≠ME [not equal me]

This is soooo good. I was so hooked from the first moment it was released. When I first heard it, I thought at first it was a Miruten centre while only half paying attention to the MV, until I read the description. I'm happy for Momo, but this would've also fit Miruten imo, weirdly, compared to her other b-side centre

This song is alright, it's not necessarily my favourite but that's mainly because this single overall is sooo strong that it just doesn't stand out next to the others.

I thought Momoiro Daybreak was gonna be my favourite song on the single, but then I heard this song and I'm blown away... this is exactly my taste!

Also, on another note, ≠ME was one of my top 5 artists of the year 2022 on Spotify Here's the lists that made it into my auto-generated top 100 playlist:

4. Chocolate Melancholy
13. Kimi wa Sparkle (Chocolate Melancholy)
20. Mahoraba Asterisk
24. #OffShoulderKnit (Chocolate Melancholy)
29. Niji ga Kakaru Shunkan (Chocolate Melancholy)
43. Su, Suki Janai!
71. Teyuuka, Miruten-tte Nani? (Chou Tokkyuu ≠ME Yuki)

Not sure if I'm allowed to post these images but... I finally got to unbox all the Noimii releases I had pre-ordered this year (although there's more on the way) and the HMV bonus photobooks are SO GOOD (especially for the 4th single) that I wish they had done this for all singles/albums so far. Imagine.
