ANGERME 'One by One, One after Another' (Promotion Edit)

Message songs themed around encounters, farewells, and change resonate deeply with listeners.

Released in April 2016 as one track of a triple A-side single, this piece uses the themes of member graduations and additions in ANGERME as its motif, offering the courage to embrace the many partings and changes that fill everyday life in a positive light.

It’s a fast-paced dance number that fuses electronic sounds with funk rhythms, and it’s a staple that always gets the crowd fired up together at live shows.

It’s also a meaningful work as it became the final single for then-member Meimi Tamura in 2016, and its innovative music video, which made extensive use of a 360-degree camera, drew significant attention.

Highly recommended for those about to take a new step forward or anyone who wants to keep moving ahead without fearing change.
