I wasn't even aware that there were 2nd generation KKS I wonder if they're the back dancers in the MV ?

 

Now for my personal opinion on the song : somehow the song reminds me of NO NAME's Kaze wa Fuiteiru. Also, my first impression of the MV was that it looked low-budget (mostly just the girls dancing on the beach) but in the end I like that it goes from day to sunset to night, so it's not just a generic beach dance shot.
EDIT : Actually I think I'm getting vibes from both Kaze wa Fuiteiru and Yume wa Nando me Umarekawaru, which is very weird but still more of the former.

STU48 announced their 3rd single today.
The title track is "Daisuki na hito" ("The person I love" if I'm not mistaken? I hope I'm not making a beginner's mistake). It will come out on July 31st.
The MV is here :

Apparently it features all members? I need to watch again to see if I can spot CUCA.

I didn't see a thread about this so here it is, I hope this is the right place.

 

It has been announced that ANGERME would have a concert in Paris, France, on June 3, 2018.

 

The concert will take place in La Cigale, the same venue where °C-ute had their De Retour à Paris concert last year and right next door to where Juice=Juice performed last September.

 

Tickets go on sale at 8PM French time (that's in a few minutes!) at Weezevent.com : https://www.weezevent.com/angerme

The event is organized by 33 Degrees, just like °C-ute's and J=J's.

 

Regular ticket is 40€.

Premium ticket is 80€ and includes early entry and a handshake with the girls.

The concert will start at 8PM.

 

It has been announced that premium ticket purchases will be limited to one per order, so if you need more than one, you will need to place several orders and hope for the best.

 

I'll post more information once I have my ticket x)
