Klaxon de I love you MV



Teaser:


Full:


Comemorative release live

 

And since it's Nako's last, the possibility of another solo center is high. Though the video anouncement may suggest NakoMiku.
And who knows if the management won't take another path with NakoMikuNappi trio or someone totally unexpected.

 

In the schedule for the online talks for this single it says that Nako will only participate in the first pair of dates on 3/18 & 19:

She won't be in any later online talk events nor in the two 'in-person' meetings in May and June. (The wording is maybe a little vague about those two later events but I've checked the list of members scheduled to appear at each one and Nako's name doesn't appear.)

 

Eiko no Labyrinth song:
Klaxon de I love you! (クラクションでI love you!)

I actually hope it's Nako solo center

 

1st MV arrived in OP

 

A teaser for the MV of the main track 'Kimi wa Motto Dekiru' will be released at 21:00 JST tomorrow with the full MV on 1/16, also at 21:00 JST:

Also the first half of the senbatsu members will be announced at 20:00-21:45 JST on 1/14 with the second half 24 hours later.

(@lionel90 I've asked the mods to change the thread title)

 

With this 2 half senbatsu anouncement, i wonder if it doesn't mean W center with 1 of them in each part ?

 

1st half is currently (slowly) anounced on Twitter (updating OP)

Notice the setting in a classroom or a theater

 

Or a church ^

 

I really hope that we get one final NakoMiku song on this single

 

Either of the type A/B exclusive should be Nako's graduation song.

EDIT
Let's not forget Aoi

 

Glad there are 2 6 gen members in senbatsu and I hope someone else gets to center at least 1 b-side. I really liked 6 gens I hope they start off strong

 

It turns out that Takeda Tomoka was supposed to be selected, but she has health issues

Get ready for the mv

 

The CD covers have been released:

Nanaka in TOP-3 front position MV&Song is nice

 

Seems as if the group announced graduation from Fuchigami Mai becoming a senbatsu member ever again.

I'm still happy with the lineup, happy about Nako's hair finally having the IZ*ONE touch again & happy about 6th Gen members being included.

I would have never expected the drop of Takeda Tomoka & Sakai Moeka, even if I think the new girl have better potential.

Why didn't they include Kuriyama Rina tho? She never looked prettier than on the Klaxon de I love you MV.

Did anyone notice, that it's also Motomura Aoi's & Watanabe Akari's last single?
