Yesterday Tomoe Kei, who has been with the group since its inception in 2012, left AOP. Her graduation concert was pretty enjoyable and is still on YouTube until August 5 Japan time. It’s only an hour long, so check it out if you’re interested in the group.
With that in mind, I do still really like AOP and feel that I want to help English speaking fans know about them and their music. So I’ve translated their self introduction song! I wanna make a proper intro post for them one of these days too, but for now, take this. Minus Kei-chan, it’s the current lineup.
First up is the leader, Non-chan (Non-chan!)
She looks cool but she's burning with passion
She's clumsy but straightforward
And she loves cats "Meow~"
Everyone depends on Non-chan (Non-chan!)
Next up is the tallest member
She looks mature and smart but
She laughs a lot, cries a lot, and eats a lot
Leave dancing up to her "Leave it to me!"
Spreading sparkle everywhere, Asahi Yuna! (Asashi Yuna!)
A princess who doesn't need a knight
Accompanied by little rabbits
A lovely rose, s'il vous plaît
"Am I cute today, too~?" (So cute!)
Our pink princess, Kei-chan (Kei-chan!)
A light and flighty little fairy
Easy-going, healing (Hinaki)
She has extensive knowledge, and is properly "I'm thinking about it!"
Please take some happiness
(The truth is...) She's like a big sister, Hinaki (Hinaki!)

We're the Anime Cheering Project
<Though no one asked us to do it!>

Keeping up with anime, that excitement before watching a new series
I want it to continue forever
"I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!"
She says that all the time, does she even know any other words~? "I do!!"
She's got amazing reflexes
And her dance is super sharp "I'm sorry~"
Get done in by her gap, Kojima Rin (Kojima Rin!)
Out of this world ideas! Completely unpredictable? (Hirose!)
Her sparkling smile is dazzling
She's a scatterbrain and it worries us "Where's my phone~?"
With her warm heart
She can make sunflowers bloom, Hirose (Hirose!)
Having the same faves as her is "No way!"
An all-rounder who can do anything well
But she's a fragile hearted crybaby who worries too much
She's great at singing "Aaaah~"
Moodmaker, Hoshiki Seena (Hoshika Seena!)
The sword lover (Yukina)
She loves swords and admires them nonstop "I love you"
Sometimes you see her clumsy side, and it's cute
She's got a youngest child's personality "Tehe!"
Smiling today too, Yukina (Yukina!)
