Nonamera’s first mini-album was released on August 10, but as many have probably noticed, it is still not available on streaming platforms. Nonamera’s twitter revealed that the digital release will arrive on August 17.
According to information from online stores, there will be a music video for “FearLess,” and syva, Nobuhide Imamura and HyperVideo2 are listed as the mini-album’s songwriters.
The first (and apparently not the last) online release event marking the release of the mini-album is scheduled for August 26 at 7:00 PM (JST).
Meanwhile, Zenbu Kimi no Sei da started their massive nationwide tour on their way to Budokan. And the first show of the tour was notable because it was the first time since the first coronavirus restrictions were introduced that fans were finally allowed to sing along, albeit with a number of restrictions. And for Motochika Kasane and Shizuku Fufu, it was the first concert where they could hear fan’s voices.
Our tour of the 47 prefectures on our way to Budokan has begun! First day in Gifu!! I could hear your voices echoing – what a long time you have endured, thank you. I was even more fulfilled with the feeling that we were all rushing towards Budokan together, and the tears just wouldn’t stop flowing. Thank you!
From Kisaragi Megumi’s Twitter.
Thank you so much for letting me hear your voices, it was incredible, I even thought I wouldn’t mind dying here, I’ll never forget the first time I heard your voices
From Motochika Kasane’s Twitter.
Finally a start! The first step on the road to Budokan started with your voices. I was so excited to hear them for the first time that I couldn’t hold back the tears~( ･ ･̥ )
It was an incredible show and it’s still just beginning.ᐟ
From Shizuku Fufu’s Twitter.
A short behind-the-scenes video of the show was posted on the group’s twitter, which ends with a snippet of fans from the audience singing the chorus of the group’s main hit:
And, as you may have already noticed, the group also presented new outfits. Unfortunately, there’s no a proper photo of the whole group in the new outfits yet, but you can get a very good look at them in another video from twitter:

The post about Seireki13ya’s ongoing audition appeared again on the group’s twitter. Meanwhile, August 12 marked exactly one year since the group went into hiatus. On this occasion, Nene Komochi tweeted out a small snippet of her singing of the song “Sekaisengoto” from the group’ s very first release:
Since that day, I’ve been thinking about “Seireki” every day.
Thank you for continuing to wait for Seireki13ya all this time!!!
The audition continues. You – who loves “Seireki” and wants to put your best foot forward here, I’m waiting for you
From Nene Komochi’s Twitter.
Unfortunately, it was revealed a little later that Komochi will miss two shows up until tonight because of feeling unwell. The rest of the members and staff are reportedly feeling fine, so let’s hope she gets back to normal quickly.
There was also a DJ event titled “ayheterodoxy sect 5.” Previous such events have taken place online, but this time it was a real life event. Members of Zenbu Kimi no Sei da and TOKYO TEFUTEFU, as well as Ama Mauru, acted as DJs. Most of the performances were themed, with Kisaragi Megumi and Yuzuriha Ouhi picking a setlist of songs from their favorite TV shows and movies, Mei Yui Mei and Nene Komochi chose anime, Tokanai Nonno and Kagari KohakuSekai chose games, Kotetsu was in charge of idols and so on.
Here you can see a snippet of the joint DJ performance of Kisaragi Megumi and Yuzuriha Ouhi:
Even though the event wasn’t streamed, you have a chance to check out the songs from the event, as the members tweeted out the set lists of their performances. For more convenience, I created Spotify playlists, which you can find below.
Unfortunately, Motochika Kasane has not posted the set list of her performance and a number of songs are simply not available on Spotify (but they are listed in the playlists’ descriptions).
