Single STU48 8th single [Hana wa dare no mono ?] (2022/04/13)

Translated from Vietnamese:
This week, STU48 topped USEN HIT's weekly J-pop chart with the song "Hana wa Dare no Mono"
USEN HIT is a paid music service in Japan, it is commonly used in restaurants, bars, shops, etc. This means STU48 has been favored by shop and restaurant owners to play their music, and at the same time, this also helps their music to reach more people.
Last week, Hana wa Dare no Mono ranked 13th. Congratulations on this great achievement

My HMV signed chekis for this single have just arrived - this time I chose Chiho, Hinachan, Aoi and MaiQ:

 

'Hana wa dare no mono?' Dance Lyric Video (with CC subs in English and other languages):


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

It's much more better than MV.

 

This is probably the best dance choreography for STU

 

It's so pretty! This is a very nice choreo for the song!

 

A quick interesting fact about the coupling song 'Sure, Jaane' is that it's composed by CHOCOLATE MIX who according to our Wiki also composed two of IZ*ONE's Japanese A-sides - 'Suki to Iwasetai' and 'Vampire'. IMO 'Sure, Jaane' reminds me a lot of another of CHOCOLATE MIX's compositions, AKB48 Team K's 'Shuuden no Yoru', a coupling song from 'Teacher Teacher'.

 

Maybe I'm reaching but I can't help but wonder if the song title was based off of a meme...

 

On 05/26 (20h JST), they will hold a stream on Instagram in english

English CC subs have now been added to the drama version MV:

I watched it and it genuinely made me tear up at the end. That story line was so beautiful

 

^LOL thank you Yumirin. I bet at least a few thousand of that are Hinatazaka fans' doing
Oh, check Yumirin's thread if you don't know where i'm coming from

 

Quite late to comment on this single, but for me, this single is absolutely the best of all the singles released by basically every 48 groups (except HKT) this year. From a nice song itself, wonderful lyrics to a very touching drama version MV, this single has it all.

 

I'm still so impressed by the drama version. The story was absolutely beautiful Really hope other groups can use STU as an example

 

Finally some amazing quality STU stuff lol

Hate to say it but SKE is pretty top of their A game releasing singles this year imo lol

 

I wasn't referring to that. I just thought releasing a full on drama version alongside their single was a really nice idea, and I'd love to see it from other sister groups.

 

Okichan has made a 'behind' video of the shooting of the MV for 'Hana wa dare no mono?':

I heard that the story of this song is based on conflict happen between Ukraine and Russia (?)
