Atarashii Gakko No Leaders (New School Leaders) was formed in 2015 by Asobisytem. Mizyu (the one with two ponytails) was already on their books as she was a back up dancer to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and they brought in Rin, Kanon and Suzuka to join her. They didn't have much success initially and were dropped by their record label, Victor, in 2020 which is when they were picked up by 88Rising and started to concentrate more on the US market and began working with Money Mark. They do all their own choreography and also create dances for other groups. They have some of the most original choreo I've seen from an idol group. In fact they are almost an anti-idol group as their motto is "With personality and freedom I'm going to stick out" and they sing about challenging themes and have appeared at Pride events and do some pretty avant garde art projects. They seem to get a lot of artistic freedom and describe themselves as a singing and dancing quartet and avoid the idol description. Over the last two years they've had lots of success in Japan and were a big hit at Coachella 2024 and are now on a World tour. Otona Blue (Adult Blue, pronounced as Otona buru by Suzuka which means to act like an adult) is about "teenage awakening" ie the awareness of desire in others and their own desire to grow up and experience adult emotions. AG wrote the lyrics themselves when they were younger and I think it's an honest expression of their feelings as they approached adulthood, which makes some people uncomfortable. But AG never shy away from difficult subjects. They actually cut out some of the more explicit "phallic" bits of the dance and introduced a mime of a flower opening with a surprised look to go with their coquettish dancing. Their music is influenced by Showa era pop, Beastie Boys and jazz: Otona Blue is similar to a 1970s hit by Akiko Wada called Furui Nikki. Another teenage angst song is "Nai Nai Nai" and here's a live performance the gave in Cologne. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4W2ZaGHfr6Jo7M

Love AG, the are the only band considered “pop” I ever listen to. Usually just metal and rock but they are so fun, charismatic and frankly interesting. My favorites are Koi Geba and Dokubana both of which have good videos and quite a different sound.

Check out Shiken Zenya (The Night Before The Exam) It’s an Acid Jazz/ Punk frenzy. The lyrics consist mainly of literary phrases that high school students are expected to memorize by the thousands. Also shot in one take, by a very talented steadicam operator.
