Title Mitei is a four-member idol group based out of Sapporo, Hokkaido, the most northern part of Japan that got their start in April of 2020. The current lineup for Title Mitei are Yuka Toskashi, Hana Abe, Noa Tani and Sora Kawamoto. Meaning ‘Title Undecided’, the name was chosen to define the expression of being undefined, lacking, and incomplete. It reflects the struggle of being around 20 years old and feeling anxious about the future and about who we must become. The group's name was chosen to express the hope that we can become anything we want to be. They also stick to the mantra of ‘not to try be someone else’, and to cherish the present moment of being no one.  The girls stick to that to a T as they aren’t falling into the usual trappings that idol groups do now with hyper energic beats, and most heavily relying on their strong vocals to carry them.  

One of the things that I find interesting is that the group had also debuted during the pandemic and had relied on SNS to carry them in their infancy as a group. A lot of what makes this group stand out to me is songs like “Kodou”, “Itsuka” and “Hana” where the girls get to show off their vocal range with various speeds in tempo that are used in their composition. It really shows that while just being an idol group, they will make their own way in the business without falling to what is popular or outside the range for the girls themselves.  

Currently, Title Mitei has 10 singles with their latest (as of this writing) being “Hana”, and one album titled Seisyungunzou that released back in 2021. Be sure to check out their official website, Twitter, and Instagram, along with the music video for “Hana” below!
