Performing 'Atsui' during Hinafes <- my fav from them so far

Beyooooonds looks really promising so far! It’s formed from a lot of the strongest hello! Project trainees. My personal favorite is Momohime but I feel like at least half of them are ace material.

Megane no Otoko no Ko is so~ fun and lovely!

 

A very impressive debut for Beyoooonds! First day sales were 80,000 copies!! Wow!

 

https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2142200/full/

Report from Oricon websites. Beyooooonds rank at number 1 with 100K sales. First H!P group other than MM to get 100K sales (I mean for current H!P).. I thought Tsubaki Factory's debut was solid but Beyooooonds go went 'beyond' them

TIF appearance

The music accidentally stopped suddenly during DNA song. Instead of panicking the girls continue singing with no music. Very professional.

 

I swear I'm actually addicted to these girls. Their debut honestly shocked me with how amazing it was; I'm glad it was such a success.

MV for "Atsui!" from their first album
It's low budget, but it looks like they're heavily channeling 80's rock bands almost to a T. lol it's a really fun MV

 

It's also a heck of a song, when the single came out I was chatting with friends about wishing for this one to get an MV… and then again same thing when the album was announced we got our wish now.

 

someone compiled the references in Atsui MV.
