Keyakizaka46's debut with Silent Majority

Today I will talk about Keyakizaka46's debut single Silent Majority.

I wanted to talk about this single, especially since they are releasing their second one soon. Adding to that, I was asked to do it. So here I am!!

But honestly, I still don't know close to anything about this group. I only know a few faces and this song. They are pushing that one girl with short hair to the front and she looks cool!

As Nogizaka46's sister group they have a really similar image and I can see a lot of Nogizaka in them. But they are also really unique and have a more cool and badass image, while still being classy.

Silent Majority is a more darker song, so it's not really tyical Idolly. It starts with a solo from Hirate Yurina (aka center and ace). Even though she doesn't have the best voice ever, her vocals are really interesting, especially for a 14 yera old. The vocals of all the members are quite powerful, which is cool to hear. The whole song does sound a bit monotone, but that has a nice charm and I really like the bridge part before the last chorus. Adding to that, the lyrics are very good. They are about speaking your mind and being yourself, which is so nice to hear from a Japanese Idol group. And it's always nice to have songs, that aren't about love. Aki-p didn't disappoint with those lyrics.

I really love this song now, even though I had to listen a few times to really grasp the awesomeness of it. It has to be one of the best debuts ever! I'm listening to it so much now.. xD

So let's take a look at the video:

(Sorry, if I get a name wrong or something..)

The first scene is this girl riding a bike..

Keyakizaka46!
Don't know if I will ever learn to write that first kanji XD

They were showing all the members really, really fast, so I just screenshotted the two, I know the best.
This is Imaizumi Yui. I think she is really cute!

And that is the center, Hirate Yurina. She has a really cool style!

What a cool pose. And I really love these outfits

Hiratechi doing some dance practise

I already like her!

Boob touching

Shida Manaka? And in the back Harada Aoi? She's so cuteeee!!!

The dance is funny xD

I love the location

Suzumoto Miyu. She ahs an interesting face

Wtanabe Rika

Berika looking beautiful!

And they are marching now.. that fits the monotone instruments very good

Who's that?

Marching goes on

Nice pose XD

The queen comes walking

She is a cool center!

Miyu showing emotions xD

Dresses are flying

Berika is still beautiful xD

I really like the way they are holding their dresses

Dancing in Seifuku

... at a train station XD

Ah, the girl on the bike is Kobayashi Yui! I kind of really like her XD

Techi looks a bit like Miona here xD

That looks cool

WHy sos erious?

Those eyebrows and those ears are really interesting!! I like her :D

Yui is doing a break xD

Theres no getting through

Let's all touch our face xD

And bow down!!

Kami-sama!!!

Zuumin looks so awkward yet cute *-*

The dance has a few weird elements but it's cool!

I really like Hbu Mizuho (the tall one on the right)

Shida Manaka (middle) also catches my eyes :)

Here we have all of them

And our top 5 members for this song.
Rika, Miyu, Yurina and wYui.

End position..

And a last Hiratechi.

Well, that wasn't the most special ever, but it was interesting none the less. I like the outfits, the dance and all the girls are very beautiful. When I was researching about the members, I learned quite a few names. Until now, I really like the center and the two Yui's (also their song Shibuyagawa is perfect!!). Sadly other than the 5 front members we didn't see a lot of the member (that's one of the only things I didn't like about the video).. but just from the looks I find Habu really interesting. I need to learn more about the girls, but one of them might be my favourite.. :)

All in all, in my opinion this is a pretty amazing debut. Keyakizaka46 is starting good and I hope they will continue like that! Their next single already looks awesome as well.

Now onto watching their shows xD

Team Syachihoko's ULTRA CHO MIRACLE SUPER VERY POWER BALL

Today Im doing a review of Team Syachihoko's new single ULTRA Cho MIRACLE SUPER VERY POWER BALL.

Yes, I'm finally doing a Syachi review again. I still love this group so much and I really wanted to do a review for ages. So with this new song I thought, why not? Sadly, Yuzu is still doing a break, so she doesn't appear in this song.. :/

Despite the weird name, ULTRA Cho MIRACLE SUPER VERY POWER BALL is a really cool song. It starts with some kind of odd chants by the girls but is followed by some really cool instruments through the whole song. It has a kind of rockish feeling and is really dramatic with some ''bang your head'' lyrics in between. All in all it's a very crazy song, but it's great and I love it!!! Syachi is slaying again!!

Now onto the video:

Syachi is entering their dressing room. And this is the first video with Nao's short hair!! SHe looks so cute with it *.*

But Chiyuri is the cutest, just look at that smile :3

Now they are all in the dressing room

She's so happy <3

Honochan is an angel!

And her ears XD

They discovered something interesting xD

Lots of Syachihokos!!

ULTRA

CHO

MIRACLE

SUPER

VERY

POWER
The whole title is written in front of these Syachihoko's. And seems like they need to put something into them

Even the girls are surprised about these weird words XD

But now the Shachihoko's are gone?

They are going down..

And on the ground are the girrrrrls

The longest title XD

And the beginning chants

Chiyu: We are ready to fight!

Haru looks so cool xD

And Honoka looks cute

Those are some epic shoots!!

Chiyu is starting the song

Chiyuri: Everything under my controll!

She's entering the yellow room

Where she finds lots of rice

Chiyu: Onigiri??

Haru is enetering the green part

And catches a ping pong ball

Haruna: I'm so cool

Ping Pong against this evil looking old man

Nao's room looks like the galaxy!

SO COOL!

The song isn't even that Idolly and happy, but they look so excited XD

CUTE!!

Can't believe she's 19 XD

A wrecking ball?

She fights against it?

Yuzuki: That hurts!

Honoka is excited to enter her room

She finds a red ball!!

Honochan: I did it!!

Oh no! The lasers are in the way!

Chiyuri really does Onigiris

Chiyu: Doesn't it look awesome?

OH NO! It exploded

Le shock

Nao also found her ball (a planet?)

But she gets hit by a stone

Seems like Haruna is really doing Ping Pong against that guy

And she is strong!!

The title is written above the girls XD

And the danc eis pretty cute

Looks really dramatic with the fire

Yuzuki, ganbatte!!

Nao won't give up!

Chiyu is still working on the onigiris

Chiyu: Why are they always breaking?

Lasers everywhere

The guy even has a really strong looking arm

The outfits are okay.. the skirts aren't really shorts

Honoka: We are the Number 1!

BANG YOUR HEAD!
With real big heads of the girls XD

Hahaha

Kakkoiii

Honoka looks so mature here. She tries to get how the lasers are working

Intense game!!

Haru: You also wanna fight me?

Chiyu: I'm tired of this shit!

She almost got it!!

But the galaxy is eating her..

Really nice shot of Yuzuki :3

Well, this mini ponytail does look a bit weird/ funny XD

Haru: Minna, watashi wo mite!

She did it?

Oooh, her ball?

More dancing shots!!

Ping Pong of death XD

OMG, she really hit him?

Will he die?

Haru: Dont die!

Run, Honokaaa

Chiyu, don't look so sad :/

She's crying? :o

On the Onigiri

Now the ball is glowing!!

And Honoka also amde it to her ball, yesss

Bye, bye old man..

And hello glowing Ping Pong Ball

Which turns out to be the Super Ball.

Nao is still in business

Her side profile is really beautiful :3

And she got the Miracle ball!!

Right from the wrecking ball...

... Yuzuki's Very Ball (very ball, very wow)

And Chiyu finally got her Cho ball *-*
Interestingly, Cho also means something like 'very', so we have double very XD

Nice, Honoka! Ultra Ball sounds cool

And they are putting the balls into the Shachi's..
Serious business

Why so shocked?

Oh no, something is missing

A FREAKING PINK BALL!!!! YUZUUUU
Omg, I was crying when I first saw that. With that they are saying that Yuzu is still important to the group and I'm like ahgshgfhjzf

Is it a soap bubble?

Firework? xD

Nao centaaaaaa

That looks really cool!

Head banging till the end

Chiyu with a Team syachihoko flag!!
..which has actually 6 Syachihokos.. OMG, I can't with these feelings

NAO

Haru

Yuzuki

And Honoka. Well, red flames are really the coolest XD

Here we have the whole title again xD Now it makes kind of sense..

End pose!

And some credits

Of course we love them *-*

And that's it for the video. Wow, this is really really cool. The title did confuse me a bit, but now it even makes kind of sense. The members need to get various balls with all the names:  They are all let into different places, where they have to fight something. Honoka needs to go through lasers to get the ULTRA BALL, Chiyuri needs to make an Onigir to get the CHO BALL, Nao needs to grab a planet from the galaxy to get the MIRACLE BALL, Haru needs to play Ping Pong to get the SUPER BALL and Yuzuki needs to box a wrecking ball to get the VERY BALL. They all get those balls and need to put them into the Syachihoko's in their dressing room. Even though Yuzu didn't appear in the video, the pink POWER BALL is coming at the end and is a symbol for her. That is really lovely and I hope we will see her soon! The video was made so well and I loved the different fights of the girls! The names of the balls are pretty funny though, haha. Especially the 'Very' one.
Well, the girls all worked really well in this video and I especially love Nao's short hair!

It's been a long time and I really enjoyed reviewing something from Syachi. The girls are lovely and I love their music. You should definitely check this out, especially if you don't know them that well.

SYACHIIIIII
(If I sometimes write 'Sya' and sometimes 'Sha', don't be surprised. The normal romanisation would be Sha, but they are always writing SYAchihoko as the official name)
