J-POP VIRGIN FIRST TIME REACTING TO "ATARASHII GAKKO! – OTONABLUE / THE FIRST TAKE"

Otona Blue is about a teenage girl’s awareness of the “male gaze” and her desire to experience adult love, but knowing that she’s still too young. There's a pun in the title as “Otona Blue” means “adult blues”, but Suzuka always introduces it as “Otona Buru” which means “pretending to act like an adult”. The song is influenced by the 1970s hit "Furui Nikki" by Akiko Wada. It was written when AG! were still teenagers and only avoids being really creepy because AG! wrote the lyrics themselves and I think it's a pretty honest expression of their feelings at that time. It's also interesting because AG! are young women who have made careers of being looked at, yet they avoid the usual sexual banality of many girl groups. The demur school uniforms were a reaction against the garish costumes that their agency was suggesting, which makes the slightly provocative dancing all the more surprising. AG! were formed in 2015 by the Asobisystem Agency. Mizyu (oldest and with 2 pigtails) had worked for the agency before as a dancer with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and the other three also had experience as child performers. They do all the choreography themselves and write a lot of the lyrics and work with producers on the music. They were initially paired with the jazz musician H Zett M for their first albums, but didn't get much support from their agency and their quirky style didn't sell well in Japan. In 2019 they were dropped by their record label, but kept putting out Tiktok posts through Covid and were eventually signed by the US agency 88Rising to see if they would do well internationally. This really saved AG! as they worked with Money Mark and performed at some US festivals and started to build an international following. Then in 2023 Otona Blue went viral in Japan and they have followed up with more music and World tours.번역 보기

The red armbands signify the leader of a group. Atarashii Gakko! means "new school", but it is a shortened international name. Their full Japanese name means "leaders of the new school'" and as leaders they wear these armbands.번역 보기
