[Monologue] The Importance of "Character Setting" Learned from His Excellency Demon: A Steadfast Resolve Connecting to NEKØ:CODE 10 Years from Now.
Hello, Observers!
This is NEKØ:CODE🐈⬛🐈✨
This time, I would like to talk about the "power of thoroughness" in creative activities and the future of "NEKØ:CODE" from here on out, using "a certain someone" whom I have respected for many years as a hook.
That person is...
His Excellency Demon
.
Please, do listen to Seikima-II's songs👇
The famous "Wax Doll Hall"
A relatively recent song. I quite like it.
Please make yourself at home🐈⬛🐈✨
❶ The power of His Excellency Demon as a "real demon"
Do you all know His Excellency Demon, who leads Seikima-II (the Demon Religion cult)?
For those who thought, "Oh, you mean that celebrity with the strong character?"
If you were to say "character setting" in front of His Excellency, you might be burned by the hellfire of the underworld in an instant.
That is because he is not a "setting," but
[a real demon].
Let's dig a little deeper into His Excellency's profile here.
His Excellency's actual age is, as of 2026, a staggering 63 years old... oh, excuse me! That was data for his"temporary form to hide in the world".
His true age is "100,063 years old" (born in 98,038 BC).
In this way, by calling Seikima-II's black masses (concerts) and fans (believers), His Excellency has consistently presented"facts as a demon".
❷ "Thoroughness" maintained for over 40 years, no matter what
What is truly amazing about His Excellency is that he has maintained this worldview for over 40 years without wavering even a millimeter.
Humans can maintain a concept as much as they want when things are going well.
However, His Excellency never broke his character as a "demon," even when he was ill, during unexpected troubles, or at any other time.
As a famous episode, when he was injured in the past and taken by ambulance, even when asked for his real name by the crew, he replied, "I am Demon Kogure," and when asked his age, he insisted, "I am 100,0XX years old" (including the consideration of adding "in my temporary form to hide in the world"), showing a thorough professional consciousness.
It is because of this thorough attitude of "
never betraying the worldview" no matter the era or situation, that I believe he is respected as a one-of-a-kind existence even 40 years later.
By the way, the "Observers" at the beginning of NEKØ:CODE's articles is somewhat influenced by His Excellency Demon (lol)
❸ NEKØ:CODE's indicator—management and resolve for 10 years from now
I am convinced that this attitude of His Excellency is the indicator I should emulate the most.
No matter how violently the times change, to perform thorough management so that I never break the characters of YUI and RUI even 10 years from now.
This is the resolve I, as the producer of "NEKØ:CODE," have sworn in my heart.
Because there is definitely a view that can only be seen after continuing to do it without wavering.
As for that "NEKØ:CODE," we are finally moving to the next step.
Starting in July, we will begin the full-scale "playlist conversion" of our songs!
Actually, we have already started playlisting things like "RUI's Piano Chill," but from now on, I would like to release about two MVs (music videos) per month, while accumulating songs at a pace of 10-12 per month overall.
*I think I would like to write about why we are playlisting them, along with the unveiling of YUI's songs and new costumes, and the event on July 12th.
However, I don't just want to make a large number of songs.
What is important is whether a "soul" dwells within them.
By fully utilizing the thorough character traits and philosophy of YUI and RUI, and the story woven by "NEKØ:CODE","what is emotion?"I want to convey this to everyone through music and stories.
Not as characters that are mere symbols, but as living existences.
Even 10 years from now, they will continue to sing as themselves, unchanged.
I would be happy if you could observe the future that lies beyond this accumulated continuity together with me.
Oh, speaking of Seikima-II, Amanaka-san's "Something That Is Not Takoyaki" won't leave my head (lol)
Thank you for reading until the end🐾
