Life is beautiful with Nogizaka46

Today I will talk about Nogizaka46's new single ''Inochi wa Utsukushii''
But first of all, congrats for selling more that 500,000 copies for the first time in the first week. This was an important single after their awesome last year and their first album, so I'm happy that they are still growing stronger. :) 

Just one of the very beautiful covers. 
I love them all. *-*

After Erika's centered awesome single, Nanase is back in this position and since I'm a big fan of her, this is so great for me (though she didn't seem to happy about it ._.). Well, I still hope they will change the center again though. Another Maiyan or Ikuta center would be awesome and I would like to see Nanami, MaiMai, Reika or even Wakasama centering in the future, too. Okay, Wakatsuki probably won't do that very soon, but I'm really happy to see her back in Fukujin. *-* Sayuringo is in back row, and I'm surprised that she's still in senbatsu. This pissed of a lot of people, but I don't care, I'm happy she is getting another chance. :) The new girls of the last row are all really interesting. Marika and Ashurin are both back in senbatsu which is awesome. :D Then we have Iori, who I am not too surprised about. The worst thing of this senbatsu is Misa STILL being in the back row. D: She needs to be in a more prominent position!!! If she is still in the back by the next single I'm gonna flip some tables. *cough* But all in all this is a great senbatsu. :)

Now about the song: Inochi wa Utsukushii is yet another killer Nogi song! It starts with a slow piano and then turns into a faster paced dance song while still keeping a kind of melancholic and beautiful melody. This is a very interesting mix and I admit that I'm surprised at how well this song works. Adding to that, the lyrics are just brilliant. The title means 'life is beautiful' and the whole song is just so uplifting. :3 
It's definitely my favourite single out of the newly released singles by the 48/ 46 groups! Seriously, Nogizaka46 is an awesome group and I'm so happy for their great succes. *-*
So let's take a look at their video:


Nogizaka46! Oh really? xD


Inochi wa Utsukushii


This is of course Nanase.


Yess. Naachan looking beautiful.


Center saikou!


I do like the dresses a lot, and the shoes look cool.


Ikuchan: I want my center spot back!


Dance is pretty hard for Nogizaka standards. I like it a lot and I think the girls are doing a great job.


Wakasama is looking so fabulous on the left. And Mai Mai looks evil o.o


The room looks interesting.


Yeay, Rena and Erika!


Nanase: Yo, I'm starting this song because I'm da center!


I do like those three up front a lot.


Maiyan looks stunning. *-*


They are all chilling in this hallway like some gangsters. xD




Erika and Rena. They look awesome together if you ask me.


I have to say that Ikoma is seriously awesome in this dance.



Reika and Ikoma.


Here we have the rest of the Fukujin: Yumi, Manatsu and Mai.


The cute group: Miona, Minami, Asuka and Marika.


Kamisama is coming down from the sky. m.m


Sayuri, Iori, Misa and Kazumi



The other top girls are all surrounding Nanase like bodyguards. Shes god after all. XD




Nanase: I'm too awesome for this world.



I want to learn this dance, too!


Hair is flying!! XD


Reika is so beautiful. *-*


Waaaah, I love these clothes. *-*
Here we have Ikoma, Rena, Reika and Erika.


Reika looks stunning. :o


And I really like Rena's look.


I like her more when she's smiling, but this sad look does fit her pretty good. :9



Featherrrrs! And where is she?


OMG, are they outside?


Wakasama looks awesome! I guess I didn't talk about her short hair before? :o
Classic Yumi with long hair is really beautiful, but short hair looks pretty cool, too.


Roses!


Eh, Nanami, why are you throwing them away??


Nanami: I hate flowers!


What is she holding?


Whaa, Maiyan is so pretty. :3


But.. what is this? Ink?


Ikuta isn't crying normal tears. It looks cool, but a bit depressive.


Ikoma looks cool. :D



And wow, Rena is rocking this style. *-*


Top3.



Wakasama looks so coooool. *-*


And wow, Mai Mai.


They all look amazing. xD



Hoshimina and Ashurin. They are two of the youngest 1st gens, so it fits pretty good to see them together. :)



Yes, let's hold hands. xD


Reika is looking down on me. :o


Akimoto!! These scenes are just so stunning. *-*


Kazumin is taking care of Miona.


And Mai looks awesome.


Okay, this looks pretty cool.


And I wonder what Iori is whispering into Ringo's ear. XD


Ikomachan!


Misa x Marika.


Not the biggest fan of Marika's outfit, but this is cooool.


We're so disappointed.


Eh, what are you doing Reika?


Dance shot with the vicorian outfits. Yesss, I love them.


Ikuchan's outfit is one of the best in my opinion.


Wait, so you picked up the roses again?
Nanami: I figured they are beautiful..





First row members. They all look stunning.


Oh right, the light changed a bit. it looks a bit warmer now.


Nanase's dress looks interesting.


Are those Erika's shoes? Not the biggest fan of them.


Maiyan: I can't..
Nanase: Wait!
Nanami: The fuck?


I can see that smirk, Wakachan. XD



This looks funny. And I like how Ikoma got trousers. :D


Back to the other dresses and blue light.



No more ink?




Rena is crying MILK?
By the wa, this will probably be her last video with Nogi, so I'm feeling a bit sad right now..



Naachan's feathers are flying away.


Nanase: That's my power.


End pose.


And feathers without Naachan
The conclusion: Nanase is god. XD

Wow, that was a really stunning video.The blue outfits are nice, but I really love the Victorian Dresses. They are so pretty and everyone looked so nice. *-* I'm also a big fans of those simple solo scenes with black tears and stuff. So awesome! The dance is cool and it's nice to see them doing a harder one this time. Nogizaka isn't the best dance group but they did a good job in my opinion.

There's not much to comment, this single is simply perfect. Nogizaka46 is slaying so hard right now, and I'm so happy about that. :)
