The Group Logo
Shining Royalty was a net-idol unit. It is managed by Anthony, who goes under the name "Prince Meringue." The mixing is usually done by Katana Niara of Crystal Rose, Maxine of SHEawase, or Emiko of SuGoI!Singers. Choreography is done by Juju of Flusay Girls or Prince Meringue.
The group was active as a five-piece net-idol unit. At the moment, they release cover singles as group, sub-units, and even as a soloist; Maya, Mechant, and Bonheur coming up with the solo idea. Plans for an original single have been discussed.
The group was formed in 2015. It is unknown when the group disbanded but as of 2020. They no longer seem to be active.
About[]
The leader and manager was once a part of an idol group called "Aidolize!," which was shut down due to many member conflicts. As such, Meringue did his best to try revive the idol group his sisters created on his own, but to no success.
Therefore asking Maxine of SHEawase for advice. Upon hearing of the Facebook group "Net-Idols", he did more research on net-idols, not having done much research. With more research and careful planning, the group was originally going to be called "Princess! Project." However, wanting to open the group to males as well, the name was put back on the drawing board. Thanks to Marin from Platinum Happy, the group was named "Shining Royalty."
Along with this, it was given a heavy fairy-tale and royalty theme. As for stage names, all of the members are given Princess or Prince names. These conjoin with their personalities to give them a unique feeling. The sub-units are all based on aspects of fairy tales: "Poison Apple" being based off of Snow White's poison apple, "Cursed Rose" from Beauty and the Beast, and "Golden Flower" from Rapunzel, specifically from Disney's musical-movie, "Tangled."
