In a statement, Chanmina shared that she will be producing No No Girls with BMSG. "I will put my heart and soul into it and do the best I can, or even more than I can," she says. "I have been told 'no' in many situations in my life. But even so, I have sung and danced to the voice of my soul. I will leave it up to those who have had experiences like mine, or those who continue to say "no" to themselves, how they accept this 'no', but I am sure there have been many different perspectives and dramas you have seen and experienced. I would like to hear the voice of people like you. Let's overturn the 'no's  together!"

SKY-HI, CEO of BMSG, revealed that he'd been thinking about a collaboration with Chanmina since THE FIRST, the audition show for BMSG's first boy group. "While advocating for 'not killing talent,' I have always felt strongly, and frustrated, that there are people whom I am not able to turn my attention to because of the gender gap and that the future of Japanese entertainment is definitely packed in there," SKY-HI shares in a statement.

BMSG will also be establishing a new production company to handle the management and administration of No No Girls.
