    I've not seen any of it personally (probably because I'm not really in any H!P spaces) but it seems that H!P/Angerme fans have said they're intentionally staying away from ME:I after seeing Momona's showcase fancam. In the M COUNTDOWN fancam, Shizuku is also wearing a crop top so you can see her ribs quite pronounced too. Shiichan addressed this in private mail a couple weeks ago though, saying she's been losing weight despite eating plenty. I wonder if maybe it's stress and being on the go so much lately?

    In any case, I hope the members get to eat enough, get all their nutrients, and get plenty of rest. The road to debut is a stressful one and hopefully the fans can reward the members with success, so they can relax a little bit <3

    I've got an opportunity to visit the 'ME:I _First Time Exhibition' at Tower Shibuya on Sunday evening - it'd be a good time for me as I'll be going to Megu's fanmeet earlier and it finishes too late for me to go to any other event, also some of the late slots on Sunday evening are still available (many of them at other days and times are sold out). Unfortunately ticket buying requires not only SMS registration but also specifically from a JP-based Docomo account. Anyway I'll see what I can do after I arrive in Japan.

    (This is the info page about the exhibition - https://tower.jp/article/news/2024/03/27/p101)

    The B-Side "Sugar Bomb" has been released and with it, also the ME:I versions of &ME and CHOPPY CHOPPY. You can listen to it on all major streaming platforms!

    CHOPPY CHOPPY - Youtube

    Here'a a Click recording from Yoyogi Day 2 (noon performance). Wanted to share this because I absolutely love Rinon's hairstyle here!

    Shizuku, Rinon & Suzu today on J-WAVE STEP ONE (Radio)

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Some comments: The shooting for the Click music video took 4 days and took place in Korea. They said it was rather tough on everyone, especially because one of the shooting locations was really cold.

    When asked how/why they auditioned, Rinon said she had no dancing experience but her mother encouraged her to join the program. Shizuku had wanted to become an idol but was lacking confidence, but similar to Rinon, her mum encouraged her to apply. In Shizuku's case, she recorded the application video but then couldn't make herself send it off so it was even her mum who did it! Suzu was a trainee in Korea and was losing faith in debuting so when she found out about this program, she auditioned, thinking even if she doesn't debut, she will have learned a lot from the experience.

    They said the experience was really tough but that they learned so much about themselves and their own skills, so it's a valuable experience. The host commented that it's a "battle against everyone else but also a battle against yourself," which the members wholeheartedly agreed with. Shizuku also brought up her training as a classical singer and how she overcame changing that.

    Rinon mentioned that she was the least experienced as she hadn't been a trainee or done professional training, but because she's generally very positive, she didn't become frustrated really and kept focusing on debuting. She said how great it felt that viewers still recognised how she grew and changed so she's very grateful for that. She was glad she was able to do dancing, singing and rapping, all of which she hadn't done before on a scale like that.

    Shizuku about Rinon: even though she's younger, she's very considerate and sweet
    Rinon about Shizuku: neither have had any prior dancing experience so they work together a lot and help each other
    Suzu about Rinon & Shizuku: she admires that they never complain despite their lack of experience and just work hard together to catch up

    Cocoro, Momona & Kokona today on Yamazaki Rena no Dareka Hanashikatta Koto. (Radio)

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Some comments: Cocoro said their schedule surrounding the M COUNTDOWN appearance was crazy, they had a schedule in Japan, then took a night flight to Korea, immediately after landing got straight to rehearsing & recording, and then after the recording took a flight back to Japan. She did say she was glad about the experience though.

    Momona shared a story about a "pinch" that the group found themselves in because Ran realised at the gate to exit the airport in Korea that she didn't have her passport. Since they were on such a tight schedule, as Cocoro already mentioned, they almost lost their spot on M COUNTDOWN but Ran luckily got her passport back (it was still on the plane).

    When asked who gets the most nervous before recordings, they all said Keiko. The ones who calm are down are Miu, Tsuzumi and Momona, and apparently Tsuzumi is the most playful about it.
