Single SKE48 30th single [Zettai Inspiration] - 22/10/05

The full music video is now available, I'll post the link:



I love the song, the MV is good too! Congrats Hinano!

 

The song is so SKE! Congatulate Hinano, finally a center from team S. After the graduation of Jurina team S seems like a weekest in popularity especially when “the new Jurina” was promted to Team E. (Fun fact is the frontline for this single is full of E)
Their seifuku is also very nice, Dasu looks gorgeous with the beret. Watching the MV, I thought it’s a WCen Dasu-Hinano, a great goodbye to the queen.

 

WoW I see mostly negative-neutral comments on SKE48 matome ... very pessimistic. Many comments about Mirei...

 

Gives you perspective that your preference & favorite isn't what everyone think too.
======
I'm chill tho. Probably best confidence state I have with SKE progress. Mirei is actual gen 10 success when you don't consider she has to fill a void. But I always wonder how her fanbase fluctuate when the pendulum moves. They were never tested before.

And of all gen 9 girls, there's a reason no one in my circles were, are, or ever be bitter with Aoumi. Even if she's above her genmates in initial popularity until now. Not when she's fun to chat with, has great personality, and allowed herself to be verbal punchbag of her own team member(something that, trust me, plagued team S to be the weakest despite the constant addition of rising star in said team. That's because they lack popular clowngirl years ago to lighten up the team mood, not popular competitive girls.). I'll let others testify about her own dance prowess.

I can only hope there is at least someone in current SKE who reach Dasu level of popularity soon. Someone who promote Donchan to her TV show just for a skit. Or her Radio show. And being warm to her juniors rather than an untouchable star senior. But that's for another day.

It's a good day to be hyped again.

 

I love it!!!! Hinano did a great job, this is a really fresh and interesting direction for SKE. I love how “sporty” and athletic the dance and costumes look together. Great MV and song.

New Ager MV is so cute, Yune in the thumbnail reminds me Mirei's Ano Koro no Kimi wo Mitsuketa. A B-side center in the 1st time participate, next time will be a senbatsu spot. Mirei should watch out from now on.

 

Hara Yune looks like a 14 year old. Was surprised she's already 20.
Love both B-Sides!!! Finally SKE kicks their old image again

 

This single has definitely exceeded my expectation, I'd say this is the best single since Maenomeri.

 

Good simple videos and I like the tunes. I hope SKE stays with pushing new girls. I like to have a WCenter next time

 

This single is so good

I already said that I like 'Zettai Inspiration', it's a good song and Hinano is cool as the center, the dance is cool too! I guess the music video could have been a little better with a bit more different scenes, but it's good though! I like the decision to have a new center since a lot of people don't know many of the current SKE members, this can help to make people know one more member. I also want them to continue the Mirei push though, I thought it would be perfect to give her something in b-sides when she's not center, and that's exactly what they did! Looking forward to listen to her solo song 'Watashi no Tokei' :3

Now about the other b-sides! I'm so happy that they gave a center song to Yune! 'New Ager' sounds so nice, and it's probably my favorite song in this single (not biased haha), the MV is really good too, it's exactly what I wanted *-* it's fresh and lively :3 I watched this MV so many times already. Congrats Yune The other b-side 'Kataomoi Forever' is very good too with Nakano Airi center, she's pretty! I really like the black/purple theme and their clothes, they look great! The song is easy to listen, I love it. These 2 b-sides are my fav thing in this single!

Lastly, Dasu's graduation song 'Watashi no Aruki Kata' is good as well and she looks really nice in the parts where she's in the nature. and I like her solo dance. it's a nice goodbye song!

So yes, this is so far my favorite 48G single this year. Good job SKE

Good job to all the girls who sold! I hope more can sell.
Yune is selling so fast! o_o She is the best seller after Dasu!
it's great for her, and for SKE's future after Dasu's grad...

 

Oh my Gosh this is crazy?! Girl had barely joined the group and is already selling A LOT more than MOST of the members? By the 4th slot she might already sell out everything. This is really amazing, it will take no time for her to join senbatsu.

I'm happy that Amichan and some Team S members (Ruuchan, Miyomaru, Ayuka) managed to sell a slot. It's great news since Team S is the least popular team since quite a while ago. I think that with their original stage they managed to get a space at least a bit bigger in the group.

I'm also surprised that Mirei didn't sold out a slot yet. Other girls like Marin and Yokonyan also shock me. But to be honest I actually know nothing about SKE handshake sales, given that it's hard to find people talking about it, at least among international fans, so thanks for posting them here, @Mana. Also, if that's not asking too much, could you please say where did you manage to get the sales numbers? I'd really like to know how the girls are doing sales-wise once in a while. Thank you in advance ^^
