The Japanese idol girl group my fav has announced its disbandment, bringing an end to its tumultuous journey marked by multiple rebranding attempts. The decision comes after extensive discussions among the group’s members and management, allowing the artists to pursue their individual career goals.
Originally debuting as Last Idol in 2017, the group faced significant challenges, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2022, they announced the cessation of their activities, a move that left fans disappointed.
In March 2023, hope returned as the group revealed a revival under a new name, SHINSEI LAST IDOL, featuring a refreshed lineup and a new producer. This new beginning saw the group restart its activities in September 2023. They underwent another name change in June 2024, rebranding once again as my fav.
Despite the initial excitement surrounding these changes, the group has struggled with lineup fluctuations and fan expectations. On January 6, 2026, the management confirmed the disbandment through an official social media post, stating that the decision would allow the members to focus on their individual aspirations.
The announcement has elicited mixed reactions from long-time supporters. Some fans expressed disappointment over the discontinuation of the group, hoping for stability after the various transformations. Others, however, have shown understanding and support for the members’ decision to move on.
my fav is set to disband in March 2026, concluding their final group activities. The journey of my fav reflects not only the challenges faced by idol groups in Japan but also the impact of external factors like the pandemic on the entertainment industry. With their departure, the members will now have the opportunity to explore new avenues in their careers.
