"Seishun Wo Kirisaku Hado" was the theme tune to a Japanese TV show about school girls who play battle video games. The lyrics describe the emotional stresses that young people go through and liken them to a "battlefield" so that connects well with the theme of the TV show. AG! have also done an advert for the Playstation 5 so there's another video game tie in for them. Atarashii Gakko No Leaders (New School Leaders) were formed in 2015 by Asobisytem. They now go by Atarashii Gakko. The "sailor" uniforms are slightly old fashioned high school uniforms. Mizyu (the one with two ponytails) had already worked with Asobisystems as a back up dancer to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and she was joined by Rin, Kanon and Suzuka. Suzuka's extrovert personality and strong voice make her the obvious front person on stage and she will often leap into the crowd, but Mizyu is the oldest and in early press was sometimes described as the leader, but there's no official leader. They do all their own choreography and collaborate with producers on the songs and write a lot of the lyrics. The dancing is a big element of their shows and even though it's all highly choreographed, AG! perform with a freedom, fun and ease seldom seen in other idol type groups. Their music ranges from hip-hop, Showa era pop to jazz and rock. They are in big demand in Japan for adverts and develop dances to client requirements. Their motto is "with individuality and freedom I'm going to stick out" and they sing about some challenging themes and have appeared at Pride events. In 2020/21 they joined 88rising to break into the US market and have had success on social media and just completed a small N. American tour, were a big hit at Coachella 2024 and will do a World tour in 2024. If you'd like to react to more AG! just search on "ATARASHII GAKKO! - OTONABLUE / THE FIRST TAKE". For some live performances look at "Atarashii Gakko! Live @ Brooklyn, New York - OTONABLUE, Intergalactic, NAINAINAI" and for a very new song "AG FOREVER SISTERS Debut at Coachella 20240414" is pure disco.

HAHA! Glad you found them. They're friggin AWESOME! THey have a lot of really great songs. Their style is kinda like hip-hop-jazz-punk. They do all their own choreos and their personalities are so infectious. I think a great introduction to them is Otona Blue on the First Take channel. They have a ton of "practice" or "one-take" videos that are super impressive. Also, one of their biggest influences are the Beastie Boys, and they even teamed up with their producer for a few of their songs. Looking forward to more reactions to them. Subbed.

they said themselves that they don't have specific genre. instead they love to explore genres. if you think they are only hiphop-jazz-punk, you should definitely listen their other songs.

AG are smashing it around the world at the moment... their recent multiple performances at Coachella were outstanding, musically and in their choreography. They have appeared on late night US TV and are about to tour Europe. You have come upon a Japanese export becoming international stars. Hang on for the ride.

Welcome to the club. I've been watching them for five years. I saw them in Brooklyn last Nov. They will be in Forest Hills in May for the Head in the Clouds festival. A very talented group. Money Mark a former Producer of the Beastie Boys is working with them as well as Yonkee who wrote Otonablue.

It sounds to me that you might be going into the AG! rabbit hole. If this happens, I welcome you. If you enjoyed this one, I recommend you follow it by one called Maningen. But in all honesty, you can't go wrong with any AG! song. You will be surprised by the variety of sounds you will hear, and by how much hype and happiness you will feel by watching them perform.
