Yumemiru Adolescence reassures their peers that things aren’t as bad as they may seem with the encouraging MV for their 3rd major label single “Mai Jene!” (release date: January 20)! They have also revealed their new visuals as shown in the picture at the top of the article.
“Mai Jene!” , which is a pun on the phrase “My Generation” (“mai” is written with the character for dance 舞), has lyrics by Sho Okamoto (OKAMOTO’S) and was arranged by agehasprings, who previously contributed to “Shoumei Teenager“ and “Mawaru Sekai”. The rest of the members of OKAMOTO’S participated in the recording of the song as well. The choreography was handled by Papaya Suzuki (AKB48’s “Koi Suru Fortune Cookie”, “Kokoro no Placard”, “Halloween Night”) which is why it’s easy to follow along with.
The MV was directed by Smith (“Kurachu Summer”) and reflects the uncertainty of the youth by stretching the frame thin during the beginning part as Yumemiru Adolescence appear in the halls and corridors of a school. Toward the end of the song, they appear in white uniforms decorated with feathers and the frame expands to fill the entire screen, as strobe lights and yellow lasers shine brightly, representing the positive and encouraging message. Those with coulrophobia should be warned that the DJ during the dance party is a clown.
“Mai Jene!” will be released in a CD/DVD limited edition as well as 5 CD-only member solo versions and a regular version. The DVD for the limited edition version includes the making of and MV for “Mai Jene” as well as the MVs for all of the members’ solo songs: “Piyo Piyo Aka-Chamu Sando” (Akari Yamada), “OVERFLOW” (Rei Kobayashi), “Tokyo・Delicious・Rendezvous” (Karin Ogino), “Butterfly Effect” (Yuumi Shida), and “SharkGirl ’99” (Kyoka). However the solo songs are only available on the solo versions of the singles. The coupling song for the limited edition and regular versions is titled “Chiisana Story”. Yumemiru Adolescence finishes up their “#Yume-tomo Mai Tour 2015 Aki” autumn Osaka/Tokyo/Nagoya tour at Mielparque tokyo on November 15th.
