Kasane Teto, the virtual singer with the red twin-drill pigtails, is now the face of Fortnite Festival. Epic Games put her TWINDRILL DIVA Music Mini-Pass on sale on Thursday, November 12, 2026, as the headline act of Festival Season 16.
The pass is cheaper and smaller than a regular Music Pass. It costs 1,000 V-Bucks, and players who already pay for Fortnite Crew get it automatically. Teto then joins the Battle Royale island three days later.
What the TWINDRILL DIVA pass costs and unlocks
Buying the pass grants the Kasane Teto outfit at tier one, before any progression. You earn every other reward by playing through the pass.
Here is what players unlock along the way, as listed by Epic Games:
| Reward | Type | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Kasane Teto | Outfit | Instant on purchase |
| Teto’s Baguette Bonker | Pickaxe | Pass progression |
| Pearto | Back Bling | Pass progression |
| Hue Futura | Instrument | Pass progression |
| Miku & Teto Slippers | Kicks | Pass progression |
| Music-reactive style | Outfit style | Final tier |
The last reward is the most interesting one. Once you finish the pass, Teto’s outfit gets a style that reacts to the music being played.
Which four Jam Tracks come with the pass?
The pass adds four songs to Fortnite Festival, and only one of them actually features Teto. Here is the full list with artist credits:
- “BIRDBRAIN” by Jamie Paige and OK Glass, featuring Kasane Teto
- “Shut Up and Dance” by Walk the Moon
- “Chronicles of Destiny” by The Home of Happy and James Corbin
- “Sa-Sen!” by MONT, Risa and Musashi
Putting “BIRDBRAIN” next to a mainstream rock single makes clear who Epic is targeting. The pass is aimed at Vocaloid fans who have pushed for Teto, and also at players who just want songs they already know.
When do Kasane Teto and Hatsune Miku arrive in Battle Royale?
The two singers arrive on Sunday, November 15, 2026. That is the third weekly Captain’s Day of the Treasure Hunters mini-season, according to VICE. Teto will appear as a captain character next to Cap’n Hatsune Miku at Friendship Villa, a new point of interest on Crossbones Isle.
Epic has said the resort takeover brings back some older weapons and adds a leek that players can wield. The leek is a nod to Miku, whose fans have tied her to the vegetable since the late 2000s.
Cap’n Hatsune Miku, the pirate version of the singer, goes on sale in the Item Shop on Saturday, November 14. According to Beebom, a Teto-themed Sprite is also planned later in the mini-season. It would create a protective “Friend Zone Bubble” that lasts 15 seconds.
From an April Fools’ joke to a Fortnite headliner
Teto started as a prank. In 2008, users of the Japanese message board 2channel invented her as a fake new Vocaloid for April Fools’ Day.
The joke turned into a real voicebank for UTAU, a free voice-synthesis program, and Teto went on to become one of the best-known virtual singers outside Crypton Future Media’s Vocaloid lineup. Her twin-drill hairstyle gives the pass its name.
Miku came first. She headlined Fortnite Festival Season 7 in January 2025, which opened the door for other virtual singers to follow.
Fortnite Crew changes arrive on Saturday, December 5
Crew subscribers get this mini-pass included in their $11.99 monthly plan. On Saturday, December 5, 2026, Epic will change what the subscription offers.
From that date, Crew still includes the Battle Pass, Music Pass and LEGO Pass. However, it drops the OG Pass and the exclusive monthly outfits, and it introduces monthly V-Bucks amounts that rise the longer you stay subscribed.
Epic also scheduled a LEGO Mini-Pass and the next Battle Pass for December 5. Players who want Teto without a subscription have until the end of Festival Season 16 to buy the TWINDRILL DIVA pass and finish its tiers.
