KAF made her YouTube debut on October 18, 2018 at 14 years old. In addition to releasing original songs, she often covered Japanese songs. With the concept of a virtual singer reaching out to the real world, her music videos often placed her in various real life places.
- Trivia
- On October 19, 2020, KAF followed up with a tweet regarding her own feelings on KAFU. She stated that while she was overall thrilled of the vocal as a VOCALOID fan herself and had no concerns of KAFU "replacing" her, she felt as though some people looked at the two as inseparable entities that were indistinct from the other. This prompted the decision to select "TYPE // B" as the vocal to proceed with development for CeVIO AI.[54]
