#ATARASHIIGAKKO #OTONABLUE
Will check out more Atarashii Gakko on my main channel youtube.com/@anthonytoo ~!
Suzuka does generally have the deepest/richest voice of the girls, but she plays it up somewhat for this particular song. OTONABLUE is a pun in Japanese on a phrase that basically means "acting mature", with the lyrics meant to be from the point of view of a young girl wanting to be viewed as grownup and mature. To add to this idea of acting older than they are, the sort of old fashioned synth sounds in the song are reminiscent of Showa Era pop music (particularly the 70s and 80s, including stuff like city pop), which was a period that had a lot of female singers with deep smooth voices like Suzuka's.
She's the youngest one too but has so much confidence & personality
@@r7calvin2nd youngest. She was born in November of 2001 and Kanon was born in January of 2002
@@melonlord4889 i stand corrected
1:23 "they feel very weird but they feel very true to themselves"
...is a sentence worthy of another recommendation:
ATARASHII GAKKO! & Warren Hue - Freaks
I love them so much and I actually went to their concert last week! Best experience in my entire life by far
I think Kanon looked directly at me at one point (my delusional ass)
Atarashii Gakko No Leaders (New School Leaders) was formed in 2015 by Asobisystem. Mizyu (the one with two ponytails) had already worked at Asobisystem as she was a back up dancer to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Rin, Kanon and Suzuka joined her. They do all their own choreography and also create dances for other groups, here 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. It seems that their agency gives them quite a bit of artistic freedom and they do side projects in dance, art, video and Rin DJs. The school sailor uniforms were chosen when the members were all still in school (8 years ago) to show that they were representing Japanese youth spirit and the retro style matches the retro tone of some of their music.
Otona Blue (Adult Blues, blue is also associated with youth and immaturity in Japan and otonaburu means "acting 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 can make people uncomfortable. But AG never shy away from difficult subjects. Suzuka has the strongest voice and biggest personality and she's the natural lead in concert situations, but in smaller and quieter performances all the members can shine as each one has a good voice. Suzuka and Mizyu tend to take the lead in interviews...Mizyu is the oldest and worked with KPP so I think she has some seniority.
They just played their first stadium concert in Japan and are currently on a short N.American tour playing in small venues. Check out some of their live concert in NYC.

Suzuka & Rin were both born in '01, Kanon in '02, and, Mizyu in '98.
Wow! I don't think I could have guessed in a million years how that video was going to go but I loved it. I'm about to go look up more of their music cuz I really like their voices and talk about energy
I also looked up their ages cuz them lyrics were sending me (they are 21 to 25) but I agree with your interpretation.
They wrote this as teenagers as they were exploring heading to adulthood but still not mature. AG faces issues head on and have many songs that explore social issues. The mv for Koi Geba is especially powerful as it deals with teacher/student affairs in Japan. Plus the song just slaps.
@@tackle47 thank you! I checked out Koi Geba just now and the MV and message was really impactful even without the lyrics and then checking out the lyrics that really added to it. There definitely doing something different I'm really intrigued.
@@MssMercedes treat I am mostly a metal fan and live a lot of Japanese metal bands. Couple of years ago kept seeing AG in UA-cam recommendations. Boom 2 years later never thought I could be so into a non metal or rock band. Enjoy exploring their music.
@@tackle47I know what you mean, I’ve said before that I’m sometimes surprised at how many “metal heads” (myself included) that like AG, their sense of humor and choreography are captivating, not to mention catchy music and their diverse sound.
@@MssMercedesthe lyric and the scene of koi geba are a bit different tho. the scenes tell that the relationship is happening, but the lyric is actually about the girl's inner-conflict if she should confess her feeling to her teacher or not, and questioning if her feeling towards her teacher is right or wrong. so it is not about a teacher har*ssing his student, like some comments suggested in the video.
Yea they're all in their 20s!
I believe one of them is 25 and the rest are like 21 or 22
Mizyu is the oldest. She's 24.
For the record, they *do* rap, just not in this song
You should react to their newest song Tokyo calling! And other songs too..
They deserve the world, they are so good
more attarashii gakko react please!!!
just shot a Music video with Atarashii Gakko 4/18/24, after they just played Coachchella at a skydiving site in elsinore california they filmed some crazy stuff
i play a cowboy it was an amazing and creative experience Talented ladies........
wish i could tell you what they filmed............... but it will be a secret kept.
aye shouts to you man, hope you can share your work once its released, lmk!
@@TooPiece they did not say when it will come out. but looking at the storyboard you will be amazed
4:23 i think this is pop genre, but they also do MANY other genres too! Like: Rock, Funky, HipHop.. Example: SaisyuJinrui, which meets with Rock genre. I also recommend listening/digging into their songs more. They’re amazing.
Best thing about them is that they sometimes write their own songs, and mostly even do and write their own choreography too!
I’ll give you some stuff about them if ure interested🌚:
2 months ago, they completed their first ever arena concert!
They used to be in past kid groups and also models when they were kids
Mizyu (twintails) was actually a backup dancer for the famous singer, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu when she was little!!
Suzuka has a deep voice, but her scream is the opposite of deep voice LMAO
If youre wondering how old they are, they are all above 20!
I’ll give some ages from oldest to youngest:
Mizyu: 24 (turning 25 on the dec 22)
Rin: 22
Suzuka: 22
Kanon: 21
ok more facts uwu:
New ag fans always think that Mizyu is the youngest, since shes super short af
Suzuka is the main vocalist, but obvi every member sings too!
Mizyu has 4 solo songs. Which are: Wakaranai, Toumei Girl, Amayo No Seppun & Chirachirachiramii Shiken Toujitsu!
ok thats all, ion wanna get anything personal involved soo yeahh🌚
i really recommend atarashii gakko because ALL OF THEIR SONGS ITS PERFECT!!
You were pretty much spot on with the lyrics interpretation! atarashi gakko are always a blast, I hope you do check them out more in the future :)) if you're ever looking for anything else new on the first take, I highly HIGHLY recommend pretty much anything that queen bee has there !! two of the songs they've performed are anime openings/endings -- fire and mephisto (for dororo's opening and oshi no ko's ending respectively) -- and come to mind since you mentioned, but their vocalist is AMAZING imo so I don't think you can go wrong regardless with them lol
Loved your reaction and I also went to their seishun tour and saw them at hitc LA 2023 ❤
you should definitely listen to ado's live fleeting lullaby it is amazing
I Love this song
Great reaction!
Appreciate you robert!
1:40 It's not Transformers, it's kumitaisou (group gymnastics) that we often do at school sports days.
ahhh thanks for the context!
@@TooPiece Yes, because it is atarashii gakko (new school)
The First Take video was my first introduction to AG! as well.
They now rival Babymetal in the contest for my favourite Japanese Female Band . . .
Speaking of BABYMETAL, Monochrome at First TAKE and live at PIA Aarena, back to back?
🤘🦊⚡️
I love them they are super Cute.. BTW love your Energy too my Brother..
thanks man!! 🙏🏽 appreciate you
You should check out Syudou (He helped Ado make USSEEWA)
You should listen to Tokyo calling by them
Mammamoo
The main vocal name Suzuka she's 20+
If you’re checking out THE FIRST TAKE videos:
1. Chanmina’s BIJIN, then Harenchi.
2. LiSA’s Gurenge, then Homura.
He needs to hear Tokyo calling. He would flip out
❤
They already on jimmy kimmel in usa
PLEASE REACT TO BABYMONSTER - SHEESH
rin got the best fade in the game and it aint even close
these girls are the type of friends that can actually turn some introverts into full on extrovert lmao
"What genre is this?".. A new one!
love that!
i remember finding out about them after getting rick rolled by this song
The girl with short hair kinda looks and sound like Maya from XG omg
Please also give BE:FIRST's "mainstream" reactions.
😂😂😂 I just realized that this song is kinda sexual 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They're adults..
The socks say SEISYUN NIHON DAIHYOU in Japanese instead of ATARASHII GAKKO!
These girls are very traditional ... they met in high school. They were all gymnasts. Together with their label they promote Japanese ways and culture in a fun way.
They are wearing uwabaki (Japanese school slippers ... you take your street shoes off in school, and hamidashi socks)
Please react to Kandy town “kold chain” first take.
Its quite surprising but they r 18 or maybe 19 😶
Kanon, the youngest is 21.
Mizyu is the oldest at 24 years old.
The other two are 22.
