is barely been a month since i first heard of them yet in so little time they have proved to be extremely charming and interesting, i feel they are a group to keep an eye on

i think the best introduction to the group is their music, this was the first song i heard of them and is an incredibly fun and quirky song, half into 2022 i can say this is my favorite release of the year



to add more context on Kinopo, they are a six member idol group based in Kyoto, they debuted in late 2021 and started their activities in early 2022, they describe themselves as an "2.5D" group

the members are
  • Koshimizu Miri (小清水美里) Vague Orange
  • Sakurane Ashita (桜寝あした) Bruise Purple
  • Mimori Mico (御守ミコ) Ice Pack Blue
  • Shiratama Iroha (白珠色葉) Artificial Red
  • Midori Kurumi (御堂莉くるみ) Abandoned Green
  • Kohanai Koharu (小花衣こはる) Undercooked Pink

they reason they describe themselves as a 2.5 dimensional group is for their way of interacting with fans that "blurs" the line between seeing them in your screen and watching them in person

first, they run a manga based on themselves, it can be read here

second, in the official website they have a permanent wall that displays fan art of the group

and third, they hold weekly streams where they simply go about their day while interacting with fans, if you like you can go interact with them during the streams, just a few weeks ago they held a 3 hour BBQ party with fans




pretty innovative!

my favorite member is Miri, they have stated they want to tour outside Japan



today they released a new MV, is pretty good, worth checking!

Definitely a group with a lot to offer. Following on Twitter and YouTube.
they remind me a little of "old WACK" that's always good!

there is not much info on them out there, unfortunately the wiki is still pretty bare bones


i've been investigating the group a lot lately so i probably should add more info to the wiki

Their agency is doing a great job with the creative decisions and investing properly in good songs and concepts. It should help them stand out among new idol groups who are often similar to each other.
