Universal Music LLC (headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Fujikura Hisashi; hereinafter referred to as “Universal Music”) will release Com.com’s first single, “Dear Us,” on Wednesday, May 29th.
Started in October 2018, Comdot is a YouTube creator group of five childhood friends with the slogan “Bringing local vibes to the whole country.” Until now, members Yuuma and AMUGIRI have been active as artists.
This is the group’s first work, and it is a youthful rock number that is fresh yet nostalgic, full of the Comdot style. Member Yuuta was the main lyricist, and the song is based on the theme of “pushing each other’s backs,” and condenses Comdot’s roots and the message they want to convey. The instruments were also recorded live by the production team, resulting in a powerful sound.
The jacket photos are available in six different versions: regular, Yamato, Yuuta, Hyuuga, Yuuma, and Amugiri, and show the members in fresh denim looks that suit the song and their expressions as they hold the microphone.
To commemorate the release, Comdot will be holding an event in five cities nationwide (Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Sapporo, and Fukuoka), the first time for the group, where they will “go and meet” 10,000 people in total. Those who purchase the CD will be entered into a lottery, and they can apply for one of the following events: a nationwide event limited to purchasers, a Polaroid photo given by mail, various premium events, and an online talk session, using the serial number enclosed in each format. In addition, the serial code enclosed in each member’s solo album can be used to apply for the premium “S Prize”. The “S Prize” benefits are Yamato Prize “1on1 Problem Consultation Session”, Yuta Prize “1on1 Total Coordination Shopping”, Hyuuga Prize “1on1 Darts Class”, Yuuma Prize “Music Creation Based on Your Life”, and Amugiri Prize “1on1 Home Party”, events that make use of each individual’s individuality.
Campaigns have also started on various streaming and download services. In the LINE MUSIC Playback Campaign, you can participate in a 5-on-1 online talk event where you can talk to Com. Dot, as well as events in 5 cities across the country by lottery.
