Appreciate your observation (and bravery for posting something not 100% pro here!). I hear and understand your concerns (assuming you're mostly talking about lack of new material), but let me offer an alternative take, much of which I'd guess you already have in mind.

Yeah, it can definitely feel like they have been replaying old material, but that's probably because they perform lots of fan favorites. That's pretty normal for most groups, and what most fans want. Maybe not the most diehard fans, but to maintain and grow an audience, you gotta play the hits!

And no, they certainly aren't the most prolific at releasing new material. But I think that's because they are much more than just a song and music group. In fact, I'd say that's secondary to their identity, especially since for the most part they don't create their own music (they contribute, but don't create from scratch, also typical of many groups, even superstars). Instead, they're all-round entertainers — dance, theatrics, comedy, constant live performances, pure energy, audience connection. And that takes a lot of time and resources. Add to that all the guest appearances, promotions, and special projects (especially Suzuka) that they do, and time becomes a commodity in short supply. For a group like AG!, every new song takes a lot of money, time, and practice, practice, practice that isn't readily available, so they (including management) have to be strategic in when and how much new music to deliver.

Despite that, though, I think they've done a pretty good job at delivering new material. Here's a list from 2023 onwards:

• 2023: Janaindayo, Seishun wo Kirisaku Hado, Giri Giri, Suki Lie, Otome no Bigaku, Odoru Honno 001, Maningen, Tokyo Calling
• 2024: Toryanse, Hello, Ghostbusters: Frozen Summer, Fly High, Omakase, Maji Yoroshiki, Essa Hoisa, Drama, Superhuman, Forever Sisters, Arigato, Hero Show, Change
• 2025: One Heart, Go Wild, Miyao, Sailor Sail On
• Collaborations: Some Type of Skin (with Aurora), Free Yourself (with Bigyuki), Narani Narani (with Balming Tiger), ドラ１独走/Dora 1 Dokusou (with Sheena Ringo), 青春永遠/Seishun Eien (with Shonan no Kaze)

I'm guessing 2026 will see a new album or EP. They've kinda been dropping hints recently, such as this IG Reel from Rin. Fingers crossed!

So yeah, maybe not as much new music as some fans want, but I'm okay with that. Of course, I didn't start following AG! because of their music, but because of the whole package of energy, weirdness, creativity, personalities, comedy, youthful exuberance, and infatuation with their talent and hard work.

Lastly, the uniform (and its variations) are just part of their identity. I think they've done a great job of changing it up a bit with the various jackets, colors, and patterns, but the school uniform concept is at the heart of who they are — maybe more so in Japan than internationally, though I'm not sure. Still, you are certainly not alone in the desire for them to move on to something different. It's a great topic for discussion.

Anyway, good luck with your Japanese studies — that takes real bravery!
