who need twintails (Iranai Twintail) when you have cutely swaying ponytails (Ponytail Kyurun)?!
a perfect MV to get phone wallpapers from screenshots
the song is super cute too

 

Interview with Nanaka: https://townwork.net/magazine/job/workstyle/110433/?vos=dtwnsnss1614717

Interestingly the ≠ME audition was apparently going to be her last attempt at being an idol.

 

Prepare yourselves for the cutest thing you'll see today.



Me for the entire premiere:

the lyrics are just... even in a song as silly as this Sasshi managed to insert some easter eggs

2:38 - "Feeling like Maeda Acchan"

from Youtube comments:
Mi(3)ruten + Shi(4)orin = Nana(7)ten
3.4.7 - 3rd year of Reiwa, April 7 - today's release date

 

So silly I love it!!!!!
Every song is a bomb!!! Great debut!!!

 

Modelpress has published a very long interview with Moeko and Nanaka:

It's too long for an accurate Google translation but I've pasted below a couple of paragraphs where Sasshi is mentioned:

 

My album arrived today I think this is the first time ever I am receiving a Japanese album on the day of its actual release I got two Nanaka photo cards and I'm just really excited about this ^^ I love the songs on this a lot!

 

My album also arrived today, which I wasn't expecting - it's wild receiving an album from Japan on release day - even better when it's accompanied by a lovely photo card of Moeko. So happy to see this day come after the last couple of years watching the group form and grow, and glad it's sold well, super happy for the girls.

side note: I love the back of the (usually just blank) obi-strip. The design in general is just really nice.

Also good to finally get The Coinlockers album, the Mirinya photobook and a bunch of magazines which were in the same order. I feel like it's my birthday here

 

I've been listening to this album most of today and I'm just so proud of them It's so beautiful to be following a group from the start and watch them group. I really hope the =LOVE / ≠ME members have a long and successful idol career ahead of them!

I'm even more excited now for =LOVE's album to come out, now that ≠ME's has impressed me so much. I can definitely see them become a rival for already well-established groups

 

today's release special event
wow, those live performances with shinkansens in the background were awesome! now I wish there was an actual MV like that

I'm guessing 85.45 is when they find out they got number 1.

I've spent the past day and a half listening to their album up and down. I think I've finally made up my mind, and my favourite song is Teyuuka, Miruten tte Nani. What did other people pick as their favourite song?

I love all the songs though, but I think I'm too familiar with Kuruguru Kakigoori, Kimi to Watashi no Uta, Kimi no Oto Dattanda, ≠ME and Kuuhaku no Hana to be able to place them within a ranking for this album.

Also, does anyone know what exactly kyurun means (in Ponytail Kyurun)? I can see that it is a cute way to say 'kurun' but I can't figure out what kurun means, either.
