K-pop Girlgroup CrazAngel's Debut Single Titled "I'm Just Me" Is Inspired by Anne of Green Gables

On July 10, 2025, the K-pop girlgroup CrazAngel released their debut single and music video for a song titled "I'm Just Me." Performed by the band's four members, Shannie, Daze, Solmi, and Ahon, the song is inspired by L.M. Montgomery's story Anne of Green Gables. It's a catchy song with a positive message to be confident and to be yourself just like Anne Shirley.

"I'm Just Me" is a remake of a song with the same name that was featured on the original soundtrack album Music from 1908, Avonlea. Anne.

Here are the lyrics to CrazAngel's song "I'm Just Me" in English and Korean:

We are CrazAngel

빨간머리 주근깨에 깡마른 다리
내가 봐도 볼품없는 나
그렇지만 난 늘 언제나 상상하지
언젠가는 나비가 될 나

A N N E with an E
A N N E with an E
A N N E I'm red hair Anne
누가 뭐래도 I'm just me
A N N E I'm red hair Anne
난 자신있어 I'm just me

Walking in the room
Yeah we bout to change the mood
It's just me and my girls
Yeah we do it real loud
Talking bout the prize
Spread your wings now it's the time
Say we're crazy, thank you, maybe
Don't you dare drag me down

너무 걱정하지 마요 매슈 마릴라
지금은 실수투성이지만요
내 안에서 꿈틀대는
또 다른 내가 길을 찾아 줄테니까요

A N N E I'm red hair Anne
누가 뭐래도 I'm just me
A N N E I'm red hair Anne
난 자신있어 I'm just me
A N N E with an E
A N N E with an E
A N N E action packed
And there ain't no turning back
I'mma have to do it my way
Got my freckles and my swag
Ladies ready to react
We gon' have to do it our way

A N N E I'm redhair Anne
누가 뭐래도 I'm just me
A N N E I'm red hair Anne
난 자신있어 I'm just me
난 자신있어 I'm just me

Red hair, freckles, skinny legs
Even I know I don't look special
But still, I always imagine
Someday, I'll become a butterfly

A N N E with an E

A N N E I'm red hair Anne
No matter what they say, I'm just me
A N N E I'm red hair Anne
I'm confident, I'm just me

Walking in the room
Yeah we bout to change the mood
It's just me and my girls
Yeah we do it real loud
Talking bout the prize
Spread your wings now it's the time
Say we're crazy, thank you, maybe
Don't you dare drag me down

Don't worry too much, Matthew, Marilla
I may be full of mistakes right now
But deep inside me, something's stirring
another me who will find the way

No matter what they say, I'm just me

And there ain't no turning back

Got my freckles and my swag
Ladies ready to react

Pullip Anne of Green Gables Dolls

In April 2004, the Korean fashion doll company Pullip released an Anne of Green Gables doll (Item F-516). These dolls were sold through a Japanese company called Jun Planning.

The Anne Shirley doll wears an olive green corduroy dress with a white pinafore or apron, white bloomers and black lace-up boots. The doll's deep red hair is arranged in two braids that are tied with red ribbons, and its face is framed with bangs. It has bright blue eyes and freckles. Also included is a hat decorated with white flowers, a carpet bag, and a doll stand.

Pullip dolls are 12 inches tall. Their articulated plastic bodies are designed on a 1:6 scale, and the dolls have oversized heads that are designed on a 1:3 scale. Levers on the back of each doll's head enable its eyes to blink and move from side to side. The jointed body allows for customization and posing. New collectible dolls are released monthly.

There is also a miniature Little Pullip Anne Shirley doll, but I'm not sure in which years it was released. If anyone has info on it, please let me know.

In May 2012, Pullip re-released the Anne Shirley doll due to its popularity as part of its Regeneration Series (Item RE-814). These dolls were sold through the Korean company Groove (which began distributing Pullip dolls in 2009).

I've only seen the Anne Shirley Pullip doll in photos, and I find them so intriguing looking...a touch charming, and a touch creepy. I hope to one day see the doll in person.
