2023 was quite the year for Atarashii Gakko no Leaders（新しい学校のリーダーズ）. The group became the toast of the J-Pop town last year thanks to their "Otonablue"（オトナブルー）and they even became hits outside of their nation, too. Hopefully, it will continue to be upwards and onwards.
This new single of theirs from a month ago "Hello (from The Tiger’s Apprentice)" might be another big one for them...but I'm wondering if there will be choreography with one as well to match the famous neck shifting accompanying "Otonablue". Considering its short length though, it may be more of a taste of things to come perhaps. Unfortunately, I couldn't find out who was responsible for words and music, but I do get some of that Beasties Boys vibe with one. In fact, I was about to include the Label of New Wave for "Hello", but I opted for J-Rock and Pop instead. Regardless, I consider it to be AGL's raucous calling card for any of their concerts overseas.
This song actually entered the top 40 of U.S. pop radio last month, making them only the second Japanese act/group to do so(the first being XG). Happy for their success so far!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear. As I said, upwards and onwards for them.
