[5/9] Angerme 24th - Nakenai ze...Kyoukan Sagi / Uraha=Lover / Kimi Dake ja nai sa...friends (2018 Acoustic Ver.)

[Sohee]

I really like all the songs this time around. Uraha has really nice lyrics ❤️ Though the music video didn’t match it at all so that’s weird.
nakenai ze feels the most angerme though.

Having that said, still can’t get into the group. I love some of the girls but the group does nothing for me. Wish I knew why

I thought this single was quite good and there was a reasonable amount of promotion that went into it.

I don't really care too much if Angerme sells a lot of singles or not. But in comparison to J=J they did underperform and are stagnating. I do find it a bit worrisome how Angerme is a group in HP that gets treated quite well but aren't even close to rivalling Morning Musume yet in terms of sales despite how long management has been pushing for them to be. It just looks bad on management. Objectively, if they did care they would be focusing on maintaining Tsubaki Factory's momentum. But they don't care too much about sales anyway, and so they'll just continue to do things as they are currently.

You know, that just happens.

I absolutely love Angerme as a group, really really love them. But I can understand how you feel because I feel the same thing as you about Tsubaki and Morning Musume. I love their songs, but it's just not the same as Angerme when it comes to loving the groups. The good thing about H!P is that they have several groups that are all a bit different, but all still very H!P. These small differences can just make the difference in your opinion about these groups, loving one to death, not caring too much about the other.

I actually find it refreshing. I can go to an Angerme concert and simply love it because it Angerme. But I can also go to an MM concert and just love it for the music without having to care too much about the individual girls.

As for this single, I really love it. I came back yesterday from Japan, so I couldn't go to all events this week. The single was announced after I booked my trip, I mainly went for the Golden Week concerts. But seeing the songs performed really up close (I got some really good numbers at 4 of the events) they just come alive, especially when they are having with it. Especially when Murotan came up with alternative chants for Nakenai ze, and all the fans shouting them. Then seeing Ayacho really hating the chants and giving a thumbs down to the crowd. And during other round seeing them do these songs full energy, no distractions, it's of course also pretty awesome. Just seeing them have fun performing the songs is just priceless.
