This later announcement would eventually be revealed as PIGGS. PIGGS consists of members Pour Lui, UMI, CHIYO-P, BAN-BAN and SHELLME.<\/p>\n<p>During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pour Lui and the members of PIGGS have been living together in an apartment, taking part in daily, live-streamed challenges available on YouTube, with the campaign titled <em>I HATE PIGGS<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>On June 21, 2020, the debut music video of PIGGS, titled \u30e2\u30ca\u30fb\u30ea\u30b6 (<em>Mona Lisa<\/em>) was released ahead of their upcoming debut album <em>HALLO PIGGS<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The video consists of close-up shots of the members Pour Lui, UMI, CHIYO-P, BAN-BAN and SHELLME, concealed as though they are packed away, beneath items scattered across the room, before they are seen emerging from a wooden coffin and finally revealed on a stage where they dance and perform the song. Visually, the video is well-produced, good quality and the colour pallet is appealing to the style, although the actual substance of the video seems more relaxed and independently-made.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a great introduction to the group, their first music video after months of watching their antics and challenges over a live stream.<\/p>\n<p>The track itself is catchy, with calm and relaxed vocals, appearing to showcase the member&#8217;s vocal range and singing ability, the chorus holds a harmony with the members, which you&#8217;ll find yourself singing along to. It&#8217;s a good introduction to show what they are capable of, and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for PIGGS.<\/p>\n<p>So, the question is: Will you HATE PIGGS or LOVE PIGGS?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> 60\/100<\/p>\n<p><em>PIGGS&#8217; debut album <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdjapan.co.jp\/aff\/click.cgi\/PytJTGW7Lok\/4658\/A801684\/product%2FPIGGS-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HALLO PIGGS<\/a> is released on July 1, 2020. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Links to CD Japan is an affiliate link, AVO Magazine gets a small commission (points) per purchased release and buys new releases to review.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When BILLIE IDLE disbanded in December 2019, it was unclear what iconic WACK idol Pour Lui would do next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":45342,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override_template":"0","override":[{"single_blog_custom":"","parallax":"0","fullscreen":"0","sidebar":"","second_sidebar":"","sticky_sidebar":"0","share_position":"","share_float_style":"","show_share_counter":"0","show_view_counter":"0","show_featured":"0","show_post_meta":"0","show_post_author":"0","show_post_author_image":"0","show_post_date":"0","post_date_format":"","post_date_format_custom":"","show_post_category":"0","show_post_reading_time":"0","post_reading_time_wpm":"","show_zoom_button":"0","zoom_button_out_step":"1","zoom_button_in_step":"1","show_post_tag":"0","show_prev_next_post":"0","show_popup_post":"0","number_popup_post":"1","show_author_box":"0","show_post_related":"0","show_inline_post_related":"0"}],"override_image_size":"0","image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"","single_post_gallery_size":""}],"trending_post":"0","trending_post_position":"","trending_post_label":"","sponsored_post":"0","sponsored_post_label":"","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo_enable":"0","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":"3073"},"jnews_social_meta":{"fb_title":"","fb_description":"","fb_image":"","twitter_title":"","twitter_description":"","twitter_image":""},"jnews_override_counter":{"override_view_counter":"0","view_counter_number":"0","override_share_counter":"0","share_counter_number":"0","override_like_counter":"0","like_counter_number":"0","override_dislike_counter":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[3073,2976],"tags":[5667],"class_list":["post-45206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-reviews","category-all-reviews","tag-wack","post_format-post-format-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/63"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45206"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45348,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45206\/revisions\/45348"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
