On the morning of January 13, a car carrying TOKYO TEFUTEFU members was involved in an accident. By January 14th, when the official announcement was made, the girls had already been treated at the hospital and have been recovering at home ever since.1 As a result, the group’s upcoming shows (including the tour finale) have been canceled/postponed, and Not Secured, Loose Ends is performing as a three-piece for the time being. The performances of louplull and Futatsuna at “The Order Vol.5” event on February 16th have also been cancelled.
I apologize for shocking you with this sudden news. Although there are some injuries, we are all fine! To everyone who made room for us in their schedules – I’m very sorry. We’ll recover and be back together as soon as possible, so please wait a little longer.2
But still, I’m frustrated. But I know that these feelings of frustration will be my strength, so I hope you will continue to look forward to our tour finale.3

I am so happy that everyone is alive.
I will work hard to heal myself so that I can come back and sing, dance and laugh again.
Our dear “Mirages,” I know where you were going to meet us and I was really looking forward to it too! I’m sorry I can’t perform right now.
I’m going to try to recover, so even though I might unknowingly make you miss me, I’ll be watching the house for a while! Be good boys and girls🍚4
I know you’ve been really looking forward to these shows. I was so excited to meet you, I’m feeling lonely, so until I see you again, tell me more about your life! Tell me you’re doing well!6

I apologize for shocking you with this sudden news. Everyone is alive~~~ Don’t worry!
I’m looking forward to doing a hot show with you all again, but for now I’d like to focus on my recovery. I’ll be back here as soon as I recover, so wait for me ╭(.-.╭ )╮7
On the days I don’t see you, I don’t even know if it’s morning or evening, I miss you all so much!8

Sorry for worrying you all. I’m going to rest now so that I can meet you all again as soon as possible(っ ̫ ; ˘) Everyone is alive and I’m fine too! ✊🏻 I’d be happy if you could wait for me.9

Instead of the group’s tour finale, Seireki13ya’s solo concert was held, where the girls performed a cover of “zaniness.”10
Before that, Chimura Shifumi posted a small fragment of her cover of the song “Konton Boogie” (jon-YAKITORY, Hatsune Miku-):
The colors of the newcomers (keep in mind that I may have misheard, and it’s also possible that there are some complicated kanji plays that can’t be understood without context and additional details): “the color of the setting sun” (落日色?), “pale color” (淡い色?), “the color of drowning” (おぼれ色?).
RISA, the drummer of the “Zenkimi Band,” has decided to limit her drumming activities in concern for the health of her legs.11 However, she doesn’t mind playing small sets of a few songs from time to time.12
There is my translation of a very funny fragment of the New Year’s Eve livestream where the newcomers of Futatsuna and louplull talk about what they think about their senpais. I think this video will not only give you a fun time, but also give you a pretty good impression of the personalities of the newcomers:
We are in the same group, so honorific expressions are forbidden❕ Although we don’t have seniors or juniors in “Tefutefu,” so I can’t imagine how difficult it is. It probably won’t be easy for Memechi for a while~
Big sis Nonno will do her best! I look forward to a future where Memechi will be loved by many people🍚🤍13

Meanwhile, Seireki13ya has added another new song to their live repertoire.14 The group has now performed three unreleased songs live.
