It’s a fresh day for NECOPLA pixx. as they’ve just introduced a brand-new member to the lineup—meet Tsukino Ruru, the 18-year-old taking on the colour green!
The announcement dropped earlier today with a snazzy new profile photo and a simple, joyful message: “I’m super happy to join and I’ll do my best to entertain everyone!”
Ruru’s new to the idol world, but she’s already bringing some personality to the table.
Her hobby?
Going around looking for the best roasted sweet potatoes. And as for her special skill—she can do voice impressions of Npocham, a well-known mascot character.
Fans were quick to welcome her with warm messages and green hearts. It’s not every day a fresh face joins a group with such a unique history.
NECOPLA pixx., in case you need a refresher, has been around since 24 December 2016.
They kicked off as a sister group to KissBee under the name NECO PLASTIC and have gone through several “phases” and name changes over the years.
Here’s a quick timeline of their evolution:
-
NECO PLASTIC (1st Phase) – Dec 2016 to Oct 2017
-
NECOPLA (2nd Phase) – Oct 2017 to Apr 2019
-
NECOPLA∞ (3rd Phase) – Apr 2019 to Oct 2019
-
//NECOPLA// (4th Phase) – Oct 2019 to Nov 2021
-
NECOPLA mom. (5th Phase) – Nov 2021 to Mar 2022
-
NECOPLA pixx. (6th Phase) – Mar 2022 to now
The group is currently under FreeK-Laboratory, where they've built a steady fanbase with a mix of quirky charm, heartfelt performances, and colourful member personalities.
With Ruru’s debut, NECOPLA pixx. now continues its sixth phase with a fresh bit of energy and a bright green vibe.
Could this be the start of a whole new era for the group? Time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—Ruru’s ready to roll.
