lets talk about an idol group that japanese society fears, atarashii gakko!


Key Points:

  1. Empowering Authenticity: Atarashii Gakko! promotes the idea that everyone has something unique to offer, countering Japan’s conformity culture. This message resonates deeply in a society that often values uniformity over individuality.
  2. Friendship Over Fame: The group’s foundation on genuine friendship results in natural interactions, creating a refreshing dynamic that contrasts with corporate idol groups focused solely on image and success.
  3. Unconventional Themes: Their music explores quirky topics, from ghost stories to alien battles, which fosters creativity and innovation—qualities that Japan has seen diminish in recent years.
  4. Cultural Commentary: Their lyrics often reflect the need for change in Japanese society, addressing complacency and encouraging youth to embrace their creativity rather than conforming to societal expectations.
  5. Global Reach: With their signing to 88rising, Atarashii Gakko! is expanding their influence beyond Japan, showcasing their unique brand of music at international events like Coachella.
  6. Relatable Content: Their unfiltered vlogs depict a fun and chaotic side of their lives, making them relatable and endearing to fans, while also breaking the mold of typical idol behavior.
  7. Challenging Industry Norms: Atarashii Gakko! embodies a shift in the idol industry, advocating for freedom and self-expression, thus redefining what it means to be a successful idol group in Japan today.
