Watarirouka Hashiritai 7's 8th Single [Hetappi Wink]


Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 will release their 8th Single, titled [Hetappi Wink] (へたっぴウィンク) on August 3rd. Surprise, surprise. Iwasa Misaki is still in the Warota7 despite switching agency from Ogi Pro (Warota's agency). The Single will come in 4 different versions: The usual TYPE A, B, C, and a Normal ver.

Official Watarirouka Hashiritai website: http://watarirouka.com/news/index.html

"Hetappi" is a cute way of saying "Hetakuso" (下手くそ) which means "lack of skill". So the song is about them being bad at winking. Ahahaha interesting... The center of Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 Watanabe Mayu has said in an early interview that the title song Hetappi Wink will give you energy. And indeed it has! On my first listen of the song, it was an instant hit. Like all of Warota's single titles, the song is crazily addicting and full of energy.

By the way do you still remember the Mothers Day song Mamma, Grazie! we blogged about long ago? Well that turned out not to be a proper Single, instead it was a digital release. But good news for those who like the song, it will be released after all as one of the B-Sides of Hetappi Wink.

Not much else is known about the other B-Side songs other than that Mayuyu will get another solo song Mirai no Koibito in the Normal ver. of the Single. It seems customary for her to get a solo in every Warota release nowadays.

3 days after the release of Hetappi Wink on August 6th, Watarirouka will he having their first solo concert at the Hibi Yagai Ongakudon, also known as Hibiyayaon. However there are only 6,000 seats, and it's a lottery. Included inn all first press copies of the single is serial number card for the event.
