CASUT00 2nd EP "Star Sign"

Hey everyone!

As you know, the two day concert SERA00 ON AIR: Scents of Spring was successfully completed yesterday. Many of you are still waiting for the broadcast to air next week. We've already released the performance of "Ethereal Day" online for you guys to enjoy, and remember the single is released on the 5th (this Friday)!

Maybe you've already heard from fans who attended the concert, but yes - CASUT00 made a surprise performance of the title track of their new EP, "Star Sign"! This act was not announced before, so it was a pleasant surprise for fans. The album will drop the following Friday following SERA00's new single, which is the 12th of June. Here is the tracklist:

01  Every Day
02  Star Sign [title]
03  Love Tomorrow
04  With You
05  Channel
06  Bright Steps

CASUT00's first EP "Chocolate" was a smattering of styles meant to introduce CASUT00 and show off the girl's abilities. The second album focuses more on developing their identity as a group. They took a more coherent approach to choosing the tracks and making sure they all fit with the themes they want to convey. The concept this time is fresh, new, and hopeful, as if finding your first love. Here is the breakdown of each song:

The title track is Star Sign. It is a medium tempo track bordering on ballad-y, with a toned down dance to match the melody. All members.

Every Day and With You are both ballads featuring all the members' vocals in harmony.

Love Tomorrow features Arron, Rachel, Nikki, and Ava, also a slow, beautiful song.

Channel brings up the hype a bit, the most upbeat track of the album, featuring our dancers JY, Isabelle, Holiday, and Madison.

And to round off the album is another medium tempo track, Bright Steps, with all members.

Overall, this album slowed it down a lot from the first, but it's a nice change and I hope you'll all enjoy what CASUT00 has to offer! I guess when Miss Avery gets into a slow mood, it's not only SERA00 getting the ballads!

Please support CASUT00 and SERA00!

NEW 00 rank 6th stage! 8th gen debut

Hey everyone!

Are you excited for SERA00 ON AIR: Scents of Spring? I'm pumped up for this weekend! Last minute preparations for the concert, including the dress rehearsal and sound/formation check will be happening tomorrow so unfortunately the scheduled team for tomorrow's SERA00 Stage will not be performing. Instead, it will be the debut stage of the 8th generation! They will be performing the newly created 00 rank 6th stage! They're the first to get the 6th stage, all the teams are still performing the 5th stage. Performances will feature only the 8th generation as the remaining 7th gen 00 ranks are also attending the dress rehearsal. As usual, the stage features 13 songs, a mixture of singles and stage songs. Here is the setlist and who will be performing each number (assume all if unlisted or if only centre is listed, centre(s) in bold):

Countdown 
The Wind from Yesterday
Wanderlust (single) [Sayoung, Henley]
Bubblegum (unit song) [Katalie, Lychee, Ice, Xue Ling, Romy]
You (single, 00 rank ver.) [Jenna, Liha, Seren, Yuzuki, Emily, Erica]
Stage in the Sky
Repeat After Me
Land of Dreams (single) [Sayoung]
Poisonous
Hallway Rush Hour
It's Cute (solo) [Sayoung]
Paper Airplanes, Paper Boats
Ice Cream (unit song) [Coral, Dolphin, Juhyun]
Piano Keys

The official 6th stage ends with our 31st single "Ethereal Day" and doesn't include Ice Cream, which is from Team Aurora's 3rd stage, or Piano Keys, a song from Team Angel's 4th stage. It's just that they can't perform Ethereal Day tomorrow because it hasn't been released yet but there shouldn't be any problems after that. As the centre of 00 ranks, Sayoung centres most singles. She also sings the solo song "It's Cute". Other 00 ranks who made centre in this stage include Henley for Wanderlust, Katalie for Bubblegum and Jenna for You. The cast members for each song are usually swapped each performance anyways so in the future you'll get to see a variety of combinations of members performing each song.

Look forwards to the new 00 rank 6th stage, and cheer on the debut stage of the 8th generation. And last but not least, please support SERA00!

31st single at SERA00 ON AIR + new unders

Hey everyone!

Our new single, "Ethereal Day" will be SERA00's 31st, and the first performance of it will be at the SERA00 ON AIR: Scents of Spring concert. The concert will take place over two days, May 30-31st. The single will be officially released the following Friday, June 5th.

Ethereal Day is a sweet ballad (I guess that's the current trend with our most recent singles. Land of Dreams and Wanderlust were both slow compared to the dance track On and On). Accordingly, we have Luraland snagging her first centre position in a single since debut! Congratulations~ As well, we have our first SERA00-CASUT00 crossover with CASU's ace and main vocalist Arron taking the lower centre with Sassan. In the case of Arron not performing with SERA00, I'll be filling in for her. Aaand if I'm filling in for Arron then 8th gen Sayoung is filling in for me! That's why her name is in brackets on the discography listing, because she isn't a permanent cast member.

Speaking of filling in for others, our under system was recently scrambled again ("under" is the term for the girl who fills in for you if you're absent). I used to be under for Maya, who was under for Sassan, and my under was Yumichan. Since then, all of us have grown considerably in terms of rank, experience, popularity, etc, and not just us but other members as well, so the unders were redrawn (btw there are only 8 systems with the media members at the top tier). I'm now directly under for Sassan, Yumichan unders for Angel, Maya is at the top tier.

Sassan <= Evie <= Sayoung
Luna <= Geneviève <= Eva
Angel <= Yumichan <= Echo
Harley <= River <= Rome
Maya <= Alyss <= Tang Tang
Luraland <= Rosie <= Sammi
Fracken <= Brindle <= Macey
Kotoka <= Wyoming <= Soracchi

If you're interested (if not I guess you can skip this...or the entire post :p), the "unders" for leadership roles are not the same as the performance unders.

Leader: Angel
Leader (Acting): Luna
Aurora Captain: Fracken
Aurora Captain (Acting): Sassan
Night Captain: Luna
Night Captain (Acting): River
Angel Captain: Harley
Angel Captain (Acting): Geneviève

Please support SERA00! (and also me because I have a French exam tomorrow...on Victoria's Day...Happy Victoria's Day, everyone.)
