[2019.08.07] BEYOOOOONDS - Megane no Otoko no Ko/Nippon no D.N.A!/Go Waist

I’m surprised they never had an indies single.

[Solarblade]

I'm going to take a guess that the single just might be "Megane no Otoko no Ko / Bunkasai Jikkou Iinchou no Koi / Atsui!" since they are the only BEYOOOOONDS songs out there
 
Also, Regular editions come with an additional track depending which one you get (which probably means these will be CHICA#TETSU, Ame no Mori Kawa Umi, and whatever Hirai, Satoyoshi, and Kobayashi are).

[momoirosaya]

No I bet they’ll get a new song or 2, otherwise why not announce the titles now? They might put those tracks on as B-sides on a Reg edition.

[TheParuProject]

I'm thinking the same thing. When Country Girls announced Boogie Woogie LOVE as a triple A-side single, I remember thinking Mousou Rehearsal and Kiss Yori Saki ni Dekiru Koto would be the other two A-sides. Lo and behold, they instead announced 2 as-of-yet unheard songs.


It definitely would make sense to release Bunkasai with Megane, though. Maybe they'll all sit pretty together in BEYOOOOONDS' eventual album.

Announced at Yuka's graduation

The single's title is now "Megane no Otoko no Ko / Nippon no D・N・A! / Go Waist" (眼鏡の男の子 /ニッポンのD・N・A! / Go Waist)


Regular A comes with "GIRL ZONE"

Regular B comes with "Bunkasai Jikkou Iinchou no Koi"

Regular C comes with "Toei Oedo-sen no Roppongi Eki de Dakishimete"

[Anderei]

lol those are some weird titles.

[TheParuProject]

Perhaps "Go Waist" is a reference to "go west, young man"? Curious to hear these songs lol. Also super happy that we're getting studio versions of ALMOST every song so far. I was secretly hoping for a studio recording of U.S.A. though.

[TicTacAnyone]

Chica#Tetsu's song is really, really, good.... Totally up my alley. And Megane no Otoko no ko is good, too. But the others (Atsui and GIRL ZONE) were hard misses in my book.
 
edited to add the two dislike songs I've heard--haven't heard the other songs that aren't released yet /oops

[Shoujo Q]

Go Waist has been confirmed to be a parody cover of Go West from The Village People but with a weight loss/exercise theme.

[Zange]

Covers are out.
 
...good LORD Regular C...
 
Regular A looks shojo as hell though and I love it.

[DonJuan]

Not gonna lie, this looks super interesting to me. Looking forward to their Go West cover. They've performed it at events, but there hasn't been a recording yet, I think. Then again it's going to be released in exactly a month, they'll probably show us the MVs for the next few H!S episodes.

[Shoujo Q]

I’m really looking forward to the Megane MV. I have visions of what should be like in my head and I hope it doesn’t disappoint.

[Shoujo Q]

Short radio preview of Nippon no D.N.A! (They also performed this at the H!P concert)


You can hear the U.S.A influence in this song with the D.N.A chant. 

[Farrah]

Maybe it's just me but I feel like they've been dragging the debut of this group out wayyyyyy too long.  They already feel like old news in light of all the new girls that have recently been added to the other groups, lol.  I hope I can enjoy this but I think it'll be impossible to live up to my anticipation after all this time.

[Shoujo Q]

They did the same thing with Tsubaki Factory but with them they had indie singles. Beyooooonds never got that treatment. I honestly think after the whole Kobushi meltdown they are changing the way they debut the groups.

[Shoujo Q]

Beyooooond's Youtube page is now live.
Their first video is a message introducing themselves and to announce a TV campaign.
 
Their three music videos will be released today, July 16th at 8AM Eastern/9PM Japan time. The one with the most views by July 25th is going to get a TV commercial spot.

 
I'm going to add a poll to this thread and see if our favorite makes it to the commercial spot. 
 
Edit: They are up!
 

• Megane no Otoko no Ko
• Nippon no D・N・A!
• Go Waist

 
They are all so great. I don't know which one I like better! 


Megane is exactly how I thought it would play out with the manga theme, Nippon no DNA is better than I expected it to be, and Go Waist is hysterical. I love they kept it in the old tv ratio instead of the standard wide screen we have now.

Wow, UFA aren't playing for this debut. This is awesome!

[Elpis]

I’m really impressed with all of them. I’ve really only listened to Megane Otokonoko prior to now and it was cool to see the others. I really don’t know if I have a favorite. They did Megane Otoko no ko some justice, DNA was a really fun song too. And Go Waist was weird but hilarious and a pretty good cover especially since it was a parody.


I’m hoping the UFP will keep it up with them. They really don’t feel like a new group and feel far more polished and like they’ve been around for a few years already as a fully debuted group

[Noa]

I liked these a lot, will they revive my dying love for H!P? Stay tuned! Also who is the girl that starts Megane? She’s easily my favorite.

[Zange]

Oh man, those were all so good I don't think I can easily pick a favorite! I think I have to go with Megane no Otoko no Ko though just because I am a sucker for shojo anime/manga, haha.

[Shoujo Q]

First time viewers or for people that just haven't paid attention to BEYOOOOONDS until this moment. The Megane MV really helps the girls stand out with their different sets of outfits.

[TheParuProject]

I'm obsessed. They put so much into this debut! The PVs are great, the music is great. I'm happy that the ONLY YOU girls got more of a feature in a song too, since they've pretty much been non-factors in everything that came before this.

[JPope]

lol at all of the gratuitous Da Pump references.
 
Of the three songs, DNA is the one that comes closest to hitting the mark for me, but I wish the chorus was better. Megane is cute, but I really wish that H!P would retire the Dubstep breaks.

[Madara]

Can someone tell me what the message of "Nippon no DNA" is? Is it pro-conformity or anti-conformity? Or somewhere in between?

I don't think it takes a stance, it's simply making an observation. The message of the song is having pride in the things that make you Japanese. (IMO)

That's what I get from it, too. 

[TheParuProject]

I'm pleasantly surprised I haven't seen any "Go Waist is fat shaming!" opinions so far, because I was really expecting to see it.

[DonJuan]

I actually have seen tweets saying that it was "fun, but problematic". But well. at least it's not on the same level as the whole Accha Accha stuff.
 
That being said, I'm ready for Saya's bootcamp.

Just what I need!
