Up Up Girls (2) - See You Dake.

Their stuff is usually hit or miss for me, but I really like this song tbh.

Haha beat me to it.

In my defense I wasted a ton of time looking in vain for lyrics. Anyway, hard agree, it's a bop. If I'm reading correctly, the composer is someone called Natsu no Koe, who has a pretty nice album on Apple Music from early this last year.

Upga2 also put up for a limited time Maachan's graduation performance from their 2022 Spring Tour. She looks like an angel and performs a solo set.

Thank you for your continued support of Up Up Girls.
The members, Kudo Sumire and Suzuki Ayu, will graduate at the "Up Up Girl Way of Our Life ~Kudo Sumire & Ayu Suzuki Graduation SP~" live to be held on March 18th, 2023.

As we talked about the future with each member, they each expressed their intention to graduate.
Both Kudo and Suzuki were able to envision a new future for themselves, and we respected their wishes.

We apologize for the sudden announcement, and ask for your kind understanding and acceptance.
Until graduation, the eight of them will continue to move forward together, so please continue to support Up Up Girls, Kudo, and Suzuki.

Sumire was in a low budget movie last year so maybe she's going to move into acting.



Or maybe she sees gravure in her future.
Don't know about the other one, good luck to her.
Hopefully with fewer girls the group management will be able to afford new outfits for the remaining ones. It skeeves me out how they wear the same exact outfits at every appearance.

UUG (2) Nakagawa Chihiro and Morinaga Niina announced they are graduating too.

Thank you for your continued support of Up Up Girls (2)

Nakagawa Chihiro and Morinaga Niina will graduate at the end of the "Up Up Girls (2) Spring Tour 2023 ~Niki-chan Family Zoushoku Keikaku" on March 5th, 2023 in Fukuoka.

We have regular conversations with each member about the future, and during these conversations, Nakagawa and Morinaga consulted with us about their future outlook and future activities toward that end.

After having discussions with their leader Takahagi Chinatsu and sub-leader Kajishima Aya, graduation was decided in consideration of the future activities of Up Up Girls (2), Nakagawa's preparation period for University and Morinaga's plans to study different languages from other countries.

We have only about a half month left, but we will release our last EP as a 7 member line-up on February 22nd, and we will start our live tour from now on. They will also hold their respective graduation events.

Not only the two graduating members, but all seven members are determined to continue to push up Up Up Girls (2) to new heights.

Please continue to support Up Up Girls (2) Nakagawa Chihiro and Morinaga Niina.

What!? Waah! I shouldn't be surprised sigh. Both UUG(Kari) and (2) seem like they're barely hanging on at this point. I mean, I have totally non-famous personal friends whose IG accounts routinely get more likes than the UUG official accounts. You'd think at least their concert groupies would try to help buff their social media presence. Niina in particular I'll miss. She kinda had a wholesome Maimi-like aura about her. About her future goals, I always thought she was giving polyglot anyway, so I'm happy that she's going to learn languages in earnest.

As far as I'm concerned, they could just fold Haruka and Yurika into UUG(2) and let the other Kakko Kari's all graduate.

They also have a new music video out, "Dong-Dong-Dong!!!!!!!!" The song’s a bit of a hot mess but not for lack of trying on their part.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I expected an audition much sooner than this, but I guess we got here either way. I hope the audition footage we get is as interesting to watch as the last.

In UUG(2)'s new MV, Sukina Hito no Sukina Hito, there's a surprise guest star!
This is a really cute song and video.
