Rinkou Ashelia, Lia and Phase OriginS
Rinkou Ashelia, also written Ashelia Rinkou and 鈴香アシェリア, is the Phase Connect creator behind Lia Ch. Her work brings together English-language gaming and conversation, Japanese song covers and concert performances. The agency places her in Phase 01 – OriginS, its original seven-person group. Her own channel currently describes its direction as spreading “denpa energy,” a useful introduction to the playful musical identity that sits alongside her longer game broadcasts.
The official OriginS introduction gives her a science-fiction premise: a former special agent becomes a criminal and uploads her consciousness and personality to the Phase Network. This is character lore, rather than a claim about the person performing. Her June 2021 self-introduction Q&A connects that premise with her interest in games and identifies her as a first-generation member. The short video is an accessible historical starting point; its upload date should not be confused with the date of every member's debut stream.
A game archive built for following a series
Lia's channel playlists make her gaming catalogue easier to navigate than a list of recent uploads. Separate collections include Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy Tactics, Bravely Default, Dangan Ronpa and Dark Souls/Bloodborne. These are routes into extended playthroughs and conversation, rather than evidence that every listed game has been completed.
The same archive distinguishes Lessons with Lia, Diary Exchange, conversation and collaborations from game-specific series. A reader interested in sustained commentary can therefore follow one title in sequence; someone looking for her conversational format can choose a recurring programme instead. This organisation gives a fuller picture of the channel than treating whichever game appeared most recently as a career milestone.
Heart Challenger and a first recorded cover
In March 2023, Lia published her version of Heart Challenger, identifying it as her first song cover. Her description names Takanashi Kiara as the original artist and explains that she had wanted to cover the song since its release. It provides a concrete early music milestone alongside the gaming archive.
The recording also separates performance from production: Arkhand is credited for the remix, BEBE for illustration, ゴリマッチョ。 for the music video and Animecio for mixing. Those credits explain why this is a produced cover video, rather than simply a karaoke excerpt. Covering Kiara's song establishes a musical connection; it does not make Lia a hololive member or establish a joint recording with Kiara.
A duet with Rie, followed by further solo covers
The July 2024 Drop Pop Candy duet pairs Lia with Rie Himemiya. Both are credited as vocalists, with art by happy and Minnie, mixing by VESEN and video production by AiRo. Lia describes the song as a shared Vocaloid favourite. The release is a useful entry into her collaborative singing without treating the performers as a newly announced generation or agency.
Her later Cartoon Girl cover, uploaded in August 2026, credits Kanaria for the original, TeoN for illustration, Edmund Kinoko for the music video and Inverse for mixing. Heard alongside Heart Challenger and the duet, it offers three distinct ways into her recorded music: a first cover, a two-singer collaboration and a later solo production.
World of Lia: stage version and original-song video
World of Lia connects Lia's original music with her stage work. Her Vtuber Awards 2024 concert-version upload identifies it as her first original song and credits NEKOZUME for the music. That version also lists choreography by Juju Bon, making the performance's dance production part of the record.
The separately published original-song music video arrived in July 2026. It credits Lia for vocals, NEKOZUME for music, Mili for additional backing vocals, meow_toki for vocal arrangement, Kanalia for vocal editing, and niu arx for mixing and mastering. KMNK supplied the illustration and hongmika the video; several fellow Phase Connect creators are credited for chants.
These are two presentations of the same original, with version-specific credits. The 2026 video should not erase the documented 2024 performance. Its description announced availability on streaming services for July 31; that announcement is distinct from the video's upload date and is not a check that every service currently carries it.
From convention performance to a solo-live announcement
Lia's own Ashura-Chan performance upload identifies its setting as OffKai 2025. It was uploaded in September that year, so September is the publication date of this video, not a date inferred for the convention performance. Together with the Awards concert version, it provides a route into her stage repertoire beyond studio videos.
In July 2026, she also published a 3D solo-live announcement, describing a birthday and first-single celebration with free YouTube viewing, guests and special covers. The announcement documents the project and its intended format. It is not itself a complete concert archive or proof that an announced guest appearance took place.
Milestones that explain the different formats
- June 2021: the self-introduction Q&A identifies Lia with Phase Connect's first generation and introduces her gaming and wanted-criminal persona.
- March 2023: Heart Challenger marks the first recorded cover identified in her own release description.
- July–December 2024: the Rie duet and the World of Lia Awards concert-version upload document collaboration and original-song stage work.
- 2025: the OffKai performance adds another recorded stage setting; the later upload date remains separate from the event date.
- July–August 2026: the World of Lia music video, solo-live announcement and Cartoon Girl cover show original production, concert planning and continued cover releases.
Where to begin and who to explore next
For a short introduction, begin with the Q&A; for a produced song, choose World of Lia; for collaborative singing, try Drop Pop Candy. A game-specific playlist is the better starting point for someone who prefers a longer stream series. The official channel remains the place to check newly published work and current programme information.
Within Phase Connect, Iori Hakushika offers Japanese lessons and recorded collaborations, while Nasa Utatane and Michiru Shisui connect originals with the MIRARi trio. These related guides distinguish founding-group membership, musical partnerships and individual work, helping readers explore the agency without assuming that every collaboration describes the same relationship.
