Album Nogizaka46 2nd (Sorezore no Isu) 16/05/25

First listen opinion:
The album is rich in music genre. Wow. Nuff said.
My bet everyone will have their fav song. And it's definitely not based from their oshi, which is good.

Can't say my fav yet. But I have filtered out Kougousei Kibou from the list. Yup, I'm excluding my oshi song. lol.

 

After listening to all the new songs.
Kikkake is the best.
Followed by
Kuchiyakusoku
Kanjou Rokugousen
Kougousei Kibou
(My favorites)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then,

Kakikoori no Kataomoi = Koishitara, Kae wo Arae!
Kuukikan
Yokubo no Reincarnation
Taiyou ni Kudokarete
Teitaion no Kiss
Threefold Choice


All in all, The album is pretty good.

Kikkake is just so good! It's that good that I regret this song is not a title track for a single but instead an album song. Gosh I wonder what kind of MV it will have if it's in a single.

I like almost all songs. But to be honest I tend to skip Threefold Choice once it appears on my playlist. The male bzztak bzztak part turns me off hahaha

 

My least favorite song happens to be Yokubo. The next one is Kuukikan. Maybe I still need some time to let them grow into me.

 

Well, y'know everyone has different tastes in music. Lol

Agree with you.
Kikkake is single material, unfortunately this song is just too much like Kimi no nawa Kibou.
It's like Kimi no nawa Kibou ver. 2 Lol.

 

First week official count for Sorezore no Isu is roughly ~275k (subject to rounding). (Obviously #1 )

Nogizaka46's 2nd Album (Sorezore no Isu) (1st Week Sales)
Week 1: 274,873 (1st)

(Copying ForestFuller's cues right here)

Told you "subject to rounding." Not exactly 275,000 but 274,873 (274.8 -> 275, three significant figures, rounded).

 

Let us know how it goes! People don't post their experiences here as often as they do in the AKB section so I'd be interested to read what happened.

 

Please do give my regards to Nogizaka46-chan... They're all amazing young ladies.

 

Kikkake is growing on me so much. This Sugiyama guy must be like the King of Kamikyoku, he also wrote Seifuku no Mannequin, KimiKibou, Boku ga iru basho, Hane no Kioku....

I also really like Yokubou, Kuukikan and Kakigoori. I really hope we get to see a performance of Kakigoori sometime. The only song I really don't like is Ikuchan's solo, I hate that rock style that sounds like a boring animation song haha.

 

My current favorites are (in no particular order): Kikkake, Kougousei kibou, Threefold choice, Teitaion no kiss (Ikuchan ROCKS!), Koishitara kao wo arae (love the bass line!), Kakikoori no kataomoi, kanjou rokugousen, kuchiyakusoku.

If forced to narrow down the list, I'll put Kikkake, Kougousei kibou, Teitaion no kiss and Koishitara kao wo arae as my top choices.

 

Ah really? I just realized it.
Wow, so all those goddess song is his work?
Ok then, I look forward to his next work for Nogi. haha

Application is over after this week I think, so even tho asuka & ayane still might sold out their last block in this week's round, as far as the data we can see are concerned this is their final number lol :/

 

Only 5 rounds? Is that normal?

 

7 rounds planned for now

I don't follow handshake events that closely since I can't go to them, but is 245 open slots with 2 rounds left normal? This also makes me sad since my favorite members all have one or less
