[2/4] ANGERME (アンジュルム) 1st single : Taiki Bansei / Otome no Gyakushu

[Bossy Zunu]

It's quite dismissive to keep saying "get over it"

To that extent I agree. But as I said earlier, this has spilled over to multiple threads and I doubt we're ever going to reach true agreement. Nor do we need to. People are obviously free to feel the way they wish. But if anyone really wants to keep debating this issue past today (Dec 24), then please start a thread in the Karaoke Bar.

The official name is "Angerme" so just use that.

Not really. It's graphically styled as ANGERME, but the official name is アンジュルム. Look at the menu on their own webpage. All the H!P artists are listed in their true official names:

モーニング娘。’14
Berryz工房
℃-ute
アンジュルム
Juice=Juice
光井愛佳
ハロプロ研修生

EDIT: Fixed typo. Thanks, torches now!

10X better!! yesss

I guess someone got word .

Honestly they probably just didn't know. Eh, it happens.

ANYWAY... I'm kind of hoping for a cute EDM song and a rock song. Part of me wants ANGERME to be a cutesy idol unit, but at the same time, these girls doing rock/hard stuff? Hella.

Hey I just want to share this because I think it's helpful for anyone without a background in French trying to pronounce the name. Actually I realized because I'm so used to Japanese I keep pronouncing me as meh, and then English speakers are inclined to pronounce me as the word "me". But now after hearing the French I realize how far off I've been.

The larme is more like "larm" without an e
So then Angerme should be more like Angerm
Hence the Anjurumu

Them switching the logo to the katakana version is understandable but man I hope they design the Japanese up soon, I did so like the Romaji's font.

^And yeah gotta watch out for those silent letters. My last name is French and not one of my teachers growing up could pronounce it correctly due to the silent letters.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

my name is "Itai" and oh boy you don't even know the different ways people pronounce it.
"itty", "itaya", "ee-tai" "it-ei"... So I know that feeling. xD

As for the new logo, that's really good. xD Just, like forgetmenots said, if htey work up the font like they did for hte enlgish.... it would be great. xD

Yes, please I'd love them going on the harder side

[resop2]

I wonder if anjurumu can really tackle metal? Maybe what they could do is divide the vocal duties so that Takechan, MeiMei, and Kanana could sing "with the handcuffs off" when the song needs vocals that are forceful, and the rest could divide up idol like singing, talking and rapping?
