Keyakizaka46 - Kaze ni Fukaretemo Type A ~unboxing~

Today I'm doing an unboxing of Keyakizaka46's single Kazeni Fukaretemo Type A. I purchased this single when it was released back last year. 
Sooooo let's finally take a look at it:


Hirate's best look yet on the cover.. One reason why I had to buy this version. She looks amazing on the cover


Back side with Manaka, Moriya, Berika and Risa..


Obi. And I won't forget it's Type A XD



The CD looks quite normal, nothing really special


Same for the DVD


But I like how all the names are written here


Kakkoi Hirate again



Techi~


Lyrics of Kaze ni Fukaretemo


Lyrics of Soredemo Aruiteru


Here we have shorthaired Ozeki


And a really beautiful Berika


Lyrics of Kekkyoku, Jaa ne shika Ienai


All the Kanji members.. I wish I had this as a poster


Shiori


And Yone



So much black!


And I got a Mei card.. She's not my favourite member, but this picture is absolutely adorable!!

Tracklist:

1. Kaze ni Fukaretemo
2. Soredemo Aruiteru
3. Kekkyoku, Jaa ne shika Ienai
4. Kazeni Fukaretemo (off vocal ver.)
5. Soredemo Aruiteru (off vocal ver.)
6. Kekkyoku, Jaa ne shika Ienai (off vocal ver.)

DVD:

1. Kaze ni Fukaretemo
2. Getsuyoubi no Asa, Sukaato kirareta
3. Bonus footage (in Tochigi)

I really like this single's main track. Kaze ni Fukaretemo is an upbeat happy song and even though I really like Keyaki's darker songs, this is a really nice change. The video is really cool as I simply love the girls in suits and the dance. Soredemo Aruiteru is a song by Hiragana Keyaki and was used for their drama Re:mind. I like the show and the song is really nice as well, especially their voices are shining a lot in this. I really like the members that are singing Kekkyoku, Jaa ne shika Ienai, especially since they normally don't get to be in the spotlight that much.. The song is really cute!
I'm also still in love with Getsuyoubi and the video.. best thing ever!

In the Bonus documentary, some members went to Tochigi and had to do a lot of climbing and walking through water etc. It's reall fun to see them do their best and some of the members are really good while some other aren't (poor Nagasawa-kun and Berika). Since this is a mix of kanji and hiragana members it's quite cool to see them together and especially made me like Katoshi and Kage even more when I first watched this.

All in all, this is an amazing single.

Last AKB48 Handshake Event 2017.07.16

This is the last Idol Handshake I went to during my time in Japan.
It was full of meeting two of my favourite Idols: Matsui Jurina and Yamamoto Sayaka!
As you can imagine I was really excited but also a little sad.

Let's go:

2nd slot

Matsui Jurina


Jurina and me: Long time no see!
Me: Oh, you remember me?
Jurina: Yes!
Me: Thank you~ I'm so happy to meet you again!
Jurina: *pointing at my hair* So cute. Like Hollywood Jurina
Me: yeah right

3rd slot

Yamamoto Sayaka


Me: Nice to meet you and happy birthday!
Sayanee: Thank you! Your Japanese is so good
Me: Not yet.. I'm so happy to meet you
Sayanee: Thank you, please come again

4th slot

Yamamoto Sayaka


Me: Hey
Sayanee: 2nd time!!
Me: Yes! I really love your singing voice and I enjoyed your performance on Ongaku no Hi
Sayanee: eeh, from yesterday? thank you, I'm happy to hear that!
Me: I'm excited for your album
Sayanee: Thank you

Matsui Jurina

Me: Hollywood Jurina is the best!
Jurina: thank you.
me: I'm also happy to meet Jurina with black hair
Jurina: Do you like both?
Me: Yes, of course!
Jurina: Thank you~
Me: Which one do you prefer:
Jurina: mmmh, that's hard..
Me: I feel you

5th slot

Matsui Jurina


Me: Yahhoo
Jurina: Yahhoo
Me: I'm going back to Germany, so this will be the last time for now
Jurina: Eeeh :(
Me: But I want to come back and meet you again!
Jurina: You promise?
Me: Yes! *making the pinky promise* I love you the most
Jurina: Thank you <3

6th slot

Yamamoto Sayaka


OJS48: Thank you. You also came in the 4th slot
Me: And in the 3rd one
OJS48: Wow, thank you so much
Me: And thank you!

Sayanee: You came for a 3rd time! Thank you
Me: Yes. But I'm just studying in Japan right now and I'll be going back to Germany soon
Sayanee: Oh, you are from Germany!
Me: Yep. So this is the last time
Sayanee: Eeeh so sad.. Please come back!
Me: I want to come again. I support you
Sayanee: Thank you~

OJS48: Please come back again. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu
Me: Yoroshiku onegaishimasu

It was so funny to talk to the same Staff member and that he recognized me again. It made tjis experience so much more special. Sayanee was simply amazing and I had the time of my life!
Seeing Jurina was lovely and I really hope I can see her again in some way.
This was one of the best handshake events and definitely one of the least chaotic ones lol (especially compared to the previous one).

Best,
Ronja

AKB48 - Shoot Sign - Handshake Event 2017.06.25

This event was again at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, just like the events in January 2017. Because of that I wasn't as nervous as I was at some other events. But this would be the first time to meet Suda Akari, one of my all time favourite Idols. Adding to that, I was having tickets to meet Jurina again (for the first time in 6 months).

So when I arrived, I was heading to the SKE48 lanes and waiting for Dasu.

3rd slot

Okay, so as I was standing in line for Dasu, I could see Jurina next to her.. She was wearing a mask and looked really tired. I was instantely worried about her and as much as I wanted to meet her, I wanted her to rest!!
But first, I was meeting Suda and that was amazing:

Suda Akari

Me: Hello, I always wanted to meet you. I love you!
Dasu: Eeeh, thank you! Your Japanese is good
Me: Eeh
Dasu: Where are you from?
Me: From Germany
Dasu: Oh, Wiener right? So delicious
Me: Haha, right
Dasu: And beer is good too
Me: You drank German beer before?
Dasu: Yes! Fruits beer right? Beer with fruits
Me: wow, amazing
Dasu: Yeah right *waves*

Wow, I'm not kidding this was the best first Handshake I ever had. People aren't joking when they say she is the handshake queen. I already love her so much and this made me even happier. Dasu is so funny, cute and I think it's so cool that she likes German Sausages and Beer. XD Best thing ever.. (I had two tickets by the way)

I was still happy with this handshake, when it was announced that Jurina is not going to participate in this event anymore. It was still kind of sad, but I really really wanted to her to get better. I'm always worried about Jurina's health. And good thing is, that I already had tickets for the next single's event for her. But since this was the last event for the Shoot Sign single, staff wasn't sure if I could still use her tickets from this event there.. So I thought I would maybe see some other girls instead, because you can exchange tickets for other (less popular) members. I think that's cool, especially if the girl you have a ticket for is ill.

4th slot

But first of all, I had a really special ticket for some: Mayuyu!

Watanabe Mayu

Me: I love you! I'm sad aout our graduation announcement but I will support you
Mayu: Thank you

Wow, that was the shortest and most boring handshake ever. I mean, I can't blame Mayuyu but she also wasn't too escited and everything just went so fast.. She looked really cute though..

Taniguchi Megu

Me: Congrats on being 45th place in the Election
Magu: Thank you! Long time no see~
Me: Eh, you remember me?
Megu: Yes, you're from Germany right
Me: Yeah, Dankeschön
Megu: Dankeschön, dankeschön

I was sooo happy to meet Megu again! She is the sweetest, and she remembered me *-*

This time I was also not having too much time, but I tried to get Ogiyuka's sign (remember when I got a stamp from the last event that I could still use the sign ticket).
I still had to wait a bit, but not as long as last time. It felt weird because I was the only one with a CD though..

Ogino Yuka

Yuka: Hello (in English)
Me: Hello, thank you!
Yuka: *sees the CD* Ah, thank you for coming today
Me: No, thank you, I'm happy to be able to meet you!
Yuka: Waah, I'm happy. Ronja-chan right
Me: Yes. Congrats on being 5th in the election
Yuka: Thank you~~~~ waaah, I'm so happy
Me: Your Showroom is so funny. And you're so cute
Yuka: Really? Thank you so much! Please come again
Me: I'd like to!
Yuka: Bye bye


Seriously, she is amazing! So funny and open and happy.. She took so much time to talk to me and I guess everyone else was jealous, because they got way less time with her at the normal handshake.. Ogiyuka just started rising and I'm so happy to be able to talk to her and see in person how amazing she is!

5th slot

In this slot I finally had to decide what to do with my Jurina tickets.. So, I decided to use three of them for other members and keep one just in case for the next event.

Futamura Haruka

Me: Hello, I like you so much
Harutamu: Thank you~
Me: I'm sad that you are graduating but good luck to you!
Harutamu: Thank you! Your Japanese is really good
Me: Not yet
Harutamu: Where are you from (English)
Me: Germany
Harutamu: Guten Tag!
Me: Eeeeeeh, wow. Thank you!
Harutamu: Thank you *waves*

I was so happy to see Harutamu, since she just announced her graduation shortly before. She is part of the SKE48 that I really liked around 2014 and I always had a soft spot for her. I thought she would be rising even higher, but I understand her decision to leave the group. She was so so so beautiful, I'm not kidding. She is definitely one of the most beautiful Idols I ever met!

6th slot

Suda Akari

Dasu: Okaeri
Me: Tadaima! Congrats on being 6th in the election
Dasu: Thank you~~~ I want to go to Germany!
Me: Please come, I'll wait for you

Wow, one ticket with her is really not enough to talk about anything.. It was still really nice and she said Okaeri *-*

Kitagawa Ryouha

So I was meeting another foreign SKE fan and I was actually talking to him about how I'm not sure if I should change the tickets. I asked him about Ryoha and he said I should give it a shot, especially if I also mentioned Miyazawa Sae (we talked about her since we both loved her). So I thought to give Ryouha a try:

Uha: Eeeh
Me: Hello, you're cute
Uha: Thank you
Me: I was also a Miyazawa Sae Oshi
Uha: Tebasaki~
Me: Tebasaki~ I support you!
Uha: Thank you~~~

Ryouha was a bit surprised to see a foreigner.. And you could literally see her face lighten up when I mentioned Sae! That was the cutes thing ever. I see how she can be a bit shy otherwise but it was really nice to meet her!

I changed another ticket for a member who I also liked for quite some time (and who was just elected as Next Girls center):

Kato Yuuka

Uuka: Eeeh
Me: Hello, Congrats on being 33rd
Uuka: Thank you (in English)
Me: Ooh English! Thank you
Uuka: Thank you *makes heart pose*

Uuka was really cute, her smile was brighter than the sun. But really, it was so cool to meet her and she was just making heart poses and winking in the end.. so cute!

7th slot

I had one ticket left with Dasu..

Suda Akari

Me: I'm back!
Dasu: Wow, the 3rd time
Me: Yeah, but this will be the last time.. I'm sad
Dasu: So sad :(
Me: I will support you from Germany!
Dasu: Yay. let's do our best! How do you say 'I love you' in German?
Me: Ich liebe dich
Dasu: Eh
Me: Ich liebe dich
Dasu: Ih liiidi?
Me: That's ok, thank you so much
Dasu: I'm gonna learn that. Thank you!

This was quite long for only one ticket, but Dasu was holding my hands really tight.. She didn't want to let got, so staff couldn't push me out until she let go. The conversation was fun and just the whole situation was amazing.. I hope she will remember me, but I don't even know if I will ever meet ehr again.. would be cool though :)

Another really cool day, and since I was tired after that I went home.

AKB48 - Thumbnail - 2Shot and Sign Event 2017.06.04

With buying a few copies of AKB48's album Thumbnail, I also applied for 2shots. Which means, you can apply to take a picture with your favourite Idols. I didn't want to go overboard and buy too many copies and I did win some of my favourite members.. But, as much as I applied, I sadly didn't get any picture with Jurina :( That's one of the saddest things of my year abroad, but yeah XD
Also, with the two shot tickets you were able to get Tickets for a Sign and you could use it for any member on the day of the two shot event. Well, you had to check the schedule and popular members weren't available on the day I went.. But I searched for the schedule before and was lucky that I could make it to get some signs of my favourite members.

This time the event was inYokohama, it was Pacifico Yokohama. I never went inside the big hall, but I knew the place, so I was quite relaxed. I still remember it being a nice day and me walking to the event in the sun.
Even though I didn't have two shot tickets until the 6th slot, I went there for one slot earlier because of Megu. Her slot for the Signing was 5th slot, so I went to meet her. I wasn't sure about the system but you could really just use it on any member. On the Sign ticket you had to write your name, which is why the members actually used my name when they were signing. That was really cool XD Oh and you could only let them sign your Thumbnail CD. At the Ticket check, you could also win a cheki, which would also be really cool..
So here is my first talk of the day:

5th slot 

Taniguchi Megu (Sign)

Me: Hello
Megu: Ronja-chan, hello
Me: You're cute!
Megu: Thank you (in English)
Me: Wow, English. I'm from Germany
Megu: Do you speak English in Germany? No, German right?
Me: Yes, German.
Megu: Ooooh wow, what's 'Thank you' mean in German?
Me: Dankeschön
Megu: Gankeshen?
Me: Dankeschön. Da Da
Megu: Dankesheen?
Me: Yeah, that's good!
Megu: Maybe I will start learning German
Me: Good luck with that
Megu: German is so cool
Me: Haha
Megu: thank you for coming, Dankeshen
Me: Dankeschön!


Megu blew me away again. She is so cute and nice and seems so interested when she is talking. You know, she just had to sign but she took her time and asked me things. That was so sweet of her and I'm just really happy that I decided to meet her again.. Even though she first though we speak English in Germany.. xD

I also only had one member in the next slot and it was Okada Nana. I was so excited to see her!! But it was also the first time to take a picture with an AKB member.. For these events the staff uses your phone, and I was just hoping my phone would actually take pictures..

6th slot 

Okada Nana (Picture)

Me: Hello
Nana: Hello
Me: Is Heart pose okay?
Nana: Of course. Your Japanese is really good
Me: Thank you
Nana: Where are you from?
Me: From Germany
Nana: Germany, wow! I want to go there
Me: Please come
Nana: Thank you!
Me: Thank you!


Naachan was also really really nice and cute. BUT wtf happened with the picture.. It's kind of blurred, which makes me sad. But it was still so nice to meet her and I still like the picture :)

Since I had time, I decided to already line up for Ogiyuka's sign event.. I wanted to get her sign, in the next slot. But there were soooo many people. I was waiting for more than one hour and the 7th slot already started. I had three other members for slot 7, so I really couldn't wait any longer. Just when I thought that, a staff member was asking if there were any Ogiyuka fans that could come another day. I took the chance and he put a stamp on my ticket, so I could use it for another day. This was already exciting, but this slot was truly amazing.

7th slot 

I was going to the next member's line: Kinoshita Momoka. I really think she's so funny and I wanted to meet her.. So, as I was hurrying through her ticket check, I actually WON A CHEKI. WTF! I was so shocked, I didn't expect this xD There was literally only 3 people waiting to meet her and I won.. wow, I couldn't believe it. I think I was still in shock when it was my turn

Kinoshita Momoka (picture)

Me: Hello
Momoka: Ooooh, hello
Me: Let's do this pose
..
Momka: Your name is Ronja?
Me: Yes, I'm from Germany.
Momoka: Eeh, Germany is cool. Thank you so much!
Me: Thank you!



This was actually quite fast, even though she didn't have, many people waiting in line.. Momoka is a really funny member, but I already expected her not to be easiest member to talk to.. But it was quite good! She was really nice and I think I was just a bit nervous, especially because I won the Cheki. It was still really cool to meet her.
But I had to get going to the next one. Actually, Ogiyuka and Momoka's lanes were on the right side of the hall, actually quite far away from the AKB girls.. So I really had to go quite far to go back to the remaining girls I had to meet in this slot..

Tano Yuka (Sign)

Me: Tano-chan, Hello. You're so cute
Yuka: Really? Thank you
Me: I'm from Germany
Yuka: Eeeeeh, Germany. That's great!
Me: Thank you so much, Bye bye
Yuka: Bye bye~


I didn't just say it.. She is really cute and so stylish.
This was quite fast, especially compared to when Megu signed it.. But I had to hurry anyways, and speaking of Megu..

Taniguchi Megu (Picture)

Megu: Aaah, I'm so happy
Me: Let's do a Heart pose.
..
Me: Thank you so much
Megu: Merci
Me: Thank you


So, since she was the last one in this slot, I was a bit more relaxed already. And seeing her again was just so nice. She didn't remember the Dankeschön, but she just said Merci instead? XD So cute! ANd she seemed happy to see me again and happy Idols make me happy too!!

There wasn't much time until the next slot, so I didn't do much. And then I lined up again for Tano Yuka.

8th slot

Tano Yuka

Yuka: Oh, you're from before.
Me: Yes! Let's do this pose
Yuka: Okay!
Me: I'm so happy to meet you!
Yuka: Thank you!!


And she actually recognized me, haha! I don't know what that pose is.. I kind of wanted it to be something like I did with Momoka, but Tano just did this and I went with it.. Well, it was fun anyways.

In the end, I have to say how happy I am to have a picture with Tano-chan and Momka, since both of them graduated by now. Especially Tano was recently and she was also one of my favourite members for a long time.. But I hope that both of them will be happy in the future as well!
After this event I was really tired and I still got to meet up with a friend in Yokohama. It was a nice day! xD

Morning Musume '17 Handshake Event at Shibuya Belle Sale First 2017.05.28

I am writing about my last Morning Musume '17 Handshake Experience.
It was again at Shibuya Belle Sale First on 2017.05.28. 
This time I met quite a few of the member so it was busy, but a lot of fun!

3rd

Ikuta Erina
Me: Eripon, I love you!
Eripon: Thank you!
Me: You know, I've been to the Budokan concert and it was so much fun. Eripon was awesome!!
Eripon: Thank you! Please come again

4th

Oda Sakura
Me: Odachan, I love you!
Oda: Eeee Thank you!
Me: Budokan was so much fun. Thank you!
Oda: I'm happy, thank you!

She's so damn beautiful!

Kaga Kaede
Me: I love you since your Kenshuusei time!!
Kaedy: eeee thank you!
Me: I had to cry when you were finally performing in Budokan.
Kaedy: Thank you

Haga Akane
Me: Haga-chan you're awesome!
Haga: Thank you!
Me: You were awesome in Budokan
Haga: Thankyouuuu

Oda Sakura
Me: I'm back!
Oda: Thank you!
Me: In the video of Morning Musume Shiru it looks like you had so much fun.
Oda: It was a lot of fun!
Me: That's nice!!
Oda: Eh, wait the video?
(I think she was confused, but she did say she had fun haha)
Me: Odachaaaaaan

5th

Makino Maria
 
Me: MarianRaburin
Maria: Maria LOVErin desuuu!!
Me: Aaaaa so cute! I really liked your birthday event, I had a lot of fun!
Maria: Thank you so much! (wave)
Me: I love you~

Haga Akane
Me: Hagachaaaan
What did you think  about Duu's poem? (Budokan)
Haga: That was really cute
Me: I'm glad

(it took me too long to explain the question. I kind of wanted to mention something about Duu since Akane loves her so much and I do, too.. But I didn't want to ask her about Duu's graduation, so I decided for the poem.. Was okay, but Akane also looked a bit tired, poor baby)

Ikuta Erina
Me: The Wakame soup was good?
Eripon: Yes, it was delicious!
Me: That's nice! Please come to Europe!!
Eripon: I want to go!!
Me: Where do you want to go the most?
Eripon: EUROPE??

6th

Ogata Haruna

Me: You're so cute!
Haachin: Thank you!
Me: Budokan was awesome!
Haachin: Thank you, please come again!
Me: Yes
Haachin: Your Japanese is really good!

I can't lie, I didn't really know what I would talk about with Haachin. But she was very sweet and I just wanted her to know that I really enjoyed her performance at Budokan. It's helpful that I recently went to a concert before this Event! :)

Kaga Kaede
Me: Seems like you had fun with Maria just now.
Kaedy: Yes, it was interesting!
Me: How is it to be in Morning Musume?
Kaedy: It's so much fun!
Me: That's so nice to hear!

I heard Maria and Kaedy having fun in the background before and it made me so so happy that they are in Morning Musume together!!

Kudo Haruka
Me: Kuduu is the best!!
Thank you so so so much. Thank you for being an Idol. Kansha Kangeki Kuduu
both: KANDUUU!
Me: I love you!
Duu: Thank you so much!

The handshake with Duu was too short.. I would have given so much to meet her again and for a longer time. But I'm so glad I got to meet her again!

Nogizaka46 being epic with Influencer

Are you ready for a review? I didn't write one in almost half a year, so let's do this

Today I'm going to review Nogizaka46's Influencer. It was released in March 2017 and it was their first single that sold 1 Million copies! CONGRATS! I feel like this single established them even more as a top Idol group! And on top of that it is one of my favourite songs of them ever.



I'm so in love, I just had to put these two covers (the other covers are cool too, btw). This is a double center of Maiyan and Naachan anyways, so it feels appropriate to show you both of these amazing women. It was really exciting to see this single being released in Japan, it was quite a hype. Nogi is so big right now, it's just so much fan to be a fan (if only I would've met Nanase though). I heard this song EVERYWHERE. Most people knew it and I just really love singing it at Karaoke!

Influencer is a fast dance number with some cool strings and awesome instrumentals in general.. Starting with lots of Bun Bun Bun, it gives an interesting first impression and an edgy vibe. While the verses are quite soft, the chorus is really dramatic and fast.. I like these kind of songs, because you have a nice build-up for the chorus. Here in particular I'm in love the melody and the voices. It makes sense to have more vocals in the chorus as it gives a full experience of what this group has to offer. The last chorus-y bridge starting with a quieter instrumental and Maiyan and Nanase's voices only, shows a different side and makes the end even more dramatic. The lyrics are, despite what some people think, not about the virus Influenza (it was quite strong in Japan though when this song was released). It's about a person who is an Influencer and how they are ''like the Earth and the Sun'', and one is always influencing the other. Maybe it is, after all, about the virus influencing people? Just kidding, but the lyrics are quite poetic and really well written.

Let's take a look at the video now:


It starts in a very big hall and we can see two people in the miidle


Of course, our lovely centers. Nanase and Maiyan!!


And here come all the members! I like the black&white styling


Wow, I'm in love with Maiyan's sharp face features. And the lipstick *-*


And Naachan looks so soft.. They are both so different, but they both represent Nogi equally


I'm in love with this style and these lipsticks


Beautiful Misa in the house


Damn, I can't believe Ashurin is all grown up (and even centered a single before)


Miona salutes Nogizaka forever


Manatsu is as funny as ever xD


Reika is still the most beautiful! She may not be my favourite member but I like her so much


Ikuchan and Sayuringo letting us know that this song is calles Influencer.. Thanky guys


Kazumi and IKOMAAAA (can't believe she graduated)



Yuri and Hina <3
Okay, this dance is simply amazing.. And so hard, I tried to do it


I can't believe I'm crying over graduated members now.. Why did you leave Marikaa?


This font looks like a cheap movie title



Why so serious Sayuri?


Uh, Maiyan at a different place now.. With some interesting plants in the background


And of course her bae Nanase is here too


These two are amazing.. And I love the purple light



Why so beautiful??


why are they doing that?


Awww innocent Ashu..


What are you doing kid?


Miona: We're not kids


Okay, so at first I wasn't sure how to feel about these outfits.. But I really like the colours and now I'm kind of digging them


Everyone looks cool in this video, even Manatsu


Wakatsuki looks almost sad though


So cool!


Aaaah Sayurin


And Ikuchan looks like a model



I love these women.. I would die for these women..


Dramatic hair


Okay, all of these stills are so beautiful, I can't


I want this picture of Sayurin everywhere


So cool..


I love these colours.. the mix of blue and purple might be my favourite colour combination


And the dance is so cool! I regret not learning everything of it when one girl was teaching it at the Idol club (she was amazing)


I would completely fail at this though


Short haired Naachan is so lovely


Even if it's only half of her face, you can simply tell it's Ashu


What are they doing at a bar though? Drinking?


So nice to see Kana in this single


She makes me laugh all the time, but here she is just really cool


Looking closer at the outfits, this is some fish scale look




They make it look so easy.. It's hard af


Finally some time to relax


No time to relax.. never


NAACHAN x PYNK


The high quality of this video


Ashurin touching Kazumi and Kazumi just ignoring her..


Who might this be?


Ashurin: I don't care.. I only want Kazumi


Kazumi: No


Sayurin looks like a doll


Ooooh it's Miona with her


Miona: No touching the Ringo please


Is that Manatsu with wakatsuki? Where is Wakasama's wife Reika?


Here she is.. (with Misa?)


A WOMAN!!


Marika looks like a vampire here XD


I like her being center.. and I like the outfits


Minami is a real doll though


Nice to see Hinako in this video. More 2nd gen representation



Marika looks so serious



YASSSS


This is some beautiful sh*t right here


I'm really digging Ikoma and Kana's looks in this



Who are you kabedonning?


Themselves?


Feeling the Ikoma loss right now


I mean WHAAAT


A SU KA!!


Finally, my girl Ranze *-*


Is Wakatsuki just laughing at Kazumi or is she evil?


Can you believe this beauty?


I'm in love with Naachan's hair!


More dancing! And some red light


Should I feel threatened?


I want Maiyan's skirt



Who are you?
Nanase: Oh come on..



Maiyan in purple light


And the shadows, wow


Step away


It's the double center we deserve!


I like how the outfits are slightly different in colour or shape


Cutie Asu


They are judging you


NICE


Stop, in the name of love!



This arm movement though


I simply love this group!


So fast..



WE ARE NOGIZAKA46!!




The end of the epic Influencer!

The video gives no clue as to what's happening in the song, but it's a masterpiece on its own. An epic dance with beautiful outfits and interesting colour schemes not only in the clothing but also in the background and the lighs? Count me in for it, this is absolutely amazing. Okay, I have been watching this video since it was released more than one year ago, but it still impresses me today!! The members look stunning and I like this classic look (and red lipstick for the win). The purple/ blueish outfits grew on me and I do like them a lot. Seeing the members doing this hard dance and looking so amazing made me respect them even more. I do understand why so many of them have modelling careers.. wow. Nanase made her sad look turn into a dramatic battle with Maiyan's sharp bitch-face. These two are like the two sides of one coin and I just hope we will see them like this for some time longer (I'm scared they are gonna graduate soon..). But everyone in this video was doing a great job!

That's basically it, I hope you could follow my thoughts. Definitely an epic song and video, Nogizaka46 at its peak!
