[GENERAL] The Sakurazaka46 / Keyakizaka46 Thread

yeah the honeymoon phase is over, but let's be honest most of the bitching is probably from antis. we see how this forum gets when there is proof of a below average Techi performance, so if there was proof of more the haters would have been a lot more active over the summer

 

Introduction videos are up on K46’s website!

I have my eyes on Takemoto Yui and Yamasaki Ten. Gana baby Kamimura Hinano is so cute too! She really resembles Neru

Everyone’s (fans and members) partying over Hinano at Hiragana lmao She’s going to be so spoiled by everyone fans included

Takemoto is a confirmed dancer!!! I liked her since I’ve watched a bit of her SR and watching her perform behind Techi. Great performer.
Yamasaki Ten is so bright and lively! I like her. She seems like she has knack for variety. She’s so giggle and smiley. She’s born on September 2005... She’s like the youngest in both 48G and Sakamichi combined :O

I’m excited for their perfomance at Budokan and their first appearance on KeyaKake and HiraOshi

 

Hono, Matsudaira
Inoue, Karin, Hinano

I like these short vids format so much.. (as a whole, GanaGen2 intro vids still got a bit more destructive power.. imho )

 

Billboard Japan has announced the Hot 100 ranks 2018 and Keyakizaka46 taken the 5th place on top artist and the amazing 3rd place with Glass wo ware!.



All the information on Billboard-Japan Official website.

 

My impressions of the new girls from the intro vids:
Inoue Rina is energetic and smiley.
Seki Yumiko is really pretty. She looked a bit nervous... When she posed for the phone and then the camera moves and her eyes followed but her face still hold the same expression, she looked scary I felt.
Takemoto with her droopy eyes kinda reminds me of Neru but her gaze is sharp and cool. I'm loving her.
Tamura Hono. OMG she is so smileeeeyy! I'm loving her. Expressive and really pretty in motion. "Hono," her whisper at the end sold the deal for me.
Fujiyoshi Karin is cute and looks to be a little clumsy.
Matsuda Rina is expressive, outgoing and interactive. She would be great in variety.
Matsudaira Rika is a sleeping beauty. Like Seki Yumiko, she looked a bit nervous.
Morita Hikaru is adorable and pretty. I'm liking her. I think she would be a joy around when not holding back.
Yamasaki Ten is cute, giggly, smiley, adorable. She is sporty and energetic, she looks fun! "Ten Ten, Ten Ten." I'm liking her too.
Kamimura Hinano is cuuute. She looked like a bubble of cuteness and adorableness about to burst. "Hinano-nano".

So far from those vids, I love Tamura so much with Takemoto and Ten coming close. I like Morita too.

 

That's really amazing and impressive for me. Congrats keyakizaka46

Dance, sax, taiko.. we got quite talented new gen it seems and all them look cute.
@Ally_ now I understand why you went on and on and on about the new Yui she's good! Probably my fave with Ten Ten () so far. But it's just the start for them, plenty of time ot see them shine and know them better
So far, so good though.

Great results for Keya! Congrats

 

Keyakizaka46 will be appearing on "Music Station's Super Live 2018" on December 21st.

Keyaki's songs are one of their strength point. Even silent majority, their debut single (2016) still on the chart.

 

5 songs in the Top50 its amazing. My baby Fukyouwaon is still there

These intro vids are so cute

 

I can see 2-3 of them centering the future (> 10th single) K46 singles..

 

the new girls can play sports and instruments, definitely a good start

 

Not sure if anyone has translated what the girls said in the intro vid, but WeTriedSubbing subbed the vids here!

 

Thank you @too much idea and other WeTriedSubbing crews. Keep up the good work!

 

That being said, I now wait for the day where one of the girls does both at the same time.

 

TO BE CONTINYUUUDO

 

Q: What can you compare yourself with ?

Tamura: A curtain.



wooa Japanese are really crazy people

 

There are totally unconfirmed rumours on Twitter and 5ch about Kanji shooting an MV. There were apparently similar rumours in September, I believe from Osaka, and now people say they seem to be reshooting in the same place. Theories abound: shooting with some 2gens, since they have proved themselves so capable; shooting without Hirate; shooting to get needed footage that wasn't shot the first time, etc. Reminders of early 2017, when they apparently were shooting in Taiwan...then when Fukyouwaon came out, it had been shot in Yokohama. The theory is that there was some problem with the shoot and they redid it in Japan. This time, it could be totally false (although there are apparently photos, which I haven't seen), or another song altogether. But something may be brewing -- perhaps 8th single in mid January?

I personally think it's time for a Hiragana release, but this would be good, too.

 

This year Kanji has only released 2 singles.
It is possible that a new single will be released at the beginning of the year, so that next year there will be more singles.
I read this rumor on Instagram accompanied by a photo.
