That drummer is the legendary Nao, who was one of the founders of the band - not long afterwards, they brought in her younger brother, Ryo, on lead vocals and guitar. Nao also delivers the final set of clean vocals, standing behind the AG members. She's inspired a new generation of Japanese female drummers - including Murata Tamo of NEMOPHILA, who do a great cover of "Shimi" themselves. AG are currently on a North American tour - they're an idol-adjacent group with astonishing range.

Atarashii gakko are the four girls in uniform. They have been around since 2015, and can be defined as an alternative, even underground idol group (although many have even called them anti-idol). Suzuka, the one with glasses, is usually the singing leader, however the four of them sing (it is not your usual idol group as there is no clear leader, and they rather rely on the strengths of each one of them). Musically, they are the definition of eclectic (pop, jazz, rock, hip-hop, rap, disco, and now collaborating with a metal artist). Visually, they are quirky, colorful, and fun (even when the lyrics might be serious). They are all trained dancers, and they create their own choreographies. They collaborate in lyrics, and the direction they want the group to go. They are free spirits; they do whatever they like and want (and it is in this sense that they are not a typical idol group... I flinch by calling them idols). Finally, they've reach Charisma level 100.

I recommend you to react to the First Take version of the song Otonablue by Atarashii Gakko. It is good and fun.

SHIMI...Legendary MtH feat. my favorite AG!🔥💥 What an epic collaboration!!! Love ATARASHII GAKKO!'s versatility. They are never afraid to try new things! New School indeed! 🤘💖

AG reactions would be great. Ones I think would be good to start with are Koi Geba, Seishun wo Kirisaku Hado and Suki Lie!

I got the CD and the version on the CD still has Atarashii Gakko, but instead of the rap part, they have their vocalist (MtH vocalist, i mean) singing to the beat. that beat also has guitar riffs over it. This version is exclusive to the MV.

If you want to check out more from Atarashii Gakko! their performance of Otonablue on The First Take is a good start. After that maybe Tokyo Calling, Change or 青春を切り裂く波動 / SEISHUN WO KIRISAKU HADO.

This is quite an old song but re-recorded as a collaboration with AG, at the same time they did the same thing with another old song collaborating with Ano.

There is so many good things in this song (ie: every thing in this song) but I especially love the ending. The way AG harmonize with Ryo is just sublime.

The legendary band Maximum the Hormone with AG! 🤘🇯🇵

This song is potentially the best song of the year for us, this combination is simply brilliant. More Maximum The Hormone reactions are very welcome, the band is simply legendary. It would also be nice if you could come back to Hanabie, who started out as an MTH cover band. You wrote back then: "This is definitely the most interesting J-Rock song I've reacted to! I'm definitely intrigued and looking forward to hearing more HANABIE!" That was over a year ago. Recommendation: Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now.

Maybe the word you were looking for was "Volitional" describing the rallying of the fans for the anthem-esque feel. Great stuff man!

fun fact: Suzuka (the girl from Atarashii Gakko who sang first, with short hair and glasses) is friends with Ado, who im pretty sure you've reacted before ;)

Great reaction!!!! At this moment, I’ve developed a strong fondness for the more recent bands The Warning and Atarashii Gakko! They are incredible and unexpected. If you want to start with this unusual band, I recommend ATARASHII GAKKO! - OTONABLUE / THE FIRST TAKE / kzbin.info/www/bejne/b36xgadjr9GtY5o
