Apuga(Kari)'s Aoyagi Yume celebrated her 22nd birthday with a livestream. She displayed childhood photos while talking about growing up. Near the end, the other girls from her band (and their manager!) surprised her by singing happy birthday and bringing a cake onto the set, as well as a sweater that said "Huggable Kittens" on it, and somewhat unconvincingly came in a Chanel bag. (Seina couldn't make it but called in.) At the end she mentioned some upcoming apparances as well.

The Nikis announced that they would be changing to new colors:

Spoiler:

They didnt really change except Chinatsu, and she was already begging to have that colour. Guess it was just a matter of time and I think it suits her and the group harmony. I was already accostumed to the idea even though it didn't really happened until now.

Yeah I was kind of alluding to that in the spoiler

You had me going, I thought for sure everyone else also changed it until I saw the spoiler

I really love this song. I'm here for Dream Pop in general and J-Pop in general so their intersection is like

^ Speaking of dance covers I don't think I ever posted this months-old clip of Hoochan doing her take on the whole "Sign wa B" meme (also famously covered by Kirara around the same time, as pointed out by Amped).



And here they are at Tower Records earlier today performing their entire "2kaime no Seishun" EP (including HIGH COLOR NEW COLOR)

My two favorite Niki members are chatting together. The get along so well with a big sis/little sis relationship.
A fan mentions that he won some juice from a vending machine, and asks them what's the most amazing thing that happened to them.

Yuria says she bought a ticket in a Crayon Shin-chan/Hello Kitty lottery on a lark, not really expecting to win anything, but ended up winning the first prize which was an unxpectedly nice big-ass clock.

Hoochan is a good daughter. She apologizes for her rudeness in saying that the most amazing thing for her has been being born into the Sasaki family after her parents weren't expecting more kids. And having such a wonderful pair of parents who raised her with her personality.
