A collaboration project between 'Tebasaki Sensation' (commonly known as Tebasen), a female idol group active mainly in Nagoya that started its 3rd phase in June 2025, and the famous restaurant chain 'Sekai no Yamachan' (SY Food Co., Ltd.), which is also based in Nagoya.
On April 1st, as an April Fools' Day project, Ms. Kumi Yamamoto, owner of 'Sekai no Yamachan', will join 'Tebasaki Sensation' for one day only as a surprise new member (and new leader).
## 'Why did you participate in this Tebasaki Sensation project?'
'Representative Yamamoto': 'When the members visited our head office last autumn, they left a very good impression, and their genuine desire to 'liven up Nagoya' really came across. Besides, the name Tebasaki Sensation has such a great impact and is really interesting (laughs). Tied to a Nagoya specialty, it has a strong regional flavor, so you can strongly feel their 'love for Nagoya'. Their live performances also give you energy. Both Sekai no Yamachan and Tebasaki Sensation originate from Nagoya. I felt that teaming up cultures born from our hometown is a highly significant project for creating touchpoints with the youth and strengthening the broadcasting of Nagoya culture. Food and entertainment have high affinity, and I hope this initiative leads to the creation of new value.'
## 'What are your thoughts on wearing an idol outfit?'
'Representative Yamamoto': 'When I first saw the costume, I thought 'It's cute!' I never expected to be on the side of wearing something cute (laughs). But when I tried it on... I thought, 'Maybe I can pull this off?' It was a very valuable experience as I got to feel the consciousness and nervousness of someone standing on a stage.'
### 'What are your thoughts on the Sekai no Yamachan × Tebasaki Sensation collaboration?'
'Tebasen': 'When we first heard about the collaboration, we were very surprised, but we are truly happy to have received such a wonderful opportunity. As idols from Nagoya, and as idols bearing the name 'Tebasaki' (chicken wings), we feel overjoyed! We will cause a 'Sensation' with 'Sekai no Yamachan' and 'Tebasaki', and 'Not just lip service, we will flap our wings out to the world with chicken wings!!'
### Sekai no Yamachan is a leading representative of 'Nagoya cuisine'.
### On the other hand, Tebasaki Sensation is also an 'idol representing Nagoya'.
### This 'Tebasaki × Tebasaki' = a multiplication of local cultures, and it will surely be a symbolic collaboration broadcasting the 'Now of Nagoya'!
We plan to sell collaboration goods such as T-shirts, acrylic keychains, and stickers.
