ME:I is a Japanese pop group that debuted in April 2024 with the single "Mirai." Formed through the competitive reality show Produce 101 Japan The Girls, the seven-member ensemble blends contemporary K-pop-influenced pop production with distinctly Japanese sensibilities. Managed by Lapone Entertainment's subsidiary Lapone Girls, ME:I represents the modern evolution of Japan's idol pop scene, incorporating electronic and dance-oriented production styles that appeal to both domestic and international audiences.
The group's output showcases polished electronic production and choreography-driven pop arrangements characteristic of the post-Produce 101 era. As a permanent group, ME:I continues to develop their sound through releases that emphasize synchronized performances and studio-crafted pop tracks, positioning themselves within the broader landscape of contemporary Japanese pop music that increasingly incorporates dance and electronic elements.
