All these memories are my treasure
Earthlings, always stay happy!
Bye-bye!
The Dawn Mischief Girl constellation of Seireki13ya,
Nene Komochi

From Yui Urari's Twitter.The first time I woke up, tears streamed down.
The second time I woke up, my chest ached.
The third time I woke up, “Romantic Escape” started playing in my head.
Oh, how much I love it...
I was so happy to be a part of Seireki13ya.
The step I took forward back then was not a mistake.
Thank you for accepting and loving Yui Urari![]()
From Yowa Minai's Twitter.Thank you for these fateful days ෆ
I was truly happy that I could be a connecting link for Seireki13ya, whom I love so much, and whom you all love so much.
Being able to carry on all the way to the end of Seireki13ya is my greatest pride ෆ
Thank you so much ◜~◝⸝⸝
Goodnight![]()
From Fukumoto Emi's Twitter.I will never forget how Komo-chan, Urari, and Minai-chan performed this magical concert in costumes I made and on a stage I decorated.
Thank you for lighting up my life with a brilliantly shining star.
Every moment related to Seireki13ya was a treasure to me.
From Kisaragi Megumi's Twitter.It was a day when I deeply felt the greatness of people who decided to bring something to an end.
It was truly a wonderful day.
Thank you for everything, Seireki13ya.
The echoing applause still resonates in my ears.
Until their very last night, they gave me so many brilliantly shining days that it almost hurts.
From Mary Lust's Twitter.A giant star shines brightly in the sky~~
From Chimura Shifumi's Twitter.May the treasures you left on planet Earth continue to shine in everyone’s hearts ꙳☄︎
From Higaminari Yuichiomi's Twitter.On the final night of Seireki13ya, as I walked home, I looked up at the sky. The stars were so beautiful that I wanted to keep walking on such nights, listening to "Seireki's" music️
It was truly a wonderful day; thank you for everything![]()
From Tsukumo “St. Lightning Beast” Romi’s Twitter.Every time I watched "Seireki’s" performances, I was filled with happiness—so dazzling it blinded me, lifting my spirits and making me smile.
The sparkling, cute land of night.
I will never forget today’s sights, voices, cheers—every single memory.
The concept of “coyubi.”Summarizing the credo: stake your pinky on it.
Nobuhide Imamura during a recent stream.I'm becoming more and more excited about creating the new “Zenkimi.” And so, from now on, it’s no longer just a pinky promise; now it’s about staking your pinky!
A pinky promise is an image we’ve cherished all this time, but now I ask all of you to stake your pinky! Because we are staking ours. And I know the "patients" are staking theirs as well. Of course, I know that—if I didn’t, I couldn’t say this.
I’ve poured my feelings into this pinky so many times—it’s uncountable. And I’m sure I’ll keep saying this in the future: “Let’s seal it with our pinkies” (“Kono Yubi Tomare” — from the lyrics of “MudaiGasshou”).
Is there something in your life that you’ve staked everything on?
Have you ever directed your feelings towards something, pinned your hopes on it?
Whatever it may be, your pinky belongs to me.
From Kisaragi Megumi’s Twitter.This pinky that has sealed thousands of promises... I’ve really staked my entire life on it—that’s what I think every time I listen to this important song. I can’t wait to perform it live and have fun with the “patients” while throwing in some playful energy.
From Mei Yui Mei’s Twitter.This is a song filled with "Zenkimi’s" signature poisonous love, and the voices of us five, who stake our lives on this place; it so pleasant to listen to.
I can’t wait to have fun performing it live (`・ω・´)
Please listen to it a lot and keep loving "Zenkimi"!
From Nene Komochi’s Twitter.I’ve always staked my life on my love for singing, and that surely won’t change in the future![]()
From Muku’s Twitter.This is a song brimming with words and expressions in the style of Zenbu Kimi no Sei da
I’ve loved it ever since I first heard it
Please give it a listen too—may these words and voices reach you (˶'ᵕ '˶)
From Hino Hikari’s Twitter.Overflowing passionate feelings, love, and determination.
A pinky — it's so "Zenkimi"!
We’ve gained yet another important song to fully enjoy ourselves to (っᴖ˛ᴖc)
I can’t wait to have fun with you all performing it live.
Mei Yui Mei: CHINURU TOUR, from May to September, was tough. There were hardly any people.
On the first day of the tour, you, Omegu, were even crying out of sadness, weren’t you? Even during your speech. I’ll never forget that.
Nobuhide Imamura: But having decided to start everything from scratch, you persevered all the way to the final show at Shinjuku MARZ, where you nearly sold out the tickets—that’s what makes you fascinating. Others might have given up.
Mei Yui Mei: But still, I...
Kisaragi Megumi: Got depressed?
Mei Yui Mei: Depressed, or maybe... Omegu, don’t people constantly say these things to you? Like, you should’ve ended everything at Budokan?
Kisaragi Megumi: They do.
Mei Yui Mei: Like, "Kote-chan left, so I thought you would too," or "You performed at Budokan, so what’s the point of continuing?" Throughout this tour, people kept saying things like that to me, and I started doubting myself: "Why did I stay?" I sort of forgot the reason.
And at the Shinjuku MARZ show, I finally remembered. At Shinjuku MARZ and, for example, in Niigata… In the provinces, lots of people came to see us. And I realized that there are still people who are waiting for us. That I love performing on stage, and that’s why I stayed. Usually, I always realized this. I don't even know where it went then.
Nobuhide Imamura: We use the same bank for business and pay salaries into its accounts. But when it comes to transfers to other banks, there’s a commission of about 1,000 yen. And, as anyone in business knows, if you’re making many such transfers, it can amount to 50,000 or 60,000 yen a month in fees. That’s a problem. And though it’s been a year since she joined, she only recently opened an account with our bank. When I asked her why, it turned out she lacked the necessary documents. All this time, she had been avoiding dealing with them. That’s her tendency—to avoid unpleasant tasks. That’s unacceptable. So I told her, "I understand, but you must go." And she went. She came back and said, "I didn’t have this or that, so I couldn’t open an account." The next time she went, she said, "They were already closed." That’s typical troublemaker behavior. Shifumi is like that too. I’ll ask her, "Did you go to the hospital?" and she’ll say, "No, because of this or that." And Komochi too. "Did you go to the hospital?"—"No!" This whole year, I’ve been thinking about how to deal with this troublemaker nature of hers, but surprisingly, she’s started to change recently.
Tsukumo "St.Lightning Beast" Romi: I wanted to try my best, but, how should I put it... I didn’t want to stand out from the group. I thought, if everyone thinks this way, and I do something different, they’ll dislike me. So I ended up going along with the flow because it was easier. But I couldn’t live like that, so now, clenching my fists, I’m trying to change. And I’m still in the process.
In the continuation, you will learn about GESSHIRUI's first impressions of Yowa Minai, Muku, and Hino Hikari, and how they compare to his current impressions. You will also discover interesting and amusing characteristics of the girls, the circumstances of their joining their respective groups, their growth progress, the challenges they face, intriguing behind-the-scenes details, as well as the observations of the lyricist on the trends affecting people who want to become idols these days.“80% of those who want to become idols are unable to handle the simplest tasks.”
I’m deeply worried about Typhoon No. 10. It seems like many places have already been affected, and the thought that it could soon reach the Kanto region, where I am, fills me with fear. I urge everyone to avoid unnecessary outings and to pay close attention to their safety. Please, be cautious.
So, today, I’d like to write the second part of the “New Generation” article. I actually planned to write it yesterday, but it didn’t work out, so at last, I’m able to do it today. I’m excited myself to see who I’ll write about. In the previous part, I wrote about Higaminari Yuchiomi (NSLE) and Tsukumo “St. Lightning Beast” Romi (English translation). If you’re interested, I’d be happy if you check it out if you haven’t read it yet.
There’s also the article “Leaders,” (English translation) which inspired me to write this one. In it, I talked about the leaders of our groups. I hoped it might alleviate, even slightly, the burden of unfairness that leaders face, as it’s clear how tough it is for them even from an outside perspective. I’d be glad if you gave that article a read as well.
Now then, let’s get into the main part of today’s text. I’ve decided! Today, I want to write about Muku, the bubbles-colored member, and Hino Hikari, the sunset-colored member, from Zenbu Kimi no Sei da, who recently had to postpone their concerts in Fukuoka and Yamaguchi. I’ll also write about Yowa Minai from Seireki13ya. As usual, I’ll be talking about each member from my personal perspective, so I ask that only those truly interested proceed to read further.
From Enma’s Twitter.I like people who write exhausting texts, but I also like honest, strong, yet fragile people, and that's why I like the books of Yukio Mishima.
When I was asked why I love books, I thought about it and realized that perhaps it’s because books don’t let you feel lonely—I think that’s why I’ve loved reading them for so long.
On the one hand, they give you a sense of closeness, but they eventually come to an end, and that’s why I’ve always loved books.
Words that may seem insignificant to others can stay in your heart forever, the feeling of how such days come to an end... In short, I just love books.
The same feelings come to me from an evening bus, the smell after a winter rain...
Suddenly, but I’m going to sleep now, good night.
Can my hand enfold you, embracing your dismay, and swallow your pain, with a word of love?
The stars, as if jealous of the warmth we share,
Seem to have turned entirely into a sea.
The release concept, as expressed on the obi of the CD.Tough, tough, tough, tough, tough, tough...
For so long now. No matter where I am, no matter what I do,
All that keeps overflowing inside me are these heavy feelings for you.
The inherent venomousness of "Zenkimi," the days we spent together with "Patients," and the present—this is what we sing about in this song together.
I sing it while cherishing every single line.
From Kisaragi Megumi's Twitter.A song with rapidly shifting expressions.
Sometimes it's about the inability to be truly honest, and sometimes it suddenly conveys feelings with complete honesty.
And yet, what we are trying to express remains unchanged. I hope you will listen to this song often!
From Mei Yui Mei's Twitter.The characteristic rhythm of "Zenkimi" and the venomous love lyrics—I can already picture you guys going wild to it at concerts (`・ω・´)
I want you to listen to it often!
From Nene Komochi's Twitter.A song you can both have fun with and cry to—pure "Zenkimi" spirit at full blast![]()
From Muku's Twitter.There are so~ many great lines in the lyrics that I can relate to, and the music keeps changing, making it so much fun
This song is exciting both when you listen to it and when you sing it, and I love it so much ૮ ⸝⸝ʚ̴̶̷̷ ‧̫ ʚ̴̶̷̷⸝⸝ ა
From Hino Hikari's Twitter.Rhythmic music and lyrics in the spirit of "Zenkimi."
It feels like you can sense both our present and future in it—I hope you listen to it often
Devour it completely.
The concept of the release, as expressed on the obi of the CD.Just accept it completely.
I look at you with a pure heart, so please, let me stay in this endless dream.
Until we find an answer for the two of us, not just for one.
From the group's official Twitter.A song where fierceness takes a back seat to the heartfelt power of emotions and the strength of the heart.
The last of the three monthly releases—a song that softly yet powerfully expresses the emotions welling up deep in the heart.
From Kisaragi Megumi's Twitter.We've already been performing it at concerts—the melody carrying such heavy lyrics and the song’s intense progression...
This track really hits you straight in the heart.
From Mei Yui Mei's Twitter.Very heavy, but confidently turning your gaze forward, fragile, yet strong—a song that only "Zenkimi" could sing! I poured so many of my feelings into it, and I’d be happy if it became a special song for you, too.
"Zenkimi" can now sing songs like this! I want you to listen and feel it!
Both in the recording and live![]()
From Nene Komochi's Twitter.When I sing it, it feels like it pierces right through my heart—it’s a heavy, very heavy song, but I love it so much!![]()
From Muku's Twitter.It's a slow song, and it's very heavy, but it overflows with so many emotions.
Let’s stay in this endless dream.
I’m so happy that there are already many people who love this song૮ ⸝⸝ʚ̴̶̷̷ ‧̫ ʚ̴̶̷̷⸝⸝ ა
Please, listen to it often!
A song that is heavy in both sound and lyrics.
Not alone, but together with you—I’ll stay with you and keep singing this song with care, pouring my feelings into it.
I hope you listen to it often(っᴖ˛ᴖc)![]()
The heaviness, the weakness, the strength—this music and these words sing about how we live here, connected through Zenbu Kimi no Sei da.
I hope this song becomes important not just to "Zenkimi," but to you too!!ᖛ ̫ ᖛ )![]()
From Hino Hikari's Twitter.I want to be with you, I want to be here—I will sing this song with care, pouring all these strong emotions into it.
From Kisaragi Megumi's Twitter.This was my tenth birthday since I joined Zenbu Kimi no Sei da!
I’m truly grateful that I can still spend such joyful moments and days.
Thank you so much to everyone who cherishes me in this place so dear to me!
I was so happy!
I’ll sleep well and keep this happiness inside me forever~♡
The concept of the YamikawaIMRAD album, as expressed on the obi of the CD.Introduction, development, climax, and conclusion of morbid cuteness!
What exactly is morbid cuteness? Here is the anatomical atlas of "morbid cuteness" in the style of Zenbu Kimi no Sei da!
Ten tracks packed with chaotic sound—this is our welcoming declaration of war!
The concept of the Anima Animus Paradox album, as expressed on the obi of the CD.Both girls and boys are unfathomable, and that’s what makes them so adorable.
The boy inside you, the girl inside you—
Isn’t that the contradictory chaos that makes us human?
The concept of the Egoistic Eat Issues album, as expressed on the obi of the CD.You and I are always so selfish and contradictory.
As if we’re just messing around, but we’re serious. As if we’re laughing, but we’re crying.
The only thing we can do is have fun in these days of contradictions.
From Mary Lust's Twitter."FLYASDUST" is a song that we, "Tefutefu," sing while pouring all of our indescribable love for you, the "Mirages," into our voices.
You, who are so infinitely dear to me, and this place...
This is what I want to dedicate my whole self to, so please be at ease and trust me.
From Chimura Shifumi's Twitter.A story of what was and what will be.
The clock hands that have begun to move will not stop again.
I will not let them stop.
A fan's observation, retweeted by the official codomomental account.When the four of them sing "Please, give me everything" in the chorus, it feels reminiscent of how ZKS sings in "coyubi," "Stake your pinky on it."
Also, Tefu singing in "FLYASDUST," "Soar above all heights," and ZKS singing in "Sleeping Dirty," "Fall with me," appear as two sides of the same coin in the current codomomental, celebrating its tenth anniversary.
The concept of the release, as expressed on the obi of the CD.I am too helpless...
From Mei Yui Mei's Twitter.This song makes my heart ache with pain, yet it is a powerful song that proclaims farewell to a weaker self. A heavy sound and heavy lyrics in the true NSLE style. I will continue to sing it with care, so that it can become a song capable of saving you.
From Higaminari Yuchiomi's Twitter.Every time I sing it, I feel it resonate with me, and my heart tightens in my chest.
I want you to listen to it as well, paying attention to the lyrics️
From Yuzuriha Ouhi's Twitter.True strength is when you can show your weakness.
When I sing this song, it resonates within me every time.
From Kisaragi Megumi's Twitter.The first single, "GENESIS," was filled with a passionate thirst, whereas "VanilLament" is a song where the desire to change a lamenting self is more prominent.
This is a song that will pierce through you ☪︎
From Enma's Twitter.For me, this song became something truly important, making me cherish USHIMITSU even more.
Listen to it with your heart.
From Aira's Twitter."USOTSUKI" is out!!!
I contributed a little to writing its lyrics.
A lot of different emotions—both bright and dark—are embedded in it, so I think any interpretation of it is valid!
Listen to it often----![]()
From Nan's Twitter.This song was created quite recently, yet it stirs up such strong emotions—when I sing it, I honestly almost cry.
This is a song I want to continue cherishing!
I want you to listen to it no matter what!!!
From 404ERROR's Twitter.u66F2u3001u8074u3044u3066u308BuFF1F?
From Hashiba Takanari's Twitter.The first of two monthly releases. We all thought about the lyrics together, reflecting on phrases—this is a song we created together.
Though I’m nominally the producer, in reality, I work alongside everyone as an ordinary member. And in doing so, we created our first release together.
So, please, listen to "USOTSUKI."
From Kisaragi Megumi's Twitter.During COVID, as we thought about what we could do to make people happy, we began holding online concerts.
Back then, despite all the difficulties, we experimented through trial and error together with everyone who was with us at the time. And although we are now once again performing across the country, we continue to hold online concerts as well. Thanks to this, people abroad and those who truly cannot attend our live shows can still watch them, and I am very happy about that.
Thank you to everyone who watched us today, as well as those who came to the show.
In this installment, you will learn what made Ema Amajiki stand out among all the other newcomers during her debut performance in the "supergroup" iteration of KAQRIYOTERROR, as well as the unfortunately unrealized potential she possessed. You will also find out how Sagara "Hide Bite The Sun" Tsuzura managed to get by in the modern world without mastering the most basic smartphone skills, and how interestingly she fit into the concept of futatsuna. The article also delves into what lies beyond the well-known surface persona of Tademaru Ichiren and what "a quality that’s characteristic of people in codomomental" she has; the incredible, unconscious strength that Yui Urari radiates and what troubles her the most, and much more."The producer told her that if she simply wanted to become an idol, it would be better not to do it through our company."
I think this article will be the last one in this series. Does that mean I'll write about four members at once? Yes, that's exactly what I plan to do. On a side note, I want to mention that time flies so fast—it's already September 2024. I barely blinked, and September arrived... It's even a bit scary. This summer stands out in my memory as unbearably hot (and the hot days continue), but how was your summer? As for codomomental INC, Zenbu Kimi no Sei da began a new tour, starting from scratch, TOKYO TEFUTEFU also embarked on a new tour, Not Secured, Loose Ends held a release tour, and of course, other groups have been working hard as well.
Good morning, everyone, this is GESSHIRUI. Today, as part of the third installment in the "New Generation" series, I’d like to talk about the new members of codomomental INC. As I mentioned earlier, this is a series of articles, so if you're curious to learn more about the newcomers, I'd be delighted if you checked out the first (English translation) and second (English translation) parts as well.
The article that originally inspired me to write this series is the one about the leaders of the current codomomental INC groups (English translation). And I wouldn't say much has changed since its publication—they continue to give it their all every day (though this doesn’t mean others aren’t working hard too). They come up with plans, voice ideas, implement them, and stay behind to finish work when everyone else has left—I've personally witnessed all of this in just the past few days. This was especially evident when Typhoon No. 10 caused performances to be canceled, but they still made efforts to entertain their fans across the country. As always, I hold deep respect for all the leaders.
Well, this wraps up the introductory part of the article. Since this is the final installment of the series, today I’ll talk about four individuals. It’s quite challenging to decide where to start, though the order doesn’t really matter. Please proceed only if you’re genuinely interested.
Let only tender feelings flow through the tips of our touching fingers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef5f6DRLSXIThe stars, as if jealous of the warmth we share,
Seem to have turned entirely into a sea.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9herXfn7TJsCan my hand enfold you, embracing your dismay, and swallow your pain, with a word of love?
I’ll say it over and over,
Even if my voice breaks and turns to a rasp:
Your eyes, your voice, your hands, your passion, every last part of you—
Give me everything.
The release concept, as expressed on the obi of the CD.Hey, I'll say it over and over:
Your eyes, your voice, your hands, your passion, every last part of you—give me everything.
From Yuzuriha Ouhi's Twitter.A song that brings tears to my eyes.
A song that will shape our future.
From Mary Lust's Twitter.Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. A whole year has passed, and now we are releasing our first single with this lineup.
Everything we built together with the "Mirages" over these past four years—we poured it all, every last bit, into this song that is so dear to our hearts.
The determination to move forward toward a great future is already burning within us.
After a year, we are finally releasing our first single as a four-piece.
We are the ones who paint our future. And what it becomes is up to us.
Let's turn what once seemed like an impossible dream into reality.
No longer do we wander through this city that lies between dreams and reality—we move forward.
It's like the very way we live.
If you listened to this song and felt even a little of what I feel, then I can say with certainty—my life is not in vain.
From Chimura Shifumi's Twitter.Perhaps loving your own songs isn't something to be taken for granted.
After all, my life has been a series of miracles.
Let's never let go of anything,
Together.
May this song be cherished—
Now and forever.
From Kagari Kohaku Sekai's Twitter.I put all my feelings and determination toward you, the "Mirages," into this song.
I hope you accept themᐡ> ̫ <ᐡ!!
Nobuhide Imamura: This is just... TOKYO TEFUTEFU, exactly as they are!
Everyone: (Laughs).
Nobuhide Imamura: How come you were like that?
Everyone: How? We have no idea!
Nobuhide Imamura: Right? You wanted to be loved more than anyone else, but you didn’t understand how to love properly, isn’t that so?
Mary Lust: Plus, it’s interesting why all of us were like that, without exception.
Yuzuriha Ouhi: We didn’t understand, yeah.
Nobuhide Imamura: Right? It’s like you were bound by some kind of barrier, isn’t it?
Everyone: We were!
Chimura Shifumi: I realize that. I put up a barrier myself.
Nobuhide Imamura: Really!
Chimura Shifumi: Like, "Don’t come any closer!"
Nobuhide Imamura: Yeah! You know, this is something... I really wish the people who support TOKYO TEFUTEFU would understand the most. Because I think among the people who support TOKYO TEFUTEFU—Or rather, you could even say among the people who support codomomental—there are just so many like this.
Everyone: Yeah...
Nobuhide Imamura: Those who want to be loved but don’t know how to love properly...
Yuzuriha Ouhi: Achoo!
Nobuhide Imamura: Hey, I was in the middle of saying something really good...
Yuzuriha Ouhi: My bad, couldn't hold it in!
Everyone: (Laughs).
Nobuhide Imamura: People who lament, don’t lament!
Let me remind you that I have translated two recent interviews with the group, in which their new release is also discussed in great detail.Nobuhide Imamura: So, tell me your impressions when you first received the song.
Mary Lust: All this time, I really wanted a new song for the four of us as soon as possible.
Nobuhide Imamura: Ah, you mentioned that in the interview!
Mary Lust: Yes, I did! First and foremost, I just wanted it to come out soon, but no matter how many times I asked, "When? When?", the answer was always, "Not yet!"
Nobuhide Imamura: Yep, I kept saying that!
Mary Lust: You did! So when I finally got it, honestly, my first reaction was just pure joy—that we finally had a song that could express who we are right now—"This is TOKYO TEFUTEFU!"
Nobuhide Imamura: And what about the others?
Chimura Shifumi: I was also like, "Oh, finally, a song for the four of us!" But then when I got the lyrics and read them... Lately, you know, TOKYO TEFUTEFU have been a bit... bold.
Nobuhide Imamura: Bold?!
Everyone: (Laughs).
Chimura Shifumi: Well, kind of assertive, like, "Come on, follow us!"
Nobuhide Imamura: Ahh!
Chimura Shifumi: I felt like there was quite a lot of that.
Nobuhide Imamura: Yeah?
Chimura Shifumi: Yeah, that’s how it seemed to me.
Nobuhide Imamura: (Thoughtfully) Hmmm...
Chimura Shifumi: But when I first read the lyrics to "FLYASDUST," I saw that they also reflected our weaknesses, this desire to be loved—even things that are a bit embarrassing to expose to everyone. And I realized that I had to sing this song with more honesty and sincerity than anything I had ever sung before.
Everyone: (Agrees).
Chimura Shifumi: And I also burst into tears.
Everyone: (Laughs).
Yuzuriha Ouhi: Even before I got the lyrics, when I just received the demo, I remember I was in the office with Chimu, and we sat there listening to it together. Remember?
Chimura Shifumi: I remember!
Yuzuriha Ouhi: Yeah, and we were like, "Wow, what a great song! We can’t wait to perform it!" We just kept talking about it. And I thought, "I wonder what the lyrics will be like?" I was really looking forward to them, and when they finally arrived, ah... Just reading those words, my eyes were already welling up. And when I heard the final result—when I heard how everyone sang it—I thought, "This song turned out amazing! Everything fits together so perfectly!" And I couldn’t wait to perform it live.
Kagari Kohaku Sekai: When I got the lyrics, I felt that they were very straightforward—that conveying them wouldn’t be difficult. Like, these words would surely resonate with everyone’s hearts, and I decided that I would sing them with all my strength.
From Chimura Shifumi’s Twitter.“Ah, so that's what this line is about!”—these moments of realization, as well as many places that make you think, “Yeah, I get it!”... All these four years are completely packed into this—I realize it again.
Every time I sing it, I become stronger, and surely, every time I pour my feelings into it, I will cry.
I picture myself performing this song on a big stage over and over again.
What about you?
From Mary Lust’s Twitter.With these solo songs, we have laid ourselves bare before you, down to the deepest depths of our souls. This is the proof of our existence here. May it reach countless hands, eyes, and hearts.
When you delve into the meaning of the lyrics and the stories behind them, music becomes even more fascinating.
To be honest, listening to the stories behind the others' songs, I almost cried.
Each of us has kept moving forward, never stopping to do our best, and that's exactly why these songs are even more precious to my heart.
This is the treasure of my life.
From Chimura Shifumi’s Twitter.Whenever I perform my solo song, I always sing with the determination to lay everything bare—my painful past, my precious present, and the future I envision in my mind.
And although I still can't accept my past self, if one day I am able to embrace it along with everything else, perhaps an entirely new landscape will unfold before me.
From Kagari Kohaku Sekai’s Twitter.Thank you for watching the stream
Thanks to the director, I learned so many new things I never knew before
Also, so much about me was revealed that it was embarrassing...
But maybe you’ll accept me like this too?......っ ̫ -˘
I want to keep singing "eclipse" over and over again![]()
In the continuation, the lyricist discusses the essence and significance of those who fall into this "intermediate" category, reflects on the negative aspects of the current era, where individuality of artists takes center stage, and reveals the unique role of Kagari Kohaku Sekai—also touching on her unexpected side and "the fascination of the girl that goes far beyond just that." The article also explains why the author believes that Kagari's fans are truly lucky people and delves into the artistic imagery and techniques used in her solo song to express all these interesting aspects of her personality."Those who support Kagari Kohaku Sekai are bound to be happy."
I think there are two main types of people you select during auditions. The first is when you immediately feel something in a person and say, "Found her!" The second is when you think, "Maybe she would fit this group." While the first option may sound more appealing at first, in reality, it feels like people of the second type tend to stay with us longer. Though that’s just my personal impression. That’s why the producer almost never says, "I’ve found such an amazing person!" In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say anything like that. Why this happens—I might explain below or in another article, but for now, let’s get back to the topic. Besides these two categories, there is yet another one—people who don’t fit into either.
Lately, I’ve wanted to balance writing articles with working on projects, but it seems I’m not that skilled. With my current approach—where I try to create something while also consuming information at the same time—it’s especially difficult. I write about 2,000 characters and leave them as drafts, intending to build up a collection of articles, but when the right moment comes to finalize them, I suddenly realize: "Ah, maybe I don’t really want to write about this after all." So there’s a high chance that these 2,000-character articles will die off one by one. I hate my own nature.
Well, today I want to talk about “eclipse,” a solo song by Kagari Kohaku Sekai from TOKYO TEFUTEFU’s EP of solo songs, “IIIIly.”
TOKYO TEFUTEFU was formed, I believe, in late 2020. And among the members at the time, Kagari Kohaku Sekai particularly stood out because of her unusual name. When I first saw her, I thought, "I see…" even though I didn’t actually understand what exactly I was seeing (laughs). This might come as a surprise to some, but when the producer chooses names for the members (this also applies to song titles), he's not trying to show off at all—often, they emerge quite naturally. You might be surprised, and I know people say they can’t read most of the codomomental members’ names or song titles, but we actually approach this with sincere feelings. And often, when you line them up, they seem quite normal. But even among all that, her name stood out blatantly. People often ask where her last name ends and her first name begins, but at some point, I stopped wondering about it. Somehow, it started to feel silly (laughs). Well, the following text is for those who are genuinely interested.
From Mary Lust's Instagram.The year passed in the blink of an eye, yet even so, whenever I look back, different memories come flooding in each time. Simply by continuing to live here, I have gained so many things that are so important to me. And though I am still here, all I can do is watch the silhouettes disappear into the distance, feeling helpless. Over and over again. It turns out that what’s important doesn’t always stay with you forever. You lose it, you forget… Ah… You even forget that you forgot. I’m sick of these shallow emotions.
Now and always, I will believe in what I have believed in, love what I have loved, and, holding it all close, I will soar.
And nothing else.
Higaminari Yuchiomi: GESSHIRUI-san also wrote about this in his blog (English translation), so it’s not like I’ve been hiding it, but in elementary school, I often uploaded my vocal covers on Nico Nico Douga. I really loved Vocaloid songs, so I wanted to create them myself. Do you know programs like UTAU? Or Vocaloid3? When I found out that I could use them to create Vocaloid songs with my own voice, I worked really hard on it, but since I was in elementary school at the time, of course, none of the data has survived.
So yes, I want to become a Vocaloid. Because if I become a Vocaloid, even if one day I can no longer sing, songs will still be performed with my voice. And then I will leave the stage and become a farmer or a baker. That’s my dream (laughs).
From Higaminari Yuchiomi’s Twitter.I'm here not just by chance, but with immense determination towards my activities, and I’m sure the same goes for Tademaru and Shiro.
I want to convey this to you, and I’ll do everything I can to make the tour finale—our first solo concert—an absolute success
We’re going to grow like crazy!️
From Tsukumo Romi’s Twitter.The first tour of my life.
I want to show you, in full detail, everything I’ve managed to grow in₍ᵔー̀wー́ᵔ₎
7 cities, 9 shows — in each of them, we, KAQRIYOTERROR, will put all our strength to reach you, so please accept it.
From Tademaru Ichiren’s Twitter.The first KAQRIYOTERROR (幽世脅嚇) tour!
I want to cherish every concert and give it my all!
Step by step, improving every day, the three of us will confidently evolve
I want to have a great time with all of you > ̫<
A few days later, the girls held another livestream, where, together with the viewers, they thought about a goal they could strive for as a group. In the end, they set their sights on the Yoyogi National Gymnasium (with a capacity of around 13,000 people) as their ultimate goal. Subsequently, they also plan to set intermediate goals that will lead them toward it. The members also emphasized that the ultimate goal does not mean the end of their journey, because:Tademaru Ichiren: Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my individuality. What makes me unique? How should I present myself properly? I’ve had so many doubts, searched, tried different things… But I feel like I’m finally starting to understand. I’m learning how to showcase myself better, and though I only have a general idea for now, I want to use this tour to reveal my individuality even more.
I want to refine my vocals, and step by step, step by step, keep growing, so I want you to see everything—every one of our performances.
There are people who love the previous KAQRIYOTERROR, but I want you to fully see what the group is like now as well. I want you to love both the past and the present KAQRIYOTERROR.
We are heading to different corners of the country to meet you, YOMIHITO, so please come to our concerts! We will never make you regret it, so please, come! We’ll be waiting for you!
Tsukumo Romi: Lately, I feel like I’ve been in a bit of a meditative state. But little by little, step by step, I’m adjusting how I should be on stage and how to present myself properly—when I should act a certain way, when I should be cute, when I should be cool, and so on. I keep adjusting and challenging myself! So, there might be times when you think, "Huh? Tsukumo doesn’t seem like herself today," but I’m taking on challenges in many different ways and want to show you many different sides of myself, so I’ll do my best!
Tademaru Ichiren: Many new sides of you, right? Because the audience will be able to see a different you than in futatsuna.
Tsukumo Romi: Exactly!
Higaminari Yuchiomi: Really, we take on new challenges at every single concert, so maybe they'll all be different from each other.
Tsukumo Romi: Yeah, like, "Whoa, today you all are way too intense!"
Higaminari Yuchiomi: But that’s exactly how growth happens.
Tademaru Ichiren: It’s important. Mistakes happen too, but they are mistakes made in order to succeed!
Higaminari Yuchiomi: I want to keep challenging myself and growing.
Tsukumo Romi: So we’re coming to you, and I hope that you will, in turn, accept all these different sides of me and enjoy everything—please!
All: Please!
Higaminari Yuchiomi: This is Yuchiomi! To be honest, even though I’m the leader of KAQRIYOTERROR, I still wonder if I’m really good enough for this role. Sometimes I think, "Am I really acting like a leader?"
Tademaru Ichiren: You are!
Higaminari Yuchiomi: Thank you. That’s something that worries me—I very often feel like I’m not managing it at all (Ichiren shakes her head), and it frustrates me. Even during yesterday’s show, I kept thinking, "I’m not able to lead everyone properly" (Ichiren shakes her head). That’s why, during this tour, I want to become someone who can confidently lead everyone as a leader… I want to learn how to create amazing concerts as a leader, working together with the strength that Ichiren and Shiro bring. Yes, I want this tour to be my chance to grow as a leader.
Also, as a personal goal, I want to take on various challenges to find new ways of expressing myself, different from those I use in NSLE.
And I don’t know if YOMIBITO will come to our concerts in different cities…
Tademaru Ichiren: Please come!
Higaminari Yuchiomi: I’d love for them to come, but surely, YOMIBITO have many different feelings, and there are many people who have decided not to. But the three of us are going to put on concerts that will make the YOMIBITO who did decide to come think, "Ah, why not become YOMIHITO?" (laughs). And for that, I will give my all! So please, come have fun with us!
From Muku’s Twitter.It was such a wonderful day, I smiled so much and felt so happyI hope I was able to make you super happy too
I will continue to do my best in my second year
Please keep loving "Zenkimi" forever ૮ ⸝⸝ʚ̴̶̷̷ ‧̫ ʚ̴̶̷̷⸝⸝ ა
