>>84412010>their trip was planned many years agoIt wasn't. In the post-release zatsu Pomu explained that the idea came to her some time after the VtL cover when thinking of how to outdo it (even though earlier in the stream she also says she didn't want to think of it like that) and she remembered Yorimoi.
What's more, the original idea was for her to go alone. Only later did she think of inviting both of the other members, and it's just unfortunate occurrence that Finana could not join them, so any idea of this having been planned for ages is absolutely bonkers. And I didn't even need to mention that she originally planned to go way earlier than she did - around Feb/Mar - since the cover was intended to be for LazuLight's 2nd anniversary but things didn't pan out.
>(not all that) sudden surpiseAfter the event Mint stated on stream that when Doki announced "surprise guests" she hadn't contacted her yet, and that her appearance on WrestleTuber was a very last-minute thing. And just to drive the point home, she even addressed the people in chat going "yeah we knew you'd be there it wasn't a surprise lol" by saying "well then you knew more than me!"
Are you SURE you watch Mint and/or Pomu? You wouldn't just let the catalog shape your ideas about your "kamioshi," now would you?
