Up Up Girls(仮) / UUG(2) / UUG(Pro Wres)

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Greyface over at H!O recently went to an Up Up Girls show; apparently they have a new album coming out on 6/19 and they performed 7 or 8 new songs.

Regarding UUG(2), I don't think this single was as immediately catchy as the last one. I had the last single in my nightly listening routine for at least a month, these songs I've listened to a handful of times each. I don't think the costumes are as nice to look at either (but I like the makeup and hair for the first song).

I'm still a little sad they barely showed any of the dance in the "Happisu" PV. I think a lot of that songs charm comes from the goofy solo dances and they only really showed off one near the end. I've been going back to the SATOYAMA performance instead, even though the audio isn't ideal.

I don't remember; is this an event that ends up on TV in some form at a later date, or is it a lost cause?

is this an event that ends up on TV in some form at a later date

I don't know, but I certainly hope we see some footage at least.

Spoiler: show

Can anyone tell me who 久保裕行 is? He's listed as composer on Watashitachi and all I can find out is that he's a member of THE Inazuma Sentai.
KOMEDIUM sounds like an absolute jam btw. Oomori Seiko did lyrics and composition on it.
