ATARASHII GAKKO! - OTONABLUE / THE FIRST TAKE - UK Reaction

[@Grum-monkey]

As well as their live videos, it's worth seeking out their dance practice videos, and the single take/special choreography versions of their songs (Giri Giri - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHvbYpukqcuthas Nai Nai - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKqok6ukbapgfaM).

And this is their own choreography, no one else can do it. They choreograph themselves, and also do choreography to order for other groups.

I'm glad you reacted to this video because "Otona Blue" is their breakout song and a fan favourite. You are right that Suzuka is the lead singer on stage as she has the largest personality (closely followed by Mizyu) and strongest voice, but Rin does a lot of the rapping and Mizyu and Kanon also have substantial singing parts in more melodic songs. Suzuka is very confident and will usually jump into the crowd towards the end of performances. I still think of AG! as a dance group who are also talented singers. They work with producers on the songs, but the choreography is their responsibility and I think they come at the songs initially through the dance. Otona Blue (Adult Blues) is a pun as Suzuka says "Otonaburu" on purpose which means to "act like an adult". It's about "teenage awakening" ie. the awareness of desire in others and their own desire to grow up and experience adult emotions, or at least their fantasy of them. They sing about trying to act older than they are and also do a deliberately coquettish dance. 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 can make people uncomfortable, but it seems like an important subject for 4 young women who started performing in front of people when they were teenagers. Here is another fun video of their recent encore in London where they sang "Que Sera Sera" which is about not finding love just yet, but being ok with that. You'll see their personalities on display and their connection with the crowd and also see the 5th member of AG!, their manager "OTA". kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2KmmaRnqK5lba8

And just for reference, here is the link to the motion sickness song Rakuen nite, watashi jigoku (In Paradise, My Hell) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYfWhqKjnM16aLM It's a silly little pop song that may not be good for a reaction but is still enjoyable for general Gakko enrichment. Witty humour is a big part of what AG is about. And as you can tell from the 2 videos that you have seen, their musical style can vary greatly.
