Anime Japan 2019] First performance of new song "Diamond Smile" by Run Girls, Run! Report on the mini live and handover event of Run Girls, Run!

On Sunday, March 24, 2019, "Run Girls, Run!" held a mini live and handover event at the avex pictures booth in Anime Japan 2019.

(hereinafter referred to as "Run Girls, Run!"), a voice actress unit, participated in Anime Japan for the second time in a year, following last year's event. Koko Hayashi, Yuka Morishima, and Nanami Atsugi appeared on stage in high spirits, wearing new white costumes with diamond designs on the skirts, and sang "Break the Blue! while flipping their new white outfits with diamond designs on the skirts! They started their live performance to the cheers of many fans.

The number of fans who came to the venue was surprisingly large! I guessed there were twice as many fans as last year's audience. Perhaps because of the enthusiasm of the audience, Hayashi's provocative vocals, which stirred up the floor, were very impressive. The fans cheered loudly to his singing. The aggressive performance was truly a testament to the leaps and growth the band has made over the past year.

The three members of Ranga were excited to be at Anime Japan for the second time and to see the audience more excited than they had imagined. We're here at Anime Japan! Morishima-san shouted, forgetting to introduce himself.

The next song was "Prima Donna? A pop and energetic song that was a complete change from the first song. The song was a pop and energetic one, with a bubbling smile and a choreography that went back and forth between energetic and graceful, which was really cute. During the interlude, the members looked at each fan's face, smiled, and waved their hands.

After the song, Atsugi said, "It was fun! Thank you for returning the titles and calls! He showed a dazzling smile.

On March 28, "Girly Air Force," in which Morishima plays the role of Gripen, will be the final episode, so the three introduced the work once again. I hope you will watch it," said Morishima, appealing to the audience.

The last song of the live was already performed. The song will be aired as the theme song of "Kiratto Pri☆Chan" starting in April, and was performed for the first time on stage at Anime Japan 2019. The audience's voltage soared at this!

It was revealed that the new costume was actually the "Diamond Smile" costume. The "cute but slightly more mature jacket" was a feature of the new costume, which featured diamond designs all over the outfit.

Hayashi recalls how difficult it was to record the song in such a glittering costume. Morishima also said that she received "intense and passionate instruction from the director.

The song "Diamond Smile" opened with a sparkling smile. The song has a powerful pop-rock band sound with guitars beating a gutsy beat.

Ranga's dance moves are cool with a cute, girlish side, and the song is filled to overflowing with the charm of the three members.

The most impressive aspect of the song, however, is the vocals. As the singers themselves say, it was a difficult recording process, and the tempo is fast, and there are many places where they have to stretch their voices, making the song melodies sound as if they are running at full speed from beginning to end.

However, the sight of Ranga running through the song, shaking his voice, dancing, and smiling at his fans until the very end was "emo" in the best sense of the word!

Perhaps the new song "Diamond Smile" is a challenge from the production team to Ranga. At the same time, I am sure that the three of them will sing this song and grow even more. For Ranga, the second year of Anime Japan was a stage that foreshadowed their past trajectory as well as their future leaps forward.
