Single Nogizaka46 34th Single [Monopoly] (2023.12.06)

joshuseki.. okay.. pretty chill song for those 3..
hitsujikaiyo.. like it.. but lyrics tho just counting numbers..
hamburger is cute.. but not too overwhelmingly.. quite nice
Stylish too retro for me.. well i guess with babumi-sensei its fit perfectly

overall the songs are decent.. but.. its a bit disappointing..
i expected more with those unit combination

also where is under song...

 

The unit songs are pretty nice, but nothing so far makes me go wow...
Only under song left, curious who will be center, or will it be w-center? So far most w-center single will have w-center unders as well.
And I hope we still get 2 more MVs.

^ It's time to kick most of 3ki/4ki out of the senbatsu to make place for the 5ki.

 

They will be performing on Best Artist 2023 this Saturday

Wow... I wasn't looking but the release is next week! Can we get a few more MVs this weekend?

 

Yuna certainly will be relegated to Unders next single. :/ I think a lot of her fans may have oshihen.

 

Very likely. And we all know Mukai and Kuromi will also go back to Under. That's 3 spots available next single. So 9 5th gen is very possible. Speaking of Under, it would probably gat a MV. If there is a 4th MV, which one could it be? Yama or Yoda unit?

 

tbh i wish ayamen would leave senbatsu at least once, i think she could grow a bit more if she was an under for a single

 

It's not this weekend but it's the Unders MV: https://www.nogizaka46.com/s/n46/news/detail/66890?ima=3636&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Man, if it's only 3 MVs, that's going to be a disappointment.

 

Finger cross for Mizuki-Kaki-Satsuki trio. The song is called "Stylist" so it would be an MV full of visual and fashionista. Give me the Nogi's best face please.

I think that would be a death knell for her or any reoccurring senbatsu member really especially with such fierce competition and the possibility of 6Ki.

 

man, it’s still early for 6ki but it’s true fierce competition since 5ki is catching up so fast and I would still want to be some senpai to be in next senbatsu

 

Just look at how quickly Rei fell off.

 

It's a hard one to judge where management should go with the next senbatsu lineup, especially with regard to the strength of the 5th gen.

On the one hand i think 3rd and 4th gen were both also strong around this amount of time after their debut, and we then saw some falling away over time. 5th gen also have the added benefit of debuting into a post-1st gen environment.

On the other hand, even with the above being true they are objectively stronger than any previous generation in respect of hs sales. Maybe they really are just a golden generation and management should run with that.

For my part, as unlikely as it is, I would like to see Kuromi and Mukai remain in senbatsu. They are both continuing to grow in their hs results this single, and even though they are below some of the 5th gen I think the longer you've been around the harder it is to build momentum and have that break-out. I'd like to see management invest in them, especially Kuromi being from the new 'unlucky' generation 4.5

 

I have to say after a few days of listening that both Monopoly and the 5ki song just land in "boring" territory for me which is a tragedy because both MVs are among my favorites visually, they are both gorgeous and make the members stand out so much but at the end of the day I repeat for the music.

Both MVs seem to be slow in Youtube views so this is probably a general sentiment, sadly.

I haven't listened to the Unit songs and still Unders Song left so I hope I like something there.

Congratulation! Aruno Under Song Center!!!

First Under Song Impression:
MV - simple, beautiful, and cute. I love the sky blue color tone they use here. Too bad no story and weird stuff that most Under MV have. Coincidentally, the color is also Aruno's penlight color.

Song - is simple and cute. Some parts remind me of the old Nogi song, there is a sad and happy feeling within the melody. Need to wait for the lyrics to learn more about what the song tries to tell to fans.

 

Congratulations, Aruno!

Here's the formation:


They're also doing a 34th Under Live in January as well.
