It is a Sunday after all and some of my family attend church, so I thought it would be fitting to show one of the latest by song-and-dance group Atarashii Gakko no Leaders（新しい学校のリーダーズ）. After all, as one commenter for the music video of "One Heart" put it, there is something very upbeat gospel about the song to get the parishioners out of their pews to dance.
"One Heart" was only released on March 13th this year as a digital single and as yonkey's words and music express, AGL just wants to take everyone higher. It feels inspirational and as the Billboard Japan website puts it, the good ladies within the group desire to bring hope and support to everyone of all ages and backgrounds and ambitions. That sounds mighty powerful for a commercial selling fettucine-shaped gummies.
One piece of trivia from the J-Wiki article for the song is that during the big scene at the end of the music video, three hundred members of the official AGL fan club were selected by lottery to participate. Now, that's ambitious, boys and girls!
This song is very upbeat! I am not sure is "Secular gospel" is actually a genre, but if it is then I would classify this song as such.
ReplyDeleteSecular gospel is about as good a name as any. I'm wondering if AGL will go on an international tour next year. I would probably think that the ladies would prefer keeping things at home this year after a busy time last year.
