Also active with her solo project (詩羽). ** Kenmochi Hidefumi – Composition and arrangement Born August 2, 1981. Real name Hidefumi Kenmochi. The track maker responsible for most of the group’s music. Former member of Hydeout Productions. Based in Osaka for many years and communicated with other members via Skype, later moving to Kanagawa Prefecture in October 2015. **Dir.F – All other roles Born in 1982. Real name Yasutomo Fukunaga. A key figure at Tsubasa Records. Acts as manager and director in conventional music-unit terms and was responsible for introducing KOM_I and Kenmochi. Former member: ** KOM_I – Lead performer and vocalist Born July 22, 1992, from Kanagawa Prefecture. Graduated from Keio University. Real name Misaki Koshi. Original lead performer and vocalist. Musical style and name: Suiyoubi no Campanella's sound is difficult to describe in that it varies greatly. KOM_I's lyrics and raps often reference pop culture or quirky historical figures, which she performs solo in live performances. Kenmochi's production spans drum n bass to breakbeat, IDM to lounge, progressive house to dance-pop—often in the same song. The name Wednesday Campanella originates from reasons such as having many meetings on Wednesdays and a desire to mix kanji, hiragana, and katakana, among others. Although the group was initially conceived as a multi-member unit, KOM_I alone appeared on stage at live performances. The original lineup consisted of three women. During their indie period, the English spelling used in music videos was Suiyōbi no Campanella. For performances in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 2015, they used the Chinese name 星期三的康帕内拉, and for SXSW in Texas in 2016, they performed under the name "Wednesday Campanella". This English name has since been adopted consistently in music videos and other materials. http://www.wed-camp.com/ https://x.com/wed_camp https://www.youtube.com/user/wedcamp https://www.facebook.com/WednesdayCampanella/ https://x.com/h_kenmochi https://x.com/utaha_89_id_
