S/mileage's new name is ANGERME, 3rd gen members announced

[otaku_blue]

out of all the name applications they went with that?

what an annoying name "ANGERME". Its not too late to change it, so I'm gonna be hopeful.
hopefully at least it has a unique pronunciation...

[Starra]

It's anjerumu.

From what people have said it basically means "crying angels" in French. Which imo is pretty fucking cool, lol.

[Yattaruchan]

Yep, that name has a 2nd Gen tone ALL OVER IT.
(I'm referring to the ANGER ME)

So I assume ANGERME is the official romanized name, and the other is the pronunciation?

yeah thats cool. but just to clarify, the english name is "ANGERME", but the japanese name/pronunciation is "Angerumu"?

[Starra]

Yep, it's one of those "it's not pronounced how it looks" names lol. At least it's not as bad as v-u-den.

Apparently it's the name Kana suggested.

[Yattaruchan]

It can be kinda read as Anger Room too.

[otaku_blue]

hmmm I definitely like the idea behind it, but not the english name.

hopefully like S/mileage, they'll make the japanese name the official one.

S/mileage's new group name is ANGERME (アンジェルム). Seems to be an-jeru-mu. Angelmu? Maybe?

EDIT: Apparently it's angel + tears in French?

'Angelarme' if they go 100% by the French pronunciation. We'll see soon during H!S.
But it's a beautiful word when it rolls down the tongue.

Although I can see how English-only speakers may be a bit confused.

It's also far from the strangest name in J-Pop land.

This is why I'm not even mad, lmao.

Weeeeell. It's a strong name! =o I like it!

"ANGEL'S GERME" !!!
it could be hardcore in a way...
"Larme" ? It would surprise me because ANGERME is "A-n-g-e-l-è-r-m-e" in french phonetic.
