Introduction
predia is a Japanese idol group that was created in 2010. It was a sister group of Passpo, palet and Petit⭐Passpo until all this girl groups disbanded. The group has currently seven members and is signed under Revolver Records. They made their major debut as a 10 member line-up in August 2014 with the single Kowareta ai no hate ni (壊れた愛の果てに). (That line-up was active from March 2014 to February 2019) They are an older, sexy themed idol group with an average age of a bit more than 30. Among the original members only Rumina Murakami, Keiko Sakaguchi, Akane Minato and Mai Mizuno are still in the current line-up. Sakurako and Maeda Yuu joined the group later and are current members as well. The whole group signed to a new label in March 2019 and released their first single called NAKED in June 2019 as a 6-member group. In November 2019 a second single "Shalala Niagara" was revealed. The original music video has been censored after many fans were complaining about it. A new version of it was put online few weeks after.

Favorite album
Their first album called Koko no Dahlia ni Kuchizuke wo (孤高のダリアにくちづけを) is a must have, that's why I wanted to share it here. It was released in February 2015 and it is their first major studio album. It consisted of 14 songs, Baby Kiss (b-side of their second major single), Kowareta ai no hate ni and Utsukushiki Kodoku Tachi were the only songs that were already released. In addition to those, eleven new tracks were included. My personal favorites are Tokyo Love Affair, Voyage, Na mo Naki Shiroi Hana wa Kie Iku, Yakou Chou, Aka no Agitato, Hitoku no Paradise, Rasen no Tsuki, Ai no Heroin and Maboroshi Ha Zanadu. Wedding Story and You're my Hero were included in that album too, but I won't say they are among my favorite songs of theirs.

How I have discovered predia and a list of my favorite songs
I have discovered predia in July 2015, the group song Utsukushiki Kodoku Tachi (美しき孤独たち) appeared in my youtube recommendations. That's how I fell in love with that group, way too underrated according to me though. Most of their songs are really enjoyable, however I have liked less some of their most recent songs (Curtain Call, Hotel Sunset, Naked and Shalala Niagara). I would make a list of my favorite songs below.
