Universal Music LLC (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takashi Fujikura / Universal Music) has announced the release of Chotonkyukyu’s 21st single “AwA AwA” (pronounced: Awaawa). To commemorate the release, the POP-UP STORE “Super Express
Formed in 2011. Chotonkyuu is a nine-member group that performs songs based on dance music and formation dance.
To commemorate the release of the first single “AwA AwA” after joining forces with Universal Music (posting a promotional agreement), UNIVERSAL will be held at Takeshita Street in Harajuku, Tokyo from November 6th (Wednesday) to November 17th (Sunday). We will be holding a POP-UP STORE “Super Express Harajuku Takeshita Dori Station” at MUSIC STORE HARAJUKU.
This store has two floors with the theme of “the waiting room of the No. 8 car”, and on the first floor there will be a costume display, a photo spot, a message board about the “station”, and videos that can only be seen here. The third floor is a floor inspired by the world of the new song “AwA AwA”, and the souvenir shop will also sell original products exclusive to this station. We have a limited number of reservations available for admission, and we also have an original shopper and a dice game where you can win a gift if you roll a total of 8.
The 21st single “AwA AwA” is a song that sends encouragement to everyone who takes on the challenge. It is a positive song unique to Super Express, about overcoming the impossible game called life that everyone is trying to overcome together. The music was produced by MEG.ME, Louis, and Sota Hanamura of Da-iCE, who have worked on many Chotokukyu songs, and the choreographer was NOPPO of s**t kingz. A solo album will also be released, which will be the group’s first attempt.
To commemorate the release, we are planning to hold a special event at Makuhari Messe on November 9th (Saturday) and at Kyoto Pulse Plaza on November 10th (Sunday), where you can have real communication with the members of Chotokukyuu.
