Japanese girl group sensation f5ve – have just released their debut single ‘Lettuce’ with accompanying video

Introducing Japanese girl group sensation f5ve with their debut single and video ‘Lettuce’, out now via Three Six Zero Recordings.

Inter-dimensional dream agents from Tokyo, f5ve [pronounced fi-vee] are a newly formed five-piece group composed of J-Pop icons SAYAKA, KAEDEMIYUURURI (previously in Happiness and E-Girls) and RUI (from iScream). Joining forces with executive producer and Grammy award winner BloodPop®, their debut single ‘Lettuce’ is a perfect showcase of the group’s dreamy yet adult sound as they question a toxic lover in both English and Japanese.

With ‘Lettuce’ f5ve doesn’t hold back. In a genre often associated with innocence and sweetness, f5ve dares to embrace the darker and more mature aspects of love and womanhood, setting themselves apart as a force to be reckoned with.
 
Tapping into fantasies and daydreams, the accompanying video directed by Charlotte Rutherford sees the band transport viewers to a lettuce-filled dreamland, delivering sharp choreography and showing off their unique personalities.

Speaking about the new single, f5ve said:
 
“The song has a chill vibe, but it’s about not changing myself for someone I love, even if it means being disliked by others. I love this contrast.” – Miyuu  
 
“The sound is enchanting and addictive. I love how the lyrics playfully navigate romantic games, which we express with a relaxed vibe in our performance. My favorite is RURI’s cute line in the second verse, Where are you now? Where are you going?” – Kaede  
 
“The lyrics are playful and the sound is both fantastical and addictive. The lettuce-eating choreography in the chorus is a highlight!” – Rui  
 
“The song portrays the allure of a confident and captivating woman.” – Sayaka
 
“I like the second verse melody. The cute Japanese lyrics really show our individual vocal styles.” – Ruri

The band previously released one single under the name SG5 but chose to reform as f5ve late last year. f5ve’s mission is to infiltrate the subconscious mind to eradicate self-doubt and bad vibes. Utilizing their arsenal of optimism, confidence, fantasy, intelligence and female empowerment, these five women create surreal aural landscapes in which fear can’t exist.

Stay tuned for more news from f5ve.
