^Naachan's note

生徒転学についての照会
Seito tengaku ni tsuite no shoukai
Inquiry regarding student transfer

 

i really got curious about the last part why she said liar....

at least she knows nanase will transfer...

 

Just wanted to say Nogizaka46 never disappointed me in their released singles.
My fav B-Side is Koko ni Iru Riyuu! Love at first listen. The PV might be "different" but the song itself and the dance are epic. *__*

 

Because Naachan told her "See you next semester, okay?"

 

thanks!!!!

 

I do think that Natsu Free Easy is the weakest song in this single. Song and PV wise, Sono Saki no Deguchi and Mukuchi na Lion are much better.But bacause it's summer, so they must release summer-ish song and Natsu Free Easy was picked up as the A-side.

 

NATSU NO FREE&EASY Is a terrible song and I kind of blame Rena for it
Nogizaka46 has never had a song with an SKE48-sound as Free&easy did and I believe her joining became influential to the choice.

(Rena is my favorite SKE48 member so I don't hate her btw she could stay for as long as she wants but I put Nogizaka first).

However, Nogizaka are still queens of coupling tracks!

Could anyone explain what happened in Mukuchi na Lion PV? I don't really understand the storyline..

 

dozo~ (mukuchi na lion's storyline)

Thank you so much! Everything is clear now

 

How many copies of this release will you be buying? I'm probably gonna purchase all copies.

 

I ordered type A and B. I thought of buying type C too but in the end I didn't. I love UG song, but the PV really turn me off. I'm not interested to buy regular edition since it has no DVD.

 

I ordered all editions. I love to support them (well sadly CDJapan just mentioned Oricon doesn't count the orders of exported orders...) and to collect all possible editions.

Nethertheless Nogizaka46 really is getting better. And they grown so much on me.

 

I bought Type B for Mukachi na Lion, if I had extra cash on hand I'd probably get Type A as well. I don't even like the A-side

 

Takoyama
I ordered Type-A & Type-C. Maybe I'll cop Type-B later if I had extra money

 

Wow that is surprising with Oricon not counting CD Japan export sales. Personally I don't think this release will top Kizuitara in sales, however, we have seen a steady increase since Kimi no Na. Ngzk has become a little more popular so maybe the streak will continue.
