Mimi had learned many tricks to threaten... er, "convince" her friends into seeing things her way.

For instance, Takeru was controlled by alleged Hikari-based mutterings made when sleeping one night at Yamato's place. Yamato and Daisuke were both pacified by Mimi voicing a desire to know Jun better. Sora was warned about reds being thrown in with her whites. Tai was simply reminded "I'll do it again..."

As for Koushiro, the blackmail... er, trick to convince him to agree with her was simple and also cruel.
