Universal Music LLC (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Takashi Fujikura / Universal Music) has announced the release of IS:SUE’s new single “Welcome Strangers ~2nd IS: SUE~” (pronounced: Welcome Strangers ~Second Issue~) will be released on Wednesday, November 13th.
IS:SUE is a four-member girl group consisting of RIN, NANO, YUUKI, and RINO that appeared in the survival audition program, the first girls version of “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS.” Their debut single “1st IS:SUE” released in June ranked first on the Oricon Weekly Singles Ranking, Billboard JAPAN Top Singles Sales, and Oricon Weekly Total Singles Ranking. The total number of followers on SNS exceeded 1 million within 3 months of debut, and it was also ranked in the next trend prediction ranking chosen by Generation Z for the first half of 2024.
The second single, the lead song “THE FLASH GIRL”, breaks down common sense and prejudice and energetically supports all people who feel like they are “Strangers” in a chaotic society. It’s a dance number to push. The song “Breaking Thru the Line”, which has a distinctive beat, explores the strength, beauty, and coolness of being “different.” Member YUUKI is trying to write rap lyrics for the first time, and YUUKI said, “It was my first time writing lyrics, and it was a wonderful experience where I learned a lot. I tried to put a message and, personally, a sense of fun into it, so I hope you’ll listen to it a lot.”
A download campaign is currently being held to commemorate the release of this work. All those who download it from iTunes, Recochoku, d Music, Music Store (au), mora, mu-mo, or Amazon Music and apply using the application form will receive “IS:SUE 2ND SINGLE” Welcome Strangers ~2nd We will be giving away a “IS:SUE~” digital booklet.
