Oh well more graduation.

Shuffle or at least KKS promotion is a must.......................

 

Hey guys, i know im very late to the party, and that this might not be the best timing to ask this...

BUT I JUST DONT GET IT

Why do people hate the song Kuchibiru ni Be my Baby so badly??

Ive seen so many comments on this forum hating it!!

And to make things worse this is like my top few favourite songs! (Is there sth wrong with me LOL)

Am I missing out on something or is it just each person's opinion?

 

It just happens S48 peeps have more people hating that song. As for myself, it would be Kokoro no Placard which some peeps may also say it's their fav etc.

 

Hmm but do u know why ppl hate that song?

 

umm hating a song always has no legit reasons lol

But you knock yourself out in this thread

First of all, it's all just about opinion and taste. But here is the thing. Some people compare it to 365 nichi no kamihikouki and generally people likes 365nichi more than KnMB, so its better if 365nichi were being the A-side single instead of coupling song of the single. It leads some people to hate KnMB because of that reason.
And also, it was the last single of soukantoku. Many people considered that Takamina deserves a better song than KnMB.
So yeah, BUT it's all just opinion. Cause also, there are many people who actually like KnMB.
Personally, I dont hate KnMB. But there are so many AKB songs that's way better than KnMB in my opinion. I do agree that 365nichi is better than KnMB but I'm also cool with KnMB being A-side back then.

And what about you? Why do you like it, man? There are specific reasons maybe?

 

Just realised that all AKB D2 finally being promoted. Sad to see no Nao and Kira though anyway, congrats girls.

regarding KnBMB, it is okay-ish for me. Even KnP. But it is just many people do not really like those two songs here.

 

@zoeykobe

I think these are the main reasons:

- People thought Takamina is too old to center a cute song, they found it awkward
- People thought Takamina would suit a cool song better and it was her last single too
- The dance in the chorus is a bit awkward, it could have been better
- The outfits were not really pretty
- 365 is the b-side and it's a better song

That's it. tbh KNBMB could have been a nice song, if they used it for another time with other centers (like Mayuyu or Sakura), if they had a better dance, and prettier outfits. I'm sure it would be better received. the song itself is not that bad. and it's ok if you love a song that other people don't like, don't mind it XD

 

I agree with @Mana

I don't dislike the song. It's cute and idolish and whatever.
But Takamina deserved something better, imo.

Her last center before that was Keibetsu, I think.
So a cool song like that might have been better.

The whole Takamina graduation parade was a mess though.
Announced a year in advance, ended up graduating in March of the following year with an appearance in the single right after her graduation one...

 

Hmm i like it cuz its rly upbeat and upbeat songs have always been my thing (i got sucked into the fanbase by just 1 song Heavy Rotation). I am mesmerized by songs like Oogoe Diamond, 10nen Zakura, Namida Surprise, Iiwake Maybe, River, Ponytail to Shushu...basically the very idolish songs, and KnBMB basically was like "finally an idol song".

To go into details, I realized loved the intro and the chorus as its very hype!
(TLDR i like fast, hype catchy songs HAHA)

Hmm i see, thanks everyone for answering HAHA, Im just really surprised and at loss of why people dislike the song, I was reading thru the old threads and I felt like i had to find out why! I can see how Takamina deserved a different style of song, and tbh 365 is also very high up on my list, nearly as high as KnBMB actually.

Once again, thanks for replying and updating this thread! Rly appreciate it haha!

 

I don't remember seeing this here, but around 3 weeks ago, Music Station made a "Music Station Ultra Song Best 100", a ranking of all-time songs, voted by a total of 10,000 people from kids to old people. Some of AKB songs ranked, I will also include some other girl groups' rankings for comparison:

#92 TWICE - TT (Japanese Version) [2017]
#84 AKB48 - Flying Get [2011]
#82 Morning Musume - Love Machine [1999]
#81 Nogizaka46 - Influencer [2017]
#79 Momoiro Clover Z - Hashire! (Z Version) [2015]
#59 Keyakizaka46 - Silent Majority [2016]
#34 AKB48 - 365 Nichi no Kamihikouki [2015]
#16 AKB48 - Koisuru Fortune Cookie [2013]

This was aired during the Music Station episode too. As expected when it comes to hit songs, AKB does well for idol groups. I'm just surprised, Flying Get is on the ranking, but not Heavy Rotation... Heavy Rotation is only one year older and it was a huge hit, they performed it so much like they did with KFC after. so I think it's weird. but anyway, happy to see Flying Get there, one Acchan-center song in the list and of course 365 & KFC, no surprise! It looks like AKB is the highest rank for idol girl groups and the only one with more than one song? Congrats! Other popular girl groups ranked pretty well too.

 

Tamper's wish what lol

 

By the way here is the Okayama MUSIC TRIBE AKB performance with STU performing first half in the clip (and if you notice it's actually pretty pure AKB member formation, so this will what it will look like if we had the pure AKB talk again)
