Kamikaze Sensation

 (神風センセーション) is a Kamikaze themed underground metal idol group formed in January 2018. They are based in Fukuoka, Japan.

History
They performed at the Tokyo Idol Festival in 2018.

A standard show in Fukuoka is called sorties which are performed at the Voodoo lounge in the Chuo Ward.

They have performed multiple times outside of Fukuoka, which they call Expeditions. Apart from Fukuoka, they have performed predominantly in Tokyo, but also in Nagoya, Osaka, and one time in Okinawa.

The group's leader is Kitasaki Nagisa, who is also the groups' choreographer.

On April 28, 2018, Honda Asuka was promoted from a trainee member to a regular member. Her promotion was decided during the live "CHANGE THE WORLD vol.1", where the customers voted on which trainees would be promoted.

In March 2019, Amagi Saaya graduated from Kamikaze Sensation to focus on school and in her other group, Perfo★ism. (She would graduate from them on February 1, 2020)

After Saaya's graduation the group faced internal struggles between members which ended with the departure of Shinozaki Nozomi from all group activities in May 2019, and Saaya coming back temporarily for their May expedition in Okinawa. Nozomi officially graduated in July 2019 and after leaving she announced publicly that her graduation was due to a severe mental health diagnosis.

After Nozomi's departure, the group increased its expeditions in Tokyo. They partnered with ZOMBIE POWDER, including a cooperative song that has been performed once, but has not yet been released.

On January 2020, during their 2nd anniversary live show "To Soar", Nagisa announced that she has been accepted in a performing arts school in Tokyo to study dance, but will continue to act as leader and member of Kamikaze Sensation.

Kamikaze Sensation also announced that they are currently holding auditions for a new member to join the Kamikaze Corps. However, they are posting for auditions up on talent search inquiries since October 2019.

On March 18, 2020, Komatsu Akari announced on twitter that after talking with family and management, she will reluctantly graduate from Kamikaze Sensation. According to both Kamikaze Sensation and Akari it is due to family circumstances.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Kamikaze Sensation has remained active, performing no audience shows online as well as nearly daily youtube videos of Nagida and Asuka playing games and performing challenges. They seem to have abandon their Showroom and MixChannel platforms. Due to Japanese school's restarting in late May and June most of these activities have occured in Tokyo so Nagisa doesn't have to travel as much for school. With Asuka spending over a month in Tokyo with her during this time, it is unknown how she is accommodating her own academics away from Fukuoka

They plan to return to live shows with limited audience members for an expedition in Tokyo in August, however recent spikes in COVID-19 positive cases within Tokyo entertainment wards have put these expedition performances into question.

Late on August 9, 2020 Asuka Honda blinded sided Kamikaze Sensation staff, and fellow member Nagisa Kitasaki by quitting the group. There will be no graduation show, and that all remaining Tokyo shows in august are canceled. Nagisa posted on twitter that she was completely surprised, she felt sad, alone and wasn't sure if Kamikaze Sensation should continue, but promised to continue on even if by herself. As part of the Kamikaze Sensation official twitter announcement they are still auditioning for members.

Asuka has cut nearly all ties since the announcement. Asuka's only message sent out after official statement she left was an answer to a question on her Cheers account. "I can only apologize. I'm scared to stand on stage.  sorry.  I love everyone.  Thank you for what you have done."

There is no official word on the fate of Kamikaze Sensation, as of August 9, 2020.
