SWEET STEADY – YAKIMOCHI (Music Video)

SWEET STEADY, one of the idol groups under KAWAII LAB., released the music video for YAKIMOCHI this Friday.

Both songs from this single had already been released digitally. Good Job! came out on April 28, along with its music video on YouTube. YAKIMOCHI was released digitally on June 11, but its music video was only published a few days ago, coinciding with the announcement of the new CD.

According to the description of the video on YouTube, the song is about “that annoying but adorable feeling of jealousy.” Apparently, the title YAKIMOCHI itself means jealousy. A new Japanese word learned today. But that’s not all—each member of the group shared a short comment in the description with their thoughts on the song.

Here’s a summary of each member’s message:

Ayumu Okuda (奥田彩友)

She loves the puffy cheeks that look like mochi in the music video and wonders if everyone feels the same way when they’re jealous. She invites fans to enjoy that squishy, adorable feeling together with her—a play on the word mochi and the song’s cuteness.

Yui Otoi (音井結衣)

The song expresses a love so strong it makes her a little jealous. It’s full of kawaii charm, and she wants fans to see and fall in love with all the jealous little sides of the members.

Natsuka Kurita (栗田なつか)

She points out that not only the sparkly, cute parts but also the sulky, jealous moments are lovable. She asks fans to pay attention to that too. Also, she mentions that the singing in this track is closer to speaking, showing a different side of the group.

Rise Shiokawa (塩川莉世)

She’s happy that YAKIMOCHI is finally out and feels the MV is packed with SWEET STEADY’s cuteness. She jokes that fans shouldn’t make them jealous and should keep their eyes on the group only.

Mayumi Shiraishi (白石まゆみ)

She says all the members are cutely jealous this time. She encourages fans to share their favorite scenes. And even though the song is called YAKIMOCHI, she says, “Don’t make us jealous, okay?”

Nagisa Shoji (庄司なぎさ)

She asks fans to pay attention to the cute jealous reactions the members show toward each other. She also mentions they’re all looking forward to comments, so fans should share their impressions and favorite moments.

Sakina Yamauchi (山内咲奈)

She jokes that making them jealous is NG (not allowed), but fans should enjoy all the adorable jealous expressions in the video. She hopes everyone falls in love with YAKIMOCHI.

The group’s first physical single, Pajama Party! / Diamond Days (ぱじゃまぱーてぃー！ / ダイヤモンドデイズ), was released in December last year. Besides the songs from these two singles, SWEET STEADY has also released several digital singles. But fans had to wait more than half a year for this new physical release.
