Toryanse is a Japanese children's song about a woman asking to enter a shrine to give thanks that her child has reach 7 years old. It's also often used as the sound on Japanese crossing lights. It's interesting that AG used it for their first release after their N.American tour and concert at the iconic Budokan Arena in Tokyo and that the MV uses very traditional Japanese imagery. Next listen to some live AG. I recommend the last 3 songs they did in Brooklyn where Suzuka does lots of crowd interaction. Just look for "Atarashii Gakko Brooklyn Nai Nai Nai".
It's nice to see Kanon, Mizyu, and Rin splitting the lead vocals. From some of the concert videos from last year, it seemed that Suzuka was having trouble keeping her voice in good shape. I have to think that they made a conscious decision to add some material where she can ease back some.
