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 classic and popular songs (11–20)

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.

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.

Ikkyu-sanSuiyōbi no Campanella

Dance music “Ikkyu-san” captivates with its funky bassline.

It’s a single released on January 19, 2017.

The puns sprinkled throughout the lyrics are incredibly catchy and stick in your head.

What made this song especially talked about was its music video.

The story, amazingly, features a town girl who falls in love at first sight with a bomber named IKKYU.

You won’t want to miss KOM_I playing a double role as both the town girl and a police officer! The music video was directed by Yuichi Kodama, just like “RA,” which was released in 2015.

MedusaSuiyōbi no Campanella

A track included on the fifth album Zipangu, released in 2015.

Inspired by Medusa—the monster from Greek mythology whose hair was turned into snakes—the song features striking phrases that evoke Medusa, such as references to hair and stone.

In contrast to its theme, the light, urban arrangement lends it a coolness that makes it enjoyable even without understanding the lyrics.

Kom_I’s voice, both languid and commanding, creates a sense of transparency, resulting in a superb pop tune with a distinctive, floating feel.

A catchy song with a title that evokes the Three Wise Monkeys—something every Japanese person has likely heard of.

Included on the 2018 second EP “Galapagos,” the track’s ensemble blends a traditional beat with inorganic digital sounds in a way that creates real addictiveness.

The contrast between the floating, airy melody and a message that can be read as contemporary crafts a unique worldview only Wednesday Campanella could express.

It’s a less-than-two-minute track that you can’t help but find captivating—an irresistibly catchy number.

MatryoshkaSuiyōbi no Campanella & Moodoïd

A track that drew attention for its unconventional collaboration with French artist Moodoïd.

Featured on the second EP Galapagos, released on both CD and vinyl, it’s a number whose effect-laden, impactful vocals linger in your ears.

Despite being a joint effort with a French artist, the melody evokes a distinctly Japanese sensibility, while the contrast with the layered digital sounds creates a dreamlike atmosphere.

It’s a track that suggests a crystalline sanctity while remaining highly addictive, offering a glimpse into the unfathomable musicality of Wednesday Campanella.

A track included on ‘Take Me to Onigashima.’ The music video is somewhat unusual, featuring multiple appearances by KOM_I dressed as a bus tour guide.

The chorus seems like it would get the crowd going at live shows, yet the song also conveys a sense of madness or fear.
