Seiko Oomori and 0.1g no Gosan stage their own scandal to launch ‘Final Dead Love Letter’

Alternative idol Seiko Oomori and visual kei band 0.1g no Gosan launched their collaboration track ‘Final Dead Love Letter’ with a staged romance leak that appeared on the same X exposé account which had spent much of May posting allegations about the band.

The music video was released on June 19th. A separate streaming release for the song has yet to be announced.

On June 18th, DEATHDOL NOTE’s secondary account posted photographs of Oomori and 0.1g no Gosan vocalist You Midorikawa under the heading “romance scoop”. The Japanese X exposé account is known for publishing alleged leaks, rumours, and private photographs involving idols and other public figures, often before the claims have been independently verified.

The images included a screenshot from Oomori’s Instagram story, paparazzi-style shots of the pair in a car and eating together, and more conventional photographs resembling ones taken on a date. Presented in the same style as the account’s usual celebrity exposés, the post attracted more than 12 million views.

Photos shared on DEATHDOL NOTE’s secondary account.

One day later, Oomori revealed that the apparent leak had been staged to promote the collaboration. She said the photographs had been taken deliberately after filming the music video and thanked subscribers she referred to as “shitatomo” for helping the sequence of events unfold.

Whether DEATHDOL NOTE knew it was part of a promotional campaign or published the images believing they were genuine remains unclear.

DEATHDOL NOTE had already spent much of May publishing widely viewed allegations about 0.1g no Gosan and its members, making it an especially fitting place for the fake scoop to appear.

In early May, the account alleged that a long-standing fan known online as Akagami Neki, a nickname roughly meaning “red-haired big sis”, was Midorikawa’s girlfriend and had occupied the centre-front position at the band’s concerts for around a decade. The post attracted more than 30 million views. Midorikawa later described her as a “comrade-in-arms” and said the band would continue its activities.

Oomori had already name-checked DEATHDOL NOTE in ‘Shinsekai Tokyo BLUE’, a song she wrote and composed for the men’s idol group Zavage. The lyrics include the line “let’s run away from Desudoru”, the account’s nickname. Masawo Mado, a visual kei musician and idol producer who publicly identified himself as DEATHDOL NOTE’s founder in 2025, later responded on X: “Seiko Oomori, you shouldn’t put Desudoru in your lyrics. It’s sensitive.”

The staged scoop also echoed the obsessive fan-and-idol dynamic at the centre of ‘Final Dead Love Letter’. Written by Midorikawa, the song follows an increasingly dangerous fan pursuing her idol, with Oomori voicing the character as she frantically reads from a series of disturbing diary entries. Midorikawa described it as “a cute but thrilling piece”, while the video matches its increasingly unhinged lyrics with equally extreme imagery.

Oomori plays a devoted fan of Midorikawa whose bedroom is covered in posters and cheki photographs of the vocalist. Her obsession escalates from following him to kidnapping him, before the story takes a violent turn as she decides her idol must belong to her alone.

In her Instagram caption, Oomori said the stunt was also intended to help Midorikawa move past the effects of his first major online controversy.

“Sorry for surprising everyone with the leak!

When we filmed the collaboration MV with Gosan, it had only been three weeks since You-san’s first online controversy. He had completely shut himself away, become gaunt and was terrified, saying things like, ‘What if I’m being wiretapped?’ I’ve been through exactly the same thing, so I understood how he felt, and it was painful to see.

When you’re caught up in an online controversy, whether you’re blaming yourself or blaming others, the whole world starts to look like the enemy. It’s frightening.

Even so, I could sense how determined he was to bet everything on the new song and change his situation.

I wanted him to get over that trauma as quickly as possible by turning the controversy to his advantage, so on the way home from filming, I went to take the photographs for the leak and put together this whole sequence of events.

Thank you as well to all the subscription fans, the shitatomo, who helped make the sequence happen with us.

Leave it to Pinkugami Neki 💖”

Seiko Oomori

In the final line, Oomori refers to herself as “Pinkugami Neki”, a play on Akagami Neki, the fan at the centre of Midorikawa’s earlier controversy.

Midorikawa replied to the post, writing: “I was in a pretty dangerous situation back then. Thank you so much!!”
