But they are so cute, these three girls and two other Aida RIka and Mizuno Aoi have another sub-unit called Smile Kiss Gumi, with a completely different style.

Well, I really like TicTocTicToc, and Perfect Lolita, too.
I will keep my eye on them. ;-)

^ Perfect Lolita is a great song, the PV is good and lyrics are weird.
They uploaded a translation at their facebook page.

The UNDER FACE group concept is creative and thoughtful. Techno music with ornate costumes and props, a cyberpunk/futurist aesthetic. The girls are kawaii cyborgs with sweet voices, and the lyrics (judging by the translations) are intense and serious! The group has a similar configuration to Babymetal but the approach is quite different.
Their website offers free mp3's. I love the track "Hamigaki Gum". Pretty electronica in 3/4 time.
I ordered their two CD's from Amazon.jp, I want to support them.
Here is a live performance of their single "SKYTOWER":

A little bit more about the concept:
UF are cyborgs from a planet nobody knows. The masters/creators of UF want to study the human. So they look on the earth and see, that schools with teachers are the place, where humans learn everything.
So they create the UF-Cyborgs like schoolgirls.
And this cyborg-schoolgirls are confused about the contradictions in schools, teaching, human living, about the alleged truth.
The song "Yutori" for example, is about the suicide of young students on the basis of the hard and strictly school-education.
"Yutori" is a new school-concept of more "free spirit".

And the girls are still funny.

But I don't know if they are pro yutori, or against yutori, I understood they are against it, because it makes children "weak and irresponsible".
Leaving that topic aside, I bought their songs in CD Baby, they have Flac downloads.

I ordered one of their CDs in Amazon (first time I buy in Amazon) but it's taking a lot and I'm starting to think it wont arrive =/
They have these cool anime-like characters of UNDER FACE.

First thing of UF I saw was a picture in a twitter profile of a Moa Kikuchi (Babymetal) fan, WTF&Hell is that?, I thought. That was in Summer, about June or July. Today I like 'em more and more.
About that Yutori question: Maybe we can ask at Under Face Information, their Facebook page. I hardly can believe they prefer the harder system to the easier.

@ Xacur: you are right.
"Yutori" is against the "yutori-education". For me, the yutori-idea sounds good, but they did not work?
@ Foxmetal: Hey, don´t you like Hanako, or why don´t you post a picture of her? ^^

Posted 12 October 2013 - 03:16 PM
^Her name is Honoka
Yeah, I don't know about Yutori, I just say that because of what they wrote in the lyrics picture.

Oh ... yes. Honoka. My foult. I should not adjust other people when i´m wrong. First time i make this name-mistake. I´m so sorry.
"Yutori" ... the idea behind yutori-education did not work.
Interpretation: the idea about learning by self and more "free-thinking" (?) results in weakness, the Yutori-generation don´t do more as they have learnd, they only critizice and only talking about things, they would do. But never do. Maybe it results in ijime (bulling at school), too.

Nanako always looks tall in the videos. But she isn´t. She is only 1,42m.
Honoka is 1,33m and Ichigo 1,27m.
At this time ...
