Yessss — major debut!! Maybe they’ll start releasing more regularly now? They only had one single release in the spring and then were mostly inactive as a group for the rest of the year so I’m hoping this year will be different.

[rurupedia]

i love pink cres so this is really exciting to see! as @punkin said i hope this means we get more regular releases ^^

[Nayok-Kihara]

First press bonus for Regular A is 1 trading / playing card randomly selected from a set of four (3 solo + 1 group) featuring "Roulette" MV costume part 1. Regular B cards will feature "Roulette" MV costume part 2, and Regular C cards will feature "Roulette" MV costume part 3.

National release events (mini live & single pre-order) at major record stores will be held to promote the single. Last year with the release of "Tokyo Confusion / Uchuu no Onna wa Amakunai" they held events in 12 prefectures, this time they're aiming to more than double that and hit around 30. Additional details to be announced soon.

Pink cres songs are always fun so looking forward to this release. I'm curious to see how well they will sell now that this is a major debut as their 1st single sold quite well despite being an indies single. Hope we can get Airi level sales.

they look so good!!!!! i can't even decide a fave cover omg

 

ooooh and i just noticed hikaru's credit for the rap lyrics on think over, i can't wait to hear it woah

[Nayok-Kihara]

I was shocked to see Hikaru's name in the credits, but her rapping has gotten progressively better over time so I'm really looking forward to seeing this side of it too.

[Punkin]

I don’t like Yuuka or Miya’s dresses, and the first cover would be nice but Miya’s pose is awkward... the only cover I really like is Reg B.

So excited to get so many new songs from them though! That’s 5!! I wonder if between these and the indies single made up the unreleased album? And maybe they’re dropping the album entirely and adjusting the songs and releasing them like this? Just a thought.

[Nayok-Kihara]

That seems possible. Maybe they'll talk about it at some point (or the album will surprisingly show up again and we'll have our answer that way, haha).

[Ruscion]

GIRLS PRIDE and BLACK OUT were a part of the leaked/rumored tracklist, for sure. GIRLS PRIDE in particular was previewed on the radio over a year ago, back before the mini album got scrapped. https://mobile.twitt...749100150480898

[Nayok-Kihara]

I guess that answers the question then! Thanks for the reminders, Ruscion.

[Punkin]

Thanks for the info Rusciori! I looked into it and Think Over was also on the 6-track tracklist, but Tokyo Confusion and Uchuu were not so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were maybe songs that were decided to not be good enough for the album and were possibly going to be released anyway but was rushed last minute for the single release

・ Operating staff will also wear masks.

・ Participants are required to cooperate in wearing a mask.

Short version of the music video is on upcoming at 32:15

 

I fell in love with the song from just the first second 

The girls look amazing the the MV is so good 

[rurupedia]

oh my god they look so good in the pv!!!!!! and the song sounds like a bop!!!!!!! aaaaaaa i can't wait :')

[DiegoKashiwagi]

this is so good!

[Nayok-Kihara]

The full "Roulette" MV!

[MimiChama]

The full MV is out!



This MV is definitely their best yet, I hope they get the recognition they deserve.
I‘m worried sales will suffer from the cancelled release events so if you have time please leave them comments on their social media, I imagine the girls must be worried and sad right now, especially since this is their first major release and might be a deciding point for the future of the group.


EDIT: they also uploaded a dance practice vid!
