With the Christmas season here, management asks for sensitivity regarding one specific topic.

The problematic nature of Japanese Idol culture is acknowledged. I still thought this was heartwarming.

An important announcement regarding Seira Umegwa

Thank you all for your continued kind support of Idol Kyoshitsu New.

Seira Umegawa is currently in the sixth grade, and we are informing everyone that as of the time of this writing, November 25, 2024, she believes in Santa Claus.

We apologize for the suddenness of this, but following discussions between the other members of the group and Umegawa’s parents, we are requesting that fans conduct themselves, in words and actions, with the presumption that Santa Claus exists.

    And that’s how the the human species saw the rise and dominance of Clausism, the corruption leading to their eventual destruction after the Great Hallmark Wars.
