NOMELON NOLEMON

Overview

NOMELON NOLEMON (nicknamed "Nomero") is a Japanese J-POP duo made up of composer Tsumiki and vocalist Mikimaria.

Tsumiki is a Vocaloid producer who created many songs, beginning with "Phony." Besides composing, he plays drums, guitar and other instruments in music videos and live shows. Mikimaria also works as a singer-songwriter and sometimes plays guitar while singing live.

The unit's name was deliberately chosen to carry no particular meaning, so that the music would never feel bound to a fixed concept. It reflects the wish to cram all kinds of musical genres into a name that simply looks beautiful.
