Single Sakurazaka46 7th Single [Shounin Yokkuu] (2023/10/18)

This Shoninyokkyu "Dance Practice" video is just fantastic. Brilliant dance, shown clearly. Even clearer than the Start Over! dance practice video.

 

Loved the Dance Practice, the one who stood out the most to me so far is Habu, I love when her dance experience is shown so clearly.
I 'll have to watch it again, but I'm happy they decided to make this kind of video.

Even though I love Start Over more than any other Sakura song so far, I too think we are not going back instead of forwards.
Like usual @Rev4 disregard more than half Sakura discography just to prove his point so I'm not surprised by the post nor by the constant comparision with other groups and Keyaki.
Boring stuff by now for me.

 

Well, this is something subjective, that start over had greater views on YT unlike shonin, does not make shonin a setback, shonin is selling more physical than what start did and that is what matters here.

Regarding the remaining songs is still subjective, of the 7 singles from sakura, I have 3 in SSR rank, samidare, start and shonin, but that's how I see it, someone could like BAN more than shonin even though shonin sells more.

And I don't understand comparing the popularity of a Nogi single from 10 years ago with a style infinitely different from what Sakura has today, just because they are both the "7th", there is no need to look for ghosts where they don't exist.

Sakura has already taken off and we are slowly returning to the keyakizaka era in popularity, the invitations to the Paris and Malaysia expo this year and being nominated for the Asia Awards proves it.

 

Saku reach #14 pos in the united world chart

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

I waited for the forum to come up once again just to understand where that performance came from. Does anyone knows?

Like usual, it takes me more time to like Hikaru song, but this video sealed the deal and now I can't stop singing it.
Great performance and fanastic set. Loved it.

 

What a brilliant idea to shoot the 7th in the premises of their fantastic exhibition. Amazing set for an amazing performance.

 

I agree. Fantastic MV and fantastic performance. They just get better and better.

The performance is being done in the S46 exhibition now on at an exhibition hall not far from Keyakizaka (the street). Link to report from @SunlitZelkova.

 

Lyrics for Don't cut in line!

I was robbed while waiting in line at a coin laundry.
I guess a normal sister doesn't mean anything bad.
While I was looking at my smartphone...I was also standing in line.
It's not cool to complain so let's leave it alone.

The world is like this after all
luck or timing
it's not fair
I'm getting angry every time
I'm just tired of living
Let's take a step back here

One Two Three

Don't cut in line!
I don't even want to know what you're washing.
The things that need to be washed are different, right?
Even if you use a lot of detergent, it won't get as clean as you want.
Wash! (Woah woah woah)
That heart is dirty
The more you pay attention, the easier it will become.
Pure white things cannot be compared

I know it's too late now, but I was first in line.
It's no good to interrupt.
Even if you preach like that, you will just be ignored.
Just wait patiently by my side

The dryer was also waiting for her next one.
Why is this time being openly used by an aunt?
I've been here for an hour now
When I tried saying that, I was at a disadvantage.

In life, not everyone will be on your side
It's better to be selfish
I read the atmosphere too much
Yes, there are walls all around.
Throw away your pride
If you don't want to get into trouble

Une des trois [Translation: one of the three]

Please do!
I don't care what you dry though
There is no kindness to wipe my tears
No matter how much water I evaporate, I can't erase the memory of crying.
Watch! (Woah woah woah)
In such a small space
Selfish people are acting freely
It's not just mine that's still wet.

I guess I'll call it quits for today.
I'm not in a particular hurry...
It's not too dirty
If you turn the rattle, it will become clean.
I don't hate doing laundry

One Two Three

Don't cut in line!
I don't even want to know what you're washing.
The things that need to be washed are different, right?
Even if you use a lot of detergent, it won't get as clean as you want.
Wash! (Woah woah woah)
That heart is dirty
The more you pay attention, the easier it will become.
Pure white things cannot be compared

I know it's too late now, but I was first in line.
It's no good to interrupt.
Even if you preach like that, you will just be ignored.
Just wait patiently by my side

 

If my French is correct it must be "un deux trois" which actually means one two three...
Why should the English version of the verse be one two three and the French be something else...
Again, I guess. I don't have access to the original japanese lyrics...

 

You could be right, my French is super weak. Aki-P supposedly wanted to be flashy with french words in this single.
