Wednesday Campanella's masterpieces and popular songs

Starting their activities in 2012, Wednesday Campanella has been releasing sophisticated tracks with a unique atmosphere.

If you’ve known Wednesday Campanella since back then, you might have thought of it as KOM_I’s solo project, since she handled vocals.

In fact, though, it was a music unit with Hidefumi Kenmochi producing the songs and Dir.F handling direction.

In 2021, KOM_I left the group, and Utaha joined as the second vocalist, continuing their activities.

In this article, we’ll introduce their popular songs all at once—from their debut to the present!

Their catalog is full of addictive tracks, from the lyrics to the melodies, so take this opportunity to give them a thorough listen.

Wednesday Campanella’s best and most popular songs (1–10)

RaSuiyōbi no Campanella

Here’s one track I’d recommend to fans of electro house: “Ra.” It’s a song included on the album “Zipangu,” released on November 11, 2015.

As the title suggests, it sings about “Ra, the sun god,” but it’s not just that—the song also sings about curry, specifically “roux.” Because curry is part of the theme, the track collaborated with Nissin Curry Meshi for its music video.

The video, which brings out Kom_I’s beauty to the fullest, was created by Yuichi Kodama, known for directing music videos for Tokyo Jihen and Ringo Sheena.

It’s a highly engaging piece, so be sure to check it out.

BuckinghamSuiyōbi no Campanella

This is a song that makes the most of the catchy sound of the word “Buckingham.” On September 6, 2021, KOM_I, who had been the vocalist for Wednesday Campanella, announced her departure.

Joining the group as the new lead and vocalist was Uta, instantly recognizable for her bold braids and piercings.

“Buckingham” is one of the tracks from the first double A-side single released under the new lineup.

Right from the intro, she delivers an impactful rap.

It’s a song that immediately showcases the charm of Uta’s voice.

AladdinSuiyōbi no Campanella

With its seemingly intricately interwoven rhythms creating a unique groove, “Aladdin” is a track that hooks you more the more you listen.

The song was included as the first track on their first digital album after their 2016 major-label debut, “SUPERMAN,” and they also performed it on the hugely popular music program Music Station, making it one of Wednesday Campanella’s signature songs.

The lamp in the song’s title, “Aladdin,” would normally summon the Genie when rubbed, but they wrote this track from the perspective of “What if he didn’t come out?” That’s why the lyrics talk about abrasives and cleaning.

The Little Match GirlSuiyōbi no Campanella

Among the songs Wednesday Campanella has released, “The Little Match Girl” is on the mellower side.

It’s a track from their November 2015 album Zipangu, inspired by Andersen’s fairy tale.

In this song, the perspective shifts to that of the person who buys the matches.

While mellow in tone, the subtly understated sound lays down a very groovy rhythm—a quiet yet dance-inducing track with a curious atmosphere.

AliceSuiyōbi no Campanella

WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA “Alice”

With an intro where crisp synthesizer hits ring out refreshingly, this is “Alice,” released on October 27, 2021.

In September of the same year, KOM_I, who had served as the vocalist until then, announced her departure, and the second lead and vocalist, Utaha, joined the group.

“Alice” was the first release under the new lineup.

From its sound to the lyrical worldview, the track offers a charm that feels distinctly different from Wednesday Campanella’s previous work.

The song takes inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, likening the world that entered the COVID-19 pandemic to stumbling into a strange realm where everything you see has suddenly transformed.

It’s a song that makes you want to cherish the small, everyday happinesses you once took for granted.

ShakushainSuiyōbi no Campanella

This track starts with a rap that exudes such a strange vibe it almost feels like an incantation.

It’s a song released in June 2015 called “Shakushain.” With many Wednesday Campanella songs, you can usually guess what they’re about from the title, but that doesn’t apply here.

“Shakushain” refers to the chief of an Ainu tribe who lived in the early Edo period.

In the song, they rap the difficult-to-read place names of Hokkaido, where the Ainu people lived.

The stream of unfamiliar words keeps coming, but the sound is so good that the track is highly addictive.

DiabloSuiyōbi no Campanella

You can fully feel Kom_I’s love for baths in “Diablo,” released in April 2015.

The title “Diablo” is said to be a play on the English word “dear,” the Japanese word for bath (furo), and the Spanish word for “devil,” diablo.

At first glance, it might not seem related to baths, but Kom_I’s affection for bathing seeps through right away.

The song is also used as the opening theme for the NHK variety show “Sando no Ofuro Itadakimasu,” featuring the hugely popular comedy duo Sandwichman—and Kom_I herself serves as the show’s narrator.

It’s a highly recommended track for bath lovers.
