Bicce Blanca × Novel Core Team Up for "Beast ≠ Knight" Drama Theme
Bicce Blanca just announced a landmark collaboration with fellow Visual Kei act Novel Core, unveiling their first-ever joint track "Beast ≠ Knight (feat. Novel Core)" — which has already snagged the opening theme slot for TV Asahi's April 2026 Friday night drama *Three Months Left: A Cheated Husband's Story* (*Yomei 3-Kagetsu no Sarefufu*).
The announcement came during Bicce Blanca's special event, **RAINBOW ROAD -Tou-**, held at Zepp Haneda (TOKYO) on April 9th. The bill reunited the band with Chilli Beans. and Novel Core for their first back-to-back format show in around two years. The setlist blended fan favorites like "Ca Va?," "×L×C×A×," and "Ponytail" with spring-appropriate selections, culminating in an all-lineup encore of "Urara" that had the room buzzing with energy.
During the MC segment, Bicce Blanca revealed the new collaboration with Novel Core—marking their first official pairing. The chemistry between the two vocalists translates into genuinely thrilling interplay; the track balances an eerie, mysterious allure with dynamic vocal exchanges that kept the crowd captivated. "Beast ≠ Knight" debuted live that same night, and the release date is coming soon.
For those unfamiliar, Bicce Blanca brings melodic yet theatrical Visual Kei sensibilities, while Novel Core infuses their sound with darker, more atmospheric textures. This partnership has clear potential to bridge their respective fanbases and introduce each act to new listeners.
The band also announced **VK Blanka Joyride to 10th Tour**, kicking off in September 2026 as part of their upcoming 10th anniversary celebrations. Tour dates span from Sapporo (September 19) to Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (October 25), with stops in Fukuoka, Nagoya, Sendai, and Osaka.
**Keep your eyes locked on "Beast ≠ Knight"'s official release date.** Stream it the moment it drops, and if you're in Japan, consider catching one of these upcoming tour dates—Bicce Blanka's anniversary year is shaping up to be unmissable.
