Morning Musume '24 - Nandaka Sentimental na Toki no Uta / SaiKIYOU (Regular Edition B) unboxing

 This is an unboxing of Morning Musume '24's Single Nandaka Sentimental na Toki no Uta / SaiKIYOU (Regular Edition B).

This single was released in August 2024 and served as Ishida Ayumi's last Single. However, she didn't officially call it her Graduation Single, as they still released an album with her after.

Another special thing about this Single is that it reached Number 1 on the Oricon Weekly Single Charts. This means every single Morning Musume member since their foundation has had at least one Number 1 Single. Congrats Momusu!!!

So let's take a look at the CD:

This is a very typical Momusu cover, I do like the black outfits. Rairii is definitely a highlight, and 12ki is looking fabulous.

I love that it's blue (Ayumi??), and maybe you can see how the design lools like the CD is cracked. But that is on purpose lol

Group shot with the Nandaka outfits. The white outfits are not the most interesting, but the members look pretty of course.

AND I GOT ODA!!!

Wow, I also got her for the Suggoi Fever, so this is pretty cool. I really liked her short hair so it's great to have this card.

As for the songs, I had to get used to Nadaka Sentimental na Toki no Uta, but it's great they got such a different song this time. It is more slow, and quite emotional. I especially love how everyone is getting a solo line and Harusan is really killing it!!

SaiKIYOU is a very high energy song and I would love to see it live. Chel is so cool with both her singing and also rapping. Talking about rap, that last bit of Yokoyan really sticks out, she brings so much energy.

Maybe it's not my favourite Single, but it is still pretty decent. I really hope Momusu will keep having better line distribution like this, and seeing 12ki and 15ki leading so makes me excuted for the future!!
