Aa!

I’d like to inform you on yet another inactive Hello! Project Unit: Aa! Yes, the groups name is titled Aa! The group is composed of 3 girls: Reina Tanaka of Morning Musume, and 2 Hello! Project Kids- Miyabi Natsuyaki and Airi Suzuki. At the time of the units activity (October 2003, with only 1 single), Reina was 13, Miyabi was 11, and Airi was at the very young age of 9.

Their first and last single, titled FIRST KISS, is a midtempo R&B song. The outfits are eccentric overalls with chains and multi-colored hats. The bside, Masayume, is a slower song which is full of emotion.

Even with their young ages, Aa! is quite a good group. If you would like to see who sings what, and want to see a translation, Project Hello is a great source. Here are the FIRST KISS lyrics and the Masayume lyrics.

1st Single: FIRST KISS
  1. FIRST KISS
  2. Masayume *
  3. FIRST KISS (instrumental)

* Thanks to Maki-san for Masayume.

    Thanks for the article, Lalanana hime! For some odd reason, I enjoy the 2nd song more than the first song, maybe I like the emotional melody of the b-side more.

    I’ve always wondered why these H!P groups usually have very short life, for example many of them release only 1 or 2 singles and then they are like gone forever? Is is Tsunku’s idea to have lots of groups and none of them can stay around long enough?

    Maybe you can disect the business plot behind all these H!P groups if you know any of them, and I’m wondering who actually buy these singles, when you know it’s likely that there will be no 2nd single.

    The trio of Reina, Airi, and Murikamaki Megumi did a song on the H!P All-Stars single which I like to consider Aa! version 2.
