Meimei is releasing her first album, 無花果 (Ichijiku), on April 8th. She's also releasing an MV/cover video collection on the same day.

Ichijiku MV (Full ver.)


Add some scene variations along with some choreo, and this could be an idol group song, lol. It's definitely her most interesting song so far imo.

New KANEBO CM has a song covered by an unknown singer. Rumor is going around it may be Ayaya.

Does sound kinda like her, especially toward the end?

Former Morning Musume member Ichii Sayaka is holding an idol group audition through the mysta app. She's listed as producer, while OG Hello! Project and AKB48 (among many others) choreographer/dancer Mayumi Natsu will be in charge of dance. Musician, author, and TRY-m-COMPANY entertainment producer Takashi Mizuki is the production representative. The theme song for the audition will be performed by Ichii (at least in part, the artist is listed as "featuring Ichii Sayaka+with d."). Details (as best I could manage) in the spoiler.

This.. is interesting. While I'm all for older idol groups I had to laugh at the idea of a 15 year old standing with someone nearing their 40's on stage. That age gap is wild

[Yattaruchan]

I really don't know what to think of Ichi anymore. She's all over the place.

[Shoujo Q]

Ichi seems like the type of person that just wants to be famous and be in the spotlight and is trying to find any means necessary to do so.
