On August 24, Tsubaki Factory released the digital song "Nineteen no Shinkirou ('19 Summer Ver.)". Asakura Kiki, who has been on a break from activities since May in order to treat a lumbar disc herniation, is absent from the recording.[30]

On April 14, it was announced that their first hall concert tour would be cancelled due to the government's declaration of emergency following the spread of the coronavirus getting worse.[35]
On June 30, a selection of songs performed at the Hello! Project Hina Fes 2020 <Tsubaki Factory Premium> concert were livestreamed on the official Tsubaki Factory YouTube channel, being available until July 5. During the livestream, Tsubaki Factory provided commentary and gave gifts via lottery for those who watched the live premiere of the stream.[36] They also announced that their seventh single, "Dansha-ISM / Ima Nanji?" would be releasing on September 30.[37]
Group Name Origin
The name Tsubaki Factory (つばきファクトリー) literally means "Camellia Factory". Hello! Project advisor Shimizu Saki (formerly of Berryz Koubou) assisted in picking the group name.[38]
The camellia (tsubaki) was "decided with praising the noble and cold beauty and wanting the group to be fresh and strong like the evergreen."[38] The word "factory", also used in the name of their sister group Kobushi Factory, is named to reference Berryz Koubou ("koubou" meaning "workshop"), so that the group may carry on Berryz Koubou's spirit.[38]
