CIRRA -- Always
https://youtu.be/gDbDZ8KHYck?si=Zkhi2uDQ57-n6_gu

This blend of propulsive dance pop and melancholy appeals to me,

The LDH group E-girls are supposedly the inspiration for this group which emerged from the show "Girls' Battle Audition". To complicate matters, the show and eventually CIRRA includes members from two other LDH groups. In addition, one of the producers is a former member of E-girls .

Anyway, leaving aside the organizational complexities, I often find that LDH groups to be the Jpop groups that click with me most readily. I'm sure that this preference stems from the sound and style of LDH girl groups being not a million miles from the sound and style of a Kpop group.

@miasmicfungus

As I mentioned in the original post, I tend to like LDH girl groups.

Nevertheless, I have always found the the crisscrossing threads of joint memberships, sub-units, shared production, spin offs and so on difficult to untangle.

What I really need is a 16 week course "Understanding LDH Girl Groups."

What do you think of "Always"?

@jemmesedi i watched it because I found your recommendation appealing, but my thouht was "This could be sadder." My problem is I'm on the defensive ever since ME:I so I'm really unwelcoming of new groups debuting in this way.
