S/mileage’s 10th single titled Dot Bikini has been announced.
It will be released in 5 different editions: Regular and Limited D (CD); Limited A, B and C (CD+DVD).
I wasn’t expecting to hear a new release announcement from S/mileage so soon since it feels unreal that they have already released 3 singles with the new members, but I’m really excited about this news since it’s S/mileage’s 10th single in the first place, and since it’s another great opportunity to see what kind of wacky/original/cute theme they’ll come up with this time, knowing that every single release they have had had a special theme featured in the PV, the song, the outfits, etc…
When I first read the title and as many fans have already mentioned, it reminded me of the song Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Pola Dot Bikini since the last 2 words are exactly the same and the melody jumped right into my mind, and many are starting to wonder weither the girls will pursue the theme of the single like all of their previous ones and wear bikinis or have them wearing bikinis in the covers or as outfits, but all I can think of is a nice summery setting for the PV and a fresh song with such a title since details concerning the outfits will come later on as time goes by, and we’ll by then know if they’ll actually be wearing bikinis or not (even though I think that the bikinis could be used only for the cover and one group shot in the PV).
Apart from that, not many information has been released apart from the title and the release date, and I think it’s a really smart move for S/mileage to release a single in May with the titled Dot Bikini since it’s possibly going to be a summery song and May is the time of the year when the weather starts getting hot and everyone is anticipating summertime.
The release date is set for 5/2.
