| Former LOVE♡MONSTER Members Reborn as LOVE PANIC! with Fresh Lineup |
So here’s the scoop: LOVE PANIC!, previously known as LOVE♡MONSTER, has just dropped their new debut lineup, and it’s definitely stirring up excitement.
The group, which officially formed just this month on April 15, 2025, is set to make their stage debut on May 6, 2025. But this time, the lineup’s looking a little different than what fans might have expected.
Here’s who’s in:
Nanako Nako (Green) – The main attraction. Nako, who’s pretty well-known in the idol scene, was a founding member of LOVE♡MONSTER and also has history with Mieux and munen (remember them?). After her stint with munen ended in disbandment, she’s back and ready to lead the new LOVE PANIC! era.
Usagino Komachi (Pink) – The one to watch out for. A new face in the idol world but with plenty of potential, Komachi’s bringing that fresh energy.
Yuuki Kuru (Yellow) – Another newbie but with a killer smile and a personality that’s bound to catch the public’s eye. She's in for a fun ride.
Amai Melody (Light Blue) – Melody’s the latest recruit, joining the group on April 21, 2025. With the nickname “Melo” (めろ), she’s known for her stunning hair and a charm that could melt anyone’s heart. Talk about making a first impression!
Saijo Airi (Red) – Rounding off the group, Airi is bringing the fiery energy with her red colour. She’s going to be the one lighting up the stage.
The big question on everyone’s mind: why the name change from LOVE♡MONSTER to LOVE PANIC!?
Well, after a bit of a shake-up, including the announcement in February 2025 that the group was transitioning and going in a new direction, this rebranding feels like a fresh start for the remaining members.
Only Nako from the original LOVE♡MONSTER line-up is carrying over to this new chapter. They’ve reworked the concept, brought in new members, and are ready to go full steam ahead.
If you’ve been following the idol scene, you’ll know this group has had a bit of a rollercoaster ride.
LOVE♡MONSTER debuted in August 2024, but after some changes and the planned exit of several members in February 2025, it was clear they were gearing up for something new. With Nako at the helm and the fresh faces added, LOVE PANIC! is ready for their big moment.
