ANGERME's new single is a triple A-side including a cover of Stardust☆Revue
New members Kawana Rin, Tamenaga Shion and Matsumoto Wakana joined the group in November last year, Funaki graduated in December the same year, and now the group has 10 members. This is the first single for the three new members and it is a triple A-sided single that includes a cover of Stardust Revue's song "Hakkiri Shiyouze" arranged in a funk style, the sentimental medium tune "Oyogenai Mermaid," and the mature JAZZY sounding song "Aisare Route A or B?" which was written by Yamazaki Aoi.
The new single will be available in limited edition versions A-C, SP, and CD-only versions A-C. The limited edition SP includes the song "SHAKA SHAKA TO LOVE", a tie-up song with "Ora2" whose music video was released on YouTube in November last year and became a hot topic.
Takeuchi comment
This is the first single after new members joined the group, so I think we can show you a new ANGERME. We've made a cool and mature triple A-side single this time. We've also improved our dance skills more than ever, so I hope you'll look forward to seeing our performance.
Kamiko comment
This triple A-side single is a song that will give you a chance to enjoy the new group of ANGERME members that have joined us! "Hakkiri Shiyouze", a cover song by Stardust☆Revue, is a cool and fun song typical of ANGERME. And then there's the sad "Oyogenai Mermaid" and the stylish "Aisare Route A or B?" I hope you can enjoy a variety of ANGERME songs, from the ones that feel like ANGERME to the ones that feel like the new ANGERME!
Kasahara comment
The song "Hakkiri Shiyouze" was performed in all-black outfits with crisp and clear dances and formations. The song "Oyogenai Mermaid" is a sad love song, which is rare for ANGERME. The way we sang the song and their facial expressions together created a different and sad atmosphere.
The song "Aisare Route A or B?" is a mature song with jazz sound, and I personally tried to record it in a way I've never done before. I hope you will enjoy listening to the different types of songs! I hope that many people will pay attention to our first single after the addition of the three new members.
Tamenaga comment
This is the first single for me Kawana, and Matsumoto, so we're very excited to take our first step as ANGERME! We had a lot of difficulties in shooting the music video for the first time, but with the support of our seniors, we were able to create three songs that we can deliver to you with confidence! Please look forward to the new songs from our new 10-member ensemble!
