Look familiar?

While watching the OnePixcel @JAM PARTY vol.11 performance, I noticed all three girls ran out of wind before the end of their 25 minute set. Nanami was especially strained; but it stands to reason since she seems to have inherited a large part of what were Raia's lines.
&&&&&&&&&&
Speaking of Raia:
While she was a student in 2014 at EXILE PROFESSIONAL GYM, Raia was part of a dance video for the E-Girls song Odoru Ponpokorin.
E-girls「おどるポンポコリン」"ピーヒャラダンス"レクチャーに参加！
More recently she has been hanging out with 小島明由美 (Kojima Ayumi) who at one time was a Harajuku Girl like all the girls from Fairies were.
Ayumi has posted some nice pictures of Raia on her twitter...

...and Raia was recently given the responsibility of caring for a motorbike...
...though she say's she's still not comfortable riding, especially when stopping/starting on a slope.

This is a review of OnePixcel's debut live back in 2015 and you may notice that they misspelled their name. You may also notice that musicgirls.net was maintained by DSK (DanStreet... where Den came from).

Spoiler
Though I didn't start paying any attention to OnePixcel until very recently and Raia hasn't been part of the group in a long while; I think they are less without her.
Each of the current girls has a particular strength that they bring to the group:
~Namami has the strongest and most consistent vocals.
~Ami likes to talk and she does outstanding as MC. She also seems to be the only one that posts daily to social media and is single handedly carrying the OnePixcel LINE BLOG.
In her post of 04/21 she reaffirms that she is 148 cm tall and laughs at those who claim she is only 145 cm. She also expects that she will grow another 5 cm before her high school graduaton! 笑
~Den is an amazing dancer and watching her dance during Analoganize makes my legs hurt!
~Raia seemed to be an uncontrolled Fury that gave OnePixcel an edginess that they have since lost.

Here are some images from an interview about the new single:

~Ami~
My favorite song is FREEDOM and this first picture I instantly recognize as part of that song's choreography because I love the way she moves in this dance.
Spoiler
~Den~
These are from the the Netflix オリジナルドラマ『野武士のグルメ』 (Original Drama Samurai Gourmet) Episode 12 that Den has a small part in.

Den worked with Roni Girls for a couple of years...
Thank you sooooo much for this big and detailed post. It's especially nice to know Raia didn't completely disappear from the public face of the earth and is seemingly doing well. Too bad it seems like she didn't create a new public Twitter.
Not that I'm complaining though...I quite like it 
I guess the song is good but a little too slow for this kind of genre...at least for my taste. It could work for me if it was faster but like this it seems very boring to me, like most of what you'd hear on the radio.
