≠ME

≠ME, pronounced as Not Equal Me, is a Japanese pop idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto, the same producer behind the iconic AKB48 and its sister groups. The group was formed in 2019 as part of the ≠Project, alongside the sister group =LOVE (Equal Love), and represents the new generation of J-pop idols with a focus on dynamic performances and a fresh image that appeals to a wide audience.

As a relatively new player in the idol scene, ≠ME has quickly captured the hearts of fans with their energetic songs, choreography, and engaging media presence. With a discography that includes catchy tracks like "アンチコンフィチュール" (Anti-Confiture) and "想わせぶりっこ" (Omowase Buri Ko), the group demonstrates its versatility ranging from upbeat tunes to more emotive ballads. Their performances are not only limited to music release events but also include special concert experiences like the "=LOVE ≠ME Special Concert 『24girls 2020』," showcasing the group's ability to put on a show that keeps fans coming back for more. The connection between ≠ME and their fans is further strengthened through events like "イコノイフェス" (Ico Noi Festival), where they display their unique brand of idol culture through live performances and intimate fan engagements. With each new release and performance, ≠ME continues to evolve and affirm their position in the competitive landscape of Japanese pop music.
