Very Good Days Home of the AIMI, Draft King, and Stereopony Community
Hydrangea ga Saiteiru
Release Date: 17 June 2009
Record Label: gr8! Records
Catalog Number: SRCL-7048
Frivolous rock ‘n’ roll and shocking first album. Stereopony is most remembered for their smash hit “Hitohira no Hanabira” that is still fresh in our memories and for reaching the 2nd position of the Oricon Chart with their original content. The girl band whose members are all born in the Hesei Period (post 8 January 1989), for the first time in history, have made brilliant achievements with “Namida no Mukou” and their collaboration with YUI on their song “I do it.” This album is packed with those tracks into a 13 song compilation.
The title of the album refers to frivolity in the flower world. The color of the flower changes gracefully, and it is a symbol of changing and widening musical tastes in the future of the three members. It is the first album by an all-girl rock band that will cause a revolution.
The Limited Edition version of this album contains a DVD that contains the promotional music videos for “Hitohira no Hanabira,” “Namida no Mukou,” “I do it,” and “Seishun ni, Sono Namida ga Hitsuyou da!”. It also contains a documentary from SXSW 2009.
