    What a group! Great singing. Full, energetic, stable sound. Top-class. It's on YouTube now, too. 『ときめき草』 "Tokimekisou". Seems to mean "the herb of a throbbing heartbeat." There's a line in the song: "The flower of the tokimekisou blooms." Sung by full senbatsu.

    Here are the Japanese lyrics, as transcribed by someone on 5ch. The song is about falling in love with someone you thought was just a friend.
    『ときめき草』
    1.
    無意識に上った階段は
    何段あったなんて 覚えてないだろう
    過ぎ去った日々の僕達は
    どんなこといつも語り合った?
    そんな関係が楽だった2人なのにthe flower
    違う気持ちに気づいたんだ

    ときめき草の花が咲いたよ
    心のその片隅に
    友達じゃいられない 特別な存在
    日差しの中微笑む君に
    ハッとしたその瞬間
    初めての感情が胸の奥でそっと揺れていた

    2.
    どうだっていい日常の一コマ
    何かの意味があるんだ
    あの時君と会ったこと
    今やっとわけがわかってきた
    古い友達のひとりと誤解してた
    異性として見れないのは早すぎたんだ
    まだつぼみで

    ときめき草は好きになり草
    春がまた巡って
    ほのかな愛しさは華やかになるはず
    過去のどこかにヒントはあるよ
    未来に何が起きる
    ようやく咲きそうな恋の花をそっと守りたい

    ねえもっと (ねえもっと)
    そう早く (そう早く)
    君のこと 好きになってたら
    告白も もうしてたか

    ときめき草の花が咲いたよ
    心のその片隅に
    ときめき草は好きになり草
    春がまた巡って
    ほのかな愛しさは華やかになるはず
    過去のどこかにヒントはあるよ
    未来に何が起きる
    ようやく咲きそうな恋の花をそっと守りたい

    EDIT: But wait, there's more!

    From Rekomen radio, Footsteps, by Ayaka-Kumi-Mirei-Katoshi-Nao:


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    I think that may be Aya-chan's voice first. People are praising it. And Nao-chan's sweet, gentle voice is being praised, too.

    @hiraganatwice, @Hamasaki90: According to this page on the official site, both Tokimekisou and Footsteps will have MVs, along with Kyun and Joyful Love. But that news item is only in the Keyaki site news and isn't, for some reason (probably error), included in the Hinatazaka official site news or discography.

    Here's a pic of the Footsteps group from Debut Countdown Live:

    Note here as elsewhere (in the Kyun MV, for example) that members aged under 18 wear white vests (gilets?) instead of blue ones with this outfit.

    I should said this,
    JOYFUL LOVE MV is so pleasing to see, i hope they make this MV totally in 1920x1080 or more,
    and without that black bar on top or bottom of the video when we play it..

    this will be a great MV, so colorful. like a sweet to my eyes!!!

    ^ Well, it's already in '1080p' and in 'anamorphic widescreen' (where the video is intentionally ~21:9 'ultrawide' (1920 x 816, 2.35:1) - yes, there are 'ultrawide' monitors out there - with black bars on top and bottom of a 16:9 (1920 x 1080) video)...

    I like all the songs that I've been able to find around the web so far. Joyful Love's MV is outstanding. I really like the visuals.

    I also like that despite Kosaka being the center of Joyful and Kyun, I think the MV is more or less balanced, giving most of the girls some screentime. I hope that they'll continue this approach and that Hinata will not fall into the trap of "eternal center" like Keya. They have lots of girls with previous center experience, so I hope they'll have a more rotating center, while still emphasizing that this is a group, not a solo act, and give all of the girls some time to shine.

    Again, I see lots of Nogi in Hinata. Their cute-yet-elegant aura is pleasing. Their costumes are really nice, too!

    I think Hinata has a bright future. Fingers crossed!

    My experience from 48Group, Nogi and Keya stuff is no, only the ones with blu-ray (or DVD) do, and generally only the first press editions (so if you pre-order you're basically safe). I can't remember how it was with their album though, maybe someone else can.

    I understand that sometimes first press comes with photocards. But I mean the inside(?) Like the inside package of the CD?

    Are you thinking about the small leaflet with lyrics and stuff, that sometimes comes with pictures? I haven't experienced those being more than just lyrics (no pictures) for singles. If you mean something else, then I'm not really sure what you're talking about sorry :(

    I never realized just how healing Nao’s smile is! I think that may be my favorite mv of this single so far. Hina really is on such a sunny path, I’m sure this single will do really well

    Tokimeki Sou MV is just good.:1st: I like the setting and costume. And, Takahiro made the dance. It is not surprising. The movement is so his style.
    - The MV display some coolness, but Hinatachans carry it out with smile. And, it created unique effect, which I loved.:1st:
    - Miho scene when she throw chair while smiling is scary. It's like you are doing violence with smile. But, i like it!:1st:
    - Kumi and Toshi couple made my heart skip a beat. :inlove:
    - MeiMei dance scene in monitor room is just epic. I'm getting goosebump.:1st:
    - Kumi and Toshi dance scene too is amazing. They seems like possesed.:1st:
    - Miku jump!!! :1st:
    - I like the scene when member run on top of car. I can feel their freedom.
    - The drenched Manamo is just :nosebleed:
    - I like Kawada-san jeans!!! :1st:
    - Nao is also mesmerizing. I like her smile and serious face. And, her uniform reminds me of Majisuka Gakuen 1st season uniform.:inlove:
    - I also like the scene where they show Mirei and the sun. It is just so Hinata-ish.
    - And, of course, Memi looks amazing here. Beautiful, and when she dance, it show some coolness and elegance. Love her so much.<3<3<3
    There are some minus points, such as in some part, their dance isn't well-synchronized. But, overall, this MV is really satisfiying. :1st:

    One more thing. I thought they use double center, because on the first scene, I can see Toshi and Kyoko in the middle of formation. :D

    Now, I'm waiting for lyrics translation to know, if every scene in this MV depict the meaning in its lyric.

    Wow. The MV is amazing! Toshi and Kumi as a couple (i think), Kyoko was absoulutely stunning. I freaked out a second at Hinano during the lipstick scene because I saw Neru for a split second:^^;:
    Manamo drenched :cute::cute:
    Miku's running, Kosakana's smile, this song could have been an A side!!

    Apparently the song was almost the A-Side but imo as beautiful as it is I’m happy they went with Kyun. I love love the MV it’s so beautiful. I even forgot Nao was the centre with the amount of screen time the other members were given. Only minus would be the choreography. I’m not fond of the Takahiro style so it put a depressing damp on the other hand positive elegant tone of the MV.
    Loved the Kyoko and Hinano scene.

    After listening to it, I even thought that Tokimeki Sou could have been reserved for their 2nd single a-side.
