Single Nogizaka46 15th (Hadashi de Summer) (16/07/27)

Really really beautiful, but the song it's just ok for me.
Ashurin, Naachan and Maiyan look stunning; it's very entertaining (Ikuchan "slapping" Nanamin) and has a good screen time balance. And i loved seeing Kiichan-Miona-Himetan together again

 

Yeah, no. Cultural appropriation isn't cute. Gonna pass on this pv, gonna try to look past this when listening to the mp3 of the song tho.

 

song is not bad! but MV... boring... uninteresting

 

I actually love the PV. The color scheme is really nice.

 

Head wear looks funny at best. What's with the feather? Really. Maybe a bonfire could help. As long as it's not bikinis, why not just go all out beach wear? Location, well as mentioned already, muddy colored water is a bit of a let down. Dance, nothing much to say about it. Girls having fun is nice, does have that summer feel to it. Song is likeable I have to admit after listening to it several times and watching the MV, but the full version doesn't do much I think. Gonna smile when I watch this from time to time but not gonna be one of my favorites. On to the next song

 

This is my favorite summer song after Garuru.

 

Things I like: Road trip concept ('sup FFXV), them having fun in a tent and treehouse or something, the pairings (except one below) and their interactions, and the members (that goes without saying).
Things I don't like: the brown beach (they should've scouted some bluer one, it doesn't mix pretty well with Japanese beauties imo).
Thing I'm not really sure: the dance (it's not as energetic as the song, but I've yet to see the live perform), the song itself (probably it's one of those song where you have to listen repeatedly), lack of storyline (not that I hate seeing girls having fun but it's one of Nogi vids strong point imo) and that Kazumin x Reika pairing.

Overall quite summery vid.

 

There is no sound? The add before the video started has sound....

 

^ yes me neither...

 

the mv is okay for me i guess,, hippie girls having fun on the beach... I don't know about you guys but i actually feel that they are really happy in the mv like they are laughing not minding that the camera's on them, especially ikuchan. ikuchan is laughing like there's no tomorrow, hahaha! the director did a good job capturing their happy faces but not the dancing part coz like what everyone said it just looks they are dancing on muddy waters. they could have danced on the sand, with the van on their background.

Also on ashurin's bird costume, I think it is cute,, compared to what paruru's chicken costume that she wore on bokutachi wa tatakawanai mv,

 

works now.i love the native look actually and they look like lost girls in Neverland.i totally dig the mv

 

I think this is the rooftop (Hotel Rycom) from one of the scene in the MV

Good thing that it's not bikini, but overall the video is meh... I don't like some of the slow-motion scene, it doesn't capture the happy summer vibe of the song imo, even their lip-singing looks half-hearted. And the dance seems monotone. Also not sure if it's because they're dancing on the water but they seem too careful and not carefree.

 

Thanks again God, this is not melancholic story driven MV which give zero screentime for 3rd row member. It's cheerful and i can see everyone. I love Ikuchan's smile, she having fun so much, like live action version of Tenchou.

Ashurin so cute and beautiful. And i agree with this,

it's fresh for Nogi's a-side MV collection.

 

pulling off a hippie concept without adding any clothing elements stolen from the Native American culture is possible. overall this MV looks kinda sloppy. the dance is boring, the beach where it was shot is super muddy and not summerish at all, and as mentioned above the clothes are a big no-no. I feel like they shot that one in a rush. the only good point is the proeminence of the 3rd row, that finally gets some exposure.

 

harujion MV was crap so this one is refreshing. The girls are getting more beautiful each days...
himetan only got a second screen time...

 

I LOVE the PV. It's summery, it's classy, it's fashionable... It's basically the canon for Nogizaka46 summer singles. Asuka looks great and so do the rest of the girls, but I don't know how they're gonna do that dance in performances tbh

 

Hadashi de summer sound similar to Victoria Justice - Make it Shine (release in March 13, 2010)

The pv would much better without the "dancing on the mud" scene. The choreo is horrible and the beach doesn't have good scenery. But, the girls look so beautiful especially Maiyan (as usual). I do hope they will change the choregraphy.
