Chameleon Lime Whoopiepie (CLWP) is a solo unit led by Chi-, a talented Japanese artist with striking orange hair. While Chi- takes center stage, CLWP is not a one-woman show. The band also consists of two other members, Whoopies #1 and Whoopies #2. Together, they not only create and perform music but also engage in various other creative endeavors. They’re releasing a brand new single titled “Chair.”

CLWP’s sound is quite unique, and the amount of inventiveness found in their melodies cannot be overlooked. I’m not sure if the song can be cataloged as Jpop since in my opinion, it is more on the experimental side of the musical spectrum. Chi-‘s voice gives a mysterious quality to the whole endeavor, which is neither too soft nor too deep but perfectly fits the vibes transmitted here. The song has a certain otherworldly feel, and the atmosphere it creates is quite captivating. Chi-‘s unique vocal style, combined with the experimental nature of the music, gives it a vibe that is hard to categorize. Overall, CLWP has composed a very peculiar tune. One thing I truly love about Eastern artists is their ability to express themselves in different and original ways, they’re not afraid to take risks. “Chair” is a great example of this, and it’s sure to inspire others to be more creative and think outside the box. Music is an art form that should never be limited to a single genre or style.

As CLWP’s fame continues to grow, they have garnered praise and received numerous collaboration requests from musicians and producers around the world. By pushing the boundaries of their artistry, CLWP aims to redefine what it means to be a new-generation musician, continuously pushing the envelope and leaving a lasting impact on the scene.

In December 2019, CLWP released their debut single titled “Dear Idiot.” This compelling track demonstrates the incredible amount of creativity they put into their work. This didn’t go unnoticed, as they were selected to be featured on Spotify’s prestigious Radar: Early Noise 2021 playlist the following year. On November 25th of the same year, “Rich Girl,” which was the first collaboration with an international artist, was also released in collaboration with British producer and DJ TCTS. CLWP’s popularity continued to soar, and they were honored with an incredible opportunity to perform at Summer Sonic 2022, one of Japan’s largest music festivals. With concerts in both Tokyo and Osaka in August 2022, CLWP left audiences in awe with their electrifying performances and infectious energy. Not content with limiting their accomplishments to Japan, CLWP ventured overseas to showcase their talent. In March 2023, they were invited to perform at SXSW, the renowned music festival held in Austin, Texas.

With their vibrant energy, creative prowess, and boundless ambition, Chameleon Lime Whoopiepie is destined to make it big time. One thing I forgot to mention! Chi-‘s bright orange hair strongly reminds me of Leeloo (Milla Jovovich from The Fifth Element). A lovely look that anyone will instantly recognize!
