The actions, facial expressions, and everything about the three of them is fascinating! Run Girls, Run!" Stage Report from "About the Position, Yoi! Animejapan!" stage report [Animejapan 2018].

On March 24-25, 2018, at the avex booth of AnimeJapan 2018 held at Tokyo Big Sight, the stage event "Run Girls, Run! About the position, yo! Stage" was held at the "AnimeJapan!


Run Girls, Run!" was selected from approximately 2,000 candidates in the "avex×81produce Wake Up, Girls! AUDITION: The 3rd Animation Song Vocal Audition" and was created as a unit following the first "i☆Ris" and second "Wake Up, Girls! The three members are Koko Hayashi, Yuka Morishima, and Nanami Atsugi.

They appeared in the TV anime "Wake Up, Girls! New Chapter" broadcast from October 2017 as members of Run Girls, Run!, a rookie unit of the same name as the real one that admires WUG, as well as the OP theme "Slide Ride" of the TV anime "Death March Kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku". She also made her major single debut as an artist in the TV anime "Death March Kara Hajimari Isekai Kyousoukyoku".

At this year's AnimeJapan, the TV anime "Kiratto Pri☆Chan," which will start in April 2018, attracted a lot of attention as the OP theme "Kiratto Start" will be performed by Run Girls, Run!

The three girls appeared on stage and shouted "Ichigoe ni yoroidon! The three girls greeted each other with "Konmochiwa (-ө-)" (Yuka Morishima = Mocchi), "Ko konnichiwa (Hello!) ٩٩* (Koko Hayashi) and "Gokigenyo**" (Nanami Atsugi). (hereafter referred to as Run Girls, Run!, Ranga), the venue was filled with cheers when they introduced that they would be performing the theme song "Kiratto Start" for the TV anime "Kiratto Pri☆Chan".

The highlight of the stage was the first live performance of "Kiratto Start". The energetic choreography of the song, which resembled a running race, was unique to Ranga. The light and airy choreography, which included a lot of leg lifting and step work that even gave a sense of floating, was clearly in the lineage of the predecessors of the "Pretty" series.

Hayashi's smile while playing air guitar and the way their gazes briefly crossed as they sang the lyrics to "Happy wo Tsunageteyo" (Let's connect our happiness) were so joyful and relaxed that it was hard to believe that this was their first performance. After finishing the song, the three said, "I was so thrilled to perform the song for the first time that it was unbelievable! I was so thrilled to perform for the first time! They were so happy to be on stage for the first time.

Ms. Atsugi talked about the song, "It's a song filled with girl's cuteness and sparkle! Ms. Atsugi appealed, "It's full of girl's cuteness and sparkle! Morishima talked about the music video shooting, "I ate such a big parfait! She talked about the fun of filming the music video with gestures.


The next song was "Slide Ride", the OP theme of the TV anime "Death March Kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku". The debut song of a unit from an idol work with a hard rock flavor with a unique world view was exactly Keiichi Hirokawa's style, but the large difference from "Kiratto Start" was like being hit with a punch. The way the three members of Ranga create different atmospheres in their facial expressions and solo parts is unique to the three-member group, and in particular, Hayashi's undulating falling chorus was original and unique to her.

In the announcement corner, the web radio program "Run Girls, Radio! will restart in April, and that a mini-live + handshake event to celebrate the release of "Kiratto Start" will be held at Sunshine City Fountain Plaza on Saturday, April 7, 2018.

The three members gave their final remarks, saying, "I was so happy! It was fun! and "That was so much fun! It seemed that performing "Kiratto Start" for the first time, for which they had worked so hard in preparation, was a wonderful experience for the girls.
