[2017.06.21] Angerme - Ai Sae Areba Nanni mo Iranai / Namida iro no Ketsui / Majokko Megu-chan

[MejraThea]

Announced on today's H!S and on the website, Angerme's new triple A side single. Three regular, three limited, and one special, the new usual.

[Anderei]

I hope Maho is participating since this doesn't release for about a billion years.

[TicTacAnyone]

Kobuuuuuuuuuuuuuushiiiiii?
 
 
Also, Kimi Saeba Nani mo Iranai? I'm having flashbacks lol. Either way, always excited for a new Angerme release :)

[Elpis]

I'm glad there's at least something coming soon even if it is 3 months from now.

I hate that this is the new usual.

If it's like C-ute last single, it may also mean the come back of dance shots, which I personnally miss a lot.

[Anderei]

Second a-side is called 'I Musou Strong'. They same 'I'm so strong' in the song.
 
Concert recording.
 
It reminds me of something else, but I can't think of what. It's okay. If they rearrange the songs, I hope this isn't the main a-side, because it's not strong enough for that imo. 

[TicTacAnyone]

The title is such a good play on words...
 
I(Mu) so Strong=I'm so strong, but musou=unmatched. So it also sort of has the alternative meaning of I'm (unmatched) strong. 
 
 
I kinda dig it. It's a different kind of rock than they've been doing lately. Like a mix of EDM and rock... I totally get like a '12 K-Pop feel from it.

Recording is now on youtube.
 
I'm still not into it after giving it a few more listens.

[Farrah]

I think this will sound way, way, way better in the studio recording.  You can tell the girls aren't super familiar with the song yet because they're lagging on the rhythm and overthinking it.  But the instrumental sounds beast from what we can hear and reminds me of old fighting games I played as a kid like Street Fighter, Bushido Blade, etc so I'm pumped!  I'm not instantly in love with it like some of their other recent songs but I hear potential for something really good.

[Anderei]

Turns out I Musou Strong will not be included on the single. Takechan told the crowd at a live it was just for lives.
 
They've said Ai Sae Areba will be their most difficult choreo yet (although I don't think most of their previous dances have been that hard).
2nd track is a ballad.
3rd track is a cover, which everyone already figured because of the Idol Matsuri thing. It'll be an old famous song.

[TheParuProject]

That's disappointing. I actually really enjoy I Musou Strong. Guess now we have to wait for a 2022 ANGERME album.

[Shoujo Q]

I musou sad that, I Musou Strong will NOT be on their next single. I'm have ENOUGH of these god damn concert only songs. Release them on a god damn album already. I'm sick of it. I was hoping, oh hey, they'll release them on the PetiteMoni CDs because those have been so very boring the last few years, but NO. Not even that. I'm getting sick and tired of this shit Up-Front. 

[Solarblade]

The anime song they'll cover is "Majokko Megu-chan" - http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2090324/amp/

[DonJuan]

I guess it's this song then. Apparently the lyrics are "racy". Looks like Cutie Honey to be honest.

[Anderei]

Yeah, the lyrics have the protagonist bragging about her breasts and ability to manipulate boys with her looks.


So naturally Kassa will probably be the lead because of course.

If she does, I already feel bad for her.

Short bit of filming the mv. Warning: bad outfits and LOTS of blush.

[DonJuan]

And lipstick huh. Well, ANGERME can't always be lucky with the costumes. At least they're not white.

[JPope]

Those outfits are terrible, but I think the makeup might appear more garish than it actually is due to the crappy, over-saturated video.

[TicTacAnyone]

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(250,252,255);">That "sick" make up look is still pretty in right now, so I'm not entirely surprised. And by the looks of it... Are they really having Momona main this? I definitely thought it would be Murotan with the subject matter O_O

I think they'd look really good without the orange quarter skirt and shoulder hanging off the side. I know it's a throwback to Megu's orange dress but I would've rather they just left it off.

[Anderei]

Covers almost never get performed so I guess they're letting the young girls head this one (a la Sally), and the stronger girls are gonna lead the main song.

[Solarblade]

Single is officially titled "Ai Sae Areba Nanni mo Iranai / Namida Iro no Ketsui / Majokko Megu-chan"   (愛さえあればなんにもいらない/ナミダイロノケツイ/魔女っ子メグちゃん) - http://www.helloproject.com/release/detail/HKCN-50518/

Well Ayaka Sasaki is covering Cutie Honey. So, a theme. Racey Perverted Year of Anime. \:D/

[Farrah]

I feel like the outfits will look a little better in a less saturated video.  Not a big fan of those colors COMBINED but we've had shittier H!P costumes so I ain't gonna complain LOL.


I hate young ass idols singing racy lyrics but I also feel like ANGERME will nail this song, so...

[Anderei]

It's the theme this year, because the other ambassador Sasaki Ayaka is doing the Cutie Honey theme song. The only difference is she's 20. 
 
I wish it were switched, the Cutie Honey song is much better lol.

[Anderei]

Main singers:

Ai sae areba nanni mo iranai (1st and 2nd gen)

Namida iro no Ketsui (3rd and 4th gen)
