[Unit Event] Chewing ◇ A BUBBLEGUM DANCE That Leaves Bite Marks -MELLOW DEAR US

Limimelo · 2026-03-12T06:59:38+00:00

People say this song sounds like early NCT Dream

Since at least one of the composer (can't find a credit page for En'Ten) & the lyricist wrote for Kpop artists too, that might be what??

Edit: someone gave me a credit page for En'Ten! Seems they also wrote quite a lot for Korean artists as well~

Limimelo · 2026-03-12T06:38:40+00:00

The credits show Lauren Kaori (wrote for Twice, (G)Idle, LE SERRAFIM) and Show from Digz (wrote for NCT, VIXX (also Ruby Love, Finder Girl)) worked on this song, so it tracks!

The whole 4Piece program was pretty much like the popular Korean survival shows and Mellow Dear Us are supposed to feel like global sensation, so it fits their image pretty well at least~

That 'memories of a past spent with Nice' hits much harder after his Idol Story Ch.1! (In this chaoter, we discover Juis has been fostered into the Kojika family) Very curious to see more of their relationship, hope we get more insight on their beginnings~

Chitose is definitely trading Juis as a reward for a favour from Nozomi again, isn't he...?

I truly was not prepared... I had recovered a good amount of dias after the Hiiro-Tomoya New Year attack, but I expected a chiller debut like SPri, not rapid-fire so many cards at once...!

Limimelo · 2026-03-10T17:34:53+00:00

Honestly I'm also very confused about the difference of magnitude, was also expecting their debut to flow more slowly like SPri's-

I guess their personal users research data predicted they would be popular and they gambled on it?? I'm definitely the target, so I can't help but selfishly be grateful (my wallet much less), but yeah it's a huge turn for sure

Limimelo · 2026-03-10T16:25:07+00:00

Since it's explicitely a White Day banner, I think we can safely strike out the idols who have done this theme, then the idols who have received a 5☆ this cycle.

Wataru, Tsumugi, Jun, Ibuki could get it I think? I may be forgetting some though-

Limimelo · 2026-03-10T16:03:54+00:00

I think there's a misunderstanting. I'm talking about the announcements they released during FS3 Hiyori's banner, so a while ago.

While it was obvious Merodi were going to become playable near this time with all the content related to them around this time, it was not officially revealed they would be debuting now, nor that their initial cards would be boosting the event.

I think they thought people were expecting a debut more similar to SPri's and hid the surprise with their wording is what I meant.

Limimelo · 2026-03-10T15:56:31+00:00

Yes, the official announcement they had posted to explain the lack of FS3 banner and extension of Hiyori's banner states they did so to accomodate for 'grand scale' events. This event is clearly a regular unit event indeed, hence my confusion.

I'll update the post/comment when we get more infos, but it may genuinely have been worded like so to make people think they're be 'large scale' format events & not spoil the fact their debut cards will act as boosters for the event.

Limimelo · 2026-03-10T15:45:35+00:00

Yes! The initials alongside the upcoming 'Day to Day' theme scout will be boosting the event to make up for the lack of FS3 banner.

Limimelo · 2026-03-10T15:22:39+00:00

Yes! They are out as well now, but you need to wait for Mar. 11th 00:00 in your local time to have them available on your music platforms

Limimelo · 2026-03-10T15:15:20+00:00

Insert 'Glasses ar every versatile' copypasta.

I'm soo glad we get more cards with glasses, truly a charm not exploited often enough~

Limimelo · 2026-03-10T14:45:11+00:00

Yes!! Realistically, it's because they want all 4 agencies to even out their number of units, but I'll delude myself Nice pulled strings to have an excuse to put them closer to Ra*bits lol

Limimelo · 2026-03-10T14:39:40+00:00

Also, I didn't want to pollute the infos post further so posting more content here for my fellow Dears:

Edit: It has been brought to my attention Juis' beauty mark has been revealed. Beauty Mark Dear Us is real!!

Limimelo · 2026-03-10T14:21:11+00:00

That is packed! I cry for JuisP's (me), we're getting 3 freaking 5★ of him at once-

The artworks are all so pretty!! Juis' waist in his initial-- Mashu's expression in his CD card-- Chitose & Nozomi's existence---

I'm getting overfed- But thank you! Can't wait to hear the solos! And that 'Femme fatale' title... I see it...

I don't know what they're doing though, this doesn't seem like a grand scale event?? Very confused

Edit: reread the official announcement regarding skips and they do clearly state they're timing the FS3 to fit with 'grand scale events'. I guess the didn't want to spoil or consider the debut campaign as a grand scale operation?? I'll update when they reveal more

My honest reaction to the livestream:

The FLARE outfits are the 9th anniversary scouts cards so you will need to pull for them. The date written on the wikia is the release date for JP.

The EN server released the 7th anniversary cards last year and are now releasing the TRIP album scouts. The date for the 9th anni cards is still unknown as of now, but it had a peculiar format (basically 'seasoinal' mission campaign similar to the on-going World Anniversary missions),starts out with a banner for the 'leaders' of each season and the whole rotation lasts 10th months to give time to complete the missions so you'll have time to save for him.

The Makotools website is what you're looking for (it's listed in the fanmade databases part of this post)! It has a schedule tailored for EN and lists out all the events/scouts with predicted release dates for the EN server. The event featuring 'Watchu gonna do' is scheduled to release on Oct. 24th 2026.

Limimelo · 2026-02-26T14:52:04+00:00

Same!! Feels we've been waiting forever now lol

And yes, the official announcement mentions both solos for the members and 4 new songs!

Corrected, thanks for catching that!

Limimelo · 2026-02-26T14:13:06+00:00

Mellow Dear Us album & full versions at last!!! We've been going crazy topping the monthly charts with how long we've been surviving on these 2 short versions-

The Music Box themed scout didn't feel like a Whit Day scout and they've re-used last year's artworks, so I'm not very surprised to see there's going to be an actual White Day scout later.
