabara and Tokyo’s anime districts compares them.
