Single CGM48 Third Single [Mali] (TBA)

On February 9th, CGM48 announced their third single "Mali" (มะลิ). The release date is yet to be announced.

Senbatsu (16 Members) (Kaning Center)

• Team C: Izuta Rina, Punyawee Jungcharoen (Aom)
• Trainee: Chayanan Jedpeenongruamjai (Milk), Jirattikan Tasee (Pepo), Kodchaporn Leelatheep (Champoo), Manichar Aimdilokwong (Marmink), Napassanan Thambuacha (Angel), Nattarika Boontua (Nena), Phitchayapha Supanya (Nenie), Pinpana Saengboon (Ping), Pronwarin Wongtrakulkit (Pim), Pundita Koontawee (Fortune), Ravinda Alan (Jayda), Sita Teeradechsakul, Vithita Srasreesom (Kaning), Wacharee Danphasukkul (Punch)

It will be CGM48's first original song/single. It makes them the group with the earliest original single out of all international sister groups. Technically, not even BNK48 has had an original single so far (but they have had original songs, digital singles and album a-sides).

 

oh wow an original song! i've kind of been getting into bnk lately so this is a good starting point for me to get into cgm as well

 

I thought BNK's original songs sounded really good, so I'm very excited for this single as well ^^

 

Teaser dropped! (full MV dropping on the 21st)



So pretty

 

This sounds so beautiful. The storyline and a bit of the instrumental kind of reminds me of AKB songs (I can’t place which ones right now tho). I also love how Thai48 incorporates so much of their culture. As someone who’s recently starting to learn Thai, I love to see it.

 

Full MV

 

I love it. It's so, so good.

 

I love this song so much!! They did really well. I know nothing about Thailand, I have to admit, but the instrumentals remind me of it so much anyway. It's super pretty and the girls are amazing and it just sounds so cool!

I went to CGM48's Spotify page because I wanted to see if it had been released fully yet, but no. (Do we know the release date yet?) I came across this though and was wondering if anyone could translate the title for me and tell me what this about? Like where it's from (a drama, movie, etc?)?

^Google translates the tilte to "go on"

The songs seems to be an OST to a movie: https://www.dailynews.co.th/article/831902

Spoiler: Some google translate gibberish

I love it! It's very Thai, yet VERY J-Pop, specifically, VERY AKB48 golden era. If they made a Japanese version and took out the Thai instruments, I'd identify it as an AKB48 within the first 10 seconds. THE most on-brand 48 Group Original Song from any international sister group so far. Very pleasantly surprised by CGM48.

 

I really like the melody of the song. It is different from other 48Groups songs. I think the MV looks beautiful. I love that they incorporated traditional dance.

 

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE FUSION OF TRADITIONAL MUSIC WITH THE J-POP SOUND AND KEEPING THE MINT COLORS IN THEIR COSTUMES! It was so pleasing to my ears, I loved it! Here's to hoping BNK48 also gets to perform it!

 

i was surprised. its sounds so much like jpop. I liked it very much. Hopefully they can release more original singles like this because its nice to see the international sister group have their own style.

 

Ah I love this so much! I’ve said this before with JKT’s original song & BNK’s original songs, but I really hope this leads to more originals for both BNK & CGM. The original songs are always so wonderful.

 

It's on Spotify for me now! I think it was released after midnight because it says "22nd March 2021" as the release date ^^ I'm really happy, I feel like I'll be streaming this song loads! It's really amazing

 

I don’t know if anyone else noticed this, but I thought some of Mali sounded like Japanese. The lyrics on Apple Music show that the end of the chorus actually does contain Japanese. I really hope they release a Japanese version or another group does a Japanese version.

 

Yes, it contains the phrase '咲き続けよう (Saki tsudzuke you)' - Keep blooming/let's bloom!

 

Crikey, THIS is a hell of a treat. An entire performance from Central Festival Chiangmai a couple of days ago featuring the first performance of the single, and the girls watching the MV for the first time.

 

Absolutely captivating.
