Long time without posting here.

I have to say that I liked the song musically, it is something different from what they were used to and I think that is a good thing. The dance is very fast, and they have made a very dynamic performance and above all very coordinated between them.I have to give a negative point to the costume, I do not see it as anything suitable for the choreography. Stylists have to get their act together and try harder. It does not appear that they are reusing parts of old suits.

 

wow Yokochan in front row? what a suprise

 

I really enjoyed the song and the performance and I'm happy about the Naachan center and Miu's position

 

The song and the performance is great
Hiichan steal the spotlight for me tho, she gives the right amount of energy for the performance and that brief Hiichan-center towards the end is just..*chef's kiss*

 

I loved it!! The song is great and Naachan is a perfect center for it. Her solo verses at the beginning of the song were so nice.
The choreo is cool and the girls executed it so well, I'm really happy with this.

 

I love the song and the dance but I do think the outfits just looked dull and didn’t match it at all. They kind of remind me of a aitakatta/keibetsu shiteita aijou mix

 

This part really did it for me

Apparently they are trending. It is good considering they just performed it before official release on september.

 

A better seifuku will set the song on a bigger fire. I can’t help but thinking about Keyaki’s “Ambivalent” when listening to Nemo Hamo Rumor but this is far from a bad thing. AKB has stepped out of its shell and tried on something different than typical idol music

 

What a good song! I can feel AKB energy from this song, which makes them different from other groups.
The choreo is definitely awesome, especially the dance break and the ending. The song reminds me of No Way Man, but the choreo isnt messy

 

Hiichan has improved too much!!! Watch all the dance peformance, i think i know why they put Yokochan in front row.

 

Funny how everyone is saying the song is ‘so modern’ it's straight up a late 70s/early 80s song. If that's the incoming fad, I'm all for it.

 

I was thinking I didn’t necessarily get the Keyakizaka comparison… and then the pre-chorus hit. Definitely not calling the song derivative, but as a huge Keyaki fan(they/Sakurazaka are my favorite idol group) it definitely hit in a manner not entirely unlike some of their singles. That said, I ultimately think it has a decidedly AKB feel. I simply really, really like the song/choreo.

Do we know if they’ll be doing an online meguri for this single? If so, this may end up being the first AKB single I’ve bought since “Sukinanda.” I’d need to brush up on the newer members, however, as even in the senbatsu there are members I’ve never heard of or am just barely aware of.

 

It seems to have been her own choice to wear that looking at her Twitter posts:

In the second one she says (electronically translated) "I really like masks! I also love making black leather masks! Lol! Yeah! Various versions! I'm having too much fun!"

 

according to Shinobu's explanation it seems to be part of the costume.

It's actually good since she stands out and generate some buzz.

Also anyone caught the "Ponytail ni shushu" part of the lyric? Aki-P is having fun writing this. Can't wait for the full version.

Have AKB surpassed Nogizaka?

 

Despite the 1st performance that makes a lot of clearance, the rumor mill continues:
- Apparently, Naachan was taking some proteins with chocolate and mints every day

- Yuiri's costume was reportedly damaged during the rehearsals

- It seems the members took 3 weeks of lessons o learn the choregraphy

That's not true, she took a hiatus during the recording of Sustainable.
