(the thread continues in the next post...)

 

[Seriously]

Oh wow, very striking!

the group has A LOT of members so is inevitable that the post has to be divided in two

GANG PARADE's new single "Priority" is going to be released in November 16, is the group's 4th major single

it was initially teased back in July of this year but there wasn't much info other than the name, so far just looking at the uniforms this seems to be a big departure from GANG PARADE's usual concept, their uniforms always really bright and colorful, so is really interesting the went for all dark outfits this time

GANG PARADE is the "fusion" of the idols group GO TO THE BEDS and PARADISES, they got back together in January 1 of this year, the idea pay off since they are currently in an upward trajectory, in March their 2nd major single "PARADE GOES ON" sold 35k+ copies first week, their 3rd major single "SIGNAL" sold 45k+ first week, would be cool if they hit 50k+ this time

i'm looking forward to it, they look pretty cool and so far seems different from their previous releases

if you are interested in getting to know GP better they recently released an album for people that still are not 100% familiar with them, it has 66 songs and right now is the longest Japanese album out there

GANG PARADE releases "WELCOME TO GANG PARADE(DELUXE EDITION)" a 66 songs-long digital album with re recorded versions of their previous releases

normally i wouldn't think that a digital album is newsworthy but the fact that this is longer than most music compilation / collections from other musical acts is definitely something to acknowledge it includes 66 songs (track list below) these are the "13SOUL" versions, in the group's...

S- SIXTY SIX??? :Slime: I'm somewhat familiar with what was the split groups, but never really gotten around to them as a full team. Are there new faces? There are some I don't recognise at all.

and is not even a compilation album, all of them are brand new versions of their songs!

the story of GANG PARADE is all around the place, while the new GANG PARADE started in 2022 (or 2020 if you count PARADISES and GO TO THE BEDS) meanwhile the "proto" version of the group was created before BiSH even existed (so in 2014 or so) to be honest is kinda hard to explain but the WACK wiki has pretty good summary
