ME:I has become a Guppla Digital Supporter for Nippon Television’s campaign “Good For the Planet Week” (#Gupla). The viewer-participatory SNS project “#Gupla Happiness Baton” will start on May 13th.

In 2024, ME:I will newly participate as a “Gupra Digital Supporter” to enliven SNS projects. We will be enlivening this year’s Good For the Planet week with a focus on various digital projects.

Good For the Planet Week, commonly known as “#Gupra” (pronunciation: Guppura), proposes sustainable initiatives for the earth and the future = “Gupra”, and together with viewers, “For the earth, for the future”. A campaign to think about what you can do now to live a better life.

Information, variety, sports, and news programs that cover a wide range of themes such as conservation of the natural environment, climate change issues, health and welfare, education, poverty and hunger, and gender equality, centered on the 17 items of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). This is an “all Nippon TV” program such as “All Nippon TV”, where we think together with the viewers.

In 2024’s Good For the Planet, under the title “#Gupra Happiness Baton,” Official Recruitment.

If we pass on the “happiness baton” we receive from others to the next person, many “good things for people” will surely lead to “good things for the earth.” Let’s post such an episode with “#Gupra Happiness Baton”. Participants will also be entered into a lottery to win wonderful gifts.

■ME:I Comment
What are your impressions and enthusiasm for being selected as a Gupra Digital Supporter?
My name is ME:I and I have recently been appointed as a Gupra Digital Supporter!
I am truly grateful to be able to participate in such a wonderful initiative. We have just made our debut, but we want to become a wonderful group, so I hope we can work together with Gupra’s digital project to make it even more exciting.

What are some things that are good for the earth that you recommend these days?
TSUZUMI: I often take tea and other items from my dressing room home, but I always remove the labels and separate them before throwing them away. Now that I have been appointed, I would like everyone to do their best from this perspective.

COCORO: When we eat bento, each member has their own likes and dislikes, but we try to avoid having any leftovers by exchanging what we can’t eat. I believe that even small actions like this can help prevent food loss.

■Performer’s “#Gupla Happiness Baton” episode
AI: I inherited necklaces from my late Japanese grandmother and American grandmother. I feel like it has my grandmother’s power in it. I also wore it during live tours.

Rikako Yagi: At the coming-of-age ceremony, I was allowed to wear the furisode that my mother wore at the coming-of-age ceremony, and I used a hand-me-down bag that my grandmother had used. I hope to be able to pass them on to my own children someday.

MOMONA (ME:I): I received the denim skirt that my mother wore when she was 20 years old when she gave birth to me. Now I’m 20 years old and I’m an idol. Although my life is completely different, I can always remember my gratitude to my parents just by wearing those clothes. Everyone, please let us know by posting any Gupra stories you have received from someone using #GupraHappyBaton.
