Single Nogizaka46 17th (Influencer) (2017/03/22)

Absolutely stunning.

The MV is to simply put it, a work of art. The camera work, the settings, the lighting, everything is gorgeous and inspiring. Mass kudos to the director. My thoughts were everywhere trying to comprehend how gorgeous the girls look here, there were some shots that literally had my jaw dropping: "Is that really Manatsu looking this fantastic?!" "Ashu you've grown so much beautiful lady " "Jesus Reika are you trying to make me flatline with that drop dead gorgeous look into the camera" "Kazumin YOU DOLL YOU" "OMFG RINGO MY HEART CAN'T TAKE YOUR BEAUTY RN" "Who's that looking gorgeous and absolutely werking this dance sh-- IKOMA?!" "YASSSSS my mature kweens Maiyan and Nanasemaru you betta do eetttt" (okay admittedly I'm always saying that last one in my head ). The non-costume outfits were SO on point, it was like watching a fashion shoot in motion.


That audio rip truly didn't do the song justice. Without all the "nosiness" you have a bop here, catchy as hell. The difficulty of the choreography certainly wasn't overstated, I could tell the girls were pushed to their limits here. If they can pull this off live consistently, this single could be another home run for them. Probably not million selling home run but I'd like to be proven wrong.

 

Good luck! If you manage to get the tickets, please do say hi to the girls for me!

Their choreographer for this song, Seishiro, is intense AF. Check out his other works

No wonder the girls were crying were

 

Kinda surprising that Reika and Kazumin sold out much faster. But what happen to Misa and Asuka, they are usually up there with the first tier. Also Wakatsuki is usually on par with Reika. The 3rd gen is doing really well.
Glad that there is still a huge lead over the previous single despite so many missing and absences.

 

Fantastic MV! I can't really say something that hasn't been said already, just that I am really proud to be a fan of Nogizaka46.

 

The members who are doing the drama, their last 10 slots aren't available in the 3rd round. So there is nothing wrong with their selling situation. When the slots are open, they will be sold out easily.

 

Dayum this guy is fabulous. Please choreograph the next single too!

 

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining. No cause to be concerned then.

 

They choose right choreographer. His style suit with Nogi. Elegant.

 

Spoiler: ikuchan

 

That's what I meant. She was there in that opening shot, but not in this dance sequence. She's supposed to be between Ikoma and Sayuringo.All 18 members are there except for her. (Nanase and Maiyan were dancing separately).

 

LOL, what's so funny Captain?

 

Holy Kanarin
I wonder how live will look like. They are moving quite fast and with lots of hand gestures. As long as it's not with that mic attached to the ear and lip syncing

 

Hello!!! I'm new here, my first thread comment yoroshikuuu...

I think 17th PV is the best PV to date, great dance, great song, perfect girls..

Ikuchan perfect, marikka & waka awesome. Been wondering since I watched the PV, is it only me that see resemblance of nanamin in maiyan in some shot and asuka in others? oh i miss her so much already

 

When I heard the song for the first time it was just "ok" for me.
After I watched the MV I was blasted away
Can't get the song out of my head

All the girls look so stunning, matured and the choreo is really heavy!
At the end of the MV you can see that maiyan and nanasemaru were out of breath because of the heavy routine

Ikuta has a tight schedule who will fill in her position on all the music shows? (I'm rooting for rottii)
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

 

This single is totally good. The song, the mv, the dance, ahh so beautiful. If only they chose a somewhat better costume and fonts, this is a 10/10.

 

I always think the choreo that are deemed as hard always involve too much hand movement..i dont why the choreographer like that. with 16+ girls, most of the time it's gonna look messy.
Girls are looking good as always.

 

Me too! On 00:27 - 00:29, I thought the girl on that scene is Nanamin. After watched it once more, it is Maiyan!

 

The lyric for Third Wind is so lit and i like the music too (Especially the chorus, it'll certainly get the tension up during live performance), i'm curious about the MV.
