Nogizaka46 (乃木坂46) / Sakurazaka46 (櫻坂46) / Hinatazaka46 (日向坂46) Official Thread

[MatsuoBasho]

Hello~ I recently got into Keyakizaka46 and there's a performance I really want to watch but don't know how to look for =\ They're wearing a dark green and gold detailed uniform, I think it's one of the year end stages? 

 

From this event:

Would really appreciate the name of the stage or a link

[MatsuoBasho]

Welcome fellow e-girls fan! I think you might be talking about Kouhaku and check out nogi too haha.

Hello and thanks for the welcome ^^ Ah yes, thank you so much   I love their outfits. Actually, I first watched Nogi's Sayonara no Imi (love love love it) but then got side tracked into loving Keyaki haha. I do like the kakkoi style more (evident by egirls and happiness heheh) but I will listen to Nogi as well~

Captain and vice captain was chosen for keyaki.

 

Captain: Sugai Yuka

Vice: Akanen

Reaction video: https://twitter.com/tetineru/status/822647944092549120

 

Expected sugai would get it since she's been handling song introductions and Mc stuff whenever keyaki is doing a mini interview on music shows

Congratulations Yuukanen~ The twitter reaction is gone >< Is this from their latest Keyakitte Kakenai ep?

 

It was pretty obvious that Akanen and Yuuka would be made captain. I think it was a good choice.

 

 

 

The thing is, Fuuchan lacks popularity and she is at risk of leaving senbatsu in the future. She isn't a stable member. Captains usually are popular and guaranteed senbatsu members. But yeah, she would make a fine (vice) captain.

I'm completely new to this, can you explain the roles of captain and vice captain? After watching a few Keyaroom episodes it feels like there are members who feel awkward with Akanen, she seems like that popular lad with her inner circle xD Though she also seems super passionate so I'm sure she'll take the position to heart~

Captain and vice captain are supposed to be polite and well-spoken, since they speak for the group on TV shows, events, etc. Also, they should work as an intermediary between the group and management, and be very responsible and reliable, so the members can ask for their help and talk to them about anything, like their problems and worries.

 

Fuuchan isn't popular, and that's a problem because it's the captain's task to lead the group in TV shows or address a crowd, and Fuuchan is among the least likely to raise the excitement by talking. Any public representation is likely to become less effective when carried out by those who are not by those who at least have decent popularity.

Thank you for answering It's nice to know there isn't just one leader since there are so many members and they can discuss with each other. 

[MatsuoBasho]

hi y'all! pls help me decide ozeki chans badge. which one is the best?

 

ashfgkd i like them all #mess xD

#2 hooked me first but then I kept looking at them and became undecided cause they're all so pretty, she looks cool in the third one, too >< But I guess first impression is important so... I'll stick with choosing #2 

[MatsuoBasho]

Is the Heavy Rotation bc Haruyama related their old contract with AKB lol

The PV is cute. You don't see Nogi doing super cutesy style usually 

 

This shot of Nogi's top 2 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, the one I like is a Top 2 xD What are their names? I think the one on the right (mid-length hair) is my favourite right now ^^

[MatsuoBasho]

Left Shiraishi Mai...just scroll up lol

Right is Nishino Nanase. She's kinda quiet awkward cute and she's a Jojo Bizarre adventure fangirl lol

 

 

sorry i kinda skim through most things haha, i missed their names, thanks   the poses/imitations are so cuute   i was watching Keyaki's guesting on Nogi's show and i saw that she was kinda quiet but also somehow made me pay attention to her. i'm really a sucker for those types of characters/idols.

 

wahh hai saeko and yess nanase is my fave too ♥♥

and u like risa too omg my keyaki bias

wahhh same biases (+mina, too)     hello~~ i see you so often now xD 

 

also your band-maid sig!!! your sigs are always awesome btw, i keep noticing them 

[MatsuoBasho]

The amount and quality of photoshoots and photobook still amazes me, I can't get used to it, it's like an endless supply   Maiyan looks beyooond beautiful but I feel shy looking too long lols...

 

Also, I'm already looking forward to next week's Keyabingo!2, imma watch it raw 

 

 

+ Fuu-chan xD

Edited February 7, 2017 by saekokuga874

[MatsuoBasho]

Bless, thank you for uploading the photoshoots   I love the natural settings like with (Kobayashi) Yui-pon the most 

 

Also, HDB to Fuu-chan~ She had me really laugh out loud from the latest Keyabingo!2 episode.

 

I just found a site with so many of Nogi's subbed content and I'm just floored. Like I wonder if I can watch them at random or if it'd be better to start from the very beginning.. I was also floored when I saw how many songs they have on iTunes, yes 

[MatsuoBasho]

I'd suggest just watching from the beginning, because you get to see their progress

That's true ^^ I was all over the place w/ Keya. I should do this properly for Nogi xD 

[MatsuoBasho]

Congratulations on Hashimoto's graduation~ (since I'm new and don't know much I'll just be formal here ha)

 

lol @ me trying to sherlock that pic to figure out who's center.

J-fans identified the names. I wonder if it's close to the real formation.

Took me a bit before I realized 775 is Nanako lol The colour of the uniform is great but not sure about the red lining. Looking forward to seeing official pictures

 

Next Keyabingo ep we will have Shida cosplaying as a neko maid to try get a foreigner to say "cool"

 

CAN NOT WAIT!!!   

She seems like the type to dislike that stuff lol it's gonna be funny for sure

 

 

 

 

 

 

Risa♡

 

Risa    but photo shoots don't seem to do her justice!

[MatsuoBasho]

Influencer is a.ma.zing   I loved all the outfits, too, especially the one-set uniform! One thing I really appreciate nowadays is the camerawork for music videos, it shows the best of everyone even though there may have been mistakes here and there; you can't spot it. I'm sure they'll perfect it as they perform it more, but my god that choreography looks like hell. It doesn't seem like a hand mic will do at all... can idols perform with head mics for the entire promotion period? 

 

Also, I wish Reika had more shots cause she fits the genre and style the best imo >< 

 

 

I was surprised that was her with the long, iron-straight hair omg she looks so goood  And Ikoma's styling had me girl-crushing; Nakada slayed the sexy bit.

 

I liked this part that showcases them directly:

 

 

Btw, since I don't know Nogi well enough yet, is Marika their best dancer? She was really good and she was in the middle. Like how Keyaki has Fuyuuka and Suzumon, who are Nogi's go-to dancers? 

Edited March 3, 2017 by saekokuga874

[MatsuoBasho]

Ikoma, Kana, and Marika were really feeling this concept. And I love those black and white outfits. Prays that those will be their main outfit in performances.

 

 

 

Fun fact: Influencer MV was directed by the guy who did their documentary! 

 

I think Rotti is widely considered the best dancer in Nogizaka46, but she's not in senbatsu. I remember when they first debuted, they had a dance check and senbatsu on their variety show, Nogidoko, and these members were considered the best:

 

 

From left to right, top to bottom: Inoue Sayuri, Ikuta Erika, Saito Asuka, Nakada Kana, Ikoma Rina, Kawamura Mahiro (Rotti), Sakurai Reika. 

 

But that was when they first debuted, so it might be different now. 

Thanks for the info ^^ Ahh so Reika is/was also considered a good dancer, no wonder. From the gif in my last post, Reika was flawless~ her moves are pretty~

 

Kana has great charisma for this type of song, can't believe this is the idol otaku xD Rotti would've been nice for this concept, too - in general she reminds me of Suzumon with cute but can-be-deadly vibe. 

 

oo ty! that's who I thought it was but wasn't sure. Kana, ikoma, and nanase were slaying the wall part for me

marika as well

Same!! Marika was great in the scene where she centred the dance but for this wall choreo, I couldn't take my eyes off Kana, Ikoma and Nanase.

Guys, would you be interested in a Nogizaka x Keyaki/sakamichi ship badge? I need 6 people to request it with me...

I would support definitely! That way I can show my love for both groups but use less posts 

 

Btw, is there a preview or radio rip for this B-side? ä¸‰ç•ªç›®ã®é¢¨ / 3期生メンãƒãƒ¼ (from version D)

I only saw three songs from this thread, unless I skipped something by accident.

Edited March 6, 2017 by saekokuga874

Added you both.

 

Here's the voting thread:

Thank you, since I don't have anything to offer I'll keep the thread on watch. All the designs so far look great tho like wow 

 

Yup, it was posted. Here's a link:

 

I don't visit OH as often anymore ahh and now the video got taken down. Thank you for replying tho!

 

So I'm thinking of requesting a badge for Yuipon and I can't decide which badge to use... I would like your guys' opinions too.

I can't decide between the first and second ones. Please help. 

The first definitely 

 

Kitano Hinako's 1st Photobook has been announced! It's going to be released June 2017.

 

 

A Misa photobook would be nice too :o

 

Kitano! She's in my top 10, so cute <3 And so is Misa, so I agree with you guys she should get a photobook with like some fine dining and princess terrace backgrounds haha.

 

Igai Break DM link:

Another Ghost DM link:

 

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k5E0JZ2LZlPo00m4zrg

I really like both songs but Another Ghost is definitely on top! Music video-wise I like Igai Break more though, the Mario Kart references are so cute, especially when Sayuringo couldn't bear to throw the turtle   I was really surprised to learn more about Matsun as I watched their shows, she's so cute and introverted~

WakaRei    

I'm so predictable, I always get into popular ships. They're so CUTE  Their staff are shameless, I love it haha.

[MatsuoBasho]

haha yeah 

LMAO which episode is that bottom-left gif from? 

 

I just watched their Valentine event on Construction recently and when Reika said she "loved" Karin + them playing on Waka's reaction, Karin kept apologizing in the bg like she didn't mean to come in between the pair (at least I think it was her voice cause it didn't sound like Reika). 'Twas hilarious to me

Am I the only one who likes the headbanging and aggressive choreo in general? The chest pumping for Fuyu is definitely on the odd side though. I find it more weird how the choreo doesn't go all the way in one direction - the aggressiveness is mixed in with some detailed, elegant movement. Kata Mirai and Otona are both like that - but I end up liking the entire result, I wonder what makes it work o_O

 

 

Some Risa, cause she didn't get any solo shots even tho she looked so cool 

[MatsuoBasho]

@ the ZIP video about Nogi having lots of female fans. I love how even Akimoto is loved by their female fans, I had the impression those kind of cute characters are mostly adored by male fans.

 

 

"Q: What will you be doing after five years?

Techi: I wonder if I'll be married"

 

   You'll only be 20 in five years, Techi, you're way too young to be married 

I loled at this. Idk what her view on love/dating is, I imagined her to be indifferent cause she's so young but I guess she's got her imaginations, too xD

 

Change is always good,you always have to try out different things to see different results whether good or bad.I would like to see a W-Center that way the burden and pressure is split between both the centers knowing they can rely on each other.Can't always build a foundation on a single pillar.

 

As for their future releases i'm hoping they can work on a naval concept its gonna be lit time for them to really work on their concepts that they drafted in the beginning but seriously i don't know whether the military concept was a good choice or not considering Japan's history people (haters) be like its propaganda all over again   

Actually, I was even thinking maybe a W-Center with Techi and another member, so that the pressure gets split and the second centre can benefit from it/get used to the position. Then the single after, they can fully tag Hirate out for her much deserved break and have the second centre fill as a solo centre. (mainly I was thinking this bc I remember people commenting about keeping Hirate as centre for public recognition). The problem is if Hirate outshines the second centre aha.

 

Just for opinion's sake, which member do you think can stand beside Hirate as a W-Centre and keep up/not be too outshone? I'm curious what you guys think ><

 

For their future releases, a post-apocalyptic MV would be awesome, whether A or B-side lol The naval idea: a shooting on a ship would be so cool!

[MatsuoBasho]

wareta smartphone pv

After watching this, I realized how easily pleased I am   Fan service all the way! The song isn't my cup of tea tho but that won't stop me from re-watching it lol

[MatsuoBasho]

you should check out Tuning

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1INxcRssyxk

I've already watched it and I love the song! The MV is also great, I don't know why there are complaints about it. 

[MatsuoBasho]

Yup. I thought the time traveling thing was really a creative idea.

Creative and light, you can just enjoy watching it without thinking too much even if there are more hints in it. 

 

Wareta Smartphone is pretty much lesbian fanservice. I always love me some lesbian fanservice, so I approve the MV.

 

I didn't like the song, though.

Same x'D Maybe they planned for this to be a fan-service unit? Since they put most of the major pairings into one group (there's 3 unless they decide to create even more otps amongst themselves). If that's the idea then I look forward to their future MVs  And hopefully Five Cards can stay in the EDM genre bc Bokutachi no Sensou is still one of my fave Keyaki songs <3

Watching this made me want a Marika or Terada centre *-* Terada looks so good with this hairstyle~~

 

--

 

Also, this is a stupid question but what is the 48 or 46 supposed to stand for? Cause they don't actually have that number of members so I'm... clueless when I actually thought about it. 

[MatsuoBasho]

omg same actually, when i was watching the perf Ranze was catching my attention every time I got a glimpse of her

exactlyyyy. I think I saw a random clip where Reika mentioned she liked Terada in centre, too (when she was centre for an Under song(?)) 

 

well in the beginning, akb had 48 members and when nogi debuted, the 46 was supposed to directly challenge akb, saying that even with less members, they can still compete with akb

and now nogi has 46 members lol

Ah, I see, thanks ^^; So with the 3rd gen Nogi has a total of 46, that's cool
