💚✨ Meet Kanan! ✨🐬

Our Kanan is Summer (Summer Sherman)!🌟

Summer is new to Darling! for Darling! Idols Forever, but she’s a longtime friend of the group! She was originally cast in a Darling! project back in 2020 that was unfortunately canceled due to covid, so getting to finally have her join us for this performance made it extra special!💕

For Darling! Idols Forever, Summer took on a huge behind-the-scenes role by working on our performance audio and creating the transitions between songs alongside her bandmate, Nate! Together, they make up Max Cavallaro, an East Coast rock duo. They’ve got a new single, “SAVE ME,” coming December 5th! Be sure to check it out!!❄️

Summer was also the mastermind behind our bootcamp interviews, sitting down with some of our cast to capture the personalities, behind-the-scenes stories, and hilarious moments that made this project so special! Keep an eye out for the highly anticipated “The Darling! Idols Confessional” in our upcoming vlogs! Trust us, you won't want to miss it! 👀

🌟 3 Fun Facts About Summer! 🌟
- Summer is a natural blonde and dyes her hair red
- Summer’s arms are uneven! can you tell which one is longer?
- Summer is the smartest member of darling and is a member of mensa

Our Maki is Cherie (𐔌 . 💫 ⋮ cherie .ᐟ ֹ ₊ ꒱)!🌟

Cherie is new to Darling! and came all the way from Missouri to join us for this huge project! She was also the youngest member of our cast, and we loved having her bring so much energy and enthusiasm to our μ’s team!💕

Cherie is also the President of . ˀ ⋆ 👻┆ 𝐏𝐇𝟒𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐌!𝐙𝐄𝐑 ⋆˚࿔, a multimedia idol performance group, so she’s no stranger to being part of a creative team and bringing big ideas to life! Most recently, she had her first solo live, performing “Watash*tachi wa Mirai no Hana” as Umi Sonoda at a Japanese Fall Festival! We loved having Cherie as a part of Darling! and getting to see her passion for dance shine throughout any project she takes on! 🎹✨

🩵✨ Meet You! ✨⛵️

Our You is Whimsy (W H I M S Y)! 🌟

Whimsy has been a part of Darling! since our virtual Halloween Horror Night performance in 2020, has become such an important part of our cosidol community! Her love for idols shines through not only on stage but as the Pop Off! Event Coordinator where she oversees all three of the Pop Off! shows: Debut (for new idols) Rising (for Kaigai idols), and Live (an idol competition). So it was a no brainer to have her carry the big Pop Off! flag as we closed out the show!💕

Whimsy is also a member of 🎀 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲 𝐈𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐬 🎀 and Natsu⭐️Neko, where she’s been part of some incredible live performances and PV productions! She brings so much dedication and passion to everything she takes on, and her work ethic is truly unmatched. We’re so grateful for everything Whimsy does to support our community, fellow idols, and Darling! ⚓️✨

🌟 3 Fun Facts About Whimsy! 🌟
- I have two bedlington terriers! My friends call them skinwalkers
- I travel - a lot! I’m going back to Japan in two months (my fourth trip!) with Dee to see another Love Live concert since we loved the Aqours finale Eikyuu Stage so much.
- I’m really into Pokemon, I have been since Pokemon Red on the Gameboy. I’m currently doing a nuzlocke challenge with a randomizer. My favorite Pokemon is Abra- I even have a tattoo of him!

It means so much to us that Aether is still here dancing with us after all this time, nearly nine years later! Their passion for Umi is something truly special, and we honestly couldn’t imagine anyone else filling those shoes!🌊✨
