Nanamin hardly ever had a truly weak spot, I think it's very likely that they'll give her spots to the 2nd gen(s) who have a push coming their way, e.g Ranze, or to the 1st gens they want to expose more, [fingers crossed for Hoshimina, but that doesn't seem likely]. as far as the 3rds go, I'd like Riria or Nakamura to fill in her spot
Well, traditionally for Nogizaka's Birthday Lives, they keep formation for the single: senbatsu, unders -- they stay the same as it was for the release. Consequently, it was the 2nd gen kenkyuusei who would fill in for those graduated members or fill out the under's formation. I'm hoping that they'll give some spots to the 3rd gen especially for the latter singles since 2nd gen has been promoted. That's why I want 3rd gen to fill Nanami's spots for Taiyou Knock, ImaHanashitai, Harujion, Hadeshide, and Sayanora no Imi. It would be interesting...
now that you mention it, it wouldn't make much sense to expect one or two girls to relearn all the choreography for a different position... Maybe for the more prominent songs (if I can call them that), you can bring someone up to Nanamin position and have the 3rds replace them in the line up. For other songs they can put a 3rd straight in the Nanamin spot. nothing to do but wait and see how it is handled I guess... Not that I'll see much/any of it anytime soon
True dat. Damn you Sony for not releasing more DVDs of their concerts (fast enough)! Also, can we get a digest video of 3 nin no principal at the least for us 3rd gen fans? Hunh? Please? Sony? SONY! ashdadhfirqhf fkashadh@!!
http://nogizaka46democracy.blog.jp/archives/69139961.html Nogi is decorating Saitama Super Arena. Pictures of every member have been posted. 3rd gens are there, mixed in in alphabetical order with the rest same uniform, too.
I saw that picture this morning and i must admit that it is pretty awesome. There's been glimpses of 3rd gen in the latest uniforms so this is great. it's like they are now members. Management is doing alright by mixing them in with the other gens. Solidarity.
Nogichu will begin introducing the 3rd gens from next week. I was hoping they'd get a full episode to start but apparently not They'll be following the second half of today's segment.
3rd gen performed 3 songs today. M20. Hito wa naze hashiru no ka? (3rd gens) (3rd single B-side) M21. Tsuyogaru tsubomi (3rd gens) (14th single B-side - Maimai solo) M22. Hane no Kioku (3rd gens) (12th single B-side) It's a good exposure
Oh, nice. I would love to see it. It's a shame that I got into Nogizaka, and the 3rd Gen's, before I knew that I need to wait 5 years for a concert DVD
Being in Nogizaka46 is good exposure. It was expected that 3rd gen was going to participate in the Birthday Live just not the form of participation. I was expecting the concert to follow the template of the previous ones: songs in chronological order, and that would've meant 3rd gen participating in individual songs as replacement for graduated members. Nanamin's graduation changed that for the better. With the free flowing Birthday Live it allowed 3rd gen to get some songs all their own. They're lucky so far. Being in Nogi helps. Agreed. Those who aren't able to make it to a concert should be able to catch them in an alternative way whether it be streaming or DVD. We should be able to get that at least.
My favourite part of their little section is that they got to perform Hane no Kioku! It's a great song. And beyond that, lyrics wise, it's a very appropriate song http://stage48.net/studio48/hanenokioku.html
I don't know about Hito wa Naze Hashiru no ka and Tsuyogaru Tsubomi, but Hane no Kioku was centered by Kubo Shiori. And in the last concert day the 3rd gens also got to perform 3 more songs: M19 Harujion ga Sakukoro (Umezawa Minami center) M20 Shiroi Kumo ni Notte M21 House! ...if we don't count Nogizaka no Uta, because it was performed by all gens.
Interesting that 3rd gen got songs intimately associated with MaiMai, Harujion on the second day and her solo, Tsuyogaru tsubomi. I wonder how planned it was for them to get these? Also, I wonder how they did -- if they would've made MaiMai proud with their version. 3rd gen gots to represent!!
Today there's announcement that they add one extra slot for Kubo, Yamashita, and Yoda because they already sold out. Looks like the hype is very real, isn't it. source
Their grow faster than hiragana keyaki... I'm surprise. Since hiragana get more exposures. may be bacause they come in right moment and right treatment, I guess. Glad they are doing so well...
