Wednesday Campanella
Wednesday Campanella (水曜日のカンパネラ, Suiyōbi no Kampanera) is a Japanese music group formed in 2012 combining musical genres such as EDM, J-pop, and hip hop into a unique stylistic blend. The lyrics generally follow a theme of famous or mythical people and creatures from history, pop culture, or various cultural folklore, while tangentially touching on the song's subject through the use of clever word play and creative interpretation. From 2013 until 2021, the trio consisted of KOM_I, Kenmochi Hidefumi, and Dir.F. KOM_I departed in September 2021, with new vocalist Utaha joining the group.
In 2011, Dir.F and Kenmochi first met at Design Festa Tokyo. As a manager at Tsubasa Records label, Dir.F wanted to launch a new music project with provisional female members, while Kenmochi wanted to produce new music differing from his instrumental music under Nujabes's Hydeout Productions label after the 3.11 Disaster in Japan. The two decided to form a group and named the project ‘’Suiyōbi no Campanella’’. In 2012, Dir.F met KOM_I at a mutual videographer friend’s house party, and he invited her to join the group. KOM_I had no prior music experience until she joined and was still a high school student. Originally, Kenmochi and Dir.F envisioned the group as a trio of girls, but this idea was later abandoned. However, for their initial demo, a second female vocalist appears on the songs, but she is not credited or identified. The second vocalist would leave shortly after for unknown reasons, leaving KOM_I as the sole vocalist for the group. She was originally chosen because Kenmochi liked the mismatch between her voice and the house and hip hop-oriented music that he was producing for the group.
The group uploaded its first two songs, "Oz" and "Kūkai", on YouTube in July 2012. Their debut demo release Suiyōbi no Campanella Demo 1 was sold at Design Festa Tokyo Autumn in November of the same year.
On March 11, 2013, KOM_I held her first live performances alone representing the group. It took place at Shimokitazawa ERA, a nightclub in Tokyo.
Their first mini-album entitled Crawl to Sakaagari (クロールと逆上がり) was released in May 2013. It was exclusively sold at Village Vanguard Shimokitazawa.
In September 2013, the group was invited to the Ringo Ongakusai Festival, a popular festival for Japanese musicians. KOM_I performed in several shows with "Ringo-ame Man," an apple candy-headed character. The following month, their second mini-album Rashomon (羅生門) was released and sold exclusively at Tower Records.
In March 2014, the group's third mini-album, Cinema Jack ("シネマジャック"), was released. The group conducted serial web interviews with online music store OTOTOY to promote the release of the album. Later in 2015, OTOTY would release an exclusive collaborative song from the group with Yuki Kawamura.
On August 5, 2014, the group debuted their most successful single to date "Momotarō" on J-Wave radio for their fourth mini album, Watashi wo Onigashima ni Tsuretette (私を鬼が島に連れてって, "Take me to Onigashima Island"), which was released on 5 November 2014 in die-cut CD edition.
