Although Budokan was called the holy place of a Rock, is known as a gateway to success of idol now. Morning Musume, Perfume, AKB48 and Momoiro Clover Z Many idols held the concerts at Budokan. It has been recognized as a proof of a success.
But, circumstances surrounding the it has changed in 2013 and later. SUPER☆GiRLS, ℃-ute, Berryz Kobo, TOKYO GIRLS' STYLE, BABYMETAL, Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku and Dempagumi inc. Many of next-generation idols held the concert at Budokan. The seating capacity of Budokan is 8,000-10,000. And they can gather many fans.
On August 28, Syachihoko will hold a concert at Budokan only one year after their major debut. They based in Nagoya and belong to Stardust. They are called Momoclo's younger sister.
How do they differentiate themselves from other idols?
First, the lyrics of their songs are distinctive. Koibito wa Sniper: Nagoya Kou Suizokukan(Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium) Osu no Shoutengai(Osu shopping district) Kissa Lyon de Morning(Cafe Lyon's breakfast special) Triple Seven: Pichi Pichi Haneruze Nagoya Jou(Nagoya girls jump.) Shuto Iten Keikaku: Let's relocate the national capital to Nagoya.
Honoka: Nagoya is our everything. We have not idol's aura, but provincial's aura.
Yuzuki: So fans feel an affinity with us.
Nao; When I meet other idols, my heart throbs.(Other idols have idol's aura.)
They released "Ii Kurashi" in May and won the second prize in Oricon's weekly result. Dance music called an "Acid house" was very popular in the 80's. Ii Kurashi has many the characteristics of acid house. Koide Yusuke(Base Ball Bear) greatly admired this song.
Spoiler:
Hyadain×Koide Yusuke Koide Yusuke:I must admit this song as a best song in the first half of the year.
Syachihoko belongs to a label called "unBORDE(Warner Music Japan)". Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, RIP SLYME and Gesu no Kiwami Otome also belong to unBORDE.
Nakamura(Chief producer of Warner Music Japan): The music genre is not important for us. We are the labels which a singer with strong personality belongs to. The experts of the club music in unBORDE are in charge of Syachihoko. Syachihoko's seniors are Momoiro Clover Z(Stardust) and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu(unBORDE). Actually, Syachihoko has the concept of taking in their elements. But, we don't intend to copy Momoclo.
What kind of challenge did you try in this album?
Honoka: I have my typical way of slowly speaking. "I don't care" was more difficult than I expected.
Nao: "colors" has voice range greater than other songs. It was difficult for me to regulate an musical pitch but I did my best.
Yuzu: We challenged vocal percussion.
Yuzuki: We sang country song. The song's atmosphere was totally different from usual.
Haruna: We sang in chorus for the first time from the beginning to the last.(Akeboshi)
Chiyuri: We sang a pretty idol song for the first time.(Yoroshiku Jinrui)
^ Yuzuki's head thing fell off again during Dakishimete Anthem XD
For some reason the line sung by Yuzuki at 1:49 [前進全霊つづけていくんだ / Zenshin Zenrei Tsuzukete Ikun da] has been stuck in my head since the first time i heard Otome Juken Senso, my favorite Syachi song.
