The band's nickname is Kurapo.[3][4] The nickname for its fans is "Poppers".[4][5]

On March 6, it was announced that they will disband after their last live at Zepp Shinjuku on August 8, 2024.

History

[edit | edit source]

The group was created on August 8, 2015, consisting of several junior high and high school girls who were noted at Stardust Planet[a] for their dance skills.[6][7] The group's name originates from its concept of "working hard to polish dance skills in order to grab the entertainment world's crown".[4][6]

The group was originally founded without a name and was known simply as "Entertainment Office Section 2 Lesson Place" (芸能２部レッスン場).[1] The name "Crown Pop" was announced during their live debut performance that took place on December 5, 2015 at the "Please Don't Forget Tohoku" event in Sendai.[1][8]

In September 2017, the group announced its first mini-album, Change the World!. The album was sold only at the group's live concerts.[7]

After several member changes, the group settled with six members in January 2018:[7] Mita Ibuki, Saho Tanaka, Kaori Yamamoto, Rina, Airi Fujita, and Mia Yuzuki.[9] The first concert with the current line-up of six members was held on January 28, 2018 at Akihabara Zest and was titled Crown Pop New Line-up Announcement Concert (CROWN POP新体制お披露目公演).[10][11][12]

On May 27, 2018, the group announced its first single, "Real×live", with a song titled "EGO×search" as a coupling track. This, like Change the World!, was only distributed at live concerts.[13]

On October 23, 2018, the group released (through Music@Note, a record label created as a collaboration between Tower Records Japan and a pop culture event called @Jam) its first nationally distributed single, "Gogo Yoji goro no Suki Desu" (午後四時ごろの好きです).[7][14][15] The single reached number 19 on the Japanese weekly Oricon singles chart.[16]

On September 14, 2020, Kaori Yamamoto announced that she will graduate on September 27 at the band's "Solo Birthday" live.[17]

On August 8, 2024, the group disband after their last live at Zepp Shinjuku.

Musical and lyrical style

[edit | edit source]

"Gogo Yoji goro no Suki Desu", the title track of the group's album Change the World!, is a sour-sweet rock song full of teenage racing heartbeats and vacillating emotions.[18]
