Gorgeous MV, Yuzu best girl

 

Yuuzu visuals are no joke. I bet backs live is gonna give her a huge popularity boost.

I also love how despite Miichan not being the center, she gets a pretty good screentime. Shadow center vibes.

Also, backs MVs are having better screentime then senbatsu ones. I can see everyone easily in this one. Sooo good.

 

The Backs song is growing on me haha. Great MV as well! Yah, Yuzuki is so beautiful. I have always felt she took over the visual role of Sugai-sama.

I don't know why but the theme of birds came to me while watching a 4th time. That visual of them holding poles etc to make a structure and them being filmed so high at the rooftop looking down on the city.

 

Nothing Special is, well, SO SPECIAL...!

A song on repeat for the last few hours, a melody that sticks to mind like gum and haunts the feelings with this strange sense of "nostalgia for something I have never yet experienced" (a feeling that only Japanes songs manage to convey to me)... Easily one of my top favourites proving that Sakurazaka productions are no joke, be it A-side, Under, 3rd gen, filler song, you name it...

Yuzu's beauty just hurts! OMG she is a perfect 10! I hope (and predict) that she will be the first PB among the 3rd gen, she definitely deserves it! All other girls also look great in this simple yet, powerful MV.

The wood construction took me back to the Habu Tower from Futari Saizon... This time, a much taller tower made from wood but supported from bodies and souls... The aura of the song is also similar to the slightly melancholic and deep Futari Saizon...

Nothing Special is, indeed, VERY SPECIAL!

 

How good are the translations on their MVs? Are they somewhat accurate?

 

The official ones should be quite accurate as they convey the meaning of the songs as intended (even if not a literal translation?)

 

New coupling songs preview!

It's 3rd gen song right? I think it's the time for Reina center, but who's voice do you guys think sang the first line? It's sound like Reina, Yuu, or Mio.

I don't know abt the lyrics but the instrument was banger, but the way they spell the lyrics was strange I already think about good MV, so please let it be like I imagined!!!

 

That nightmare song is so dope! It's already out on spotify, and without being pushed by an MV this one is an easy top song for me.

It's more of a K-Pop sound to me, but somehow works! Now wait for the MV reveal to know who's the center..

 

MY EXPECTATIONS for the mv is ..passed

omg, we will also get the 2ki ONLY MV!
If it is another dope, probably hono ten rin or rena center, then this come back is extraordinary.

this might become on my top 2 best single! Fighting hard to be top with start over.

 

Congrats Mio for the center!

MV is nice(I love the dark atmosphere) but the song....I like it but it sounds way too kpopish for my taste, it sounds like White Scorpion. I don't know if I will listen to it as much as hikikomoru, at least the nananana is catchy. I suppose kpop fans are gonna like this one.

Overall great concept but the song didn't make huge waves with me. It's fine I guess.

 

Typical k-pop boys band sound

 

MV superrrrr meh. It's make the song sounds horible...
I don't like outfit, silly coreo, silly scenes on this MV. The thing made me super mad was they wasted on the Dance Break I imagined powerful dancebreak...

Anw Congrats Mio for the super late center position!!!

 

Also we have more info about the new songs!

Tracklist(Updated!) Details here

1. Udagawa Generation (Senbatsu)
2. Nightmare Shougoukun (3rd Gen)
3. Nothing Special (BACKS)
4. Monshirochou ga tashika toneta (2nd Gen)
5. Ikanaide (Koike Minami, Endo Riko, Kojima Nagisa)
6. ULTRAVIOLET (BACKS)
7. Yaru shika naijan (Senbatsu)

 

Nightmare Syndrome, as the name implies, is definitely the darkest song Saku has ever come out with. The music is just OK, the MV is kinda out there (and I like it!).

There seems to be a bit of Techi in Mio's performance, and not just because of the short hair. Now I understand why she climbed so quickly in senbatsu. I also think management is grooming her for a singles' center. Her performance gives different vibes than any other member.

As an aside, Rika, who likes Mio, must have loved that "bite my neck, Dracula-style" scene!

 

Miichan gets a grad song as part of a unit. Where can we see the details of the MVs?

Agree with the above comments about the kpop sound of this song. I can see why Mio suits being the center of the song although visually, Itoha's expressions catches my eye haha. This girl is dangerous I say!

 

I´m happy that 2ki is getting another song. I thought they would wait until 2nd album but I´m glad that we are already getting another one in this single, hopefully they will have another one in 2nd album.

Miichan unit is a win! Can´t wait to see the performance.
