Immediately after her promotion, it was announced that she would become a member of PARADISES. She then briefly joined GO TO THE BEDS in late 2021 as part of an all-member trade, before eventually rejoining GANG PARADE in 2022 when the two split groups merged back.

Biography

Kila May was revealed as a new member of WAgg alongside Ainastar on February 8th, 2020, after auditioning for the unit in late 2019. Her debut oneman live with WAgg took place on February 11th.

From March 22nd to 28th, Kila May participated in the WACK AUDiTiON CAMP 2020. On its final day, Kila May was announced as the audition's sole winner, and placed into GANG PARADE. Immediately after her promotion was announced, however, a second announcement stating that GANG PARADE was to split into two groups followed, and she was then placed in the spin-off group PARADISES.

Kila May's debut live as a member of both GANG PARADE and PARADISES was supposed to take place on her birthday, May 23rd. However, due to Japan's state of emergency in preventing Covid-19, this event was cancelled. Instead, Kila May was officially unveiled as a member of PARADISES the day before, during Kamiya Saki's graduation livestream. The following day, Kila May announced that she had left WAgg in a Zoom call, as the coronavirus has prevented her from having an actual graduation ceremony.

Kila May's first release as a member of PARADISES was their self-titled debut album, released on July 22nd.

2021

In mid-June, Kila May, along with every other active WACK member at the time, joined the shuffle unit, Dogenzaka43. Her only single as part of the group, Kyouniku Jakushoku ~Tsuyoi Yatsura wo Kucchimae~, was released on June 16th.

During WACK presents DREAMLIGHTS in TIF on October 2nd, Watanabe Junnosuke announced that all members of PARADISES and GO TO THE BEDS would switch members. As such, Kila, along with all her groupmates, immediately went on hiatus from PARADISES and joined GO TO THE BEDS instead. As part of GO TO THE BEDS, Kila featured on the joint EP, G⇔P.

2022

On January 1st, GANG PARADE announced their reformation, and Kila May rejoined. As GO TO THE BEDS and PARADISES were now merged back into one singular unit, knowledge on her future with either unit was uncertain, though it appears that both groups are now inactive.

Kila May's debut single with GANG PARADE, PARADE GOES ON, was released on March 9th.

On May 10th, GANG PARADE announced that Kila had contracted coronavirus, and as such, she was required to take a break from activities until the 19th.

Trivia

  • Japan has laws forbidding minors from working past a certain time, but during the 2020 AUDiTiON CAMP, Kila May was out with the senior WACK members while all the underage contestants were off camera, implying she could be at least 20 years old. This is despite WAgg originally only being open to girls aged under 17.
  • Is the first member of PARADISES who wasn't previously a member of GANG PARADE (although she was initially announced as a member mere seconds before they split).
  • At one month and twenty days, Kila May has the shortest period between joining WAgg and being promoted so far.
  • Shares her birthday with A Anzupia.
  • Was the first member of WAgg to leave without a graduation concert, and the only trainee to be promoted without receiving one.
  • During the 2020 AUDiTiON CAMP, Yui Ga Dockson told the camera that if people want to imagine Kila May naked, they should think about her head on top of Unit 001 from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
  • While her name would typically be written in English as "Kira Mei", several alternative spellings have been used with "Kila May" being the most common followed by "Kira May".
