In September 2021, KOM_I was replaced by vocalist Utaha with producer/composert Kenmochi Hidefumi staying and continuing his original vision.
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 band's name, "Wednesday's Little Bell" is a reference to their initial group meetings, which often took place on Wednesdays. They frequently perform in small venues and used to only distribute their music at said performances. Suiyoubi no Campanella is also very active on YouTube, creating music videos for nearly all of their album's singles.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
およそ1400とちょっと前 地元のハコで出会った3MC
洛陽の東 70里ほど小さな村に伝わる昔話
生まれ育ちはレペゼン陳堡谷
坊主鳴らすBOSEのスピーカー
だらだらしながらガンダーラ
目指してる三蔵法師
オーディエンスに声
届けるためにトラックに乗りこめ
ブタが降り立つこの舞台
皆大好き551の蓬莱
さあ調子はどうだい
アイム猪八戒
敵に回すとちょっとだけやっかい かもよ
金華 イベリコ トウキョウX
ブランド付きのMCブー
春の小川のようにさらさらなフロウ
頭の皿も潤いだしたよう
いつも握り締めてるキューカンバー
今夜それをマイクに持ち替えた
ここでジャージは外せない
しかもadidasじゃなくてKappaです
もうやめられないとまらない
沙悟浄は黄桜大吟醸
牧場のフェンス超え
オーディエンスに声
届けるためにトラックに乗りこみ
諸国漫遊 17年間 めぐる128カ国を経て
パミール高原 タクラマカン砂漠
カラコルム越え光の差すほうへ
何事もなく無事に着いたなら
そこが俺たちのガンダーラ
The song "猪八戒" by 水曜日のカンパネラ tells the story of three MCs who met in a local venue about 1,400 years ago in a small village about 70 ri to the east of Luoyang. The three MCs hail from Chenbugu and have been raised in BOSE's speaker, which is rung by the monks. They are inspired by the story of a famous priest called Sanzang and have set out on an epic journey to see Gandhara. The song gets its name from the third MC, who is known as Zhu Bajie, a famous character in Chinese folklore, a brave warrior who has been turned into a pig.
The song starts with the trio jumping over fences to make their way to an audience that's waiting to hear them perform. Their showstopper is 551 Penglai, a dish that everyone loves. They identify themselves as MCBoo, a branded MC with Gold Mountain, Iberico, and TokyoX. The lyrics beautifully weave Chinese mythology and contemporary culture together with references to both the Beatles and modern Japanese fashion staples such as Kappa jackets.
Overall, "猪八戒" is a unique and captivating song that showcases the group's ability to blend various elements, creating a new sound that's both nostalgic and futuristic.
