For our second Christmas 2025 debut, meet Oishii Shokuzai which translates as “delicious redemption” or “delicious atonement.” Their motto is “Hymn of Redemption, Dance of Forgiveness.” They are produced by OISHII.inc so they will be a rather dark sister act to Oishii Amai and Oishii Mitzutama.

- Uzume Kitto (current Oishii Aimai)
- Nemuri Yoiyami (ex. Oishii Aimai)
