On April 26th 2025, MizinkoFacT, a new solo project by Nao of ALICE NINE (アリス九號.), burst onto the scene with the release of an MV for his upcoming first digital single, Sasshite Kanojo (察して彼女). In it, he sings the vocals and plays guitar, rather than being on drums! The rest of his support members are masked.
The MV was directed by none other than Tora Amano, fellow ALICE NINE (アリス九號.) band member, and his collaborator in live act TNP (Tora and Nao Project).
Nao has announced that MizinkoFacT’s first live will be held on August 3rd 2025, and will be called Shiawase no Bakuhatsu (しあわせの爆発) {Outburst of Happiness}.
In order to lead up to MizinkoFacT’s first live, Nao is going to be uploading one video per day, for 100 days, on his new Youtube channel, so make sure to subscribe to get a little dose of Nao’s new vision as a solo artist every day!
The bio on his new homepage gives us a sense of the concept for his new solo project (translated into English):
ALICE NINE. Nao’s solo project.
I started activities in 2025 with a concept of, “I’ll turn the stuff that a water flea sorta man wants to say into songs!” The songs, thoroughly candid and down-to-earth, sometimes unrefined and sometimes subtle, will cozy up to your heart. Without your empathic response, I can’t achieve my “honest yell” that extends to a comical depth!
The name MizinkoFacT is also a little nod to a cover of ALICE NINE (アリス九號.)’s song Kakumei Kaika-Revolutionary Blooming- (革命開花-Revolutionary Blooming-) that he uploaded onto his NICONICO Douga account (as “Mijinko”) back in 2019. You can listen to that rare gem of a cover on this page.
