  • WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA wow J-pop fans with their second live in America and in return, receive a big surprise from the audience!

    31.July.2016 | MUSIC

    Following the release of their 1st major EP “UMA”, WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA embarked on their “Unidentified Tour” around Japan, taking further immediate action to spread their love to America with their appearance on stage at “J-POP SUMMIT 2016”. “J-POP SUMMIT 2016” is an event which was held from Friday 22nd 〜 24th July in San Francisco with the aim of spreading J-pop culture to overseas countries. WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA took to the Fort Mason Center stage to perform for the J-pop-hungry crowd on Saturday 23rd July.

    Whilst the many eyes of J-pop and anime fans had their eyes fixated on the stage, the sound of the first song on their set list, “Napoleon” echoed throughout the whole venue, however, KOM_I was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the centre monitor displayed KOM_I singing in a mysterious, feathery mask....and then finally revealed her secret location!! She emerged from behind the Domo-kun monument in the NHK WORLD booth, which was located behind the guest seating area. Observing this unimaginably spectacular entrance onto the stage, the cheers from the audience raged with excitement, as they advanced to crowed around the monument. After jumping down from the stage, she was carried by a deluxe portable festival shire decorated with red paper lanterns and crawling with Chinese dragons. She advanced through the audience, giving them high fives and inviting them to enjoy the atmosphere and dance.

    During the MC, it was announced that KOM_I’s birthday was on 22nd July, which is the same day that WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA set off for San Francisco for J-POP SUMMIT. Upon hearing this, the crowd of fans naturally began to sing happy birthday in unison, bringing some tears to KOM_I as she replied “Thank you so much!!” to the very American San Francisco audience. As 2 other members in the audience seemed to share the same birthday, KOM_I threw some toy duck figures into the audience as a present!

    The last song performed by WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA was “Momotaro” with a slight twist... The audience were shocked, wowing in awe as a giant rubber ball rolled onto the stage. KOM_I entered the giant ball and threw herself into the audience, rolling freely over her fans! The special giant rubber ball had a special feature ー special decorative lights were installed inside the ball, changing colour to match the theme of the song. The ball turned pink and continued to roll over the ocean of fans, soon taking on the appearance of a giant peach. The smiling fans, who enjoyed the performance constantly moved their hands, passing the giant peach around themselves to ensure that KOM_I who was inside did not fall. Even after the song had finished, KOM_I announced: “Next, I’ll be holding an autograph session over there, so I’ll be heading there in this giant ball! See you later!” and was washed away to the back of the guest seating area. It was at this grand point that the fantastic live came to a close.

     

    This marks WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA’s second live performance in America. The live turned out to be a big success, as the group fulfilled their main goal of bringing happiness to their audience through their crazy performance and by ensuring that everybody in the audience has a big smile on their face.

     

    The activity of WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA does not stop here! They will also be performing at the festival SUPER SLIPPA 2016 today in Taiwan, and will continue to perform around the country at summer festivals! As their activity knows no limits, please continue to look out for their raids in foreign countries too!
