Introduction
Artist：Takane no Nadeshiko(高嶺のなでしこ)
Songname: I’M YOUR IDOL
Takane no Nadeshiko’s new song “I’M YOUR IDOL” is their upcoming second single, scheduled for release on December 11, 2024. This single is a two-sided release, featuring “I’M YOUR IDOL” and “Adrenaline Game” which showcase different themes. “I’M YOUR IDOL” is a vibrant idol-style song, while “Adrenaline Game” is a fast-paced rock-style track with a “fanning” (or interactive) section during the interlude, allowing for audience participation during live performances to create a more lively atmosphere.
“Adrenaline Game” has also been chosen as the ending theme for the Fuji Television series “Escape the Great Mission.” The anime depicts a future world where humans have migrated to the moon, and “Escape the Great Mission” is an entertainment survival game popular in the lunar colonies. In the game, escapees are released within a restricted area, and as long as they are not captured by the tracking robots “Hunters” before the time runs out, they can win a large sum of money.
The new single “I’M YOUR IDOL / Adrenaline Game” will be released in five different formats, including Special Edition A, Special Edition B, First Press Limited Edition A, First Press Limited Edition B, and Takaneko Edition. The Special Editions will include a CD, a special booklet, and trading cards, while the First Press Limited Editions will include a CD and DVD. The Takaneko Edition showcases Takane no Nadeshiko’s “dream world,” a non-realistic magical utopia called “CLASSIC UTOPIA” that they guide their fans into.
The release of this single will undoubtedly bring more anticipation and excitement to the fans of Takane no Nadeshiko.
