AAA Release Music Video for ‘DEJAVU’

29.July.2018 | MUSIC

6-member Japanese pop group AAA have dropped a music video for their new song DEJAVU. The song serves as the lead track to their forthcoming new album COLOR A LIFE set for release on August 29.

 

The concept behind the music video is that ambiguous dreamlike world you sink into during déjà vu.

 

Like their single LIFE, which became popular for the L-dance, the new uses catchy choreography, with the members making a V shape during the chorus – the “V” of “déjà vu.” A lot of teenagers in Japan have been copying the dance moves of their favourite artists and posting it online. We might be seeing the new V-dance from them very soon.

The group also unveiled the CD cover (above) for COLOR A LIFE. The picture itself makes use of a lot of colour. Fans will be very much anticipating this 12-track album from AAADEJAVU is now available early for digital download.

  • AAA’s New Song ‘Tomorrow’ to be Used as Main Theme Song for Japanese Drama

    15.June.2018 | MUSIC

    Japanese pop group AAA are currently in the middle of their fan meeting tour which is taking theme to arenas across Japan. In recent news, it’s just been announced that their new song Tomorrow will be used as the main theme song for the upcoming Fuji TV Tuesday 9pm drama series Kenkou de Bunkateki na Saiteigendo no Seikatsu which will begin in July. This marks AAA‘s first involvement in providing a main theme for a Tuesday 9pm drama.

    The drama, set to begin on Tuesday July 17 at 9pm (JST) features Japanese actress Riho Yoshioka as the protagonist. The show takes place in a welfare department and explores themes that hit home to anybody including money, health, work and family.

     

    The show is based off the manga of the same name by Haruko Kashiwagi. The original work placed 10th in the Kono Manga wa Sugoi! 2015 awards. It has received high praise and attention not much in the media, but with case workers, as well as in the medical care and welfare departments.

    Tomorrow was written specifically for the drama series and is AAA‘s first ballad track in almost 3 years. The song states that although we may feel a loss of emotional support in our lives, it’s important to hold the love and words of those precious to us close and take a bold forward into tomorrow.

     

    Below is a comment from the drama’s producer Takashi Yoneda who spoke about AAA‘s involvement.

    “AAA is a group who is gaining support from a diverse range of people. But that didn’t happen overnight. They’ve got to where they are now with time, hard work, and experience in their career. That’s why their music has the power to encourage anyone. I was convinced that there was no other artist fitting enough, so I asked them on board.

     

    Mitsuhiro Hidaka, a member of AAA, is himself a fan of the original manga. He also spoke about his enjoyment in being put in charge for the drama’s main theme song.

    “I am extremely grateful for being able to be involved like this. The topic of welfare may be something difficult to picture in your head just hearing the word, but I look forward to the day that I can feel Emiru and the gang’s growth told alongside my story, and your story. That it’s not a story about wanting to keep the place you live close.”

     

    AAA will release their new album COLOR A LIFE on August 29. The album includes the track Tomorrow which features in the drama. The group will go on to tour in September in support of the album.

    On Wednesday 14th December, SKY-HI, who had just released “Double Down”, surprised a crowd of 3000 fans at TOYOSU Pit with the news that they will be performing in the Nippon Budokan next year.

     

    With the booming success of their hall tour at the start of the year and their live performances at numerous festivals, their “SKY-HI LIVE HOUSE TOUR 2016~Round A Ground~” started on 20th September in Fukushima, invaded the Kyoto region on 10th December, and then was wrapped up with their finale “SKY-HI LIVE HOUSE TOUR 2016~Round A Ground Tokyo Final~supported by MUSICA” at TOYOSU Pit, Tokyo.

    Their final live performance at TOYOSU Pit was a Battle of Bands-style live with UVERWorld ー a fellow band in the music industry and also good friends. The live tour semifinal was a massive success and the venue was filled with approximately 3,000 fans.

     

    As the performers spoke at the start of the live, the fans screamed with excitement. If they were to die today, they would be satisfied that they at least got the chance to see UVERworld standing on the big stage ー and that’s not an exaggeration! To express their gratitude to the many fans who came to see them, the rapper exclaimed “I’ll show you my ultimate weapon ー from my view through these rose-tinted glasses!” and then developed a high speed rap medley of the ending theme song for the 3rd season of popular TV show “Freestyle Dungeon”.

Upon announcing their surprise news that they will be hitting the Nippon Budokan with their hall tour, which starts in March 2017, the crowd’s enthusiasm hit its peak. They will perform in the Budokan on 2nd May 2017.
