AMOYAMO - LET'S GO OUT

AMOYAMO's debut release is a sure treat.

Duo AMOYAMO has already gained popularity. Both AMO and AYAMO appear in KERA and Zipper regularly as models. Debuting in August 2012, the girls’ debut single marks only just the beginning of what could be a fruitful music career.

Bubbly and undeniably cute, LET’S GO OUT shows best what AMOYAMO can provide musically. In the track LET’S GO OUT, the two sing together and alternate between each other every couple of lines. The bright melody and steady beat makes for a strong title track, but there is a hint of Tommy in the track. Also, LET’S GO OUT was used as the first opening in "Gintama’ : Enchousen".

OMG!! relaxes slightly, with a rap-like beat and fun lyrics. With such a silly song title, it’s almost expected that the track matches the tone of the song—and it does—with a playful, electric bubblegum-pop melody.

Seeing as AMOYAMO is produced by Tomoko Kawase of Tommy february6 / Tommy heavenly6 and the brilliant green, a cover of one her songs was almost expected. Included only on the limited edition of LET’S GO OUT, AMOYAMO performs a fun electro synth-pop version of Pray that was originally by Tommy heavenly6. A fun fact: the original version of Pray was also used in the first run of "Gintama".

The PV for LET’S GO OUT is just as cute, with AMOYAMO driving around an animated town that is actually a pop-up book. The two then watch miniatures versions of themselves perform a concert. Of course, the duo is very fashionable, wearing items both are most recognized for: pastel coloured hair with the girls’ iconic curled side fringe and tattoo tights!

LET’S GO OUT ranked well on the Oricon single charts, having debuted at 23rd place during its initial run. Having a tie-in with the "Gintama" franchise has been a vehicle that helped AMOYAMO to garner a wider audience.

If you are in Japan, a short version of the official PV can be seen via Sony’s YouTube Channel, but for everyone else in the world, Dailymotion is the next best option.
