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

for some reason I can hear Futari Saison on this song.

 

Somehow I started to believe this single had been planned to be released in December, but for unknown reason they've postponed it into February.

I mean, think about having a Christmas-titled song to be released in late February

 

This makes no sense.
I think the same.
Of course this single, I also think, it was planned to go on sale before.
They don't fit many things.

 

Maybe because of Techi injury they had to delay the release

 

Someone posted a video (September last year), check page 10 of this thread, from outside a building with kuroi hitsuji playing and a scream (probably they were recording the MV). So I think it is true that they probably intend to release this last year, but delaying it due techi injury, ambivalent record Taisho nomination, etc. Probably this is why new keyaki dan hinata members are not included in the single.

 

New music video alert: "Gomen ne Christmas"

So that leaves with the Hiragana Keyaki Hinatazaka46 music video (Kimi ni Hanashite Okitai Koto) to come out?

 

I really like it! It's super cute yet still has that cool image kanji has.
Awkward dancing 10/10

 

it's okay. i kinda appreciate that it wasn't super christmas-y? the christmas tree was modest and there's a theme of red (lipstick, beret, doorway, strawberries, flowers). i like the ending scene the most with the snow and bed.

 

I reallyyy love the song and mv.
It’s a little more fast pace Bathroom Travel, which i enjoy. They all look so cute, and I can clearly hear and see Oze

 

Great MV not from what i expected.They really are members of keyakizaka who famously know how to show their deep facial expression.The gap when they on keyakake and on MV are totally different.everyone mesmerize me. Rika as usual her visual on top and uemura just to cute to handle ....

 

There's a current of thought in Japanese comments that Aki-P has lost interest in Keyakizaka and is concentrating on Hinata. I think the excellent MVs for Heel no Takasa and Gomen ne Christmas tend to disprove that. In fact, I'm blown away by both songs. Sugai and Akanen are terrific, both vocally and visually. And Muu is finally getting a chance to fully show her looks.

 

I wonder how much they've been rehearsing and stuff for Kuroi Hitsuji, especially Yuuka because she was also rehearsing for stage play (which her stint in it started yesterday in Japan) during breaks for lessons and after lessons.

So Sugai died and Moriya is coping. Is that right?

 

We don't know for sure. There's so many ways you can go about thinking about this MV. But if we go off the book it was based off of, and what they've said (particularly on a video from Moriya's mobame), we can deduce that Yuuka died in the MV because the character she was portraying in the book died by drowning. I don't actually know if Nen's trying to cope with her death.

[I have an alternate theory about this MV that I may or may not disclose later oo]

 

Gomen ne Christmas MV is what my heart needed and have two couples on it NaakoPe and UeOze.

wow almost sold out!!!

 

Ozeki, Uemuu, Pe and Naako unit is called “Shoujo Friends”
https://twitter.com/tsukitter5/status/1098083047767891968?s=20

 

Somehow it's a fitting name considering Berika and Naako love shoujo manga

 

So thankful that the even usual HS stragglers are quickly selling their slots. I hope Nijika is able to sell out the remainder of hers by the end of sales!

I wonder if the slots will increase to 30 for the next single, considering that the Hinata girls will no longer contribute.
