Single SKE48 33rd [Kokuhaku Shinpakusuu] [2024/10/02]

The MV for the B-side 'Junjougawa' has just dropped (Amichan center):

That was really really good

 

That's a really strong starting point for mimifeuille! Great song!

Also, Kokuhaku Shinpakusuu MV just surpassed 1 million views. Congrats SKE!

 

I am still very surprised Hara Yune is dropped out of the senbatsu, especially when some people here even predicted her as a center. It seems to me that the thing that was mentioned about her dancing skills is not the only reason. That would mean she was the worst dancer from all the girls in the last senbatsu.

 

Because it was marketed as a “teens unit” and she’s not a teen

 

Team S song, Miyomaru center, Ienakute Tacos:



Team KII song, Yuki center, Koi no Tetsugakusha:



Team E song, Kahorin center, Kishibe no Dareka:


I can't say which one is my favorite, S song is more energetic and idolish, KII song is definitely interesting (actually I personally think this sonority fits KII way more than the extremely girly cute-ish songs that they were given recently), E song is more serious. I really like when team songs differ considerably from each other.

Maybe this is kinda unpopular for what I've seen among other SKE fans, but overall I think this single songs are better than Ai no Hologram songs. Even though I think the latter's songs are pleasant generally, the only songs I really like are Kishibe no Shoujo yo (which I personally find a masterpiece, specially for its chorus and bridge) and Beautiful.

Really unfortunate that for this single the only c/w to have a MV is Junjougawa. This is the first SKE single since more than a decade ago to not feature MVs for team songs, and first SKE single since 2010 to only feature 2 MVs. This is odd if we consider that Ai no Hologram sales were splendid, surpassing 600k copies sold. I don't know if any member have said something about this matter. I like to think that they are already saving some money for new stages in the next year hehe.

 

I love Kuma, so I'm happy for her. The song is ok. The mv doesn't look expensive but i like it anyway, and the members look great.

I am super annoyed about there being no mvs for the coupling songs, i don't even want to listen to them.
Zest likes to boast about their profits, launched two more paid apps just recently , but they are stingy with the single? F that!

Dropping Yune is an odd choice. The official reason is that she didn't sell enough:

All songs are good especially KII. Yes, Idols needs MV!

Not MV, but OK, I like it))

 

At least some fan crumbles for us. I am glad they show some "try", but I think everyone agree: not enough.
Give them some TV appearances, streams, Tiktok? etc.
Bigger concept venues? Maybe? I don't know how much SKE can fill these days? Budokan possible?
At least the single is

 

Lately AKB can't sold out Budokan, so Idk if SKE can or not? Their lastest single sales less than AKB (198,723 vs 264,959) with more active members.
But I do agree they need to payola for the girl appearing on TV more.

 

Akb48.fandom.com listed the wrong members to participate in the B-side. They listed Aoki Shiori, who didn't participate and didn't list Suzuki Ena.
Yamamura Sakura doesn't appear on the dance MV.

Could someone, who wasn't banned by them, edit it there?

 

Looks like Kokuhaku Shinpakusuu reached #1 in Oricon this week with ~7k units (total: 278k units). Nice to see that the #1 streak gets repaired in a way.
