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

[Nono]

The name is very odd. Surprised they went with like, a completely new name I thought they would try to incorporate "smile" or smth in it. I love the new logo

[Rika-chan]

J'adore leur nouveau nom ANGE + LARME
I wonder if they will change their group color for blue when berryz will graduate.

Watching Harusute now, and I like it much better after hearing the girls say it, versus just reading it. Still on the fence with Meimi's hair though.

I don't see "Anger Me" when I see it typed, but that logo is so spaced out that it's impossible not to see it.

the pronunciation is actually not bad, but is hard to reconcile with the spelling. maybe if it were just ANGE or actually ANGELARME.

i'm also going to have to decide how to pronounce this out-loud.. i've never had to actually decide, my brain decides for me. C-ute and S/mileage i have always pronounced the English-sounding way. Berryz i've pronounced as ベリーズ because my brain can't see "Berryz" as "berries" (and because hearing ベリーズ so often just made me associate that pronunciation with the spelling Berryz).

but my brain can't see ANGERME as either "an j'arme" (how it would be pronounced in French, i guess) or as アンジュルム.. so i'm going to have to force my brain to associate it as one or the other. xD

And still to this day, why do Japanese SO OFTEN swap L's and R's around. I'd swear they do it on purpose just to keep the Engrish side of Japanese culture alive.

so, we pronounce it Angel(ar)me instead of Anger(ar)me

[sb]

Since I rarely pay attention to them I'm gonna tell myself that it's "Anger Me" and the name comes from Rina's feelings on the wota's off key singing.

[AyuHikaru]

I'm starting to get using to seeing at "An-jer-Mei" instead of "An-gur Mii" which is probably as close as I'm gonna come to seeing it the right way. I still call Lovendor "LOVE-and-Or" instead of Lavender.

I don't think the name is bad though, just the shock of ANGER ME was pretty O.O

Though, I kinda like ANGER ME if they were going rock.

Oh.

Should've just went with SmileRAGE then, amirite? Amirite? Up high, jplop, don't leave me hangin!

Man what beautiful weather New York is having

^LOL

...When i first saw "new single by ANGERME" i was so confused. Thought it was some shadow H!P thing. nope. xD

And when I got home, I was trying to remember how the name was spelled because I remember it being like "angel" + "larme" but then i remember everyone complaining about "angerme" so i facepalmed at the engrish. xD
But, I'm totally down for pronouncing it" Angel-em" or... WE CAN ALL BE COW ANGELS! "angel-moo"! xD
