The group as with other Idol Groups has seen a lot of members come and go. They are: Shishikura Kanae (宍倉佳奈江), Ishikawa Akiko (石川晶子), Suzuki Emiri (鈴木瑛海里), Ishii Maia (石井舞亜), Mikata Yuuka (三方優加), Kameda Mayu (亀田まゆ), Sakamoto Rara (坂本らら), Yoshizawa Reina (吉澤玲菜), Gunji Erisa (郡司英里沙), Yamaguchi Saya (山口紗弥), Kurita Mari (栗田麻理), Niiya Mayu (新谷真由), Yamada Minami (山田南実).
Musical Style: They mix the Electronic & Rock elements amazingly well. Heck, I call their core Rock Songs as Pimm's Rock (most notably songs like Be All Right, Cry Baby and Dreamer, Yes & Hello). These songs reminded me of Babymetal but without the Heavy Metal, just Rock! They win out big here with this approach.
It's noisy yet groovy as the music is well composed and arranged. Studio Singing of the group members is excellent, mixing in cute, assertive and rapping into their songs.
Overall excellent Idol group! Very Very Impressed! And yes, the singing variations are noticeable - from the cute and cuddly voice of Kobayashi Chie to the Boyish Rap by Yamaguchi Saya.

What do members think of their best songs from URBAN WARFARE!
A rough Translation from an Interview:
"SUNDAY MORNING"
Kobayashi Chie: Pimm's is an emo song, and it's mainly a song that pushes the back of your feelings when your heart is tough. "SUNDAY MORNING" is a love song that is a little unusual for Pimm's. She sings a very pure and refreshing love. It's a very nice song that sings that you can see the glitter around you by shining your feelings by going to see him who you love in a beautifully dressed appearance such as make-up on Sunday.
Pimm's has never sung such a song before, so I sing it live with a very fresh feeling. There are many memorable lyrics such as "Riding a red bicycle" and "Put tears in your bag", so I think it's easy to reach your chest even if you listen to them. Just as the feeling of going to meet a loved one is also the feeling of going to meet everyone I love, I hope that it can be a sympathetic relationship.
In the case of Pimm's, there are many songs that you can jump while imitating together. "SUNDAY MORNING" is centered around the performance to show. If you show the figure shaken off with rust, the expression from the fingertips to the facial expressions is finely aligned as a whole, so please pay attention to the details.
"YES"
Mayu Takahashi: The second song "YES" is the title song of the album "URBAN WARFARE". Singing live can be a lot of fun. I can't make a voice yet, but I think that there is a part where you can scream with "HEY!" In the chorus, and the catchy lyrics that remain in your ears are really suitable for the present era. Now, even if I have a lot of things I want to do, I can't do it because of Korona-ka, and I feel painful feelings in my daily life. However, there are things that can be done in such a world, and I hope Pimm's can also push your back through "YES", like the content that pushes your back to "live now".
Pimm's has a lot of songs that make you feel positive. "YES" can also make you feel very positive by singing.
Kobayashi Chie: The lyrics say, "Now, let's change the direction of the wind in a mysterious vortex." "YES" also shows a very positive intention that "in a world where it is difficult to proceed, including the current idol industry. Even in such a whirlpool, we will change the direction of the wind and proceed", and I like that. What is it?
"HELLO"
Sena Oyama: "HELLO" was a song that Akane Mari-chan released when she joined the group, and I took it later. "HELLO" is a very cool song, with everyone raising their hands and yelling "Ooooo". It's a very rock song, and it's like an idol but not an idol, like headbanging during a live performance. It's a cool song that can be expressed only by Pimm's, which is different from ordinary idols. Even myself, when I sing, I get really excited. "HELLO" is a song that made everyone feel positive like that.
Kobayashi Chie: "HELLO" is a very positive song. Actually, the timing when Akane Mari joined was the time when the members who had been the main axis of Pimm's until then graduated and replaced. I remember being pushed back by the lyrics, "I should be able to prove OK, the future will change."
Every time a member graduates, the activity tends to get stuck. The fact that Akane Mari joined us at that time and sang "HELLO" with a new strong consciousness that "I will definitely move forward" was also a big driving force for Pimm's at that time. Because it was.
Amiri Hayashi: At that time (just joined), I was supposed to sing many of the parts that were said to be the main part, so I was desperate to learn singing and dancing anyway, and it was very objective for the group. I didn't catch that. Even so, I felt a little unsure in my heart, "Is it okay for me to sing here?" However, the number of new members has increased, the current system has settled down, and my own feelings have begun to grow. Now, if I am confident in singing the part I received, I am proud of it. I have come to express myself.
"BE ALL RIGHT"
Nagisa Hayakawa: "BE ALL RIGHT" is a song that pushes your back with "OK !!" as the title suggests. Every time I sing "BE ALL RIGHT", it makes me think "It's okay, let's move forward !!", even if there are various things that have been hurt in the past. During the live, it's not a circle, but there are scenes where everyone puts their hands together and raises them up. When I raise my hand over there, I can feel the response that everyone's feelings are united, so I love it.
While singing, I take it as "BE ALL RIGHT" that gives me a lot of power and energy so that every time I look at each other, I think "Let's do our best !!" and "It's okay !!" ..
"CRY BABY AND DREAMER"
Yuna Kawasaki: This song was released for the first time with current 6 members. It was refreshing that Sena, who had just joined as a new member, suddenly started singing "Yes, now one-man show".
"CRY BABY AND DREAMER" is a song that is suitable for the beginning of Pimm's right now, with the thought that "a new story starts from here" in the song. It's nice to bring that song to the end of the main story, isn't it?
Kobayashi Chie: At that time, just as Pimm's restarted in earnest with "CRY BABY AND DREAMER", by bringing it to the end of the album, Pimm's will restart from here and declare again that we will create a new story. It's also shaped.
"Kimi to Boku"
Mayu Takahashi: "Kimi to boku", as the title suggests, sings the thought "I'm glad I met you (fan)". It's no exaggeration to say that this song is a representative song of Pimm's, which is so exciting live that all the fans say "I love you !!".
The lyrics of "Kimi to boku" are really good. All the members are the type who work hard for me, and all the people who grab the important things and keep running in front, so the feeling that "the important things disappear while he is lazy" written in the lyrics is also I'm singing while thinking that I can understand it very much. I like this part as well, as it has the feeling of running forward while working hard with not only the members but also the fans. It is also worth hearing that "Kimi to boku" is packed with various emotions of the members, such as feelings of gratitude and feelings of hard work.
Kobayashi Chie: The choreography is also catchy, and everyone dances while doing peace signs. I can't make a voice now, but before the Korona-ka, everyone raised their voices and jumped. That's why I want to enjoy "Kimi to boku" in the same environment as before, like a song that everyone screams and jumps at the moment the intro is played.
