So Nogizaka46 already announced the line-up of their 9th single. And I didn't even review their 8th single. aarrgh.
Well, why not now?? :))
Nogizaka46's 8th single is called ''Kidzuitara Kataomoi'' and was released in April.
The concept of the covers already seems interesting. The theme is: smiling while crying. Some of the members portraied that pretty well.. while some look a bit creepy.. :'D Reika looks beautiful of course! *-*
Oh an I'm so happy that Nanase is the center for this songle and even has a solo cover. I mean, she's the handshake queen and this single is (by far) their best selling single ever. Hell, they had a better first week than HKT48, NMB48 AND SKE48!!! Great job, girls. :) (although I'm still sad that SKE sold so low. Nooo, why??) *cough*
Anyways, about ''Kidzuitara Kataomoi'' it's actually a very beautiful song. It's emotional and the voices of the members are very pretty. It's a song where you can just feel what the singers want to portray. I just love how Nogi has such a classic song. This is probably on par with Barrette in terms of song quality. Which means that Nogizaka releases pretty good songs for an Idol group!!! I even think this is the best 48/46 A-side out of the bunch that were released this spring. Obviously I'm not the only person who thought that this is a great song or it wouldn't have sold so much. xD
But now it's time for the video review!! :D
Hi there pretty dandelion and two hands!
Awww, Nanase!! Over the past months I really started to like this girl, too! :)
And I don't know, her smile has something so odd that at the same time it's beautiful.. xD
Okay, so someone filmed Naachan.
It's Miona! Hi there ex-center!! xD
So she's in a hospital. And there's an emergency.
Nice watch. And poor person.. :/
Haha, her exes really look a bit dead..
Oh.. OH. SO the girl is Naachan? Naachan had an emergency?
Okay, seeing the kanji of ''dying'' probably isn't a good sign..
Is she dying?
Is that Naachan with the dandelion from before?
Maiyan is being told that Naachan is dead, or what?
So she tries to wake up Nanase?
Mai: Nanase!! Nanase!
Damn, this is so sad.. :'(
Are? Nanase?
Why can't we already see her face?
Other members being happy foor Nanase.
Aww, Reika! :D
Nanami: Omedetou~
Ah, so Nanase is the center of the new single. Who would have guessed?
Aw, she looks cute, doesn't she?
Lol, at the other members.. xD
But didn't Nanase die before?
And what has the dandelion to do with this??
So the members start practising the song.
But Nanase doesn't look too happy.
And her relation with Maiyan doesn't seem to be that great either..
But at least she and Nanami have a good relation.
And the dandelion again. Well, it seems to be pretty important for Nanase.
Nanase: Mai?
Oh come on Mai, don't be such a bitch..
Ikoma, long time no see.
Nanase looks as if she wants to kill someone.
Naachan: Maiyan, what-
Oh no, she fell down.. :o
It's raining and the dandelion gets wet. So, Nanase is a dandelion? That's the reason why she's there, even though she died before? B-But that also means she will die when the dandelion dies? And when all the petals will fly away? So, she won't be there for a long time..
Maiyan: Rain???
Oh no..
Nanami is going outside..
.. only to see that Maiyan is protecting the dandelion.
Mai looks so sad here. :(
Nanase is still losing petals.
Butt she wakes up soon after that and everyone watches over her.
Maiyan and Nanami come back from outside. Wow, Nanami looks so cool here!
Mai hugs Naachan! This is beautiful yet sad. Seems like Maiyan isn't angry but since she knows about Nanase and the dandelion she was a bit odd before.
Nanami si like the mother watching over all of them..
Group hug. Damn, this is so sad..
So Naachan knows about the dandelion.
Yeay, best friends again!
Now we see some nice scenes where everyone is happy..
..while the dandelion loses some petals.
They practise and have fun. So nice!
But Nanase feels weaker..
No, the dandelion dies.. which means, Nanase dies.. :(
Oh, she coughs and some petals come out of her month?
Iku-chan!! :D So sad she won't be in the next single..
Nice group photo!
The day of the performance of the new song.
But Nanase doesn't feel good..
She performs anyways..
I am not the biggest fan of the outfits but the danc eis beautiful.
Nooooo..
NOOOO!!
Nanase and the other members succesfully end the performance!
But the last petal of the dandelion flies away..
Nanase: Arigatou!
And with that Nanase turns into a lot of dandelion petals..
Everyone who is left behind begins to cry. That's so sad.
And they are still on stage. How is the audience even reacting?
The beautiful and the last petal comes flying..
Baye, bye, Nanase!!
Honestly, I cried so much when I watched this video for the first time. And even now I feel so sad reviewing it! This is how you make a sad video! It was sooo sad how Nanase was a dandelion and kept getting weaker over the video. In the end she dies. Well actually she already was dead in the beginning but could live for a short time. Except for the end, the saddest moment was when Maiyan protected the dandelion and Nanase was almost dying. And the hug after that.. OMG, so sad! Great story.
As much as I liked the story I'm a bit bummed that there was only screentime for the three main girls Nanase, Mai and Nanami. Miona, Ikoma and Erika also had a few scenes, but that's it. The rest was only shown for a few seconds.. This doesn't make the video bad, but I feel sorry for the other girls.. Oh, and I know so many more members now (also thanks to the latest AKBingo episodes) so I would have recognized so many ... Oh well..
But all in all this is a great single. Beautiful song and amazing video!
I feel extremely happy for Nogizaka46 and hope they will keep up like this.^^
I already look forward to see their next single!
Naachan and Maiyan
Surprise Edit:

WMatsui at the end..
Bye, bye ;)
