FEMM
ラストイヤーに世界中を駆け回るFEMMのラストEP「CHERRY」が本日リリース
2023.11.15
今年で10年間の活動にピリオドを打つFEMMのラストEP「CHERRY」が本日リリース。
強い女性像を歌うリード曲『CHERRY on TOP』(テレビ朝日「フリースタイル日本統一」テーマソング)は、10年代からのフィメールラッパーの先駆けとしてのキャリアを凝縮した1曲。
同じく本日公開されたミュージックビデオでは、歴代のアイコニックな衣装を着用。代表曲「Fxxk Boyz Get Money」を彷彿とさせるTwerkのコレオグラフ、人気曲「Kill the DJ」のオマージュ、彼女たちの原点ともいえる東京カルチャーを代表するスポットなど、これまでのヒストリーが網羅されている。
最後、自身の活動に幕を下ろすFEMMならではのシーンが心に突き刺さる。

今作には、初となるソロ曲も収録されている。
RiRiが歌う「Living in the Spotlight」は、強さと脆さの二面性が描かれており、彼女のカラフルなキャラクターが感じられる一曲。LuLaが歌う「Butterfly to the Moon」では、エージェント(FEMMのファンの呼称)への感謝と、大切な何かを離さず、抱きしめて成長していく物語が綴られている。
他にも、辛く悲しい時に光差すように現れる希望を歌った『SUN』、FEMMの定番曲を新しいタッチで表現したリミックス「We Flood the Night(MYLK Remix)」を含む、計5曲入りの作品。
2023年5月、「Magnificon Expo」にて初のポーランド公演を行い、7月には英国最大の日本文化イベント「Hyper Japan」でトリを務めた。続いて、ドイツ「Geek Festival」とアメリカの「Anime Weekend Atlanta」にも出演。11月30日から12月1日に行われるサウジアラビア「Comic Con Arabia」への出演も発表されており、世界中を飛び回っている。

As a closure to their 10-year career, Japanese mannequin duo FEMM release their last EP “CHERRY” on November 15.
In the music video for the lead track “CHERRY on TOP,” they wear iconic costumes from their past. The video reminds us of their whole history, like the twerking choreography from their signature song “Fxxk Boyz Get Money,” and anhomage of fan-favorite track “Kill the DJ.”
They also appear at iconic Tokyo locations where the origin of FEMM first began.
By revisiting these scenes that are uniquely FEMM, the video offers a poignant final curtain call that will touch your heart.
“CHERRY on TOP” MV:

The EP also includes each member’s first ever solos.
RiRi sings “Living in the Spotlight,” which is strong and vulnerable at the same time. It can really illuminate her colorful character. Meanwhile, LuLa’s “Butterfly to the Moon” shows gratitude to FEMM agents (fans), while embracing her past and still try to move on to a new future.
Other songs are “SUN,” which lightens our darkest hour, and “We Flood the Night (MYLK Remix),” a rerub of a classic FEMM track with a new touch.
FEMM has been traveling worldwide to deliver their songs and messages to their agents. This year began by performing in Poland at “Magnificon Expo,” followed by a headline performance at “Hyper Japan,” UK’s largest Japanese-culture festival. Then flew to Germany’s “Geek Festival” and “Anime Weekend Atlanta” in the United States. FEMM will also appear at “Comic Con Arabia,” which will be held in Saudi Arabia from November 30 to December 1, as they make one last farewell lap of the world.
