Likely meaning "scary" as in, directly opposing how the societal views are. They are, challenging the norm, so maybe it's scary in that way. Being "uniform", and not standing out is at the very core of the society. Wearing uniforms, children having the same backpacks to not stand out, to be "different", differentiated, from the majority. Ever heard of the stigmatism people face for having colored hair, or tattoo's? I am not sure how it has changed since I've heard of these things, but that ideology of being uniform with the majority, to not be different, is rooted very deeply in Japanese culture, it's everywhere.
It's not the Japanese schoolgirls dancing in the streets in themselves. New Yorkers are used to seeing film crews, so they know their job is to walk through and pretend the cameras aren't there.
You should do a video on how the boarders between kpop and jpop have been falling within the last 10 years, and the influences each have had on each other
Fun fact there was an american hip hop group called leaders of the new school (busta rhymes was in it actually) so this would be the second time a group called leaders of the new school shook some stuff up
Great vid. AG are unlike anything before. I love their punk rock vibe, and the fact they bring joy wherever they appear. These ladies are just what the world needs right now.
For me, their jazz influenced first 2 albums with Victor Records is peak Atarashii Gakko. Their songs and choreography there are unhinged and crazier compare to their recent outputs.
it's more like they (the management) want something easier to accept than those 2 albums. the first 2 albums only get better sales after otonablue blow up, and mostly from people outside japan.
excuse me. "atarashii gakko was born when they met in high school".. please revise that. this group was formed in 2015. mizyu 1998, rin & suzuka 2001, kanon 2002. that time only mizyu was in highschool. :) also, although they don't mind to be called as "idol". they don't consider themselves as "idol". the source is from this old interview th-cam.com/video/AbKKCyapF7Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MWMs_Xqxqv7pxToz watch start at 4:58.
yes, they don't want to be called idol, they prefer to call themself 'vocal and dance unit'. something that actually translates to 'idol group' without specifically called idol group. they follow different marketing structure compared to standard mainstream idol group though.
One of the most amazing thing about Atarashii Gakko is how EFFECTIVELY their energy transfer into you! Their performance and cheerful, yet crazy and energetic personas are HIGHLY contagious!! Just watching them makes my day (and I'm pretty sure a lot of their fans) happy!!! This is just the beginning of AG world domination!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I always felt a bit mad, when I heard about japanese anti-individualistic, stagnating culture. Such a bright country plagued with ironing it's citizens into a faceless mass. I know that each culture is unique and I shouldn't suggest anything to a society that I don't understand, but I'm glad that there is a healthy counter-movement that these awesome girls represent!
My 60 year old father found them around the time he found Chai and Hanabie, hes gonna go see them in San Francisco this month 😂 he actually introduced them to me We've already seen Chai twice before they broke up. Context: my old man loves music, and is a musician so its not THAT random.. but pretty random lol
This video is weird. Nobody is scared of this group. They are not even that far away from the "norm" of pop groups here in Japan. Such groups have long found success in concepts that paint them as going against the norms of society as a form of counterculture - extremely popular with both otaku and young people.
They've all graduated HS. Full time entertainers now. Also, the details of their beginnings are somewhat unknown, I'm pretty sure it was just Asobi System and their manager OTA putting them together after auditions, or just noting them in their earlier activities, just like other idol groups of that age. They didn't "self-form". Rin and Kanon had been in various dance activities, Mizyu had been a backup dancer for KPP and Suzuka had already done some vocal and dance stuff.
So they formed a band together while attending high school and blew up in the midst of it. Finish school but still using the high school girl swag? Am i getting this right?
japanese people dont see this group as scary, they have overwhelming positive reviews and first impressions from japanese people due to their unique wholesome and friendly energy, i have no idea where you got that impression from. "scary" is the furthest possible description of this group.
they have such a unique vibe.unlike other idol groups where the idols are just pretty and sexy,this group is like that one weird friend group but they're so easy to vibe with and i love it,they genuinely want to change the japanese society and im here to support them
You make it sound like the Japanese see Atarashii Gakko as a conspiracy to change Japan, it couldn't be more far from the truth. Where you get scary is beyond me. Babymetal doesn't confirm to Japanese society yet, they too have a World of followers followers. AG is an awesome group. You're looking too deeply into the meaning when you should just chill and enjoy the music.
nah, babymetals of today has became more corporated, being just 'an idol group with metal gimmick' rather than conspiracy, AG! is a response from the younger generation about the stagnation of japanese society post economic bubble.
Foreigners always do this. They think all of Japan is this docile timid society when that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Japanese are polite not nice. Sayaka acts like your average Osaka native.
yea, although I love AG they are nowhere near close to being scary, intimidating or breaking norms. they are just slightly more unique in their style. artists like midori would probably fit that description better.
let the man theorize and tell their look on the music. that’s the beauty of music. some people will see is as a piece to vibe to, and others see it as a deeper message
Cool video, I love Atarashii Gakko! Atarashii Gakko is officially a dance/vocal unit and dance performance unit, they make all their choreographies, contribute to their songs, write a lot of their own lyrics and collaborate with many artists and bands for the creation of their productions which allows them to have a very diverse sound. AG aren't technically an idol group but they play in the codes of idol culture. Also a cool thing about them is how each member is unique and is actually talented, like Suzuka's amazing charisma and personality and her drawing hobby, Rin's hip hop background and urban dance style and the fact she is also a DJ. They aren't trying to paint a fabricated image of themselves, they just show it how it is which is not only rare in celebrities nowadays but rare to see in the internet in general. Also unrelated point but, I can see you confuse idol groups and actual bands from when you mentioned "band boom" of the 1990s and then associated it with the idol culture of Japan, and then in the video compared Sakanaction (an actual band of musicians) to arashi (an idol group) when these two are 2 entirely different media categories in Japan, idols are not seen as musicians in Japan, idols are mainly and above everything else a group of entertainers working for a business, the entire business model and creative direction is led by the company, examples would be any group made under the "Johnny & Associates" company or stuff like AKB48. While bands are actual groups formed by musicians who know each other like any japanese rock/jazz/metal bands In term of the japanese music industry, singer-songwriters and bands are the more prevalent form of musical acts you'll find, rock bands are everywhere and are all formed by musicians often starting their activity while the members are either in college or high school, and the musicians that don't form rock bands generally go the singer-songwriter route and lately a lot of them start that as Vocaloid producers. AG don't technically fall in either, they are formed by a group of friends, have all the creative freedom, contribute to their sound and songs but aren't the actual musicians playing their instruments on stage, many other groups falling under what fans call "alternative idol" genre are also following the same direction which is great
They are the free-est Japanese "idol" group because they are not bound by the "cute" Japanese idol culture. And they still become popular and still rising.
I am a 55 year old music lover, and AG is my very favourite group. I have been listening to and meditating on their music daily for years. The more I learn about them and their philosophy, the more I realize how many of their songs carry a deeper message of joy, gratitude, love, kindness, awe, wonder, and other positive emotions. I believe Pineapple Kryptonite for example is about how sweetness (represented by pineapple) can overcome negativity (represented by the monster) just like Kryptonite overwhelming Superman. That in Zero Pressure Suits, the suit represents a state of mind in which you don’t let negativity drag you down, and challenges roll off you like water on hydrophobic fabric, and if you do get a stain on your suit (something drags you down), you can always wash your suit, which represents forgiveness and redemption. All of their songs have these double meanings of fierce positivity, boundless freedom, the joy of pure creativity, and eternal love. They are so much more than they seem on the surface. They are much more than a band. A deep and endlessly positive transformative philosophy runs through everything they do. In my life I aspire to embody what Atarashii Gakko stands for. They inspire me on a daily basis more than any religious philosophy ever has.
Atarashi Gakko is far from the scariest and most unhinged idols in Japan. Anyone who says this as legit and not in tongue in cheek manner is either new or hasn't explored enough of the idol scene there.
actually baby metal is just another idol group, with 'metal music' and 'metal fox god' as their main gimmick. actually the original formation of 'ladybaby' are more out of norm. on the other hand, AG! are considered 'unhinged girl group'
@@JS-oi5jt but hanabie is just another metal band. OK, kidding aside, hanabie is not idol group or 'girlband' in that sense. idol group such as boyband/girlband never plays their own instrument, they do sing and dance.
Recommendations brought me here and this my 1st video I’m watching from your channel and it’s my current bias:ATARASHII GAKKO! Great video! Look up their cover of BEASTIE BOYS INTERGALACTIC! ITS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
absolutely great and charismatic. but it's a trend since many years already. pop music in japan indeed has a number of artists that are very bold and unique. mostly it's young women, who seek self-expression and they are telling their stories. try REIRiE, or AiNA the ENDo, or Gacharic Spin.
The long (relatively speaking) skirts with the uniforms were very popular with the "delinquent" girl gang movement from post war into the 1970s. There's a lot you can hide in a long skirt.
They didn't met at highschool at all, it's just a story... for example, Mizyu used to be a dancer for Kyarypappa... they were not at the same school at all.
I found them from Captain Disillusion! I haven't really listened to any of their work outside that video but I should definitely check out more of their music
being unhinged is not something you brag about! the US having gone this path before is a testament for this. being unhinged is despised universally and shows the fall of a society. Japanese people's fear of such phenomena is 100% legit
It’s a bit interesting to me, they are almost like a combination of American culture and Japanese culture if that makes sense? A good similarity would be something like the persona games only in personality which is really cool to me!
I think you got it slightly wrong they supposed be like old gangster girls in 70-80s.. you should look it up “Sukeban” that’s where they got the idea or concept remember this band that started in experimental era like babymetal…
Two more groups to look at are SCANDAL and BAND MAID. Scandal first meet in school as well, check out music video for "Shoujo S" (it was used as one of the openings for the anime "Bleach").
found their music last year and enjoyed it a lot. now after watching their video and learning what they stand for i love them even more! great video! easy sub! 🔥
@Anormie great video! You should really make a video about Momoclo ももいろクローバーZ They are no way "punky" as Atarashii Gakko...but Momoiro Clover Z, as a group, have a interesting history, a deeply rooted fanbase and has strong links to the type of content on your channel.
I like that their name literally means "New School". They are a different breed that deviates from what you usually expect from an idol group.
@Mura....I thought their Name Atarashii Gakko means means No Leaders
new school leaders

somewhat clickbait ig
"Japan's scariest" so for Japanese society not for us literally...
Likely meaning "scary" as in, directly opposing how the societal views are. They are, challenging the norm, so maybe it's scary in that way. Being "uniform", and not standing out is at the very core of the society. Wearing uniforms, children having the same backpacks to not stand out, to be "different", differentiated, from the majority.

I love the clips of them in NYC. People just walk past in the background like they see Japanese schoolgirls dancing in the street on the regular.
I mean, nyc's just like that. People doing random things and everyone being phased out from all the random
It's not the Japanese schoolgirls dancing in the streets in themselves. New Yorkers are used to seeing film crews, so they know their job is to walk through and pretend the cameras aren't there.
That's just nyc cuz. All normal goes out the window.
can't react to every random guy dancing on the street

Great video, Atarashi Gakko and Ado are artists that continue to break boundaries
THIS YESS>>>>
Babymetal and Pikarin Shiina too! Don’t forget about them
@@YourJapanic true, im just not well versed in either groups
@@DrOctavius99 it’s ok lol
(Also pikarin is a soloist fyi)
ADO MENTIONED !!!
even the pro commedians who are mc's of their talk show got dumbfonded ans stunned when they start their formation greeting
1. They are not idols
2. They are not scary
I think scary was meant as in : Japanese people are scared cuz they break the norm.
You should do a video on how the boarders between kpop and jpop have been falling within the last 10 years, and the influences each have had on each other

agreed. Tokyo Calling is a repetitive boring song. Otonablue is the best.
Yeah, their wild jazzy songs were more interesting. Perhaps I'm just not too fond of the hip hop influence 88Rising brought into their sound
That's definitely the very best era. Now 88Rising just tries to appeal to the Kpop/TikTok masses.
They're also getting older. They can't be bouncing across the stage like they're 15 anymore.

personally I don't find them scary but I can see how they could be seen that way.
I think they're wonderful
Love this group :) Saw their Tokyo calling video. They are awesome
I love them so much. They are so contrasting to the usual j-idol world. Their energy is so awesome
Kansai is like the Southern America equivalent in Japan 😂🤣😂🤣
osaka loves to be social? sounds like america left a bigger impact than i thought!
Rin was born on 9/11 exactly. Not really all that important, but it's quite an odd fact.
i don't think this band is scary.. i think it's funny.. their music is so unhinged, and their music video is even crazier lol
i love them sm
To me, they give off “Hey, hey we’re the Monkeys!!” vibes. Another pre Fab Four group.
My idols are Tachibana SHS Band. Love them and they are so humble and mature.
I loved their PSA's back in the day. Yeah they are awesome, Pineapple!
They're great 😊

Two more groups to look at are SCANDAL and BAND MAID. Scandal first meet in school as well, check out music video for "Shoujo S" (it was used as one of the openings for the anime "Bleach").
They're the best 😂
what scary about them? is just a simp video I thought I was going to see some gangsta shit
They remind me of my childhood when I was in Philippines my friends where lile this
found their music last year and enjoyed it a lot. now after watching their video and learning what they stand for i love them even more! great video! easy sub! 🔥
@Anormie great video! You should really make a video about Momoclo ももいろクローバーZ
They are no way "punky" as Atarashii Gakko...but Momoiro Clover Z, as a group, have a interesting history, a deeply rooted fanbase and has strong links to the type of content on your channel.
