≠ME [not equal me]

SHIORIN OMG WELCOME BACK

 

I suck with ≠ME names besides Miruten - who is the center here?

 

^ their immovable center-sama Tomita Nanaka

 

And at the evening concert Natsumi returned and a tour was announced with the finale at Budokan!

 

So many great things happened
And when the screen showed Tokyo, I was shouting to myself Budokan !!!!
Man ... the crowd was roaring with cheers when announced .
Great to hear call & Responses from the crowd again ... its these reactions that make the show a greater atmosphere

 

glad that everyone's back and tour with 2 days Budoukan finale looks stronger than ever!

btw, tour title 'We Shout "I am Me"' is the last line of Tenshi wa Doko e - Sakebe! I am Me

So pretty

They seem to be doing really well both sales-wise and the views on the new video is growing much faster than any of their previous releases.

 

They sold slightly 10k more than their previous single.
Really loving the single so far! Wasn't the biggest fan of Hanikami.

Hmm I'm not gonna lie ... the c/w with ShioMiru .... for a split sec .... when I heard them singing, HKT48's NakoMiku image pop into my head.

 

I think the title translates as '2:30 Rock'n'Roll'?

This song is so cute, I can't get enough of it

 

Why is Tomita the immovable center? Is she Sashihara's super ace?

I heard she auditioned for Sakamichi Joint Audition in 2018. It's a mystery for many why she was ignored.
Akimoto probably recommended her to Sashihara to get in touch with her because Akimoto's plate was already full.
That's the only reason I can see it. Sony would never turn down on a talent but Akimoto was an advisor.

And can somebody explain for me what theme is Noimi. It has never been clear to me when their logo is a diamond.

 

Sony would absolutely turn down on a talent as so many people audition for their groups that there's bound to be plenty of potentially very successful idols who don't make the cut. Saya and Hana both also failed the Sakamichi Joint Audition and Emiri and Hitomi form =Love failed the Nogizaka 3rd gen audition. Saying Akimoto recommended her to Sasshi seems like a massive leap of logic to me, the simpler explanation is she didn't audition well enough/wasn't the type they were looking for.
