It has been announced that idol group Morning Musume '24 will be appearing on THE FIRST TAKE, a popular YouTube channel where artists perform one-shot performances. This will be the group's first time appearing on THE FIRST TAKE, and they will be performing their hit song "Renai Revolution 21," which was released as their 11th single in 2000, in a special formation just for this one-off. The video will premiere at 10pm on November 22nd.
Member Makino Maria commented, "Since we're appearing on THE FIRST TAKE this time, we decided to use a formation for a one-off live performance. It was a lot of fun to perform in a formation and arrangement that can only be seen here."
Oda Sakura said, "Whenever we perform at places where there may be people who don't know about Morning Musume '24 or at rock festivals, we sing "Renai Revolution 21," and people who have seen Morning Musume '24 for the first time dance along with us. It's like a talisman that our predecessors made for us. We perform with the feeling that, 'We are the Morning Musume of today! We are the real thing!'" Morning Musume was formed in 1997 by five people who were unsuccessful in the audition project "Sharan Q Female Rock Vocalist Audition" on "ASAYAN" (TV Tokyo). On the September 14th broadcast of "ASAYAN" that same year, a period was added to "Morning Musume," and the group was born. The group name expresses "a lot of things come with it, it's packed, it's a good deal, and it's easy to get along with." Since its formation, members have joined and graduated repeatedly, and the group is currently active with 13 members led by Ikuta Erina. Starting from January 1, 2014, the year will be added to the end of the artist name. Sub-leader Ishida Ayumi will graduate from the group and Hello! Project with the final performance of the fall tour, which will be held at Yokohama Arena (Kohoku-ku, Yokohama) on December 6th.
