Finally!

However, I’m a little underwhelmed but I’m glad Jinsei is first. That song is much more interesting to me compared to Seishun. I hope their music videos are just as fun and interesting as the other groups are getting. That’s my biggest wish for this single. The AR cards sound interesting. I’m intrigued.

[Jessi]

Have we heard these songs before?

[Pyo-kiyo]

^Yes, both have been performed at their spring concert tour, Seishun Night from 3/16 while Jinsei Blues from 4/27 onwards.

Good! These are already the most interesting A-sides they've had in a while imo.

[Jessi]

Ok so I absolutely love Jinsei Blues. It’s the better of the two songs. But Seishun Night is fun. Reminds me of Utakata. It also has some of that classic Tsunku vibe even though he probably didn’t work on the song. With a good PV I could end up really loving that song too.

[JonCC]

Probably last one before the new generation arrives. Sounds promising so far.

Jessi: "Seishun Night" actually is a Tsunku-produced song!

15.Seishun Night 青春Night (Unreleased new song written by Tsunku, arranged by Okubo Kaoru, Rap arrangement by female rapper Miss Monday, who is the wife of U.M.E.D.Y.), funky song with rap. Fans report they saw a small notation saying it is a new single, but no release date.

I just found out too! I knew it sounded like a Tsunku song!


Edit: Turns out he wrote both songs

in the encore, Morning Musume. '19 performed a new song written by Tsunku "Jinsei Blues" (人生Blues), not related to Kobushi Factory's Kenmei Blues.

Finally more Tsunku sound in my life. Exciting stuff! <3 I wonder if the dance will change or anything for Seishun night since that's the one we've seen and heard the most.
