[2023.06.14] ANGERME - Ai no Kedamono / Dousousei

Post by Solarblade »

It seems that today at Takechan's Calligraphy Exhibition, it was announced that ANGERME will release one more single with Takechan involved. Only other information is that it will have a solo from her on it!

I feared they'd stopped doing solos, but it makes sense considering her tenure. Looking forward to it.

They still do solos, but I'm guessing you mean original songs? Because more recently the graduation songs have been covers,

It's very 3rd wave K-pop, but also very Anju.

It's a very fun MV, but also very H!P - always a step before uncanny valley.
Rikako ruled this one.

I feel like they put this song together with the intent of allowing Rikako to gorge in the MV.

Nice. Rikako and Layla really stood out to me.

I was thinking that this track reminded me a bit of "Kimi Sae Ireba Nani mo Iranai" (2,000 people on the dance floor!) -- especially the last eight bars of the chorus -- and sure enough the same guy arranged both (SHO-1).

First time listening to Dousouei.

Yup. That's a Tsunku song. Love the MV it's so sweet, I kinda teared up. Not a very ANGERME song though. But it doesn't need to be. Take wanted a Tsunku song for her departure and she got it. It's a very idol song though. So yeah. I think it'll grow on me. I like the instrumental. Especially the guitar break. That's nice.

Yuh huh! It's so Tsunku that without the video it'd be easy to assume it was an MM song, but with stronger vocals. Between this and "Forever Friend," Take's grad stage is gonna be a slip-and-fall hazard.

Also, they released this on the official YT channel

Today's Hello! Station opens with a short version of Take-chan's solo song, "Ikanakucha," which was written by Anju super wota Kohei Dojima.



It's pretty good, if a bit unsurprising for the moment. This would not have sounded out of place on C-ute's last single.

I am very happy that they gave her such a nice MV. (Also gives me hopes for Mizuki's last single.)

But we'll never again get a graduation song like Watashi or Jishin Motte, huh? :lol:
