Looks like a good single. Love how they have a sense of humor and are not afraid to make fun of themselves 

[Fall]

Da Dan Dance is so catchy. There's so much Sekine that I stop what I'm doing to watch the video when I listen to it though. Ahh, the struggle

Nothing exceeds my shock that Heat Beat Island's lyrics are by Kodama Ameko.

 

The bald-faced bilingual punning... the... I don't know how to say this... obviousness? of the content.

 

I'd have thought more like Ayanokouji Sho (the singer from Kishidan) than Kodama.  But maybe she was in "a mood" when she wrote this?  Or maybe she's just discovered the questionable joys of late-night clubbing in Tokyo...

 

Fun song, but... shocked.

Hi guys! Just dropped by to see how everything is.
 

They’re actually on tour then, doing full shows. In Osaka June 15 and Nagoya June 16. Sapporo the week before.

Good timing but you’ll have to travel..

They were just next door to me and I didn't even know

Been so busy with study I could not keep track

But I have not forgotten them, I keep bringing up UUG in my Japanese classes

I think they are getting tired of it

There's a temporary special unit called team・princess, formed by members of Up Up Girls (K) and Up Up Girls (2). Because of winning something on mysta, apparently. The members are Sekine Azusa, Hashimura Rika, and Nakagawa Chihiro. The unit is self-produced by the members (concept, costumes, jacket photo, etc).
 
The first and last release event has been announced to take place on 7/19 at Tower Records Kinshicho. Their first (only) CD was released on 7/12.

That was a good concert, the energy was great!! Just wish it wasn't so overexposed by the lighting half the time...

They should have used a bigger hall. Shinjiku Blaze is small for something like this.

Yuria is so tiny, and she had to stand between Morisaki and Niina ;;
If I am not mistaken Niina is the tallest among UUG.

Dawa has joined YU-M Entertainment. I think this is relevant to UUG since Akari is a close friend of Dawa, and I have been waiting a Dawa + Akari combi concert since the Angerme/UUG concert in 2017.

This was on TV, something about TIF, but I don't know what is going on here.

It's Up To You MV has been released and it is beautiful 

[Nayok-Kihara]

Apparently Up Up Girls (Kari) have this "5 to the 5th Power Anywhere LIVE Strategy" thing going on, where people can just send in requests for them to perform - anywhere?
 
They performed at someone's wedding reception.

I'm assuming this is region locked, but it's interesting regardless.
