Sakurazaka46 - Start over! (Limited Edition A) unboxing

It is time to do an unboxing of my favourite single of the summer!
Sakurazaka46 released their 6th single Start over! on June 28, 2023.
I was immediately drawn to this song and the music video is so cool.


Solo cover of our Center Fujiyoshi Karin. This looks pretty cool with Shibuya in the background.


Pink explosion


Oh wow, the DVD looks really amazing actually!


Back cover


Obi



Looks a little crazy, but it's still a pretty cool concept


Wow Karin really has some crazy aura


Yuipon going strong!!


This is 2nd Gen Ozono Rei.
She has caught my eye recently!


All of the Senbatsu members, which is actually all the members except for 3rd gen!



And here we have 3rd gen, the newbies.


So pretty!




And I got Murayama Miu as my photocard.
I don't know her at all but I am happy for the new generation.


One of the coolest things is actually this amazing poster!!
I love my 1st gen girlies and especially Habu looks so great.

4. Mr. TAKAHIRO explains Sakurazaka46 Highlights ~Nobody's fault~

As mentioned already, Start over! is such a great song. I can only call it a banger, and the music videi is so stunning. Karin totally devoured that center, but everyone is doing amazing!

I really don't know much about the 3rd generation, but Seijaku no Boryoku is definitely my favourite B-side. The talking is a key point as well, and it adds a somber feeling to the song. Also the lyrics are so sad... "I think silence is a form of violence" 

Kaze no Oto is very beautiful. As a big fan of the 1st gen and with Habu's graduation announcement, this song makes me especially emotional.

All in all I am really impressed by this whole single. I also really enjoyed Hinatazaka46's summer song, but Start over! is definitely my favourite.
In general, Sakurazaka46 is my favourite Sakamichi group. I am having a hard time with Nogizaka46, as I am sadly not a big fan of their music recently.

I almost went to see Sakurazaka46 in Paris, but it sadly was a very busy time for me. But in general, I appreciate how they appeal to international fans more and more.
