LUV K RAFT members become certified PADI instructors

The members of the Japanese music unit LUV K RAFT have all become certified PADI scuba diving instructors. Following the successful completion of the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) and instructor examinations held on September 12 and 13, vocalists KAREN and Mishu joined existing member Masato Kitano in achieving instructor status.

As PADI AmbassaDivers, the trio intends to use their platform to promote the appeal of diving and marine conservation alongside their musical activities. The group, which blends rock, pop, and electro, is scheduled for a major debut with Tokuma Japan Communications in September 2026, accompanied by a release tour starting in Osaka.
