in case anyone wonders why Kokoro is trending in the US, she's the only member (former or current) of Cherry Bullet to win on a survival show. It's a big deal for fans of the group! (Especially since CB is overlooked by their own company. :| )

Momona did it! We did it!

That was nerve-wracking. But as soon as Ayane got announced at number 3. I knew Momona was gonna be number 1. I was more worried about Ayane getting to number 1 than Rinon because Ayane fans were really putting a shift in getting her name out.

I had joined Momona's Fandom official Line Open Chat last week, and was watching as they organized support for Momona. It was incredible to see strangers on the internet connect and coordinate at that level just because of their love and support for Momona. I did my part and voted Momoma. It feels so good to see Momona get number 1, because anything below that would have almost felt like a loss.

I think the pronunciation is Me:Eye. The I in ME:I is pronounced like the pronunciation of the English letter I instead of the Japanese pronunciation ee.

I’m so happy for Momona. And the support she got despite the producers trying their best to squash her chances. Ii

Yay! Congrats Momona! I'm so glad she made it all the way to the top!

Spoiler: show
Amped, congrats on Rinon not only making it, but making it to 2nd!

Other than Momona, I'm so happy Keiko made it! I was worried she didn't have enough supporters to make it, but she did! And she gets to debut with Rinon. Also, Kokoro and Momona get to debut together, I'm so happy!

I'm just sad that my last two remaining faves, Paru and Momoka, didn't make it. I hope they get a chance to debut in the near future.

I haven't been following this super closely but I'm happy Ayane made it; she kind of reminds me of Oda. And happy for Momona as well, naturally. I wish Nano had gotten in tho, oh well..

I am truly and sincerely happy to be making my debut. However, this is just the beginning. I will do my best to respond with love and sincerity to the love and support I am receiving now from many people, and I hope to make many dreams come true with my friends. I will do my best!
