The first song to play was “Ra,” which saw vocalist and sole performer of the group KOM_I appear from behind the audience seating around on the steps. She greeted everyone with a “Hello! Singapore!”, surprising everyone in the crowd as she defied all expectations by appearing behind them rather than on the stage as she began singing “Ra”. People crowded at the bottom of the steps in an instant. During the middle of the song, KOM_I, who was on top of the yellow steps, extended over the crowd, creating an instant portable shrine. KOM_I sat upon the shrine as the audience carried her over the crowd. The people in other areas who saw this spectacle immediately rushed over to the stage. People were saying things like “Oh my God!” and “Amazing!” while KOM_I rode on top of the shrine snapping photos with her smartphone.

The next song was “Shakushain” followed by “Yukiotoko Yeti” where two yetis appeared from the distance. KOM_I also excited the crowd with her customary giant balloon inside which she sits and is transported over the crowd. She also got the crowd going with her dancing. This was followed by a performance of “Ikkyu-san,” the video for which was released this month on the 19th and has already accumulated over 300,000 views on YouTube. KOM_I taught the crowd the dance moves for the song so that they could join in. Everyone needed to count “1, 9, 3” with the chorus “Ikkyu-san / arigato thank you”. KOM_I told everyone “Let’s all dance together!” and everyone joined in with the 193 dance. (Note: Ikkyu-san is word play, in which ikkyu-san also means the numbers 1, 9 and 3.)

This was a fantastic, unique and never-before-seen kind of performance, and earned huge screams of joy and praise from the crowd. KOM_I ended by saying, “Thank you, Laneway Festival! I want to come again next year, so I’ll see you then!”, before the 45-minute performance ended – amongst lots of cheering.

  • Audience of over 1000 persons were filled with excitement! Wednesday Campanella’s live was held in Taiwan

    17.October.2017 | MUSIC

    KOM_I held her first one-man live in foreign country cities (Taipei and Taichu) on the 13th and the 14th of October.

    She was the only Japanese artist participating the popular event “Legacy Presents 2017 Toshinyosei” and more than 1,000 persons gathered at the venues in Taipei and Taichu.

     

    The venue in Taipei was a preppy spot “Kazan 1914 Bunsoenku” which used to be a vacant lot inside an alcohol factory when Japan occupied Taiwan. It is a mysterious, but nice spot where trees grow skyward out of the building stuctures. Whether in Japan or in a foreign country, Suyobi no Capmanella always creates her own stage from scratch based on the inspiration she receives from the venue.

    czMjYXJ0aWNsZSMyOTc2NyMxOTEzMTYjMjk3NjdfWHpDQVFhcUlkeS5qcGc1

    The opening song of the live was “Gogh” and the song started after a light was radiated from the darkness. The light flickered in the darkness and KOM_I’s voice resonated in the venue mysteriously. Then, the curtain opened after the intro of “Chosei” started and the venue was filled with excitement when KOM_I appeared on stage. The audience reacted to the energy from KOM_I who was running around the stage actively.

    無題1

    After that, the stage was covered with a curtain and a mysterious rendition showing the silhouette of KOM_I with colorful clothes was shown.

     

    The audience took in the energy from KOM_I who was running around the venue while performing “Wright Brothers.” She performed “Momotaro” lastly and was put inside a water ball. She dived into the audience seats and the live ended with excitement. She also said goodbye to the audience in the local language.

    無題2

    She performed “Ikkyusan,” “Amenouzume” and “Marco Polo” after receiving an encore. The door at the side of the stage opened slightly and she left from the stage. The audience remained silent for a while but were filled excitement. The live ended while the audience was craving for KOM_I to appear again on stage.

     

    “I want to come here again next year” says KOM_I. Can’t wait to see her next live in Taiwan.

  • WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA streams performance live along the coast in Miyagi Prefecture!

    05.September.2017 | MUSIC

    WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA put on a performance at Reborn-Art Festival 2017 on August 31st which was streamed live. The festival is currently being held at Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture.

    ライブスチール②

    The Reborn-Art Festival has been ongoing since July 22nd and is taking place in the Oshika Peninsula in the Ishinomaki city center. An arts, food and music festival, this year the event will run until September 10th and is a program based around hearing music being played somewhere each day across 51 days. As part of this program, WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA live streamed a show at Oginohama in the heart of the Oshika Peninsula.

     

    The performance opened in a dark and mystical forest located at a local port in Oginohama where we see colourful oyster shells being used as buoysライブスチール①

    KOM_I appeared from the smoke wearing red and orange balloons, beginning the artsy performance with the song “Gogh.” Basked in rays of light, her orange coloured hair and mollusc-like movements went hand-in-hand, making her look like some kind of fairy emerging from the forest. The fairy came from the woods and singing her song looked as if she was waiting to see how the land lies.

    ライブスチール③

    The peculiar outfit designed from life-like balloons was created by Toshio Takeda who has worked with balloon unit Daisy Balloon which is made up of balloon artist Rie Hosokai and graphic designer and art director Takashi Kawada, whose work is also on display at Reborn-Art Festival 2017.

     

    The next song performed was a remix of WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA’s most well-known song “Momotaro,” a version which has been featured on their set-list at recent festivals.

     

    KOM_I comes into contact with the buoys, rides a small boat that has washed ashore, frolics around a white deer, a piece of art titled “White Deer(Oshika)” by Kōhei Nawa, all while moving towards the centre of the beach.

    ライブスチール④

    During the final song, “Marco Polo,” KOM_I walks steadily towards the pitch black coast of the waters, parallel with the intro, while crossing with the shining light in the background as she plays with the waves. She is left at the shoreline at the end of the video and looks across the water towards us, presenting to us a slightly melancholic scene

     

    Despite the announcement of this show being on the same day as it was performed, it brought in around 30,000 viewers across KOM_I’s Instagram, WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA’s official Twitter account, and on Reborn-Art Fes’s official Instagram page.。

     

    The whole stream is available to watch on WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA’s official YouTube channel, so be sure to check it out below.

  • WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA to Perform at “Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival 2017” in Los Angeles!

    16.August.2017 | MUSIC

    It has been announced that WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA will perform at “Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival 2017,” a music festival held in Los Angeles, US. They will be the first Japanese artist to appear at the festival.

    ライブイメージカット②

    “Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival” is an annual music festival created and hosted by Tyler, the Creator of alternative hip hop group “Odd Future.” The festival began in 2012 as a place to thank fans for continuously supporting Tyler. The artists selected to perform at the event are all chosen by Tyler himself.

    ライブイメージカット③

    The reason why Tyler requested WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA to perform at the festival is partly because he wants more female artists in the line-up this year, but more specifically because he deemed them indispensable to be included due to their creativeness and how inspiring they are as artists. So he sent them an offer.

    The line-up features a long list of artists who are active all around the world including Tyler, the Creator, Tyler, the Creator, Lana Del Rey, ASAP Rocky, Solange Knowles, Willow Smith & Jaden Smith, Kid Cudi, Mac Miller, Justice, Migos, Lil Yachty, and more.

    01.August.2017 | MUSIC

    WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA are currently on their nationwide solo Japan tour “WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA One Man Live Tour 2017 ~IN THE BOX~.” The electronic, EDM and J-pop trio, fronted by KOM_I, digitally released their new song “Picasso” on July 28th.

     

    The song has already featured in the set-lists during concerts of their ongoing tour, giving fans an early first chance to hear it. The song comes as the final installment to their three-track monthly release project; they released “Melos” in May, “Eisei” in June, and finished with “Picasso” this July. The new song has been used as the ending theme to the NHK World TV show “J-MELO” since April.

     

    The song and its lyrics are written by Kenmochi Hidefumi. The song was written with the theme in mind of “What line would you use when asking out somebody that you like?,” something mentioned in J-MELO and a question asked all around the world. The lyrics of “Picasso” touch upon the man himself who is said to have known many loves.

    The CD cover in all its psychadelic colours was designed by Kuwahara Yoshiyuki who also designed the cover for the blu-ray release of WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA’s concert at the Nippon Budokan.

    WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA are known for creating fun and quirky websites. For example, you can play a game on their official homepage if you access it via your smartphone. They also set up a special website for their song “Aladdin” from their EP “SUPERKID” which came out last year. If you rubbed the magic lamp on screen, you would be able to listen to the song.

    WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA’s new special website, which has been set up for their first Blu-ray release “WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA Nippon Budokan Live ~Hakkaku Uchuu~,” not only includes the standard information about the disc’s content and the gorgeous packaging, but also a rather crude clipping of KOM_I herself, as well as a font and logo that look like they never made it past the template stage, giving the entire design of the website that early internet aesthetic.

    The sound effects on the website were made by KOM_I herself, as you can probably tell. Aesthetically, the website is the same when viewed on both a PC and a smartphone, but KOM_I’s performance is a little different on each.

    On the PC page, if you click KOM_I’s mouth you will see the Blu-ray packaging flying through the air, accompanied by the sounds of her voice. You will sucked in through her mouth and into a website that looks like it was made by an amateur.

    The smartphone page will be much appreciated by the younger generation who are concerned by the lack of gigabytes on their devices. The extremely simple design of the website means easy access for all.

    Of the 24 songs featured on the Blu-ray, you can view 3 of them on the website: “Utah,” “Nero,” and “Unico”.

    If you’re wondering what on earth kind of website this is, then you should most definitely check it out for yourself.

  • WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA to Release Nippon Budokan Concert on Blu-ray!

    27.June.2017 | MUSIC

    Having only just revealed that they will release a new single titled Eisei on June 30th, WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA have announced that they will release their concert at the Nippon Budokan on Blu-ray. This is the first time for the group to announce a video release.

    武道館カット②
    Earlier this year on March 8th, WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA graced the stage at the famous Nippon Budokan for the very first time with a solo concert. The Blu-ray will compile the entire set, from the opening song “Chohakkai” all the way to the encore track “Dracula,” for a total of 24 songs.

     

    WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA are renowned for not only the quality of their music, but for the exceptional amount of work that goes into their music videos too. Because YouTube is the main platform for WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA to release all of their new music videos, they have until now not released any kind of video content for DVD or Blu-ray. But due to high demand from fans to release video content for purchasing, that is about to change, with the release of their Budokan show. It will be available on Blu-ray only so that all fans can enjoy both the music and footage in the highest possible quality.

    武道館カット①
    The person overlooking the direction and compilation of the Blu-ray is Tomokazu Yamada, who was in charge of directing the music videos for WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA’s “Yuniko” and “Melos”. A 45-minute behind the scenes video consisting of footage in the run up to the Budokan concert is also featured on the release, directed by Hiroki Iwabuchi, who has also worked with WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA in the past on music videos and other making-of videos for previous tours.

    The artwork for the release was created by Yoshiyuki Kuwahara and features a design of the Nippon Budokan and its octagonal shape. Every release from WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA’s right down to the artwork and packaging is made with the highest level of attention and detail. More details will be announced regarding the release in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled.

  • WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA Announce New Song “Eisei” for Digital Release—Used for “Real Dasshutsu Game”

    24.June.2017 | MUSIC

    WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA recently released their latest single “Melos” for digital download along with a gorgeous music video. The successful electronic music group have just announced yet another new single to be released on June 30th which will also be available to purchase digitally.

     ル™Jミエ

    The newest addition to WEDNESDAY CAMPENELLA’s music barracks is titled “Eisei.” The song was written for a “real dasshutsu game” called “Aru Taisenba kara no Dasshutsu” produced by SCRAP which is based off the manga series “Kingdom” written and illustrated by Yasuhisa Hara.

     

    A “real dasshutsu game” is a type of game played in real life where you must work together with other people to try and escape from or out of something by solving puzzles and engaging in other activities., with each game being based around different theme such as anime series and video games. WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA’s new track was used as the main theme song at the real dasshutsu game event earlier this year between March and May. Eisei is the name of a character that appears in Kingdom, and is also a name found in real world history. Emperor Qin Shi Huang became known as it during the Warring States period.

     水曜日のカンパネラA写

    Continuing the successfully sublime grandeur of “Melos” and its magnificent music video, WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA are set to release “Eisei” as a digital single.

     

    KOM_I is currently on the group’s nationwide solo tour in Japan titled “WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA One-Man Live Tour 2017 ~IN THE BOX~” where Eisei is already on the set lists, so it’s sure to appease the anticipation fans have had for this release.

     

    WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA are never short of things to do when it comes to their work, with an eventful and lively schedule that seems to always be packed full of events and new releases. They just recently completed a concert at the behemoth venue that is Nippon Budokan back in March, and are already en route with a Japan tour, not to mention having another new release on the horizon. And since summer is now upon us, we are bound to see KOM_I rocking the stage at all the summer festivals with her infectiously vivacious performances.
