Apparently TEAM SHACHI have a hidden tiktok account:

Interesting!

Hacha Mecha Gakuen will be ending with episode 100

So it seems like TEAM SHACHI can't use their pre-Independent label songs in their videos because of Warner Music International.

TEAM SHACHI have announced details of their crowdfunding campaign: https://wefan.jp/crowdfunding/projects/shachisummer2023

Unfortunately, most of the rewards require attending either SHACHI SUMMER or Twenties Talk Trip Vol.18 the following day. However, you can simply give a ￥1,000 donation without a reward, or pay ￥2,000 to have your name in the end credits. One of the other rewards will be mailed at a later date - a sample of 6 bottles of MIZUNO's new non-alcoholic beer, with one of the bottles signed by a TEAM SHACHI member.

Their goal is ￥8,000,000.

The crowdfunding starts tomorrow, July 3rd, at 19 JST.

I managed to get what I wanted and added an additional donation. They're already at 18% of the goal 15 minutes in and all the big rewards have been sold out!

[fisky86]

With 7 days remaining, the crowdfunding campaign is at 84% of the ￥8m goal.

[fisky86]

Now at 95% with 4 days left!

[fisky86]

They've now reached the ￥8m crowdfunding goal, with 3 days remaining!

That was wild! TEAM SHACHI just performed Otome juken sensor 5 times in a row at SPARK FES. They went around the fences singing to the audience. Handing out mochi and balls, throwing large beach balls at the crowd, sprinkling water, etc. There was a moment at which the stage was empty because all the members were performing off-stage. Yuzuki took her vest off. They kept changing some of the lyrics. Reading the comments on Nico Nico as it was airing live and the comments on twitter afterward, the response to this seems overwhelmingly positive. I personally got excited just from watching at home. I'm curious to see how this plays out.

You can also definitely see the results of Yuzuki going to the gym! You can definitely see her abs, especially when she slightly leans forward!

[fisky86]

The crowdfunding campaign has ended with ￥8,510,758 (758, hehe) raised, which is 106% of the original goal.

Excellent!

[fisky86]

Just read a tweet that TEAM SHACHI have announced at SHACHI SUMMER that they're releasing a full album this winter and they're also going on a National tour! Fingers crossed this new album has a Blu Ray attached to it!

[fisky86]

Also apparently, going forward Brass-min will perform with TEAM SHACHI as MOS (which is the name they're more famous for).

[fisky86]

This is all based on second-hand tweets, by the way!

The full album has also been confirmed!

[fisky86]

It should be noted that in Japan "Winter" means the period from December to February. So the album could be released in any of those months. I'm personally hoping for a December release, but let's see what happens!

Given that the Stardust Idol Festival is scheduled for October 28th. I expect that at least one new song from the album will debut there (they're required to perform at least one new song anyway!)

SHACHI SUMMER 2023 finished only 4 hours ago, but they're already posting live performances from it:
