Single Nogizaka46 12th (Taiyou Knock) (15/07/22)

Mmm, the MV seems tailor made for all of all the Ikoma haters

 

How so?

 

i have this thought too
you know, all those hated messages when announced that ikoma is the center of this single

i like the MV, don't really like the song but their dress are nice

 

I really like the PV. Classic Nogi style with beautiful shots however the storyline is a little lacking though...

 

I think Ikomachan had nightmares of Nanamin messing up.








Anyway, was hoping we could get the aerial view of heart formation.

 

^ lol
BTW what did Nanamin said around 02:47?

Anyway i just watched the PV. Basically about Ikoma and her worries (From the haters? Idk)
The PV looked beautiful and the girls are having fun in that 'summer camp' of theirs. I especially like the last few scenes. I don't get why Nanase got a really important role in the PV thought, because she's Ikoma "closest friend" or something?

I really hope the rumor that we are getting Instant Camera's continuation is true. They can't leave the story hang like that! D:

 

That explains why her is the one that trains the most in the MV

 

Is the PV saying that Ikoma is bearing the weight of all the Nogi members on her shoulders? The PV is nice but the song is still generic for me. After watching this I'm fully convinced it's time for Nanamin to be center soon. She looked stunning in this video.

 

at first the song was like average but after hearing it several times I started to like it.
and the pv is better than I expected especially the dance part

 

i really hope that hori will become the center for the undergirls :v

 

I was iffy about the song at first, but now after seeing the live and the full pv, I really really like it

and I never ever thought I'd say this, but Ikoma looked really cute
I don't know if its her growing up a little or the outfits or the confidence of being center again, but I noticed I was looking for her in every scene lol

 

why just Hori or Himetan...

 

Love the PV! The Nogi babes were slaying me with their flawless close ups. Misamisa, Maiyan, Naachan Nanamin. Still not a fan of the song but the PV did make it more listenable.

I'm not picky about UG center but it'd be nice if Hori-chan can get it as a consolation prize for dropping her out of senbatsu.

I guess because the PV seems to be about Ikoma and her "struggles". Not sure what kind of message they would be trying to send though, don't Ikoma anti hate her partly because she was a crybaby and a bundle of nerves? So... they "fight" back with a PV about her... crying and being a bundle of nerves?

 

At first I thought 止めてよ but what she says synced with the lyrics "全ての..." Not sure though.

Hmmm I see. I hope we get a Hatsumori Bemars version.

Yes Nanamin! Get that choreography down!

 

We see Ikoma having nightmare about her dancing as the Center but didn't looked like one (Just my 2cent, but she looked shadowed by the Front Members). So she decided to ran away from her struggles, but something (Nanamin telepathically tells her something? idk) stopped her. The Centers (Nanase-Ikuchan-Maiyan. Idk who the fourth person is) searched for her. Maiyan found and guide her back to the group (Really disappointed that it's not the whole group looking for her at night, it'll give more meaning). So despite her 'nightmares', Ikoma should realize that the group is there to support/help her

 

First ai ai gasa (Love umbrella)

And then this

Did they try to turn Ikoma-chan gay?

 

They are "a really good friend"
But i honestly don't get the umbrella cover. It would be better if it's Ikoma solo shot, without an umbrella . Kinda like this cover probably my fav 46 cover to date

 

On the MV, I like the filming. the scenes were beautifully filmed & feels very serene. ^ ^

I do feel that it focuses too much on Ikoma tho lol, but that's prolly a preference thing. The story feels too simple for me as well, compared to previous story-driven MVs there's a lot less plot to it.

Now back to regular broadcast. SAITO ASUKA-SANNNN
