As of yesterday (May 30th), Tamura Meimi has graduated from Angerme and Hello Project at Angerme's Tour final in Budokan. Meimei is a really precious girl with a lot of talent and personality, and I like her a lot. So of course I'm doing a graduation post about her.
So let's look at her in S/mileage and Angerme's music videos:

In 2011 12 year old Tamura Meimi auditioned for of S/mileage, became a sub-member and later a full 2nd generation member of the group. Since then she has been active as a Smileage and afterwards as an Angerme member. Since the beginning she was pushed to the front a lot, even though she was the youngest of the group at that time. At first I thought she was just a little bit childish, since she had a chipmunk voice and together with her vampire teeth, I thought she was a bit weird. But as she grew up, I figured out that she is REALLY talented. Her voice got really, really good, her dancing is on point and her acting is amazing. Seeing her growing up so much was one of the reasons I started following S/mileage a bit more. And then I watched Lilium and was once again amazed by her professionalism. I would say she is one of the best singers in H!P, and she is only 17!!!
At first MeiMei didn't seem to be very happy with the name change and the new mmebers as Angerme. But later on she started to really love the group and I appreciate her kindness towards her kouhais. She also seems like a pretty strict teacher, but she's just such a precious human being.
I also love how she's such a big fan of Showa Idols, because I myself also quite like them!
As for her future, I really hope to see a lot more from her. I really hope her wish to be a professional singer/ musical artist will become true and I wish her the best of luck.
