[14] [15] The group's album, Talk About Bverything, appeared in the Top 10 of the Oricon Albums Chart for three weeks. [16]

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, she reportedly spent some spare time at home working out and making apple and strawberry candy at home to record herself making chewing sounds.
