Yui Ogura reveals contents and jacket photo of her 3rd album! MV of the lead song is also available!

Yui Ogura has released a music video for "Apple Girl," the lead song from her third album "Hop Step Apple," which will be released on February 20.

The third album "Hop Step Apple" will include 13 songs in total, including the singles "White Flower" and "Eien Shonen," "Brand-New-Road," which will be released on CD for the first time, and nine new songs including the lead song "Apple Girl. Among them, the 12th song, "Peanuts! is a remarkable song with lyrics written by Yui Ogura and composed by Shunryu, who is involved in many of Ogura's songs.
The title of the album, "Hop Step Apple," is said to express the desire to step up further, like a triple jump (hop, step, and jump), and to create a work that is sweet and sour and sometimes has a touch of forbidden fruit's adult-like quality.
The third album "Hop Step Apple" will be released in three formats: CD + Blu-ray disc, CD + DVD disc, and standard disc. All the initial productions will include an extra card of "Yuica", each of which will have a different picture for each of the three formats.

In the music video released this time, Ms. Ogura appears dressed up in two different outfits: one is a glamorous modern outfit that evokes the "Apple" of the title, and the other is a simple white dress that evokes some nostalgia. The two idols represent both the modern and Showa eras in their costumes, creating a fresh and timeless collaboration that can be enjoyed.

The jacket photo released at the same time also features a lovely red and green color scheme, reminiscent of the color "apple.

A LIVE CAFE "Yui Ogura LIVE CAFE ~Berry! Cherry!!!" where you can enjoy a meal while watching the originally edited live video on a large screen monitor will also be held. Apple! ～will be open at AREA-Q in Harajuku from January 18 to February 3.

In addition, the title of the national tour starting in April will be "Yui Ogura LIVE TOUR 2019 'Step Apple'". It was also decided that Yui Ogura's first trading card, "Yuica Moshi Ogura Yui ga Card ni Natta Naratta" will be released on March 14 (Thu).
