Colorful Pop is the second studio album of the Japanese super girl group E-girls. It was released on March 19, 2014 in two different editions.[1]

Background[edit]

E-girls announced their second album before the release of "Diamond Only".[2] The album's covers, track list and release date were later confirmed after the group released the PV for the album's promotional single, "RYDEEN ~Dance All Night~".[3] The album features five previously unreleased songs, including pre-released single "RYDEEN ~Dance All Night~", while the rest of the album featured songs previously released as singles or b-sides. The album also includes a Rock Version of the group's single "Follow Me" from their debut album, "Lesson 1".
