Album Hinatazaka46 1st [Hinatazaka] (2020/09/23)

omg Kamimura in row 2 for first time
I saw people talk too much about Miku's position, but i think she deserves it She is very good at variety

 

Congratulations to miipan!!! also hinano in second row... is management ready to push her?

 

YES !!! MIIPAN !!!

 

Awww yeaaahh Miipan centre! She's back, baby! Sure, it's not a single, but it doesn't matter. I'm over the moon! Seeing the Kyoko-Shiho-Mirei trio reunited at the front just feels right to me. I do wish that Mirei was between those two, but I guess they didn't want to move Nao too far from the middle. On the other hand, it puts Nao beside Miku, who management seems to be pushing as her partner and one of the group's aces going forward. Which I'm all for, since I'm a huge fan of Miku.

I'm sad about some of the back row decisions, but as always, somebody has to stand there. At the very least the choreographers and MV teams have been pretty good at distributing the spotlight up to this point, so it's not the hugest thing... but still.

Anyway, Miipan centre hell yeah!

 

Good formation but looks like Kyoko and Shiho not in symetrical formation again , I'm happy with NaoMiku combi on the same side but for me its better to make:
Kyoko, Nao, Miipan, Miku, Shiho
Or
Nao, Kyoko, Miipan, Shiho, Miku

It will be more balance (for me)

But, anyway Congrats Mipan for being center for first album of Hinatazaka

 

Happy about getting a Mirei center! Also happy they're giving Nao a break, especially after hearing what she thought about it. I'm glad they kept her in 1st row though, she's definitely a front member.
Kamimura in 2nd row is a well deserved promotion. My only disappointment is Takamoto in 3rd row. Hopefully she'll be back in 2nd (or 1st) for the 5th single.

 

I'm so happy for Miipan! Well-deserved.

Cheers!

It is a nice song. I love the key and tempo change part when entering the chorus part. the song itself gives some summer and happy vibe. It's energized me, honestly. I like it.
As for other songs in this album, I hope there are songs that have a similar vibe or genre like Mama Dress or Mado, a song with a "jazzy" vibe. I think this is one of the Hinata B-side trademark sounds, which I really like.

 

LOVe it, such happy/genki vibes and ahhh feels like a 100% summer song

 

And this is the main track from the album?

 

Yes, this song is this album main song.

 

I've been waiting for a Mii-pan center since 'kitai shitenai jibun', I liked her a lot in that song.

I like this new song from what I heard so far. Looking forward to the MV.

Very cute lyric (bruhh...) , can't wait for MV.

 

Waiting for Hina’s return to front row. Management don’t seem to realise her massive potential.

 

Great song, great formation, great center, great members. I smell another hit

 

The lyrics were written from the guy's perspective, right? How he was in love with the girl or fished by/fell for the girl's gesture/act/habit. If the MV show this kind of scene, I think it will be super cute!!!

The album's title is "Hinatazaka" in all hiragana.

Tbh, I don't really have any thoughts about the title, it's just ok in my opinion. Not bad, but not great either. I'm kinda wondering if the hiragana-usage points to them including the rest of the hiragana keyakizaka songs that were after Hashiridasu Shunkan? I have nothing that points to it btw, just a thought.

 

Personally I don't like it. I wish they'd just move on from the Hiragana Keyaki time.
