Up Up Girls(仮) / UUG(2) / UUG(Pro Wres)

I guess Hoo-chan is the center this time around; she's the beginning and end of that MV. She just turned 15 btw (on 1/30).

Up Up Girls (2) "Semete Semete" MV. Hoo-chan gets a monologue.


----

Kaede Fuuka (楓フウカ) from Qumari Depart (クマリデパート) and Hoo-chan promote their group releases & Kaede covers UUG(2)'s "Tsuyogari Rairairai" as part of a release commemoration collab between the two groups.


In turn, Hoo-chan covers "Chikyu Love Radio" (ちきゅらぶレイディオ) by Qumari Depart.

I love "Semete Semete." Never thought I'd see the day that an Up Front group would have that J-indies math rock-like sound. Maachan kills it too.

[Moh]

Yeah, kinda reminds me of Frederic, Base Ball Bear, etc. I lowkey wish they'd stick with that sound after this.

Maachan with a really sweet cover of Nana Mori's Smile:

You’re killing me with these sad numbers, Amped.

Up Up Girls (K) have a new costume set and logo, following their first solo live show with the new lineup on 2/28.

Edit: I watched the 2/28 live. I didn't like most of the setlist, but they're already a little better than they were at their first event performance. Of course Sekine absolutely still stands out as obviously being much more experienced. Yurika (the blue one) weirdly sounds kind of like Saho Akari sometimes? Really threw my brain once when I wasn't looking at the screen.

UUG(2)'s Yuria has graduated from high school.
