Yukimomo

Yukimomo is the slash ship between Yukito Orikasa and Momose Sunohara from the IDOLiSH7 fandom.

Re:member
Their relationship first began as Momo being a fan of Yuki's. After getting injured before an important match, he felt as if his dreams were crushed. His sister, Ruri, invited him to go see an idol duo, Re:vale, which consists of Yuki and Banri Ogami. After witnessing the concert, Momo felt as if his world had been turned around and immediately became a fan. Afterwards, Momo wrote a letter to Yuki, which in turn changed how Yuki viewed his audience.

As male fans were rare in their audience, Momo stuck out to Banri and Yuki in the crowd, which resulted in them nicknaming him "Captain". During a Christmas live, Momo protected Banri and Yuki on stage, knocking down several guys trying to attacked them. After the event, which was named "Bloody Eve", Momo apologized profusely to Banri and Yuki, who nicknamed him "Mad Dog", and they asked him for his number in return. Momo was hired as staff, and began to work for the both of them.

Right before Yuki and Banri's debut, Banri got into an accident onstage. A light fixture dropped down, and injured Banri, who disappeared leaving only a note behind, and Yuki begun searching for him.

Momo knocked on his door every single day afterwards at 11AM sharp, begging for Yuki to sing again, and to form Re:vale with him for the 5 years he's worked with Banri. Yuki finally agreed, and Re:vale was rebooted with Momo.

Initially, Momo didn't know how to dance or sing. He took to dancing naturally, due to his experience in soccer, In order to pay living costs and lesson costs, Momo started working multiple part-time jobs, as Yuki was generally unskilled in most jobs. Yuki felt extremely guilty for causing the younger one of the pair to look after him, and desperately tried to cook and create songs, but the lingering trauma of Ban's incident stopped many of these efforts.

Eventually, the two are signed to Okazaki Productions, and both Momo and Yuki put in their full effort to make their partner's life easier, with Momo forming connections in the industry and Yuki finding acting jobs. Eventually, Momo breaks down into tears, feeling guilty for causing Yuki pain with his inexperience. Yuki comforts him with a hug, telling Momo how much just his presence means to him, and stroking his hair. Being with Momo has changed him, teaching him how warm it is to truly love and be able to smile at someone.

Part 2
Part 2 is first introduced with Yuki and Momo's characters, and that they're going to celebrate their 5th anniversary together. Overhearing a conversation Yuki was having on the phone, Momo realized that Yuki was still searching for his partner, Banri, and remembered that he was 'out of time'.

In the following days, Momo begins to lose his voice, and feels unable to sing on stage afterwards. Yuki is quite worried, wondering if someone is out to harm Momo due to their decision to cover the famous idol Zero's song Dis one. However, after a medical examination, Momo states that it's a purely psychosomatic occurrance.

In a dressing room with some of the younger idols, Momo spills his worries about being replaced, which Yuki ends up hearing, telling him that it's a silly worry to have, and that he's not planning on replacing Momo in the slightest. Yuki affirms to Momo that "until the day the world ends, you are my one and only partner." Yet, Momo still isn't able to sing, worrying Yuki further, as this means Momo didn't truly believe in Yuki's words.

The days until the 5th anniversary live pass, until, eventually, it's the day of their live. In the dressing room, Yuki spots one of their junior idols, Yamato, doing something with Momo's soda. Yuki proceeds to grab Yamato by the collar, shouting that he'll never forgive him, as to him, Momo is a far better singer than Zero ever was. In the end, though, Yamato wasn't doing anything, and this was all to clear up Momo's fears that he's still less important to Yuki than Ban was. Finally, Momo regains his ability to sing, and their 5th anniversary live goes perfectly.

Rabbit Chats and Rabbit TVs
Both Yuki and Momo frequently mention and bring each other up by name in Rabbit chats.

In Gaku's "Zodiac" Rabbitchat (Part 5), he mentions Yuki asking Momo to carry him "like a princess". Momo proceeds to do so, only for Gaku to comment on how intimate it looked, to the point of feeling he was watching something he shouldn't.

In Momo's "Xmas Magic" Rabbitchat, he tells Tsumugi of a sleepover at Yuki's house. According to Momo, he tried waking up Yuki, only for him to reply that he thought Momo is an angel and fell back asleep. Seeing him, Momo got sleepy again and "went back to bed with him".

Songs
Yuki and Momo have sung 22 songs together as a duet, and have sung 2 solo songs each. Most of the songs are composed and written by Yuki in-universe, but some song lyrics are written by Momo.


 * It's -ALL- for you

The song is a special rendition of the season 2 ending song Mirai Notes wo Kanadete. In this duet, Yuki and Momo are singing to each other about their feelings towards each other, and how they wish to continue their futures with each other.


 * Sennen Saki mo Zutto...

Yuki's solo song. The song lyrics imply that Yuki is singing to Momo, as they match up with their history together. It often refers to moments from the Re:member manga.
