codomomental bulletin #8
“After all, you and I are not dolls” is the slogan under which TOKYO TEFUTEFU’s second album was released.
It’s an album that embraces both fun and sad as well as determination, love and soul.

We sang, we danced, we thought really, really hard, and… ah~~~! We colored TOKYO TEFUTEFU’s history in new colors again

I wrote the song ‘ao’ from the new TOKYO TEFUTEFU album. The director asked me to write the song around March of this year, when I had no projects or money, and I was afraid I might starve to death if I didn’t quit my music work and start a part-time job. And working on the song made me realize that, still, it’s the only thing I want to do in my life. And if it’s for the sake of me being able to keep making music, I’m ready to die without money.

The second release event to commemorate the album’s release was held in a conversational form, and, remarkably, the director, Nobuhide Imamura, was also featured at the event. Here are some interesting details from the stream:
– The members talked about their favorite songs from the album. Nonno liked “single use” the most, Ouhi liked “zaniness”, Kagari liked “single use” and “tokyo tragedy”, Lust liked “zaniness” and “blind paranoid faith”, and Chimura liked “zaniness”, “teardrop” and “ash”;
– Uine started to think about leaving the group, around the time of the release of the single “daybreak”;
– As were mentioned before, this album is the first time Mary Lust got involved in writing the group’ lyrics. The result of her efforts is the song “teardrop”, the lyrics to which she wrote in just one day;
– Nobuhide Imamura said that since the breakup of Yukueshirezutsurezure, he has intentionally tried to add the essence of “Tsurezure” to the “Tefutefu” songs.
I believe that the songs are what expresses the performer’s own life, so this is an ‘album’ in many senses.

At Nonamera’s solo performance two weeks ago, the girl performed her old song, which is now as much as 8 years old. According to a Japanese fan, it’s a song that was co-written with GOMESS. It could be a certain song that was uploaded to the girl’s old soundcloud:
Meanwhile, KAQRIYOTERROR, having seemingly completed their recent tour, suddenly announced and held another final show of the tour. For the first time in a while, it was a full-fledged solo concert. And in the recent video from official KAQRIYOTERROR YouTube channel you can watch fragments of the concert (including the first performance of “Oblivion” by the current lineup):
Also, on a recent livestream, Komari Yuu said that she finally learned how to scream. Ready for some screaming parts with Komari?
