What a great way to start a year for NMB !! It was such a bop from the first listen. The music video and costume is very NMB as well. Murase Sae seem to get some push from produce and I'm so proud to see her looking so amazing.

 

the song is so good,the pv is too.so happy Saepii is top 3,didn't even expect front row

NMB has the best visuals among 48G and this just proved it

 

Justice for saeppi!
And nice reference from their 1st single.

 

It's a nice song. And very NMB indeed. lol
The throwback to their 1st single in the MV is making me emotional. Just according to management's keikaku, I suppose. lol
It seems they're really selling this single as a 2nd debut (which is what Sayanee said when NMB performed Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo on TV after her grad, iirc).

The music also has some Warota People vibe. Is this the sound AkiP associates with Miru now? lol

The song is decent. It might be a grower for me cause I'm not in love with it. The MV was simple, but good. The throwback was cool tho.

 

according to Oricon (see link above), it is a deliberate tribute to Zetsumetsu kurokami shoujo, and the dance has been choregraphied by the same persone who did Warota people.

 

Saepii rocking the 3rd spot!
Sad that i'm not feeling the song though

 

I am skipping this song, nothing for me. Only glad Miru got her center again!

 

There’s less than a momth and they havent start selling their hs yet?

 

So basically the front line of the A-side?

 

I was honestly shocked Saepy got the push over Nagisa or even Akarin. But of course I'm delighted for her~

Song was kinda forgettable. It also reminded me of Warota People and at least the MV was pretty. Miru is great as center as expected. Minami Haasa has recently caught my eye, though all the D3 girls looked great.

 

So yeah according to PV top three are Miru, Yuuri, Sae and they split senbatsu in front row and last row. Front row with reechan,aayan,nagisa,yuuri,miru,sae,akarin and cocona.
To be honest I'm a bit salty with the massive downgrade in uuka's positions,even though I guess it's just me. I know it's not about fair decisions but pushing the fresh members but cmon, in comparasion with for example reechan, uuka is better than her in everything

 

*except handshake sales

 

Nothing special song-wise, this sounds like Yojijukugo Girls v2.0 for me.

 

The song is cute; definitely has that flare that NMB has been void of for awhile now. But, it doesn’t have that “umph”. There’s no kick to it. And it makes me so annoyed because I want to like Miru as center but she just hasn’t gotten a song that she can really play with. I can tell she’s rather uninspired, as are a lot of the girls.

While the nod to Zetsumetsu was cute, it’s a shame the song didn’t punch me in the face like Zetsu did. NMB has the concept to go big, be grand, be extra but whomever is composing these songs is settling for luke-warm. And Namba is anything but luke-warm. It would be my hope that someday NMB can be given a song that becomes the anthem for Namba. That would REALLY kick-start this “2nd debut”.
