Overview
Solamilogo2

SoLaMi♡SMILE is an idol unit composed of Laala Manaka, Mirei Minami, and Sophie Hojo. They first formed their unit in Episode 12 for the Sparkling Grand Prix, but officially debuted as a unit in Episode 13. Their main objectives are becoming Divine Idols and to obtain the components of the Paradise Coord.

History

Laala, Mirei, and Sophie first become a unit by performing a unit ceremony in Episode 12. They perform Pretty Prism Paradise!!! at the Sparkling Grand Prix, emerging the winners, and soon after, affirm their goal of becoming god class idols together.

In Episode 13, the three begin training together, and are tasked by Kuma with coming up with a unit name. Sophie helps Laala to come up with an autograph, which she has been struggling with since Episode 3. The girls also meet a big fan of theirs - Hanana - whom Laala gives a Friends Ticket to.

Sophie asks Laala and Mirei to call her "Sophie" without the suffix "-san", and she and Mirei then come up with two ideas for the group's name. Laala thinks of combining them together into SoLaMi♡SMILE. During the girls' second performance and unit name debut, they showcase a brand new set of Cyalume Coords made by Sophie's older sister Cosmo.

In Episode 14, Kuma affirms a new goal for the girls - to obtain all the components of the Paradise Coord, the best Coord in all of PriPara. SoLaMi♡SMILE also gains a rival in Dressing Pafé, a new idol unit made up of Shion Todo, Dorothy West, and Leona West. In Episode 15, the girls accept a challenge from Dressing Pafé (caused by a rivalry between Mirei and Shion); which results in a tie.

In Episode 25, the group join with with Dressing Pafé to form the unit SoLaMi♡Dressing; and they perform Realize! for the first time. They emerge victors of the Christmas Idol Grand Prix, and win their first component of the Paradise Coord: the Paradise Shoes.

Unit Relationships

All three members of SoLaMi♡Smile generally get along with each other, as they balance each other out. At first, there were some disagreements due to Sophie's refusal to train; but now they rarely happen.

Etymology

The first part of their unit name - SoLaMi - was thought up by Sophie and is taken from the first syllables of the girls' names - Sophie, Laala, and Mirei. Mirei uses Sophie, Mirei, an I for "ai" (愛 lit. love), Laala, and an extra E at the end to come up with "SMILE". Laala thinks of combining the two into SoLaMi♡SMILE which collectively means "Look up at the sky and smile" (空見て笑って Soramite waratte).
