Overview

Concept and formation Atarashii Gakko! adopts a philosophy of challenging the norms of Japanese society. Positioning themselves as the representatives of Japanese youth, the group’s guiding principle states: "In a time when only exemplary citizens are acknowledged, we strive to defy a narrow-minded society by embracing individuality and freedom." While the circumstances surrounding the group’s formation have never been disclosed, they stated on the radio program All Night Nippon that they had met in a supermarket discount aisle.

In 2020, Atarashi Gakko signed to 88rising, which promotes the group internationally. In 2021, they worked on new songs in Los Angeles with producer Money Mark, several of which were on their EP Snacktime, which released that same year.
