Single NMB48 9th [Takane no Ringo] (14/03/26)

^ thanks for posting it. I love the dance of Takane no ringo and so it never bored me after watching it 20 times. Nana looks so hot!

 

Great shots by the cameramen there (Except from that awkwardly angled shot of Miyuki at the beginning. Nagisa getting a lot more screen time than others which isn't much of a surprise there. It would have been great if they made the lighting more darker so we could get a nicer view of the lights on the dresses. Sayanee looking like a goddess as usual

 

Latest handshake data is out.

@zeroshiki I thought handshake applications were closed before the single was released?

 

Re-sale yesterday. I think that's the last data we'll ever get because re-sale round 2 is tomorrow and there's no round 3.

 

Ah, so there will be a spike of TnR sales on the chart then?

 

Yups, whenever chara ani gets around to delivering the CDs we'll get a weird spike in the charts. If there's not much competition, Takane no Ringo might reach number 1 randomly that week.

 

Added some corrections to the data above. Honori at 13/13 is super suspicious considering she doesn't sell that much normally and she didn't apply for the elections. For reference, Shimarena also showed a full sellout by round 3 after she announced her graduation.

 

I am so worried about Honori rn. I just want her to say something so the suspense os lessened? I really hope it's not graduation (but i'm assuming the worst rn) ):

 

The fact that she completely ignored the whole thing on her blog and G+ despite pleas by her fans to say something is a big red flag. Its kinda similar to when Momorin didn't apply to the Young Jump gravure thing despite actually winning the last one. She subsequently announced her graduation which answered that question.

There are BⅡ shows on Thursday and Saturday. Thursday is Rippi's grad show so we're probably safe there but Saturday is the big one. I hope nothing happens

 

if the video does not show watch the video here

From AKB48Show!! This is great!!
This song sounds amazing with live singing heheheh.

 

HQ video of the full performance and a perfect camera shot? I can't see it staying up for longer than 2 days, better watch it fast!
Sayanee seemed to be having a bit of trouble with her mic xD

 

AKBSHOW! in full for those who are interested and when the above link gets deleted inevitably. SKE performed Escape so it seemed pretty cool overall.

 

It feels like with the AKBSHOW appearance and the MSte appearance next week they're starting to finally do promotion for Takane no Ringo but it feels kinda late. Oh well, better late than never. I'm excited for the Namba Teppotai 5 performance in a future AKBSHOW. And Nageki Figure too. It feels like they shot that one so long ago.

I will say about the SKE song that the electric piano performance during RH was really cool.

 

not gonna lie, i feel like this single has been totally forgotten by unknown, it's like non-promotion and non-talkabout

comparing this to Kamonegixx, Kamonegixx got performed much much more, this single kinda came and went away in a flash, like wuuutt??

 

Kamonegix released at the end of the year before the 3rd anniversary and then the flood of year-end music specials. The circumstances are different. I don't deny that its very under-promoted though. The last super promoted NMB single was probably KitaKen.

 

Does anyone have the theater version to share?

 

You can usually find the theater editions fairly cheap on ebay and NMB has most of their catalog on itunes if you're just looking for one song.

 

The only reason you'd want the theater version is to get Kasa wa Iranai, I guess.
