Pineapple Kryptonite是ATARASHI GAKKO!在她们即将发行的EP中的首支单曲。这张EP将开启一场丰富多彩的声音与影像相结合的发现之旅，在开拓新的粉丝基群的同时，不断加深与现有粉丝的联系。这是她们首度联手美国音乐制作人Money Mark（曾与Beastie Boys等合作而广受关注）。这首歌描摹了一场发生在加利福尼亚沙漠中的一场史诗般星际对抗，在那里，ATARASHII GAKKO!与吃狗的邪恶的却害怕菠萝的外星人战斗。整首歌充满了流行音乐的质感，再加之动感的舞蹈表演和爆炸的好莱坞电影特效，为其奠定了完美的基础。为了向Beastie Boys的"Sabotage"致敬，ATARASHII GAKKO!在MV中扮演一个穷苦的美国家庭来检验她们的演技。 这首歌包含了令人难忘的、充满感情的副歌旋律，以及与TikTok挑战高度契合的舞蹈动作的节奏。但除了“病毒扩散”式的挑战之外，它还为ATARASHI GAKKO!即将释出的EP奠定了整体的基调。这是她们骄傲地宣称自己根植于日本，并将自己才华带到全球的第一步。这张专辑传递出的信息是创造性、艺术性和趣味性。她们用年轻人100%的创造力和极具风格的音乐表演的感染力，邀请观众加入她们的旅程，试图让那些对流行音乐有着高级学术热情的人们有惊奇的发现。 关于ATARASHII GAKKO! ATARASHII GAKKO!是日本青春一代的代表，她们接纳各种自我的表达，不断地挑战传统的边界。这支风格独特的四人团体，由可爱同时又兼具力量的Mizyu、狂野的Suzuka、优雅的Kanon和时髦俏皮的Rin组成。她们将朋克的能量与流行、摇滚、爵士、嘻哈等元素融合于音乐中，并兼之经典的演出形式与前卫的舞蹈风格，自导自演，形成了独特的演出风格。 ATARASHII GAKKO!在2018年的《Maenarawanai》和2019年的《Wakage Gaitaru》这两张专辑中，将各种音乐表现流派融合在一起，形成了令人眼花缭乱的流行歌曲的作品。他们的歌词讲述着青少年的经历。从被分配到教室的新座位，到陷入三角恋，再到只是拖延，这些元素构成了充满青春活力的每个瞬间。 ATARASHII GAKKO!在2020年底加入88rising，她们携带着青春的能量，向顺从的世界展现出反抗的一面。 "Pineapple Kryptonite" is ATARASHII GAKKO!'s first single from their upcoming EP with the mission to set discovery opportunities for a new fan base and foster deeper connections with the existing fans by way of a colorful sonic and cinematic journey on their first American collaboration with producer Money Mark (known for his collaboration with the Beastie Boys among many others). The song, which is about an epic intergalactic confrontation in the California desert where ATARASHII GAKKO! battles a dog-eating, evil pineapple-fearing aliens is rich in texture with pop musical overtones laying the perfect foundation for the dynamic choreography and self-performed Hollywood movie stunts. Paying homage to the Beastie Boys' ""Sabotage"", ATARASHII GAKKO! tried out their acting skills by playing the distressed American family in the video. The song contains a memorable, emotionally charged English language hook and a rhythm perfectly appropriate for dance moves primed for TikTok challenges. But beyond the viral challenges, it sets the tone for the body of work to come in the EP as ATARASHII GAKKO!'s profound challenge to crossover into the global market and the first step towards proudly claiming their roots in Japan and bringing their talents to the global stage. The message carried in this release is one of creativity, artistry, and fun in the joy of creating and performing music with 100% youthful infectious enthusiasm, inviting the audience to join them in their journey and allowing for surprising discoveries for those with advanced scholarly enthusiasm in pop music. About ATARASHII GAKKO! Whirlwind group ATARASHII GAKKO! represents a new generation of Japanese youth (seishun in their native language), one embracing personal expression and pushing against traditional boundaries a little at a time. The outlandish quartet — comprised of kawaii-but-fierce Mizyu, wildcard Suzuka, graceful Kanon, and funky Rin — break genre walls to create music mixing elements of pop, jazz, hip-hop, rock, and more, delivered with punk energy and featuring frantic dance moves, choreographed by the four members themselves. ATARASHII GAKKO! have brought a wide range of genres together into dizzying pop songs over the course of two full-length albums — 2018’s Maenarawanai and 2019’s Wakage Gaitaru. Their lyrics transform teenage experiences running from being assigned a new seat in class to being caught in a love triangle to simply procrastinating into supercharged snapshots of youth. ATARASHII GAKKO! joined 88rising in late 2020 to bring their resistance against conformity to the world, fueled entirely by the power of youth.
