Just have to remember the 'GER' is the 'j' g sound and not the 'ga' g sound. I sense that ANGERME may get annoyed at how that will get mispronounced by anyone who knows English. On the other hand my brain is already rearranging how I auto-pronounce that spelling and it bothers me less. It really sounds nice.

i really wish it was Angelarme. Cos that sounds 10x cooler. ANGERME is very anime tho.

looking at the calendar its really nothing but an awkward name

...Now imagine having a CD/postcard that says "ANGERME"... LOL
Strange name indeed with a good meaning behind it... but still.... weird... o.o
They go from MILES OF HAPPINESS to CRYING F'n ANGLES.

Also, there is no wacky symbol in the name. :C

I'm a native French speaker and I don't get this name.

They should have held an actual poll for this, not just take applications. It feels so out of place with MM, °C-ute, J=J...

They'll probably get annoyed at mispronunciations, but the name is asking for it... Anger me with your mistakes.

A perfect name if they want to anger me.

I almost wish they had went with "GERME" only. It means "sprout" so it would have been appropriate for a new idol group. All I can see is ANGER ME right now.

Angerme/S/mileage, the group that everyone will never accept when changes are made... I wonder if everyone'll get used to it rather quickly or we'll get complaints for a long time like with 1st Gen halfing and adding 2nd Gen had. Since I've completely gotten over it myself now, I'm very curious about fan reactions and the difference between Foreign and Japanese fans when it comes to that.
Also, I love that logo.
