codomomental bulletin #65

On May 5th, the last show of the Amanojaku tour, the company’s new group, USOTSUKINAISHO, performed for the first time. The group consists of 4 members, including louplull’s Ibu Memesu, and they only performed one song.¹

Apparently, this is a group with a cute concept, and their sound, judging by fan impressions, is sort of a softer version of “Zenkimi.” Despite the presence of Ibu Memesu, the group is being positioned as the first new codomomental group in 4 years to consist entirely of new members (although that’s essentially true, as louplull never fully debuted). Apparently this lineup is not final, as auditions are planned.²

You can see the looks of all four current members here:

日曜の成果物(1)
うそ吐生ナイショの、話し方がかなりゆったり目な、ピンク先生。もうちょっと掘り下げてみたかった、水色先生。ぐいっと距離を詰めてきた、赤色先生。推し様、目と声が印象的だった、24先生。

It has been announced that the group will be performing at joint concerts, so it can be said that USOTSUKINAISHO is already getting active.

On May 7th, it was announced that Who Runo would be leaving Seireki13ya immediately due to a serious breach of contract.

Thank you for always supporting Seireki13ya, this is the management of the group.
Today we have an announcement regarding Who Runo, who was scheduled to leave the group on May 26th. We need to inform you that Who Runo’s contract has been terminated and she has been dismissed as of today, May 7th. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by this sudden announcement to all the “Night Minions” who have supported us all this time, as well as other people involved.
After questioning her personally and the companies involved, it was discovered that although she had informed the staff of her absence due to illness for two concerts: April 27th (Saturday) – Amanojaku TOUR (Fukuoka concert) and May 5th (Sunday) – Amanojaku TOUR Finale (Tokyo concert) and explained her absence in this way not only to us but also to our fans, she was actually auditioning for another company on those two days. Considering that this was a treacherous act regarding the fulfillment of the contract, and that the other three members received a great psychological shock from this incident, we came to this decision.
Therefore, the farewell concert scheduled for May 26th will change its content and will be a presentation of the new lineup. We hope for your understanding. All tickets already booked will be canceled and we will announce new tickets later. Regarding future concerts, we have discussed future activities with the three remaining members, and they intend to continue doing their best, sincerely and with all their might, so we hope for your warm support.

Seireki13ya management.³

Official statement.

For me and for all of us in codomomental, concerts are not a trivial thing, they are life for us, and when we are on stage, what we cherish most are you – those who always support us. That’s why it’s so painful and hard for me now.
But the memories of the four of us moving forward will always be a treasure to me, and there are those among you that I have only been able to meet because of the “Seireki” that the four of us created.
“Night Minions,” Urari, Minai, I love you with all my heart, and to see your smiles again, which I adore, I will try my best once again.
I will be happy if you move forward with us so that the Seireki13ya we protected together will shine even stronger and sweeter.
And for starters, the three of us will do our best at tomorrow’s show. I hope for your support!⁴ ⁵

From Nene Komochi’s Twitter.

I am very sad and hurt that we have to part with Runo this way.
But not everything was a lie. The energy she gave to you at the concerts and her love for Seireki13ya for the whole year and a bit we’ve spent together was real.
So please don’t doubt everything…
I will always love the Seireki13ya that the four of us created, and I am truly glad that I was able to join the group together with Runo.
As of today, Runo will no longer be with us and I’m sad, but holding hands with Komochi and Minai and supporting each other, we will continue to do our best.
I want you “Night Minions” to see this. We will strive for a bright future that will put a bright smile on your face, so trust us🎀⁶ ⁷

From Yui Urari’s Twitter.

For almost a year and a half, we’ve been moving forward together, putting Seireki13ya first, and I think our attitude towards the concerts, our trust in each other, and our feelings of appreciation for the “Night Minions” who support us have been the same for everyone.
I thought so, and so when Runo missed a concert, I was really worried, and when I found out the truth later, I was really sad. You know, there are a lot of moments where I think, “Ah, if only I had done things differently back then…”. I’m sorry.
I wanted to perform with her one last time and say her goodbye with a smile together with our “Night Minions,” but it didn’t work out, I’m sorry.
You probably can’t take this sudden parting and you probably have a lot of things on your mind, but for me our performances as a foursome will always be a treasure, and I wish it would be for you too.
I will continue to move forward without stopping to make my beloved Seireki13ya shine even brighter and more people love the group.
I hope for your support.⁸

From Yowa Minai’s Twitter.

TOKYO TEFUTEFU announced a mini-album at the finale of their solo tour “NNEEOORAGE~KakeruTobu~,” which was postponed due to the car accident. The release will consist of the members’ solo songs and will be titled “IIIIly,”⁹ which reads “Four-Ily”¹⁰ and apparently represents “four I’s” as an adverb, as if to indicate that it will reflect the selves of each of the four members. It is scheduled for release on July 31.

The group has also announced a series of monthly concerts¹¹ and a new tour starting this summer.¹²

Since this is the Amanojaku tour, I’ll leave here a draft of a tweet I wrote a year ago. I’ve gotten a little stronger, haven’t I?
“Ever since I was a child, I never accomplished anything, I didn’t have any outstanding talents, and feelings of inferiority pressured me to the point where I didn’t want to live. But at the same time, I was very lucky to have people around me who gave me pure and sincere love. But I pushed them away, and then I realized: “Ah, it doesn’t matter what they did for me, the problem is my terrible attitude,” and I became even more bitter. By the time I realized that love is love, it was too late. I had always been Amanojiaku(*). How I wished from the beginning to accept everything openly and sincerely, to grow up straightforward and honest, to have a sweet, kind and pure heart. But now it’s too late. I didn’t want anyone to know about these feelings, but at the same time I wanted someone to notice them…”¹³

From Mary Lust’s Twitter.

(*) Amanojaku is a demonic creature from Japanese folklore that, in modern Japanese, symbolizes people who are different from the masses and disagree with the opinions or behavior of the majority – rebellious and stubborn people, often in a negative way.

I know more than anyone else that the moment I stop being myself, my existence will lose all meaning. I think I will cling to this place until the day I die. After all, apart from this place, I have nothing to lose and nothing to protect. Of course, I don’t know when I’m going to die, and it could happen at any moment, so I’ll live to the fullest.¹⁴

From Chimura Shifumi’s Twitter.

As promised, Zenbu Kimi no Sei da has announced a new audition for the group (the deadline for applications is May 31st).¹⁵

Even after the new members were selected, I thought about not stopping the auditions. I also told the members about this.
I want people who like the music and ideas of “Zenkimi” to be able to keep them, and even if things change, they can inherit and pass on this music and these ideas in their individual way.
As long as this place remains important to someone.
So I look forward to your applications.¹⁶

From Kisaragi Megumi’s Twitter.

It takes a lot of courage to both start and continue something, and it may be hard, but that’s why it brings me so much happiness and this place has become so dear to me! Those who want to live a life called Zenbu Kimi no Sei da with us, we are waiting for your applications!¹⁷

From Mei Yui Mei’s Twitter.

Zenbu Kimi no Sei da has many things you can’t experience anywhere else: unique sights, fun, a sense of fulfillment, frustration. In the short time since I joined “Zenkimi,” I’ve experienced all these things many times!
And now I’m looking forward to meeting you, who are willing to give your best and follow your dreams, so that we can rush towards our common future together💭¹⁸

From Nene Komochi’s Twitter.

The group has also launched its official Instagram account:

Chimura “Nine Curse Bullet” Shifumi revealed on Twitter that she wrote the lyrics for one of Futatsuna’s songs.¹⁹

This tour has given me the opportunity to experience such frustration and passion that I have never experienced before.
The unwillingness to lose, the desire to catch up with everyone, the desire to hold on to it, the fact that I could become so desperate – all of this allowed me to discover a previously unknown part of myself.
I will live, live, live, live, live, I will continue to live here.
I was born a stupid and greedy person, so it’s just beginning.
Isn’t it?²⁰

Mary Lust finished her introduction of the codomomental members:

Today it’s Komochi-san🤍💚
Her singing is filled with the emotions she is feeling at the moment, she is so expressive that you can tell just by listening to her 🥹♡
Even when dancing, she shows so many different sides of herself that even if you watch her all the time, you’ll still be surprised!
She’s reliable, incredibly cute, kind, bright, cool, and has everything you can imagine.
Her tireless diligence is my ideal and I love her so much 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I’m glad you always chat with me with a smile 🐈‍⬛♡²¹ ²²

Komochi’s reply:

Thank you🤍💚
I really love your smile so keep smiling always💭💖
Love you 💖💖💖🌈²³

Today it’s Muku-chan (˶’ ᵕ ‘ ˶)🩵
From the very first concert, I was impressed by her sexy dancing and skillful singing 🪄
She’s always smiling, and sometimes there’s a “Gu-fu-fu-fu” in her laugh, just like a cute character 🫶🏻
But she is also able to take the lead and act quickly and clearly, and you can feel how much that helps ‍🐈‍⬛♡
The “everything is going to be okay” squad in full force 👶🏻²⁴

Muku’s reply:

Lust-sa-an🩵
Exciting picture 👶🏻🫶🏻
When you praise my dancing, a smile always spreads across my face (˶’ ᵕ ‘ ˶)
I like your laugh so much when you laugh out loud ( ⌯’֊’⌯)
I want to become closer with you! – ̗̀🤝 ̖́-²⁵

Today it’s Hikari-chan🔆!
Her confused face that she sometimes makes when she talks is sooooo cute 🐈‍⬛🎶
At concerts, her expression becomes more and more confident, you can see that she thinks a lot about different things and translates it into her power ❤︎
She talks to me so much, so I want to become closer with her!²⁶

Hikari’s reply:

Lust-san➰🔆
I was wondering when my turn would come, I’m happy 🙂‍↕️
Ashikaga has become a special place for meᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ
You’re so kind, I love you（ ; ; ; ; ）🫶🏻
I want to become closer with you too, so I’ll chat with you more often~❕❕❕❕²⁷

Today it’s Urari-chan🎀
She’s super cute with such a special aura that makes you want to protect her 🪄
When we first met, I sometimes saw her crying out of frustration, but before I knew it, she became so majestic and reliable՞ඉ ඉ՞
Every time you see her, she makes you think, “I cheered for her for a reason!”❤︎²⁸

Today it’s Yuzuriha Ouhi-san🦇
When you look at her in NSLE, she’s even cuter and sexier, I saw a lot of new sides to her that I didn’t see in her before!
Wherever she is, her body is moving before her brain can think and that’s cool ❤︎
I think even if she is left alone, she will still push forward regardless of the pain, but I want to be by her side🦋²⁹

Today it’s Romi-chan 🌩 🌩
She challenges herself a lot at every concert, trying to overcome things she hasn’t mastered yet, she’s so diligent! You can feel how she wants to catch up with Chimu as soon as possible 🪄
During the concerts she runs around the stage so fast that I can’t take my eyes off her ➰
I can’t wait to see her get cooler and cooler 🤍³⁰

Tsukumo’s reply:

Lust-san is always so cute and kind and always smiling.
She’s so beautiful and cool on stage that I can’t take my eyes off her.
To put it modestly, it’s just a BIG LOVE.
In fact, when I suddenly saw the look on Lust-san’s face from the second row at one of the “Tefutefu” concerts, I was so captivated by it that I couldn’t move, but that’s a secret.³¹

My mouth is so big. When I was a kid, my mouth took up two-thirds of my face, and it looks like it just kept growing… If this keeps up, one day when I smile, the corners of my mouth may burst through my cheeks and cause unforeseen harm to those around me… Gotta be careful…³²
