first, i want to mention that Japanese isn& #39;t my native language, but i am intermediate level & still studying! i& #39;ve given a lot of thought to these messages, and i& #39;ve actually said them to idols before (and have been noticed!), so imo these are great little messages to send :)
i also want to say a note about google translate/papago since i& #39;ve noticed there are issues with them. google translate will often include the subjects in sentences, which can be unnecessary because they& #39;re usually inferred by the context. +
second, when you write "you" in your english sentences, digital translators almost always translate that into 「あなた」。 using that is a big no-no!! 「あなた」(anata) is usually reserved for people who are close (family, friends, s/o& #39;s), so using it with idols, +
who are essentially strangers, can be seen as rude. this idea also applies to another way of saying "you" in Japanese: 君/きみ/kimi. if you have to use a translator, i& #39;d suggest having a japanese-speaking friend take a quick look to check the translation if they can!!
keeping the idea of respect in mind, Japanese also makes use of honorifics at the end of people& #39;s names: ～さん (-san), ～ちゃん (-chan), ～くん (-kun), etc.. Usually ～さん is reserved for strangers, but i& #39;ve noticed ～くん is more commonly used even by fans for male idols.
along with that honorific, i would suggest using their last names. it& #39;s a bit more respectful, and i& #39;ve seen that j-jams more often than not use the member& #39;s last names when addressing them. so, when you copy and paste their names into the messages in the thread, copy these:

also the ♡ are bullet points, not part of the sentences! i will be putting periods ( 。) after every sentence, but of course you can change that to exclamation points too! generally adding a few exclamation points or emojis will make your comments more natural sounding too~
