[GENERAL] The Nogizaka46 thread!

I see. I agree with you they shouldn't rely solely on the current aces. I have nothing against her, but Yamashita is not someone I can really imagine being a center though, but that's more of a subjective matter of course.

 

For this release

 

Talk about future ace, it should be Iwamoto. She will be an absolute ace at her 18. Take this with full grain of salt.

 

I'm sprinkling it on my fries right now!

To each their own.

 

Bet: 26th single this year or in 2021?

 

Late 2020 maybe

 

The clearer version.

It seems that Minamin, Yamachan, and Shiori in the front row.

 

I dont think thats the frontrow
Iku is definitely in front and Yoda as well

 

Yup, they always move around during the choreo. But since it's a digital release and coming out next friday, I'm having several thoughts about this. Anyway we won't wait long. Said it will be featured on ANN July 22, MSta July 24th.

 

Excited for this... So this is digital release? Which means no B-sides??
Well I guess better than nothing.

 

Yea don’t think that’s the front row. Wotas think it’ll be endo & hori flanking asuka followed by yoda & yamashita

 

If thats really the new single, they skip summer song huh. If its really the new single then i think theres no problem with Asuka center because a big thing like center change is too early, the moment there is a center change the management might push more of the younger gen on the lineup.
It will be better for a center change for the next year single.

 

They might wait with releasing a new single until they can do hs events properly again. Until then, I am happy with everything they give us.

Partial Google translation:
Saito Asuka serves as the center of the song, which has a title reminiscent of National Highway 246. It will be aired for the first time on Nippon Broadcasting "Nogizaka 46 All Night Nippon" which will be broadcast live from 25:00 on July 22nd, and the first performance will be scheduled on TV Asahi's "Music Station 3.5 hours SP" broadcast on July 24th.

 

If Miona end up flanking Asuka, I seriously do not understand Management's decision....

 

@tomosama And why is that?

 

Time to continue the discussion on its own thread.

 

i dont care who flanking asuka as long that girls has potential to be next ace but i prefer younger one so that girl can learn from their senior. because i think older member will graduate sooner.

 

i still think yamashita and yoda are going to be one of the face(maiyan, nanamin, sayuriin, ikuta, kazumin) instead of the ace(naachan and ikoma). plus asuka is still climbing to peak, and she probably gonna take the spotlight and centre for 2 or 3 times unless the management see her as absolute ace like ikoma and naachan. not sure how they gonna push endo and kaki(and 4th gen generally) because 3rd themselves still need the fukujin position.

 

If your definition of Ace is what management favors, Asuka is already there. It was obvious since Sing Out! last year that she is the current management favorite or ace in your terms. She will continue racking up the centers, but Nogizaka needs to add to their ace roster.

If there is a member already as management's ace in the hole, then she should be pushed to that position. They should do it sooner than later -- just look at 48G to see the troubles of not preparing succession well.

I like Asuka, and I like Asuka's Nogizaka, but Nogizaka works on a different level with 2 aces. Now that Maiyan is all but graduated it would behoove them to crown that 2nd ace lest they seek a name change for the group.
