Gakko's first major debut could have you calling them an idol girl group but I don't know if I would quite put them in the category. The album's first two tracks are hard pop rock that might make listeners think of artists like anti idol group Bish. However, these girls defiantly take on the sound as their own self expression. These tracks are hard hitters that set the tone for an album that isn't really what you would expect if you base everything off these openers. Gakko won't let you go without feeling a sense of their wacky emotions and man.. do they have mood swings. They go from talking about hating a love that's full of lies(Suki Lie) to wanting a more mature kind of love(Otonablue). I enjoyed how their musically sound feels modern yet, old in a fashion that focuses on bouncy beats with vocal harmonies at the core of the music. This album has some great moments that you catch, the more times you listen.
Atarashii Gakko! has one main vocalist and the other girls feel like background vocalists. I have heard that other girls lead songs but not as often as the girl who wears the glasses. She has a big voice that sounds mature due to her deep tone and loud notes.
I highly recommend this group to anyone who loves Jpop. These girl can actually sing live too. So, that's a big plus in my book...
