继ATARASHII GAKKO!于今年9月释出了令人头晕目眩的高能单曲《Pineapple Kryptonite》之后，这支日本四人女子团体带着她们在88rising厂牌下的第一张EP《SNACKTIME》回归。与《Pineapple Kryptonite》一样，这张 EP 由传奇制作人 Money Mark 制作。Money Mark以与 Beastie Boys 和其他标志性音乐家的合作而闻名。 　　这张EP探索了各种不同风格的音乐流派，并且通过自由奔放的朋克歌曲《Free Your Mind》、高强节奏的洗脑舞曲《CANDY》、略显古怪带有意大利式迪斯科曲调的《Fantasico》以及创作灵感来源于Jackson 5的《Happy Hormones》等曲目来展现这支女子团体在音乐创作上多元化的一面。Money Mark担任她们的导师和教练，这也使得ATARASHII GAKKO！学会了如何掌控自己的创作成果和艺术命运。《SNACKTIME》 EP 讲述一个关于积聚能量和不断进化的故事，同时，也会向全球听众证明， ATARASHII GAKKO！是一股不可忽视的才华横溢的力量。 　　关于ATARASHII GAKKO! 　　ATARASHII GAKKO!是日本青春一代的代表，她们接纳各种自我的表达，不断地挑战传统的边界。这支风格独特的四人团体，由可爱同时又兼具力量的Mizyu、狂野的Suzuka、优雅的Kanon和时髦俏皮的Rin组成。她们将朋克的能量与流行、摇滚、爵士、嘻哈等元素融合于音乐中，并兼之经典的演出形式与前卫的舞蹈风格，自导自演，形成了独特的演出风格。 　　ATARASHII GAKKO!在2018年的《Maenarawanai》和2019年的《Wakage Gaitaru》这两张专辑中，将各种音乐表现流派融合在一起，形成了令人眼花缭乱的流行歌曲的作品。他们的歌词讲述着青少年的经历。从被分配到教室的新座位，到陷入三角恋，再到只是拖延，这些元素构成了充满青春活力的每个瞬间。 　　ATARASHII GAKKO!在2020年底加入88rising，她们携带着青春的能量，向顺从的世界展现出反抗的一面。 　　Fresh off the release of their head-turning, high-energy single “Pineapple Kryptonite” in September, the four-piece Japanese girl group ATARASHII GAKKO! is back with their first EP under the 88rising label, “SNACKTIME.” Like “Pineapple Kryptonite,” the EP is produced by legendary producer Money Mark, who is known for his works with the Beastie Boys and other iconic musicians. 　　The EP explores a variety of musical genres and demonstrates the group’s versatility through songs like the free-spirited punk anthem “Free Your Mind,” the instant dancefloor earworm “CANDY,” the eccentric Italo-disco tune “Fantasico,” and the Jackson 5-inspired “Happy Hormones.” With Money Mark acting as their mentor and coach, ATARASHII GAKKO! learned how to take control of their creative output and artistic destiny. The “SNACKTIME” EP is testimony to this as it is a story of empowerment and evolution while alerting the global audience that ATARASHII GAKKO! is an immensely talented force to be reckoned with. 　　About ATARASHII GAKKO! 　　Whirlwind group ATARASHII GAKKO! represents a new generation of Japanese youth (seishun in their native language), one embracing personal expression and pushing against traditional boundaries a little at a time. The outlandish quartet — comprised of kawaii-but-fierce Mizyu, wildcard Suzuka, graceful Kanon, and funky Rin — break genre walls to create music mixing elements of pop, jazz, hip-hop, rock, and more, delivered with punk energy and featuring frantic dance moves, choreographed by the four members themselves. 　　ATARASHII GAKKO! have brought a wide range of genres together into dizzying pop songs over the course of two full-length albums — 2018’s Maenarawanai and 2019’s Wakage Gaitaru. Their lyrics transform teenage experiences running from being assigned a new seat in class to being caught in a love triangle to simply procrastinating into supercharged snapshots of youth. 　　ATARASHII GAKKO! joined 88rising in late 2020 to bring their resistance against conformity to the world, fueled entirely by the power of youth.
