Maika's been in the program for a year. This is the only program we get to see her speaking in cute English. Now , it's Moeko's turn. I can't wait to see how she will handle the show.
I got into equal love a few months ago and have been obsessed with them ever since. I recently started listening to some noimi songs and have been enjoying them so far. But i got really surprised by the announcement for the new members audition since i imagined they were doing well and also getting more attention as the sister group of a new national powerhouse that equal love has turned into. I figured they weren't going to be as popular as =love, but are they having a rough time with the general public?
I started thinking that maybe sasshi wants to strengthen them by adding new members for two possibilities: 1) equal love disbanding soon since they've been active for almost 10 years and the ikonoijoy brand collapsing 2) more noimi members are planning to graduate. Are these actually probable? Did the announcement impact the groups popularity? Are the general public talking more about them? Sashihara has showed herself to be a very good producer, so i think the group is in good hands, but watching the video and them talking that "noimi is not going to make it like this" made me wonder if they arent actually doing as well as i had imagined.
And I haven't looked into niajoys history but I did get startled when i learned they are on the fourth year but only have 4 singles. I took a look in their discography and noticed that they had a lot of digital singles and that it took a while between the debut and 1st single, a pattern that doesnt show up with the other groups.
SASHI, WHY???!!!

Edit: I hope this is just testing the waters because I don't see any positive results in this
Ever since I first saw ≠ME, for some reason seeing Natsuu reminded me of someone, she just looks familiar but I just couldn't put my finger on it...
That is until I remembered Utsumi Kazuko, who was a member of the 1980s Idol Group: The Onyanko Club!
So what do you guys think? Do These look similar to each other?? And I don't know if it's just me, but I'll even go as far to say that these look like they could be related. Seriously, it's like a family resemblance! At least to me.
