So stoked at Riria/Runa W-center!

Cheers!

 

Oh ma God! What a gorgeous surprise The type of song that I wold like to sing in karaoke

 

Under song: decent on my phone speaker, and quite enjoyable with proper headphone. I like the bass line.
MV: beautiful. Some parts remind me of Hinatazaka Konna Suki MV. Maybe, the same location/building?

Spoiler: My fav parts

Aruno-chan and Terepan skinship scene

Runa and rose petals (she looks beautiful!!!)

And Aruno (she looks cool)

 

Sazanami wa Modoranai
さざ波は戻らない
Ripples do not come back

そして君の背中は雑踏に紛れ消えてゆく
記憶の波にさらわれ 愛はどこへ流される
あの日僕らが出会った原宿で
「サヨナラ」を言うとは思わなかった
この歩道橋の上からいつも手を振ってたのに

一度も振り向かないくらい
君は僕を忘れられるのか?
さざ波は戻ることなく
風に美しくきらめく

何も後悔がないんだね
心はどこまでも澄んでる
僕の方からはもう見えない君を
ずっと探してた

やがて夕日は沈み 思い出は暗闇の中
たった一つの願いは流れ星になるのか
誰のせいでも無いって分かってる
「やさしさ」に甘えてしまっただけさ
君を淋しくさせていた僕が鈍感過ぎた夏

私だったら大丈夫って
微笑みの中に一雫
涙が滲んでた瞳
今になってやっと気づいた

出来るなら帰ってきて欲しい
なんて勝手な愛なんだろう
打ち寄せる波は楽しかった日々も
何も覚えてない

一度も振り向かないくらい
君は僕を忘れられるのか?
さざ波は戻ることなく
風に美しくきらめく

何も後悔が無いんだね
心はどこまでも澄んでる
僕の方からはもう見えない君を
ずっと探してた

遠いさざ波よ

And your back disappears into the crowd
Swept away by the waves of memories, where is love flown into?
In Harajuku where we met that day
I never thought I'd say "goodbye"
Although I always waved my hand from the top of this pedestrian bridge

To the point where you cannot turn around
Do you forget me?
The ripples do not come back
They sparkle beautifully in the wind

I have no regrets
My heart is forever tranquil
I can't see you anymore
I've been looking for you

Before long the sun sets and memories are in the darkness
Will my one wish become a shooting star?
I understand that it's no one's fault
I was just spoiled by "kindness"
The summer when I was too thickheaded and made you feel lonely

I will be fine
A drop of tear
Well up in my smiling eye
Only now did I realize

I want you to return if you can
What a selfish love
Even the days when the crashing waves were fun
I don't remember anything

To the point where you cannot turn around
Do you forget me?
The ripples do not come back
They sparkle beautifully in the wind

I have no regrets
My heart is forever tranquil
I can't see you anymore
I've been looking for you

O distant ripples

 

Is it RuRuRiRi? Or RiRiRuRu? What I do know is that Ririan and Runa are the also the lead singers for Nogizaka Keionbu.

 

Im really surprised with third row Rei, I could swear she would be one of the members with more screen time...

 

Good to see Riria finally get an Under center opportunity. I hope there is still some chance for both Riria and Reno to enter senbatsu.
And I kinda like the song better than the previous single.

 

Regarding Rei, is her case has anything to do with her hiatus? I mean, she had been a staple senbatsu and then being kicked to under, and not just under, but back row under. What did she do?

 

Yes. Rei as under has everything to do with her hiatus. Now the case of the third row? That's questionable position for her to be in. She's definitely senbatsu member. Maybe now not a perma-senbatsu, but she definitely wasn't an Under before.

I think her position is because it was the only place to put her. First and second rows have previous under centers and various popular Under members that will be in a senbatsu soon. Unfortunately, the one member who sticks out here is Hazuki and I fear grad flags have been raised. If true, then Rei's position makes sense.

 

the formation also has something to do with it. other than w-center and back row center, the other positions has the same corresponding gen as the opposite/mirror member(eg Den-Hazuki, Teresa-Aruno, Rei-Yakubo) and apart from Runa, all other 4th gens are in the back row. and it does make a question of how come it is Hazuki and not Tamachan in the front row. maybe it could just be giving everyone a chance to be in the front.

 

Less than 2 weeks to the release date and still no sign of the main song MV? How slow they are this time...

 

CDTV

if the video does not show watch the video here
Which one we're gonna see first, this CDTV (or Venue101) performance or the MV?
========

Never Say Never!!!

 

Kokoro ni mo nai koto MV

YAY!! 5ki MV!! Love everything about this MV, probably my favorite 5ki MV so far...each member has a decent screen time and they all look very pretty...truly a visual generation.

Heard the MV director is the same as Wilderness World, which is one of the best Nogi MV imo. No wonder it has the same vibe, especially during the dance scene.

 

Wow, didn't expect they'll get a MV but I'm glad they did. It's really nice, they all look lovely.
Their uniform reminds me

Spoiler: BwBw

So only Saku x Nagi and the young trio left. So, is it like the last single and we're just waiting for the last MV which is the main song?

 

There are 2 more MVs: 1 more unit MV and the main song. I started to think the production issue is related to the main song MV, maybe they have to re-shoot the MV due to whatever reason.
