Did we… maybe… fool you??

Today is, what day is it? Huh-huh♪

April 1 is April Fools’ Day.April Fools’ Day.April Fools’ Day.

First, take a look at Kabutoyama and cool your head↓

（I can almost hear you saying, “Enough already.”）

This time, we put our hearts into bringing you this joke under the theme of “bringing vitamins to everyday COVID fatigue.” （Half a lie

No, even if it was for eyesight care, Kabutoyama Tsushin is just not happening. Right?

“Nishinomiya Tsushin” Is Becoming “Kabutoyama Tsushin”

2021年4月1日

Now then.

To those who saw today’s article and were surprised when it turned into Kabutoyama after 20 seconds, wondering “What’s going on??”

And to those who were shocked after seeing the announcement that we were “changing to Kabutoyama Tsushin.”

We’re sorry we tricked you.

Starting tomorrow (4/2), we’ll be back to business as usual as “Nishinomiya Tsushin”!!

What We Did for April Fools’ Day 2021

This time, we made some subtle changes that would make you think, “If you noticed that, you’re pretty impressive.”

For now, here they are in order from easiest to notice:

1. After 20 seconds, article images were replaced with Kabutoyama images
2. The title logo was changed
3. The colors of the table of contents and other elements changed to green
4. An image recruiting Kabutoyama photos
5. Changed to the Kabutsuu popular article ranking
6. Kabutoyama Photo and Kabutoyama Topics categories
7. Changed the article page byline to “writer name @ Kabutsuu”
8. Changed to Kabutsuu article search (PC)
9. The calligraphy in Kabutsuu members’ profile photos changed to “甲”
10. On the member introduction page, Kabu-san became the official character

The farther down the list, the harder they were to notice, I think.

Here’s a quick archive so that years from now we can look back and say, “Ah, 2021 was the year of Kabutoyama Tsushin.”

After 20 Seconds, Article Images Were Replaced with Kabutoyama Images

The article on the day↓

After viewing it for 20 seconds↓

Only Kabutoyama was displayed.

However, people who finished reading the article within 20 seconds wouldn’t have noticed.

The Title Logo Was Changed

The Table of Contents and Other Colors Turned Green

Nishitsuu is usually orange.

When you pressed the “Hee!” button, we changed it to green.
Only people who pressed it during both Nishitsuu and Kabutsuu would have noticed

It’s actually this↓

Kabu-san became the official character↓

Back on active duty↓

(Nishitsuu official character: Nishitsuudori)

For this day, we had Shachou @ daughter draw a new character for us. A rare character for one day only. We’ll make merch someday

The calligraphy in the profile photo. Most people probably didn’t notice it, did they? It’s on the member introduction page and, on PC, in the sidebar, but anyone who noticed this is at a level where we’d want to send them 100 Nishitsuu stickers.

So that’s how we turned things into Kabutoyama Tsushin.

By the way, here’s the list of articles from that day↓
Looks like “DAISO” is coming to Ekiima Imazu
“Spaghetti Meat Sauce,” “Mixed Sandwich,” and more from “Cafeteria Guten Tag” (Kabutoyama-cho) [Kabutsuu Gourmet]
We looked into “Kabutoyama”
Today’s Kabutoyama [Kabutoyama Photo]
Event information quarterly paper “Kabunyu”

For longer articles like the gourmet piece, you probably couldn’t read to the end because the “Kabutoyama photo” got in the way. Kabutoyama is now hidden, so please take your time reading them.

Also, quite unexpectedly, we received some comments that seemed ready to accept Kabutoyama Tsushin, and we thought, “Maybe we could just keep going like this…” But with some regret, we’re going back to Nishinomiya Tsushin.
