Up Up Girls will be releasing their third album on March 17th!

Track List

09. Bijo no Yajuu

From the official channel…



As far as I can tell, the title is a play on the Japanese name for the classic story "Beauty and the Beast" — instead, in this case, it's "Beauty's Beast" and they're the Beast.

Except for the fact that they're miming the mics — which is fine for dance practice but not for a released video, not even a low-budget dance shot for an album track — I like it.

From the official channel: a UFZS dance cover of a UUG song?



Whatever it is, it's hot. And they fixed the choreography so that they're no longer miming the mics.

I gotta say, taken as a complete package — music style, dance style, stage act, indie vibe, member mix, and so on — I think I like UUG more than any single group in H!P proper.

Another version of this, this time with Korean subtitles.

Konatsu Furukawa is awesome…

…and so freaking cute, too.

Heck, the two of them would probably make a good manzai konbi, with Kona as the tsukkomi and Saki as the boke. They're consistently the most entertaining pair to host the weekly Showroom broadcast.

(i need to do better with UUG news. they're in the middle of their autumn tour.)

Playing a game to see who gets the solo page in their 2016 calendar…

Spoiler: show

Like I said, Konatsu is awesome.
