In the summer of 2016, this completely unexpected unit was born:
'Shida Summer Arai Summer'
Made up of YumeMiru Adolescence's Shida Yumi and Tokyo Girls' Style Arai Hitomi.
In order to get closer to this promising unit, we pressed ahead with this urgent interview!

We ask about everything, from how the two of them first got familiar with one another, up to their new song!
The two of them mutually like one another
Their common point is ice cream?
-- Please tell us: how did things lead to the formation of Shida Summer Arai Summer?
Shida Summer: I've always liked and respected Hitto from the start!
-- Since when?
Shida Summer: Since quite a while back! I liked her so much that I set an alarm to remind me about the start of her SHOWROOM show 'Hitomibocchi'. Then I heard that apparently Hitto liked me as well. The two of us, it was mutual love!
Arai Summer: I was surprised too. You watched 'Hitomibocchi'!
Shida Summer: You know, you know, you mentioned about the scones that were being sold at Calie, didn't you?
Arai Summer: (with a happy look on her face) Yup! Yup!
Shida Summer: Those scones looked really appetising when you ate them on 'Hitomibocchi'. It piqued my interest, I wanted to eat them them, so I bought them and ate them when we had a YumeAdo SHOWROOM show!
Arai Summer: They were yummy, weren't they??
-- Umm... We'd like to hear about how you were formed though.
Shida Summer: Ah~! Tokyo Girls' Style were guests on YumeAdo's showdown project (29th March). When I sang the original song 'Anna ni Suki datta Summer' with Hitto, it was really well received. There were people who wanted us to make a unit, so we asked the grown-ups, and it turned into an official unit.
Arai Summer: After the concert ended, there were lots of reactions on Twitter saying that they wanted to watch us again, and I didn't want to let it end with just that once either. I'm glad that things turned out this way.
-- You were that happy?
Arai Summer: The top screen of my LINE is Shida Summer Arai Summer!
Shida Summer: I'm glad!
-- And Shida-san, what's the top screen of your LINE?
Shida Summer: It's ramen from 'Ramen Ei'! It's really delicious.
