The music project 'NECLOGOS,' born from 'HundredNote'—Kodansha's cross-media content with over 1.6 million YouTube subscribers—is finally launching.
On the eve of the release of its first single 'Aftermath,' starting tomorrow, June 18 (Thu), the character visuals of the four members of NECLOGOS—Yem, Kuremu, Ere, and Rei—have been unveiled.
NECLOGOS is a four-member music unit composed of Yem, Kuremu, Ere, and Rei, who belong to NEST Public Relations, the unified detective organization featured in 'HundredNote.' All members possess the special ability 'Seven Voices,' enabling them to replicate various 'voices' regardless of gender, age, or social hierarchy. This project aims to musically mourn and elevate the 'emotions' of individuals involved in cases that are inevitably overlooked during detective investigations.
Additionally, the music video for the first single 'Aftermath,' produced by suisoh and featuring vocals by aruma, inspired by the 'HundredNote' storyline 'Lost Humanity / Nightowl,' will premiere on the official YouTube channel tomorrow, June 18 (Thu) at 19:00.

[What is NECLOGOS?]
Project 'NECLOGOS'
The 'Necros' project. The words of the dead. An initiative to pin lost people, things, and events caused by incidents into the present world.
The Public Relations Department has adopted 'music' as a means to accomplish this mission. Inevitably, elements that 'cannot be resolved by merely arresting culprits or solving cases' fall through the cracks. To collect individual circumstances, motives, and the 'emotions' embedded in crimes, re-present them to the world, and mourn what has been lost, the department uses sound and poetry.
This is Project 'NECLOGOS.'
Today, this activity is considered the most important task of the Public Relations Department.
'NECLOGOS'
The four-member core of Project 'NECLOGOS.' A four-member music unit formed by Yem, Kuremu, Ere, and Rei, all belonging to NEST Public Relations. Real names, ages, and other personal details are undisclosed. All members possess the special ability 'Seven Voices,' embodying the 'seven-colored voice,' capable of reproducing almost every human 'voice' regardless of gender, age, or hierarchy.
