ATARASHII GAKKO! in Bangkok: tickets, date, and all the info

When it comes to J-pop girl groups, many think of teenagers in brightly-coloured clothes dancing with cute choreographed moves and big smiles throughout. They’re not wrong at all. The biggest girl groups that hit the mainstream both inside and outside of Japan have been presenting images fit for an idol group with their own spin — AKB48, Momoiro Clover Z, and even BABYMETAL to an extent.

ATARASHII GAKKO! sets out to do something different: to be a J-pop girl group that doesn’t conform with the cutesy norm of being an idol group. Members Mizyu, Rin, Suzuka, and Kanon, with their signature vintage school girl outfits, incorporated many musical genres into their songs, strived to be candid in their interviews, and showcased slapstick humour in their videos. As a result, we have fun and inventive songs with a cult following, possibly the only idol group in Japan with genres of J-pop and jazz on their page, and a story they revealed in an interview of how the members met at a supermarket discount aisle.

“In a time when only exemplar citizens are acknowledged, we strive to defy a narrow-minded society by embracing individuality and freedom,” they said in an interview.
