HANGRY & ANGRY、日米同時デビューを電撃発表

謎のヴィジュアル系ユニットのHANGRY & ANGRY（ハングリーアングリー）が、インディーズ・デビュー・ミニ・アルバム『Kill Me Kiss Me』を日米同時リリースし、今後、日本、アメリカ、そしてヨーロッパとワールドワイドに展開していくことが明らかになった。

そもそも「HANGRY & ANGRY」はジャパニーズ・ゴシック・ファッション界で強い影響力を持つ人気デザイナー、h.NAOTO氏のブランドで、大人気イラストレーター「GASHICON（ガシコン）」が描く “グロカワ系” （グロいけどカワイイ）キャラクター…なのだが、実はこの話には続きがある。いじめられっ子のハングリー、実はリミッターを超えると地球を滅ぼしてしまうほどの核爆発を起こしてしまうという秘密を持っている。一方、ハングリーをいじめるという宿命を背負ったアングリーは、そんなことも知らない。アングリーの凶暴なハングリーいじめによって、破滅の危険が刻一刻と迫る地球。そんな状況を救うために、タイムマシーン「ラブ・マシーン」号に乗って未来からやってきたのが、今回、デビューするこのふたり。つまり、彼女たちはHANGRY & ANGRYというキャラクターの未来形だったのだ。

そんな彼女たちは、2008年11月19日に、インディーズ・デビュー・ミニ・アルバム『Kill Me Kiss Me』を日米同時にリリース。日本での発売は、限定10,000個で、TSUTAYA、WoderGOO 、すみや、VIRGIN MEGA STOREのみの取り扱い。今回はCDとHANGRY & ANGRY オリジナル・パスケースが特製ランチBOX缶に入ったスペシャルパッケージ商品となっている（ちなみに、アメリカではCDのみのリリース）。
さらにこのミニアルバムに合わせてPV映像を制作。ふたりのロックスピリッツを垣間見ることができるこの映像のパフォーマンス・プロデュースを担当しているのは、なんとSHAZNAのIZAM（現・alcali-5）。

こんなHANGRY & ANGRYだが、先日、MySpaceにて音源とヴィジュアルを先行公開したところ、4日間で10万アクセスを突破。11月5日の時点で、海外のファンも巻き込んで33万アクセスに迫らんとしているなど、ものすごい勢いとなっている模様。さらに現在、裏原宿のいたるところにHANGRY & ANGRYのポスターが貼られており、まさに裏原ジャックの様相を呈している。

なお、この勢いに乗り、11月28日に渋谷C.C.Lemonホールで開催される＜MySpace 2nd Anniversary in Shibuya＞のスペシャルショウケースにゲスト出演する形での初ライヴも決定。そして、なんと2009年には、日本、アメリカ、ヨーロッパ各国をまわる世界キャンペーンも計画されているという。

世界基準なこのふたりが世界を歌で救えるのか。その正体はいまだに不明なだけに、チャーミングな彼女たちの今後の動向に瞳が離せない。ご注目を。

Oh snap! The mini album is limited to 10 000 copies in Japan and only TSUTAYA, WoderGOO, Sumi, and VIRGIN MEGA STORE will be selling it. Also the lunchbox version won't be released outside Japan.

From the TokyoGraph site:

Quote from: http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-3998

Last month, news broke that Morning Musume graduates Hitomi Yoshizawa and Rika Ishikawa are forming a new pop-punk unit called Hangry & Angry. It has now been officially revealed that the group's first mini-album will be seeing a simultaneous release in the U.S.

Hangry & Angry is being represented by Up-Front Works, in collaboration with the Hangry & Angry clothing brand, which falls under the h.NAOTO umbrella. The brand's characters, drawn by popular illustrator GASHICON, are two cats who have traveled through time and space to save the world.

The duo's first mini-album, "Kill Me Kiss Me," is being released under an indie label on November 19. In Japan, the CD will be available only through Tsutaya, WonderGOO, Sumiya, and Virgin Megastore. A limited edition special package will also be sold, with only 10,000 units available.

On the same day, a CD-only version will be released in the U.S. through the efforts of JapanFiles. The album will also be available for digital download.

Hangry & Angry will perform their first live show in Shibuya on November 28, with SHAZNA's Izam taking on the role of their performance producer. In 2009, they are planning an international campaign in Japan, Europe, and the U.S.

More details are available in the JapanFiles press release.

If I read this correctly it says that the "lunchbox" edition is limited to 10,000 units. The regular CD-only edition is not explicitly limited in number. Well known middleman "Ohta" is already taking pre-orders for the limited edition. (I'm not in anyway affiliated with him, just passing the link.)

So it will be released in US as well? where, nationwide or just in specific location, specific stores? TSUTAYA, WoderGOO, Sumi, and VIRGIN MEGA STORE, these stores exist in the US? If I'm able to, I want to buy the US release, but I doubt it'll be available where I live, maybe it'll only release in cities like L.A., Houston, Miami, NYC and such big cities with large asian communities, rite?

either way, THIS IS HUGE! UFA/H!P related groups, former MoMusu members, releasing in the US!

I wonder if JapanFiles will ship to Europe, couldn't find anything on their website.
Hmm, but when they tour Europe maybe we'll get an official release here, too.

uhm... is there anyone here who lives in Japan who can help me get a limited edition "version" of the mini-album?

i'm really dying to have it... i need this so bad...

i'll love you forever and maybe i can compensate for your trouble... please PM me... please?

^ http://smiletrade.info/hello/
As usual, Ohta's taking orders but with the limited edition actually being limited for once it'll be hard... and hella expensive... How much is your IshiYoshi love worth in USD tru?

I can't find it, but JapanFiles doesn't ship internationally does it?

tru_harmony · « **Reply #252 on:** November 09, 2008, 10:56:29 AM »

^as much as i want to say that my love for them is worth all the riches in the world, all they (UF hence IshiYoshi) will be able to earn from this could be no more than 3000 yen...

as much as i love them, i don't want to be taken advantage of... and i'm broke...

Judging by the website it seems so, I wrote them an email to clarify. Maybe they'll make exceptions or consider to ship internationally in the future.

OMG! GIZA GIZA might be the best H&A song!

Lyrics
嫌われたくないから僕は少しだけ【A】
嘘をついたの【H&A】
本当を見せたら僕は君の傍に【H】
いられなくなる【H】気がした【H&A】
痛いのは慣れてるはずなの【H】
泣き言も零さないし【A】
涙も【A】見せないわ【H&A】

GIRAGIRA輝く銀色TSUGIHAGI模様
痛い記憶と甘い思い出と
KIRAKIRA瞬く月の光を浴びたら
CHIRACHIRA踊る君と

？？？？？？【H】溶けるくらい甘いよ【A】
???の言葉は【H&A】
飲み込んだなら【H】やがて毒に変わるの【A】
食べた振りして【H】吐き出した【H&A】
嘘をつく僕を抱きしめて【A】
僕はただ独りきりが【H】
寂しい【H】だけなんだ【H&A】

BARABARA散らばる僕の心の欠片は
KIRAKIRAそこら中で光ってる

HANGRY & ANGRY is the most awesome H!P group ever!
