codomomental bulletin #62

On March 10th, the finale of the Not Secured, Loose Ends tour was held, where the group performed two more of Yukueshirezutsurezure’s old hits, “Plays with Nietzsche” and “REDERA” for the first time.1

On March 11, an offline Zenbu Kimi no Sei da conversation event was held with Kisaragi Megumi, Mei Yui Mei, and Nene Komochi.2 It was also streamed online, and below are some interesting facts about the new members that were discussed there.

The first of the new members to show up for the audition was Muku. She started practicing with the group in December. In describing her, the members once again note that her easygoing, “fluffy” behavior is in stark contrast to her singing. She sings very well (which is also true of the other newcomers), has a “strong voice,” and also the nature of her singing varies considerably from song to song.

Muku-muku, as usual, is doing her best with us today on different things!
The sight of her is so soothing. When I see Muku trying hard, I’m filled with happiness myself ☪︎3

From Kisaragi Megumi’s Twitter.

Muku, the color of bubbles/foam (`・ω・’)
She is so cute, both in her movements and her voice, but she also has a strong singing voice and is a great dancer(`・ω・ω・´)4

From Mei Yui Mei’s Twitter.

Muku~✨✨✨✨
Cute in her movements and sounds!
She sings very well, she has a strong voice!
And when she laughs, her huge eyes just disappear!5

From Nene Komochi’s Twitter.

Nice to meet you! 🫧Pue〜
I’m a new member, the color of bubbles/foam🫧 Muku(っ’^’c)🍼
I want to show everything I’m capable of here, both cool and cute! Please love me completely! 👶🏻🫶🏻6

I will do my best!
I will give you lots of love〜👶🏻🫶🏻

Love me, okay? 🩵7

From Muku’s Twitter.

Latte appeared in the second half of the audition. Despite the character for “tears” in her name, she is more the type of person who doesn’t cry. Her singing is described as “beautiful” and “skillful” by the members. She is able to skillfully convey cuteness in cute songs and strong emotions in emotional songs.

Latte!
When you talk to her, she changes dramatically: she can be focused, she can be silly (laughs), she can be cute, she can be cool…
Embrace her different expressions and words! All of you ☪︎8

From Kisaragi Megumi’s Twitter.

Latte, the color of drowning(`・ω・´)
She loves to sing(`・ω・´)
And there’s a mysterious charm about her that makes you involuntarily sink into her world(`・ω・´)9

From Mei Yui Mei’s Twitter.

Latte! The color of drowning suits her so well💖
I’m already drowning in her transparent, beautiful singing…💭🎤✨

When I was having a latte at the cafe, she exclaimed: “Ah! That’s Latte!” and it was so cute, this is a cute episode for you 🫶🏻10

From Nene Komochi’s Twitter.

Nice to meet you♡( ‘ ‘ )♡
I’m a new member, the color of drowning, Miruru Latte💘
I want to drown the whole world in bittersweet latte.。.・゚・-!
I’ll give you a lot of joy🚗⸒⸒⸒
I’ll do my best, so let’s meet soon ᕷ-͜- ︎︎-︎11

Accept my love.
Drown in it, okay?12

From Miruru Latte’s Twitter.

Hikari is a girl with very good manners, and members describe her as a very sincere person with very sincere singing. She is not afraid to ask questions and say that she is not good at something. She is a determined person, thinks a lot about different things, cries a lot out of frustration, and is very emotional – emotions just pour out of her.

Hikari~!
She tries desperately and is filled with the desire to reach out to everyone! See Hikari trying desperately to reach out to you ☪︎13

From Kisaragi Megumi’s Twitter.

Hikari, the color of the setting sun(`・ω・´)
She radiates the feeling of frustration unusually strongly(`・ω・ω・´)! And always shows a lot of emotion(`・ω・・´)14

From Mei Yui Mei’s Twitter.

Hika~🔆✨💥

Always trying her best! With all her strength! You can feel the codomomental spirit in her✨✨✨.

She shows a lot of smiles as well as tears and everyone is sure to love her a lot!15

From Nene Komochi’s Twitter.

Nice to meet you!
I’m the new member of Zenbu Kimi no Sei da, the color of the setting sun – Hino Hikari__🔆__

I will try my best to become a light that can embrace you all. Please support me!16

From now on, as part of “Zenkimi,” I will try hard and grow to bring a lot of happiness to the lives of our “patients” ➰!17

From Hino Hikari’s Twitter.

Hikari also loves moba games.18

On March 15th, Zenbu Kimi no Sei da returned with the new lineup and held a solo concert at CLUB CITTA’.

I want to see everyone again, and I want to move forward again with new feelings, striving for my dreams again, together with you.

I’m back.19

It’s been a while since you’ve seen Zenbu Kimi no Sei da, hasn’t it?
Even though it’s been a while, I vividly felt that these songs and the voices of the “patients” are part of my body and soul.

I will move forward with excitement with you and our members to make Zenbu Kimi no Sei da an important place of life for everyone.

Thank you to all who came.

“Zenkimi” is coming back!20

From Kisaragi Megumi’s Twitter.

Thank you to all the “patients” who came!(`・ω・´)
Yesterday I vividly felt how much this place is dear and important to me!
From now on, we will start moving forward again, so I hope to have your support! (`・ω・´)
I hope we can continue to have a lot of fun together!21

From Mei Yui Mei’s Twitter.

Zenbu Kimi no Sei da is back! ✡️
Thank you so much to everyone who came💚⚡️

It was a fun, exciting and happy restart. From now on the six of us will try our best and I hope we can have more fun together💭🔥🔥🔥

I love Zenkimi!!!🦖🦕✡️💚22

From Nene Komochi’s Twitter.

On March 15, right before the show, everyone was crying and there was kindness all around. And I remembered, “Ahh, Zenbu Kimi no Sei da have always been like that.” They gathered in a circle and cried, and everyone else watching also cried. Then they walked onto the stage smiling. My heart squeezed, “This is all Zenbu Kimi no Sei da.”23

From GESSHIRUI’s Twitter.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET OUR INDEPENDENT WILL, WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON CONQUERING THE WORLD BECAUSE WE ARE YAMIKAWAII.24

You can also see a lot of great photos from the concert on this account:

The reboot of “Zenkimi” was marked by the announcement of a joint codomomental tour with Zenbu Kimi no Sei da, Seireki13ya, TOKYO TEFUTEFU, Not Secured, Loose Ends, Futatsuna, and another group whose name was withheld.25 The tour will kick off on April 6 and will include concerts in 11 cities, with an online performance scheduled for April 24. The tour will end on May 5, and Zenbu Kimi no Sei da will begin a major tour on May 6, which will include 53 concerts in 26 cities and will end at the end of September.26

On March 16, TOKYO TEFUTEFU held Mary Lust’s birthday show, where the birthday girl performed her solo song. Earlier, the group’s official Twitter account had announced that Tokanai Nonno had not recovered from the injury and would not be able to perform at the concert.27 As a result, the group performed as a four-piece.

Every concert is unique, it changes depending on our feelings.
I’ve been thinking about a lot of different things this month, and that’s why I really let it all out on stage today.
I thought about how I want to appreciate everything, the good and the bad.
I was also happy that you all, even though you all had such different times and experiences, shouted, “We’ve been waiting for you!” You poured everything out.
We were so different, but we were one. Even though there are so many of us.
I think that kind of unity is only possible in concerts.
Today is unique, but that’s why I want to thank you for choosing this day to come to us.
Your feelings have reached me, completely.
I want to continue to create these moments with you, step by step.28

From Mary Lust’s Twitter.

March 16th. In spite of everything, a stage full of frenzy and an audience that supports it at all costs – it was a show like hellfire, which without any doubt makes it possible to declare: “This is exactly how codomomental perform.” Burning themselves to ashes in every song and rising again in every song. TOKYO TEFUTEFU, you were unbelievably cool.29

As for Mary Lust’s solo song, this time I didn’t have time and I was in such a difficult mental state that I didn’t even know if I could write it, but it ended up being an excellent song that I’m willing to take to my grave. Literally an excellent song.30

From GESSHIRUI’s Twitter.

The next day, March 17th, it was announced that Tokanai Nonno would be leaving the group.

Thank you for always supporting TOKYO TEFUTEFU, this is the group’s management.

Today we have an announcement regarding Tokanai Nonno.

After much discussion with Tokanai Nonno and all the people involved, we regret to announce that Tokanai Nonno is leaving TOKYO TEFUTEFU.

Tokanai Nonno will personally talk about her decision during a live stream in the next few days. The decision was made after a discussion with Tokanai Nonno, also considering her injury. We are very sorry that she will not be able to participate in concerts and other events, but we ask for your understanding.

We hope that you will continue to support TOKYO TEFUTEFU and Tokanai Nonno.

TOKYO TEFUTEFU Management.31

The official statement.

I know you’ve been waiting for me, I’m sorry.
I’m leaving TOKYO TEFUTEFU.
I am very sorry that I could not fulfill what our “mirages” expected.
Thank you for loving me so much for these three years.
At the very beginning of the activity, I asked myself every day, “What is my specialty?” and the only thing that came to my mind was, “My stomach is a little bigger than normal people’s, so I can eat a lot of delicious food and feel happy. But in the process of working on choreography and lyrics and being a part of the creation of the works, and seeing how my smile made people happy, I realized that if I hadn’t become Nonno, I probably never would have heard so many beautiful words.
I was so loved, I loved and I was happy.
Thank you so much.
I think that in writing all my words seem too dry to fully convey my feelings. So I would be very happy if you could watch my last livestream.32

From Tokanai Nonno’s Twitter.

Nonno is leaving TOKYO TEFUTEFU.
For three years we dreamed and moved forward together. She helped me so many times, we laughed and cried together, spent time together.
Of course, it wouldn’t be true to say that I won’t miss her. But I want her to be happy, even if it means parting ways.
Tokanai Nonno and all our memories will live on in our hearts.
I believe that we, the four of us remaining, should look forward and move on so that Nonno will be at peace.
We will definitely show Nonno how we will make our dreams come true: “Look, your favorite group has soared so high!”
I hope you will continue to support TOKYO TEFUTEFU, even if it takes a while.33 34

From Yuzuriha Ouhi’s Twitter.

Nonno is leaving TOKYO TEFUTEFU.
For the past three years, we’ve laughed, cried and quarreled together – we’ve really been together all this time, so I’m very sad. And I told you all along that we would always be together, the five of us, but it didn’t work out, I’m sorry. I realize now that by repeating those words over and over again, it’s like I was always trying to hold something back. But if Nonno has chosen this path, as someone who loves her, I want to support her.
Meeting Nonno really changed my life. So much so that I still can’t forget it.
So I am glad that these three years we have spent together in pursuit of the same dream have become such priceless memories for me.
I hope that when Nonno looks back on her time in TOKYO TEFUTEFU, she will have only wonderful memories.
I promise that I will never forget what I received from Nonno, and all of it, down to what she felt, I will surely put on my shoulders and soar to the top.
I hope you will continue to support the four of us.35

From Mary Lust’s Twitter.

Um… I just don’t know what to say.
I’m really sad and hurt.
Now that we’ve posted this, I suddenly feel like it’s all real and the tears just won’t stop.
For me, the TOKYO TEFUTEFU members are the people I’ve spent the most time with in my life, and I’ve already thought of them as my family, and I used to think that the five of us would always be together, and I relied on Nonno a lot.
Without a doubt, it was Nonno who taught me the joy of dancing and the importance of smiling.
So I would like to honor Nonno’s feelings first and foremost, the feelings of such a dear member of our group.
It’s hard for me to find the words.
I have said so many times that the five of us will always be together, but I have not been able to fulfill it. I’m sorry.
Nonno has chosen another path, but her spirit will surely live forever in my heart.
Nonno’s soul lives on in every TOKYO TEFUTEFU choreography and all these dances are beautiful and I love them so much.
Thank you for fighting with us these three years.
I will continue to dance.
I love you.36

From Chimura Shifumi’s Twitter.

Nonno is leaving TOKYO TEFUTEFU.
Nonno has really helped me in so many ways and in so many different things.
I’m so grateful to her for that (っ ̫ ; ˘)
We were together all these three years, always thinking seriously about many things and moving forward together. So I am very sad, but even though our paths diverge, I want both of us to not give up and keep moving forward.
I hope you will continue to support TOKYO TEFUTEFU.37

Sorry, I’m not good at putting my feelings into words.38

From Kagari Kohaku Sekai’s Twitter.

Nonno, thank you for all your hard work. Not only did you create great choreography, but since you’re good at dancing, you have a great sense of rhythm, and recently you also wrote lyrics and sang your solo song, thank you. And I also want to support the remaining members with all my strength.39

From syva’s Twitter.

On March 21, Nonno held an hour-long livestream on her Instagram account,40 and I tried to translate all the important moments:

It’s been a while and I was very nervous, but it was really nice to talk to you, you’re so kind.
It turned out to be such a tearful and sloppy livestream, but I’m happy that you said you love me so much.
I will always love you too⑉の ̫の⑉

Thank you for having so much fun with me these three years🤍

Eat white rice every day🍚41

From Tokanai Nonno’s Twitter.

We’ll take both your feelings and the feelings of the “mirages” on our backs, so it’s all good.
Nonno, thank you for everything and bye🥀

When you get over it and you’re in the mood, come and enjoy a TOKYO TEFUTEFU concert again.
I want this place to continue to be your place of belonging – both yours and your fans’.42

From Yuzuriha Ouhi’s Twitter.

Got it!43

Nonno’s reply to the previous tweet.

I’ll always be waiting for you🍚44

Ouhi’s reply to the previous tweet.

Keep believing in the path you’ve chosen.45

From Mary Lust’s Twitter.

No one can replace Nonno, but I will try my best for her too. I can’t leave the crying “mirages” behind and so I am filled with determination to bring you all to the edge of the dream. The people you loved and the time you cherished were not in vain and will not disappear. They are alive, right here.46

From Chimura Shifumi’s Twitter.

It was obvious how much everyone loves Nonno and how much Nonno cares about TOKYO TEFUTEFU and our “mirages.”
I’m so happy about that (っ ̫ ; ˘)47

I want to do my best, for Nonno as well.48

From Kagari Kohaku Sekai’s Twitter.

There are a lot of different feelings swirling around in my soul, and not just sadness and longing. And I still can’t put them into words. I just keep going through them and swallowing them one by one, but I know that these multiplying wounds will never heal. So the only thing left to do is to keep moving forward as before.49

From Mary Lust’s Twitter.

The finale of Seireki13ya’s tour was marked by the announcement of the group’s third album entitled “Comet Trance Sprechchchor,” which will be released on July 10.50
