Overview

Concept and formation

edit

Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders adopts a philosophy of challenging the norms of Japanese society. Positioning themselves as the representatives of Japanese youth, the group’s guiding principle states: "In a time when only exemplar citizens are acknowledged, we strive to defy a narrow-minded society by embracing individuality and freedom."[4] While the circumstances surrounding the group’s formation have never been disclosed, they stated on the radio program All Night Nippon that they had met in a supermarket discount aisle.[4]

In 2020, Atarashi Gakko signed to 88rising, which promotes the group internationally.[7] In 2021, they worked on new songs in Los Angeles with producer Money Mark, several of which were on their EP Snacktime, which released that same year.[8][9]
