Idol Career
Nani (なに) is a Japanese idol and singer and a member of the group You’ll Melt More! (ゆるめるモ！).
Her first public appearance within the group’s ecosystem came on September 25, 2019, when she was introduced as a member of the trainee unit Pupil More! (ぴゅーぴるモ！).
On February 7, 2020, it was announced that she and fellow trainee Nerun would join the main lineup of You’ll Melt More!.
Shortly after joining the group, live activities were heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nani has described this period as a difficult beginning, since many of the usual experiences of a new idol—crowd reactions, frequent shows, and momentum—were suddenly limited.
Role in You’ll Melt More!
In interviews, Nani describes performing as a responsibility rather than something that depends on mood. She has said that if fans are waiting, appearing on stage is simply the natural thing to do.
She is known for speaking directly and honestly, and has described herself as someone who dislikes indecisive or “wishy-washy” attitudes.
After joining the group, several senior members graduated in a relatively short period of time. Nani has explained that these changes made her feel that she needed to help carry the group’s “signboard” earlier than expected.
Personality and Relationships
Nani often describes her emotions as strong and straightforward. Her speaking style is blunt, and she prefers clear action rather than hesitation.
Within the current lineup of You’ll Melt More!, she has described her relationship with Nerun as particularly close. She has referred to Nerun as a “war buddy,” emphasizing how important their partnership has been during difficult periods for the group.
Musical Perspective
When talking about the parts of idol activity she enjoys the most, Nani has said that she particularly likes recording songs. She enjoys the challenge of performing well in the recording booth and feels satisfaction when she successfully delivers a strong vocal take.
She has also said that she prefers one-man lives to multi-artist events, because the audience is made up of people who already support the group, creating a stronger shared atmosphere.
When discussing favorite songs from the group’s catalog, she has pointed to tracks where the lyrics resonate strongly with her.
