Ex SKE48 Mizuno Airi Joins Yakousei Amuse as Minamo Shuru

Surprise move! — Mizuno Airi, ex-SKE48 sweetheart, is back on stage under a brand new name: Minamo Shuru!

Yep, the former Team KII and Prima Stella member is stepping into a fresh chapter as part of chika idol group Yakousei Amuse (夜光性アミューズ), now officially a six-member group.

Shuru (still sounds cute, doesn’t it?) was part of the Draft 2nd Generation and made her debut back in May 2015 with SKE48. 

She said her goodbyes in September 2024, leaving behind a pretty emotional legacy.

But not for long—just seven months later, she’s back! As of April 12, 2025, she’s now rocking the pink member colour in Yakousei Amuse. 

Her theme? A blooming romantic Ferris Wheel

And yes, her catchphrase is cheeky:
"Shuru ni koi shuru~?" (Will you fall in love with Shuru?)

The group itself, Yakousei Amuse, was formed in March 2021, and first hit the stage a month later at Zepp Haneda.

They’ve got that mysterious, night-time sparkle energy — true to their name — and now with Shuru on board, things are about to get even more exciting.

If you’re just catching up, here’s who’s in the group now:

Mipotapota (Light Blue) – one of the OGs
Hakuu Coai (White) – also in GILTY×GILTY
Futeko (Purple) – founding firecracker
Nukutani Rina (Red) – another day-one girl
Hiiragi Kiki (Green) – joined in 2022, graduating soon (April 16, 2025)
— And now, the sparkly new addition – Minamo Shuru (Pink)

Yakousei Amuse is part of the larger HEROINES collective, a network of standout idol units all bringing their own flair.

This latest move? Feels like a perfect match. 

Shuru's got the idol experience, the fanbase, and now a fresh new colour and vibe to shine with.

No official word yet on her stage debut with the group, but judging by how things usually go in idol land — it won’t be long.

One thing's for sure: pink just got a whole lot more powerful.
