Single AKB48 54th [NO WAY MAN] (2018/11/28)

this song is so goood I could see a good choreo coming *looking at girls dance in ann*
hope it got a good mv I think it would be perfect ....
but would sakura and nako ever perform the song or they already left?
well I would be mad since it supposed to be their goodbye single ...

 

I've listened to KPOP for 9 years already and this doesn't sound KPOP especially how the chorus sounds.

I like the song but I kind of expected more since they were hyping it to be a dance heavy song. Hopefully the MV delivers!

 

OMG... i'm speechless for 5:18 minutes

MV Quality: 7.5/10
overall + Music : 8/10

tbh, this quite cheap for setup place & property, they shoot more on dance moves & just give an special effect

yeah, at least this one of the best released in 2018 for me

 

i got migraine from watching the PV! T_T

 

I actually really like the MV. I like this effect that they used to make everything grey except the red colours. The editing was pretty cool imo and I hope to see a choreo MV, or at least the girls that perform it at some point inevitably deliver well. The song itself is a bit weak imo (I hadn't heard it until now in case it was released on ANN or smth before) and I expected more K-Pop, cause it still sounds very J-Pop to me, but there's still the Produce 48 B-Side, so I wonder what that's gonna sound like. All in all, I really liked it ^^

 

I did not expect that MV lol It kind of reminds me of a more seizure inducing version of Perfume's Flash because of the empty space.

I may be biased but Naachan did so well and she was in the center a lot.

 

Is sasshi even in the music video? i cant even say half of the senbatsu bc i didnt see them i saw the same ppl over and over i iwshed a little bit more of other members

After a few listens i like the song

 

Umm... I will need to watch the video a few times more before making my mind, but the visuals are good so far.

 

I love the choreo, is the best part. I'm sad that Sasshi is not in, i hope she perform w/ the group.

But, where is the covers?

 

I was trying to find the senbatsu staples and for some reason I couldn't find Sasshi, turns out she's not in the video!

 

CD cover not released yet (?)

 

My first impression after watching it was like "does this choreography even match the song?", the type of messy choreo that k46 usually do but actually is a really good pv and I think it's quite nice they are doing this with the main brand because they are saying to the new fans "hello, akb can also be like this".

The song and pv is way better than Teacher Teacher, at least for me

 

I find it kinda funny that both Teacher x2 and NWM were supposed to look Kpop inspired but they ended up looking like something Hello! Project or another dance oriented Jpop act would put out.
No complains tho, I love that side of Jpop.

 

the MV is wonderful , the best single for me since River and Beginner. I love it! I hope they can perform at leat one time in TV with all of the senbatsu...

 

That............ did not leave a good taste in my mouth

 

oh ok I kind of love it now lol. It's definitely a hype song for me. The chorus sounds great and the choreography looks hella intense. We haven't really had an intense dance like that from AKB in awhile.

 

I think No Way Man video looks cool. The dancing looks messy, which reminds me of K46's recent choreography, but the editing makes it better with sharp transitions between takes and contrasting colors! Unlike K46's Ambivalent video, whose 90% focus is on Hirate, NWM video gives spotlight to members (Yukirin, Juri, Hitomi, to name a few) other than the center (Sakura). This is what I like best

 

Okay, I LOVED the song together with the PV! Not at all what I expected. The only complaints I have are that you really can't see a lot of the members that aren't in front because of how wild everything is and that it looked a bit messy in some parts because there are just so many girls!

But overall I loved it. Even the messiness fit the song? The colors and styling for the girls are super nice and I even like the costume! I really enjoy songs with this kind of aggressive energy, reminds of songs like Beginner and UZA, which are some of my favorites. (and if the worst comes to pass and Sakura won't be able to center this for promotions next month, I NEED Naachan to do it in her place)

 

You can see some of the girls struggling to catch up with the choreo lol.

The video is pretty rad tho. Love the contrast of those 2 colours.
