MAMI to provide a song for Yumemiru Adolescence's new single!
MAMI will be providing the song 「Exceeeed!!」 for Yumemiru Adolescence's new single out on 11/15.
「Exceeeed!!」 has a SCANDAL-like speedy band sound, and just like the meaning of the title to exceed [the limit, amount], the lyrics in the chorus (『Dareka ga ageta haadoru wa watashi-tachi wo kasoku sarerunda / Ima wo karoyaka ni koete ikou』 [The hurdles raised by someone else will speed us up / We'll easily go beyond the present]) make it a message song that tells of the group's current situation of holding new member auditions after a member left and another returned, as well as if the life-sized feelings of the four members were clipped out.
Additionally, the same song will be aired as the theme song for 『Concept! 2020』 on Shizuoka Asahi TV from 23:10 on 10/10 (Tue.).

【SCANDAL MAMI's comments】
・My feelings when accepting the offer
I was honestly happy! And since I had never provided a song to another artist before, I also felt "I want to take on the challenge!" Also, I was really excited that it'd be for an idol group instead of a band in the same field as us.
・Details about the lyrics and music
The music was made with the point of it being a song that'd shine at a live show. As we attended a dance school when the band formed and I naturally work thinking about the timing of singing and choreography in my head, it was a lot of fun to produce it with a different way of thinking than usual! While making the music, I wrote the lyrics thinking it'd be nice if I could make a 「positive」 message as the theme. Among them, I was conscious of putting in words that are girl-related, like "make-up" or "wink." Sometimes there are moments when you're playing a live show and your songs give you a push on the back. It'd be great if YumeAdo also thinks the same about this song 『Exceeeed!!』 !
・Feedback on the finished song
The emotional vocals are really great.
I think it's a song that makes YumeAdo's coolness even more prominent! So awesome!!
I want to see it live! And hear it! Yes!!
