　The six-member middle-aged comedian idol group "Manretsu," produced by Terauchi of Kuroobi, affiliated with Yoshimoto Kogyo, is set to release their debut song "A-11" on various music streaming services starting from 0:00 AM on May 6th (Wednesday/Holiday).

　This work is a classic idol song depicting a love story between comedians and their audience, set against the backdrop of Yoshimoto Manzai Theater (commonly known as Mangeki). The lyrics were written by the leader and producer, Techi (Terauchi of Kuroobi), and the music was composed by Shinnosuke, formerly of SOUL’d OUT. The title "A-11," named after the seat number A-11 in the front row center of Mangeki (Osaka), expresses the sentiment, "No matter which seat you're in, you are special to us."

　Manretsu is a comedian idol group formed by six members: Techi (Terauchi of Kuroobi), HERO (Eisuke Hiroki of Derumapange), Norinon (Takanori of Two Tribe), Sakkun (Kenichiro Sakurai of Gion), Higashity (Ryosuke Higashi of Double Higashi), and Hammer (Hamada of Kabe Poster). Formed in August 2025, their debut song 'A-11' was performed at the "Omisoka Daisaiten 2025" held at Mangeki on December 31, 2025 (Wednesday). A performance held at YES Theater in February this year sold out instantly, making them one of the most talked-about units.

　Furthermore, a special live performance with NMB48 has been decided for May 10th (Sunday), 2026, at COOL JAPAN PARK OSAKA WW Hall. The performers are expected to be Ayaka Sakurada, Keito Shiotsuki, Nao Shinzawa, Yayoi Tatsumoto, Rei Haga, and Mai Hirayama from NMB48 (six members in total). With the concept of "Let's learn idol power!", they aim to deliver a stage where they learn from NMB48, who are also based in Osaka, and strive for further growth. On the day of the event, NMB48 will also perform live, and a joint send-off event by NMB48 and Manretsu is also planned after the performance. Advance ticket applications begin today at 11:00 AM via FANY Ticket.
