Promo shot for the new single


details of each song

Hello! Project's 12-member idol group BEYOOOOONDS will be releasing their second single "Now Now Ningen / Gekikara LOVE / Konna Hazujanakatta!" (song order undecided).

On "Hello! Project presents...Premier seat BEYOOOOONDS premium", a live program broadcasted on the video distribution service Hikari TV and dTV channel, they performed the new song "Now Now Ningen" for the first time.

"Now Now Ningen" or "NNN" for short is a powerful message song about the new normal and the bright future that everyone is waiting for. The song is a dance tune that changes from a reggae style to an electro tune, and the highlight of the song is the "N dance" in the chorus and the performance of the human letters "人" and "間".

"Gekikara LOVE" is the second cover of Western music, following "Go Waist" from the debut single. The original song, "Dracula's Tango (Sucker For Your Love)" (1982) by Toto Coelo, an English female vocal group, is turned into a spicy love song with a touch of the recent hot sauce boom. Momohime's talk box is also worth watching.

"Konna Hazujanakatta!" is a self-deprecating (critisizing themselves in a light-hearted way) and affirming song about the struggles of the BEYOOOOONDS members, who have made their debut as idols through the activities and auditions of the Hello Pro Trainees, but for some reason, all they get to do are skits, quick dress changes, boot camps, and other crazy songs. The song is both self-deprecating and positive, with comical choreography by Japanese comedian and choreographer "Michael Tanuyama Kazumasa Koura aka 'Imoaraizaka Kakaricho".

In addition, "Vitamin ME," which was released in April as a collaboration project with Kagome Project and has received more than 2.36 million views on its YouTube channel, was made into a sound source.

The third song in the station name series by CHICA#TETSU, a unit consisting of Ichioka Reina, Shimakura Rika, Nishida Shiori, and Eguchi Saya, "Ninenmae no Yokohama Eki Nishiguchi" (Yokohama Station West Exit Two Years Ago) is a love song set in Yokohama Station (named by railway fans as "Japan's Sagrada Familia" after a Spanish cathedral, since both of them were constantly being under construction for decades). This is a "Setsuna song" full of 80's city pop feeling.

Takase Kurumi, Maeda Kokoro, Yamazaki Yuhane, Okamura Minami, and Kiyono Momohime's unit Ame-no-Mori Kawa Umi's new song "Yabai Koi no Yaiba" is a passionate and burning love song about falling in love with a spirited creator and a clear-headed IT man in GS style

The new song "Watashi to Odori nasai" by Hirai Miyo, Kobayashi Honoka, and Satoyoshi Utano is a mysterious tune featuring "nice," "future," and "air". The honky-tonk piano played by Kobayashi, an active music student, is also a highlight of the song.

This is an addictive song with a cast that is typical of BEYOOOOONDS, but sung in a cool and spicy way.

It's not all sweet in the world, but if you add a bit of spiciness, you'll be happy. It is a work that adds a stroke to the hearts of tired people!

This is a song that will cheer you up when you listen to it. (laughs), that song, that gag... Anyway, it's a song full of various stories that will cheer you up when you listen to it.

The song says, "It wasn't supposed to be like this," but I'm glad it's for BEYOOOOONDS! It's a song that makes you feel like you're in the right place at the right time. It's a song that fully expresses who we are now!

Wow.

And I get it's being billed as a "single" but three a-sides+Vitamin Me+three new unit songs= 7 songs?!

It's basically a mini album!

Damn!!

[Moh]

NICE. The song descriptions have my full attention.

I like the chorus for NNN but the verses aren't grabbing me. Maybe the MV will change my mind.

Here's the original version of Dracula's Tango:

[Sohee]

Exciting!!

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I wonder if they mean "honky tonk" as in similar to that style, or did they actually have her play a tack piano or something? Either way, southern side of me says yes ma'am.

And bonus for me, turns out I'm genuinely in love with that "Dracula's Tango" song they're covering.

Kiyono Momohime's short story about her talk box part in "Gekikara LOVE"

And the story I want to tell you today is "Gekikara LOVE"

Talk Box

I actually recorded this in the summer...
(It's strange that it feels so long ago...)

Do you remember SoloFest?

We had a recording session right around the same time as the Solo Fest, and we didn't have a talk box for the first sound.

The director and staff who were watching me at SoloFest said, "Why don't you do a talk box?"
They suggested it, and then I had a chat with Hoshibe-san.

So, it actually happened...!
Oh my god!
I was so surprised and happy to hear it!!!!

I wish I could tell you more about this story!
I'll talk about it again when it is released.

I've only talked about it briefly today, but this is what happened.

Talkbox - I'm so happy!

[Tobo_Junny135]

Only 30 seconds? Exactly How much could a fan or the Beyoooonds members can get out of a 30 seconds conversation?

[Sohee]

It's longer than you get when you go to a handshake event so that's a win for fans

[Nayoko-Kihara]

That's what I was thinking too; based on the way people have talked about it over the years, it seems handshakes are like 5 seconds long before you're being shuffled along by security.
