Single Keyakizaka46 8th [Kuroi Hitsuji] (2019/02/27)

I thought Techi was intentionally going for that gracefully contained approach. Worked for me. But maybe it's an injury.

This song reminds me of Parco, in that there is a wide divergence of opinion about an unusual, somewhat old-fashioned song. Watching it again a couple of times, I get more and more enthused about the MV.

 

I'm a Keya lover, but I just couldn't help hear in my head "...Nobody but you"... (Wonder Girls)

 

Next Friday, a special performance on M-Station! First TV performance of Black Sheep, five days before release.



Also on that show: Sekai no Owari (whose Stargazer MV Techi appears in).

 

I feel like they really went for that k-pop style for the Nobody MV. The choreography is seductive—the key is the hip movements, which is a main characteristic of pretty much all k-pop girl group choreo. Aki-P has really been trying to snatch that korean/international audience. I feel like the k-pop vibe doesn't suit Keyakizaka46, but for a B-side I guess it's acceptable.

Also the MV is way too Techi-centered. I mean, yes, she is the center, but I could barely catch the other members. Would be nice if the screentime were more evenly distributed.

 

anybody have keya's mv screentime distribution statistics from first single up to now? would really like to know if the screentime is getting worse or always been the same

 

Only by watching, I think it's getting worse. But yeah, it would be nice to see the statistics.

 

I only found the 8th single's screen time

Being too focused in screentime would kill the concept of the video. The idea of comparing the screentime distribution to see its progress sounds like a nonsensical attempt.

Sorry for the spicy comment, I just don't know why sometimes in a good video people still try to find its bad side. Besides, no need to worry about members' screentime in Keyakizaka, because every single one of them have been in front row at least once and have a good, solid screentime.

 

Well yeah, but that's how you get "Jurina and co.", "Sayanee and co.", etc. Other members have a chance to be up front, yes. But they doesn't give them proper chance to shine.

 

Everybody's right. It all depends how much you like Hirate's work. If you think it's stunning and outstanding, then you can't de-emphasize her. That's how I see her. But the opposite opinion is justifiable, too: that she's good but not great. And it's true that a huge star can block the progress of those around her.

But management looks at sales figures -- which really have been amazing with Hirate, right from the start of a new group -- and holds on. They also have their own judgment and listen to the judgment of other entertainment pros, a goodly number of whom seem to think she's something special.

As for time on-screen, I think that's hard to judge in an objective, numerical way. How close to the camera do you have to be to be "on-screen"? Can you share "on-screen" with one other person? Two? Ten? The only way is just to watch the MV's and make a subjective judgment, I think. It seems to me (subjectively) that the complaints about screentime really started around Fukyouwaon and the screentime division has been more or less consistent since then.


EDIT: Someone has posted their estimate of Techi's schedule over the next couple of weeks:

ok this made me really happy

 

I LOVE IT The song really brightens up my day.
And how can Moriya look so pretty while swimming? Wish there could've been a Yuuka underwater scene as well.

Spoiler

SO SWEET I've always thought this captain/co-captain pair was one of the most stable friendship/bonds within the group

Does anyone know what the two say in the beginning of the MV?

 

Good MV by Yuukanen

 

Thank you
for the alternative link

 

Heel no Taka-sa is a nice music video. both look very beautiful especially moriya's water scenes in the beginning. i find the camera angle/perspective to be interesting at some parts.

 

Beautiful PV! I personally love the PV for Heel no Taka-sa more than Nobody, but both are nice

Also, I find it interesting that even though the PV is mainly a horizontal video, there are scenes which look good if we watch it as a vertical video. Sorry if it's confusing, I can't really explain it in English!

Since Moriya's role in Kuroi Hitsuji is a female worker, I can feel the connection between Heel no Taka-sa and the former. But maybe it's just me.

 

err.. it sounds and looks like 90s-00s jpop.
