NOBROCK TV Idol Group Formation: Sakuma Reveals Unexpected Connections Between Unique Members

Paying Back Everyone

“In today’s world, it feels like everyone is working hard to pursue a single path. That’s fine in its own way, but I personally like seeing more messy people on TV, in comedy, or among idols.

These girls have truly walked completely different paths in life, with unique backgrounds and personalities. The fact that none of their characters overlap is their biggest charm, and I thought a group like this would be really interesting.”

Television producer Nobuyuki Sakuma immediately answered when asked about the strengths of the idol group DRAW♡ME, which was born from his YouTube channel.

Launched in 2021, “Sakuma Nobuyuki’s NOBROCK TV” has become a hugely popular YouTube channel with over 3 million subscribers. On February 3, it held its first live event, “NOBROCK FES 2026 ~A Night Where Dreams Come True~”, at the Pacifico Yokohama National Hall in Kanagawa, and tickets for the venue sold out (streaming tickets are still available).

“The event was sparked by Ririka Moriwaki’s innocent dream of wanting to sing as an idol, but now it feels like a kind of payback to everyone watching the channel. We’ve prepared lots of things for those who have followed us for a long time, so I hope everyone enjoys it.”

This one-night-only idol group DRAW♡ME was formed for the event. Alongside Moriwaki, it included Saki Tatsuno, Yuka Nihei, Mitsuho Fukudome, Kei Fubuki, and Mirichamu—familiar, unique personalities to NOBROCK TV fans. What determined their selection?

“They all have a core of sincerity or purity that makes you want to cheer for them. The members have grown very close, and we staff love them all too. It’s important for an idol that the staff becomes fans first.”

The members of DRAW♡ME have also appeared in FRIDAY through gravure and interviews. Sakuma P shared his perspective on each member’s charm:

Mirichamu is genuinely kind and responsible, loves animals, and is active in cat rescue. She works hard on every project and is solid in character.

Mitsuho Fukudome is nervous and strict with herself, sometimes unstable, but this gives her explosive energy. Her free-spirited moments are the most entertaining.

Saki Tatsuno is capable in everything, but takes things too seriously. In show business, perfectionists have to maintain their image constantly, which is tough. A slightly more relaxed personality can enjoy things more.

Yuka Nihei has endured hardships, is skilled in both singing and variety, but her private life is a bit chaotic—a gap that’s interesting. She also helps the group musically.

Kei Fubuki is disciplined and serious in character, but her work is often sexy—an amusing contrast. While Nihei’s gap is private-life chaos vs. professional diligence, Fubuki’s is the opposite: sexy work vs. serious real name “Mizuki.”

Ririka Moriwaki is truly mysterious. She may appear ordinary, but possesses all the important qualities of a person. She seems to have been raised in a really good family.

FRIDAY Subscriptions allow unlimited access to past gravure and interviews.

“I want to share that being an uncle is fun.”

The uniquely talented group’s song “Sunao de Gomen ne” has garnered a strong response since its release. The lyrics and composition were by Tamaya 2060% (Wienners), who has worked on songs like Baibai FIGHT! (CANDY TUNE) and for Dempagumi.inc, while the choreography was created by Sako Makita, known for producing viral choreography for groups like Chou Tokimeki♡Sendenbu and FRUITS ZIPPER.

“We heard that Tamaya-san really likes NOBROCK TV, so we reached out to him. He had also been involved with ‘Maji Uta,’ so we felt confident that he understood the balance of humor and emotion.

As for Makita-san, I didn’t expect her to agree (laughs), but since it was a Tamaya-san song, I really wanted her to do it. When I contacted her, it turned out she also watched NOBROCK TV, so she agreed.”

DRAW♡ME, born from a YouTube channel and now stepping into the real world, is already receiving fan requests to continue their activities.

“For now, we’re only thinking up to the February 3rd live show First, we want to make this live event the best it can be. We want the girls to feel that all their hard work has been worthwhile, and that’s what I’m focused on now.”

Streaming tickets are on sale for “NOBROCK FES 2026 ~A Night Where Dreams Come True~” at Pacifico Yokohama National Hall in Kanagawa on February 3.
