Oh, nice. That means we might get more that two J=J singles this year

Bittersweet that we only had graduation singles, though.

Rather than making a statement about it, they decided to put it into a song lol
 

https://helloproject...en_Setsu#Trivia
"25sai Eien Setsu" is a sarcastic reference to the fan theory named "25sai Teinen Setsu" (25歳定年説; 25-Year-Old Retirement Theory) which was fueled by the graduation announcements of Iikubo Haruna, Wada Ayaka and Miyazaki, the three oldest Hello! Project members in 2018, re-enforcing some fans' beliefs that female idols are forced to graduate before or when they turn 25. After Miyazaki's graduation announcement video on YouTube mostly received comments mentioning the fan theory, Wada vented about it on her blog the next day, saying she was extremely disappointed in people being focused on their age instead of supporting their decisions.

Glad they decided to splitt the graduation releases into two. I am still sad to see Yuka go!!!!

June... So only 2 months to go. Maybe she will get a solo B-Side or a center song like Good Bye & Good Luck

[Touki]

Great to see that KOUGA will compose one of J=J's song again. However, I'd love to see how he breaks out of his usual style found in Hana Moyou, Yuki no Planetarium and Bitansan.

By the way, if it's true that most Japanese fans care about the age limit, it will be really disappointing, considering that some AKB members stayed as idols after the age of 25.

[Punkin]

^ it’s not about caring about an age limit, like they want it upheld or something. It’s about noticing that no one in H!P (I don’t think) has lasted past 25 in a group and that because of that it seems to prove the theory correct. Japanese fans would probably love the girls to stay longer if they could and it wouldn’t be an issue, but they’ve noticed they never do - and the graduations of members recently hitting that mark just makes it even more suspicious. If anything, they’re telling UF that there doesn’t have to be one if there is.

[midnightbottle]

That's interesting. And what's with giving double A-sides as the graduation singles for the leaders/sub-leader. Yanamin is one lucky girl with a triple a-side single plus a graduation song on an EP for CG.

I do have a feeling "25sai..." will feature a monologue from Yuka. Hahhaa.

[Solarbladepsy]

From the main site, the song listing remains yhe same (it was previously undecided)

Hitori de Ikirare Sou and 25sai Eien Setsu were performed the first time on the first day of the JuiceFull!!!!!!! tour (concert tour) today.

[IchVermisseDenSommer]

OHHH!! I can't wait for the rips!

[YellowAccel]

Really can’t wait !!!

Just got the rip of yesterday Zama afternoon show from 5ch
20190428_1.mp3

15:15~18:45 "Hitori de Ikirare Sou" tte Sore tte nee
93:37-97:49 25sai Eien Setsu

[YellowAccel]

Wow, that's a pretty good single. Glad Yuka got 2 good songs for her last single and 2 great solo parts in her graduation song. Could be wrong, but i think i heard her a lot in group parts as well. Just waiting for the covers to preorder my copy. (Oh and Akari rocked her solo parts )

Oh wow, I love the first song. The second one is nice but not my type.

[BoredPikachu]

Hitori de is very hype and 25 Eien is gonna kill me, hoping for a b-side that also more of a send-off vibe than 25 Eien

[IchVermisseDenSommer]

I love Hitori  A LOT! Again with an anime opening kinda vibe just like some other h!p songs recently lolol

I'm all for JJ being kinda experimental with their sound for quite a while now. And none of it sounds like your usual h!p music.

[miyooooons]

Woaaaah it's actually really cool. But MAN that opening line...is breathtaking. Is it Karin? Why can't I tell LOL.
