Me:I (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese girl group formed through the reality competition show Produce 101 Japan The Girls. The group was originally formed with eleven members, and seven remained after four left at the end of 2025. Me:I debuted in April 2024 with the single Mirai, which topped the Oricon Singles Chart. The group is managed by Lapone Girls, a subsidiary of Lapone Entertainment.
Name and formation
The group's name means an idol loved by everyone and moving forward together toward the future. When spoken, it sounds like the Japanese word mirai, meaning future. The name was revealed in the final episode of Produce 101 Japan The Girls, which aired from October to December 2023 mainly on the streaming service Lemino. The final trainees were chosen by viewers through online voting from 101 contestants who had auditioned from a pool of 14,000 applicants. Like earlier Produce 101 Japan groups, Me:I was intended to be a permanent group.
Debut and membership changes
Me:I held its first performance as a group in March 2024 and its first fan concert in April 2024. The group officially debuted with Mirai on April 17, 2024, and released the single Hi-Five later that year, whose title track topped the Japan Hot 100. Several members had earlier experience in the entertainment industry, including former activity in Hello! Project and South Korean girl groups. On December 22, 2025, four members announced that they would leave the group, effective December 31, 2025.
