I'm getting a very strong HKT vibe lol

 

Good lord.. you guys weren't kidding about that HKT vibe.

 

The song and outfits are so much brighter and more charming than Inochi was overall, this is what I wanted! Not quite at Hashire Bicycle-kami level lol but still good

 

I think the song's ok, reminds me of the first nogi singles, as expected since it looked like what they're going to go for since the announcement of the senbatsu.
I think the costumes are very pretty.
What bothers me is that the reviews here are so bad that I wonder how bad management wants to screw Ikoma over.........

 

The costumes are pretty good for me i love blue color.

 

i dont think japanese fans are bother that much about the song. they pretty much arent choosy bout song but rather only care about their oshimen.

 

So much for a Summer single, the seifuku is deep blue and gives out fall/winter feeling instead (Or maybe this 'cooling' vibe is intended? idk). Seriously, Management? Their casual Mickey like seifuku fits more :/

 

Did I hear HKT Suki Suki Skip there?
Damn, this is far below than NatsuNoF&E can be

The costume that Ikotan wore is cute, though..

 

song is bad,costumes are cute
will wait for the coupling songs,hopefully they will be kami level to make up for the bland a-side

 

I love this song too, yes it's beautiful song..
can't wait the coupling and MV

 

They should have used this costume!

This song would be wonderfully bright

 

Are Nogi outfits also designed by Shinobu? (stupid question sorry)

 

Do Japanese nogi fans find the song bad as well? Just curious if the cute song bashing is exclusive to stage48 only.

 

In that case, it literally the song will became HKT's 12byou 2.0

 

From what I heard many people seem to like it because it's bright.
No one has conducted a poll yet. So I don't really know the number (and I also think it is impossible to know)

if the video does not show watch the video here
According to this one, it got 662 likes and 20 dislikes.

It is cute though. I don't mind

I don't know about this either. Waiting for the answer too
But I doubt Shinobu would be the one.

 

Yes, I would say their comments are on par with here. There are some that like it but many seemed annoyed that it is very 48Gish. Their HKT style costume is adding fuel to the fire. I'm not bothered with their costume, although it looks very similar to the HKT one, just the song isn't really Ngzk style that fans are used to. Everyone is hoping the coupling songs can "save" this release.

 

Wow the instrumental is really beautiful!!! The actual song is so-so~ But it's still better than "Natsu no F&E"!!
Costumes are very pretty but i wish they used more vibrant and hot colors~ Or at least...pastel lol

Ah...seriously the instrumental is very beautiful~

 

About costume similarities with HKT48, too bad the colors makes it look similar, but design wise it's very different. Nogi costumes are more the loose flare dress type, whereas HKT one is two-piece with short and stiff skirt. It looks much better than HKT imo.

 

Okay, now that I finally had a proper listen to the song, I'm starting to really liking it. :3

 

the costumes are a mess, dat HKT vibe, and the excessive amount of accessories and drills make the whole thing look much much worse

bad song, bad formation, bad costume

what next, this is so going down as my personally worst Nogi single ever

already skip this one but here i thought there would be something that might save this mess, guess not

Garuru was generic but it was truly summer, the PV was beautiful, the song was actually fun and bright unlike this mess, Natsu had that amazing guitar thing going on so it was OK A-side wise, but Taiyou is just bland, boring and monotome
