EDIT: The 1st Album is called 'Springtime In You' with the first released song in the MV in the post above called 'Last Chance, Last Dance' with Nanaka center.

Loving the PV, song and well album jackets could be more flower/puffy/springtime but better than most of H!P covers LOL.
Song is beautiful spring feeling and well Nanaka center, I guessed it but other one would be nice too.
Loving the release so far!

 

I loved the song! It was really cute. I was really into ≠ME's original vibe being a bit darker than =LOVE and when they started releasing songs like Su, Suki Janai and Hanikami Short, I was a bit confused about their concept, but now with Last Chance, Last Dance, they're growing on me again. The song is just really great.

The CD jackets are a bit meh, I think Anti Confiture was their prettiest cover so far. The Noimii version is possibly my favourite though.

 

Both that first song/MV and the CD jackets bring me back to their indie days with ≠ME and Kimi no Oto Dattanda. Those were my favorite from them so I am far from complaining! Early on, I thought of them as fresher and more energetic (as compared to =Love's then more poised and refined concept). Of course it was just because they were newbies. Look at the girls now, they bloomed to beautifully! But I am really glad to see them dabbing in that fresh high school theme again.

 

Seeing as the offline in-person events for the 1st Album appear to be selling well and as it's currently the final round of the second set of applications, I've made a couple of lists showing the number of sold out slots for each member. The first figure is the number of currently sold out slots for that member and the second is the total number of available slots. (source: Chara-Ani website)

In the online events of which there are nine, the only member to have a sold out slot is Hitomi and she has just the one on 4/14.

(Just to add that on 5/5 when I'll be in Japan and I've already got tickets for =LOVE members in the same place on the same day, I've managed to fit in and get tickets for Hitomi, Nanaka and Miruten.)
