Kanade was delighted as her songs started to evoke more and more emotion from Mafuyu, but this happiness was cut short when Mafuyu's mother asked Kanade to stay away from her daughter. Finding this woman's behavior disconcerting, Kanade refused and chose to stick by Mafuyu's side. When Kanade was young, her mother fell ill and passed away. Her father was a musician who made a living off of commissions. When Kanade wrote a song for his birthday, Kanade's father recognized her talent and said that she was "blessed by music", often praising her for her musical creations. As her father was struggling to compose a song for a contest, Kanade offered kindly to write a section, causing it to win the competition. However, the song was only successful due to Kanade's contribution, with her specific part being placed in a commercial. Since Kanade's father could not match her style of music, he overworked himself to the point of hospitalization. Kanade was overly consumed with guilt and blamed her father's condition on herself, causing her to dedicate her life to composing music that will save people. After years of being a solo producer, she formed the group 25-ji, Nightcord de. by recruiting Mafuyu, then Ena and Mizuki. Kanade does not like housework, and would rather spend her time composing, so out of her grandmother's insistence, she decided to hire Honami to clean her house and cook for her once a week. She does most of her classes online, but sometimes goes to the school in-person to attend certain events such as the school's opening ceremony. Kanade has blue eyes and very long, blueish-white hair.

She often puts the needs of others before herself, overworking herself for the sake of her music. Kanade's entire life is dedicated to composing, often putting off sleep, eating, and going outside to focus on writing music.

Seeing this, after some things had transpired, Kanade declared that no matter how long it takes, she'll keep composing until it's enough to save Mafuyu. Though initially, Kanade's reasoning for wanting to save Mafuyu was driven merely by self-interest. More specifically, she saw composing songs that'd someday save somebody as a form of penance and something to live for after her father had been pushed into a coma. Because of this, Kanade believes that her problems are small compared to Mafuyu's, often forgetting to eat and rest because she's focused on composing a song to save Mafuyu.

Minori greatly admires Kanade's dedication to making a song that can save people and relates to Kanade's feelings of exhaust after pushing herself. As a result, Minori wants Kanade to smile because of how much she works for others' sake and promises to give Kanade her support so she can move forward. Kanade is also inspired by how Minori has used everything she's experienced to learn how to "give people hope for a better tomorrow".

However, in reality she is heavily burdened and pressured by the expectations placed on her. In middle school, she aspired to be a nurse, however, her parents pressured her to be a doctor instead. Conforming to what others expected of her caused Mafuyu to lose her sense of identity, having difficulty expressing true emotion or deciding what she likes.

Mafuyu is very blunt when stating her opinions of Ena's art, which often sets off Ena's temper. Although they initially had a rocky relationship, the two come to understand each others' struggles and start respecting each other more as time goes on. It is also thanks to Mafuyu's words in Insatiable Pale Color that Ena snapped out of her slump, returned to the real world and kept on drawing. In Ena's Birthday Card, Mafuyu tells her she appreciates Ena saying things straight out rather than sugarcoating her words. Akiyama Mizuki: Fellow circle member.

Kamishiro Rui: The two properly met for the first time in the At This Festival Bathed in Twilight event, where she helps Rui out in the first-aid tent after he injures himself.

They often assume the role of mediator in arguments, breaking things up between Mafuyu and Ena. Mizuki is great at understanding the emotions of others, and is able to sense changes in tension and atmosphere in the group. Despite this, Mizuki tends to keep their distance, keeping their true feelings and secrets hidden from even their close friends. They have a strong recognition of the struggles their fellow members face, yet fear that they won't be accepted if they're too open about themself.

Nightcord at 25:00's illustrator. Despite wrestling with her belief that she has no artistic talent and being at the receiving end of harsh criticism, Ena persists in creating art. She has a straightforward personality and was initially frustrated with Mafuyu for not expressing her true feelings to her mother. However, noticing the changes in Mafuyu since they first met, Ena has resolved to look after her dear friend. Ena's father is a famous artist and her inspiration for drawing. However, he believes that the path of a professional artist is full of pain and suffering, and that Ena is incapable of handling that pain. One day when Ena was in middle school, she expressed her desire to enroll at an art school, but her father told her to give up because she lacked any talent. Their relationship has been strained ever since, and she kept drawing in order to prove him wrong. She also used to attend art classes hosted by Yukihira Saneatsu, a famous artist, for over 5 years, before she quit after receiving very harsh criticism from him. Despite her father and art teacher's words, she attempted to enter one of the art schools by taking its entrance exam. However during the exam, even though she tried her best to complete the assignment, she couldn't forget what the two had said to her and was unable to draw as well as she wanted, leading to her not being accepted. As a result she instead ended up attending Kamiyama's Night Classes. Ena was invited to join 25-ji, Nightcord de. by Kanade, who liked the illustrations she made based on Kanade's music.

She is harshly critical of her own art, regularly feeling frustrated by setbacks from her lack of talent. Ena is also easily flustered or angered, often being teased and called a "tsundere" by Mizuki. While blunt and sarcastic, she also has a caring softer side she doesn't like to admit to, especially in the case with Mafuyu. Despite her harsh act, Ena is often the first person to lend a hand when a friend is in trouble, as she never hesitates for the people that she cares about. Her strong determination to prove herself as an artist clashes with her low self esteem and her intense craving for praise, stemming from her father's disapproval of her desire to pursue art. She has also admitted to how she hates herself for being unable to draw without recognition. A part of her self-esteem comes from the comments on her selfies and art in 25-ji, Nightcord de.'s music videos. Though still having many qualms about her art, the presence of the music group has helped Ena come to terms with herself and she eventually rejoins the same art class she quit in middle school. Realizing she couldn't imagine any other future, she tells her father that she knows she has no talent, but is determined to become an artist no matter how painful the path may be, finally gaining his acceptance.

When the feelings of a person are realized, they will manifest in SEKAI through a song. VIRTUAL SINGERS live in these worlds, with different appearances in each SEKAI, helping people discover their true feelings.

People can travel to their SEKAI by playing "Untitled" songs. These songs have no melody or lyrics and are created when a SEKAI is born.

Fragment SEKAI: is a temporary SEKAI created when a character is feeling strong emotions or reminiscing on their past. Fragment SEKAI are unnamed, can only be accessed within another SEKAI, and cannot be exited by pausing "Untitled". These fragments appear as glowing spheres of light and teleport the owner into the SEKAI upon contact.

It is worth mentioning that Fragment SEKAI do not last long, as they are only a fragment of one's feelings. Each Fragment SEKAI is explored in a character's Colorful Festival card, and is themed to the character's memories or current feelings.

Trivia:

If a member's phone battery dies, they will be forcibly kicked out from SEKAI and are sent back to the normal world.

The stage seen in Virtual Lives is its own SEKAI that the VIRTUAL SINGERS can seemingly transport characters to without using Untitled. It changes appearance based on the performers and the song they’re singing.

The song "Untitled" will turn into a playable song once the people within its SEKAI realize their true feelings, at end of each unit story.

Unlike other SEKAI, the Empty SEKAI are built from a single person feeling Mafuyu respectively, instead of all four members of the unit. Despite this, other people's emotions still affect the SEKAI and VIRTUAL SINGERS that appear in it.
