Description

[Machine Translation] In August 2012, the band started playing live as The Rouges after the departure of the bass player from the previous band. The members are Paako (Dr., MainVo), Hiyoko (G, Vo), and Yuichan (Ba, Vo), who seem to be a bit of an eater, but as their name suggests, they play a cheap style with a great pop sense, and their sound can be rightly called the pinnacle of B-grade pop music. Their flamboyant looks and unprecedented stage presence have attracted a lot of attention, and the band has been on a rampage at various live houses. Their first mini-album, which is their first source of music, is a gem of a work with 6 songs that are just as catchy and easy to remember. The blend of 60's girl pop cuteness and 70's power pop is exquisite. The Rouges' ability to easily combine the two contradictory elements of B-music and royalty, pop and raunchy, is the very essence of their music. The Rouges also have an amazing look that is too flashy even in this age of cosplay. The photos were taken by Tetsuro Sato, who also works with andymori and others. The character of this new comer is very unique and "very picturesque" as a subject!

Description in Japanese

my sweet R&R / The Rouges

2012年8月、前身バンドのベース脱退を契機にバンド名をThe Rougesとしてライヴ活動を開始。メンバーは、ぱぁ子(Dr、MainVo)、ひよこ(G、Vo)、ゆいちゃん(Ba、Vo)という人を食ったような名前だが、その通り、チープな演奏ながらポップセンス抜群な正しくB級ポップスの最高峰とも言うべきサウンドをかき鳴らす。ド派手なルックスと破天荒なステージングが噂を呼び、各ライヴハウスで大暴れしている。今回初音源となる1st ミニアルバムは、全6曲ひたすらキャッチーでひたすら覚えやすい珠玉の作品。正しく金太郎飴の如くどこを切ってもスィートなバブルガムポップの洪水!60'sガールズポップのキュートさと70'sパワーポップのブレンド具合が絶妙で、こういうのをセンスの塊と人は呼びます。反則技スレスレの「やったもん勝ち」的な突き抜けたセンスであります。B級なのに王道、ポップなのに荒っぽい、この相反した要素を簡単にやってのけるセンスこそ、The Rougesの真骨頂!そしてこの全国総コスプレ時代の現代においてもド派手すぎるルックスも驚異的であります。写真はandymori等も手掛ける佐藤哲郎氏撮影によるもの。被写体として「非常に絵になる」キャラクター性も非常にユニークなNEW COMERの登場です!
