Events[]

2022[]

Fans[]

  • Their fans are called "Mitsu gi-Tai" (蜜ぎ隊).

Relationships[]

Trivia[]

  • Melissa revealed that they don't really have a specified gender at all, and that they identify as both female and male. Since Melissa gender is unspecified, it should be okay to use either female, male, or gender-neutral pronouns when referring to them.
  • They have also stated that there are days where they feel more masculine of feminine.
  • Melissa uses both "boku" (僕) and "watashi" (私) first-person pronouns when referring to themselves.
  • Before joining NIJISANJI, Melissa worked as a wage-slave and was always too busy to pursue their true passion for singing and writing music. Upon realizing their dissatisfaction with work and their desire to leave a mark on the world, Melissa decided to become a virtual YouTuber to commit themselves to creative work and experiencing new things. Melissa's ultimate goal is to perform on a live show.[9]

Notes[]

  • "Watashi" and "boku" both mean "I" but are distinct in their usage. "Watashi" is polite and technically gender-neutral, but is generally considered feminine in informal contexts. "Boku" is generally masculine, so it is most often used by boys, young men, and sometimes tomboy girls.
