Nobuyuki Sakuma talks about forming idols on “NOBROCK TV! Surprising commonalities” among the unique members
Just before the first real event! Special Interview
Giving Back” to Everyone
I feel that in today’s world, there are only people who are working hard to achieve their goals. That’s fine, but I like to see a more mixed-up crowd in TV, comedy, and idols.
These girls have had really disparate lives, and their backgrounds and personalities are completely different. The most attractive thing about them is that they don’t have the same characters, and I thought it would be interesting to have a group like this.
TV producer Nobuyuki Sakuma immediately answered, “What are the strengths of DRAW♡ME, an idol group born from their own YouTube channel?
NOBROCK TV” was born in 2021 and has become a popular YouTube channel with over 3 million subscribers. Although this was the first real event, tickets for the venue were sold out (tickets for distribution are now on sale).
The reason for holding this event was Ririka Moriwaki’s innocent dream of singing as an idol, but now I feel like I am “repaying the favor” to all the people who watch my channel. I have a feeling of “repayment” to all the people who have been watching our channel. I have prepared a lot of things that those who have been watching the channel for a long time will be excited about, so I hope you will watch them.

DRAW♡ME, a one-night-only idol group, was formed for this event. In addition to Moriwaki, the group includes Saki Tateno, Yuka Nihei, Mitsuho Fukudome, Kei Fubuki, and Mirichamu, all of whom are well known to “NOBROCK TV” fans. What was the deciding factor in choosing these girls?
All of them have a kind of straight-forwardness and purity at their core, which makes me want to support them. In fact, the members are getting along very well with each other, and we, who work with them, like them all. I think it is important for idols that the staff become fans first.
The members of “DRAW♡ME” have appeared in “FRIDAY” in gravure and interviews. We asked “P. Sakuma” to tell us what kind of charms each of them has.
First of all, Miri is a really nice guy. She is a responsible and kind gal. She loves animals and is also a shelter cat activist. She always works hard on projects, and I think she has a decent sense of humanity.
Fukudome (Mitsuho) is nervous, strict with herself, and has an unstable personality (laughs), but she has a lot of explosive power. She is most interesting when she speaks freely, and she always goes above and beyond what is expected of her.
Tatsuno (Saki) can do everything right, but she is too serious and takes things too seriously, more so than anyone else. It’s tough in the entertainment industry because people who do things right have to keep doing them right. It is more enjoyable for those who are more or less proper. That is my only concern.
Nihei (Yuka) has had a hard time in the past and is skilled in singing and variety. However, her personal life is not so proper, which is an interesting “gap. As an idol group, she also helps us with singing.
Kei Fubuki is interesting in the gap between her stoic and serious personality and the many erotic jobs she does. Nihei-san’s sloppiness in his private life and seriousness at work are interesting, but Fubuki-san is the opposite. Her work is sexy and she does a lot of variety, but her real name, “Mizuki,” is serious and single-minded.
Moriwaki-san is …… really strange. She looks like she has nothing, but she seems to have everything important as a person. He must have been born into a really good family.”
You can see all the gravures and interviews she has done so far on “FRIDAY Subscription!
We want to send out the message that ‘being an uncle is fun!
The song “Gomenne for being honest” by these unique girls has been receiving a great response immediately after its release. The lyrics were written by Tamaya 2060% (Wieners), who has written songs for “Double FIGHT!” (CANDY TUNE) and Denpagumi.inc, and the choreography was created by Makita Sako, who has created “buzz-worthy choreography” for the likes of Cho Tokimeki Hands-on Advertising Department and FRUITS ZIPPER.
I heard that Tamaya-san seems to like “NOBROCK TV” a lot, so I asked him to do it. I had been working with Tamaya-san for “Maji Uta” for a long time, so I felt confident that he understood the balance between laughter and emo.
I didn’t really think Mr. Makita would do it (laugh), but if it was Tamaya’s song, I wanted to ask him to do it. When I contacted Mr. Makita, he had actually watched “NOBROCK TV” and gave me his OK.

The unique idol “DRAW♡ME” was truly realized through the combined efforts of people who love the YouTube channel “NOBROCK TV.
I had the image that YouTube was for people who started early or were young and cool, In the beginning, I thought it would be very difficult to reach one million subscribers. I was surprised to see the number of subscribers exceed 3 million by 2025.
How do you feel about continuing your YouTube channel? I think my experience of running programs for a long time during my time at the TV station may have also come in handy. Ultimately, though, it is also a matter of feeling, I also value the theory that this part of the program is getting old, so I should increase the number of projects in this part of the program.
On the other hand, one of the great attractions of YouTube is the freedom to do what you want. In my sub-channel (“BS No Block – Shimbashi Herohero-dan”), where I go out drinking and driving around town, I would like to convey the message that “being an uncle is fun. In this day and age, people tend to think of uncles as something unpleasant. But I would like to show people that getting older is not necessarily a bad thing. I would like to keep this as a guideline as I work as a 50-something.
DRAW♡ME” was born from a YouTube channel and is now venturing out into the real world. Fans have already voiced their hopes that the group will continue its activities, but …….
“For now, we are only thinking up to the live concert on February 3. …… First of all, we will make this live concert the best one yet. I am now thinking that I want to make it exciting so that the girls will be glad they have worked so hard.”
Delivery tickets are now on sale for “NOBROCK FES 2026 – The night I talked about my dream and it came true” at the National Grand Hall in Pacifico Yokohama, Kanagawa, to be held on February 3.
