Single AKB48 58th (Ne mo Ha mo Rumor) [2021/09/29)

She still counts as senbatsu, right? If I'm not mistaken, ever since Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai, PV appearance was no longer a prerequisite for a senbatsu member.

***

I like the song and the choreo. Sad that I'm not really much of an AKB fan anymore after Shitusuren's senbatsu lineup announcement. I'm happy for AKB purist fans for finally getting an AKB-only single.

 

Because of her face?

AKB will rise again!

 

That dance routine left me breathless lol. Liked the song and I think it'll grow on me. Congrats to Naachan on the second center, Hiichan also stood out for me.

i love everything about this!! naachan is perfect as center, i'm so happy for her and the song's energy fits her perfectly. and the dance feels like the hardest they've ever done, their synchronization is great and i'm so proud of the members. and as for the song itself, i love how fun and upbeat it is. it reminds me of high tension but somehow even more upbeat lol. and lastly the outfits are alright, i do like them but they are a bit basic? but that's really the only criticism i have, otherwise i'm in love with this song and performance and i can't wait for more news about the single

(also i just have to mention it, yuiyui + zukky shadow wcenter made my day)

 

According to Onishi, Kobayashi Ran, Yasuda Kana, Sakaguchi Nagisa, Hama Sayuna and Takaoka Kaoru also took part of their lessons as unders.

 

yeah that's about Nagi's level

 

Yeah, you're right. But at least I'm the only thing inside her head when she's having lessons.

Spoiler

Or him.

 

That was amazing! I was really into it. This is definitely one of their hardest dances too - like I know No Way Man was full of energy, but they really gave it their all for this performance. That dance break tho. Reminds me of something Morning Musume would have done in the early-mid 2010's; synchronized robotic dancing. Overall, I'm impressed. Nana as center is always a good choice. I didn't like Jabaja tbh, didn't feel like it suited AKB or Nana, but this is much better.

I look forward to the B-sides a lot now. Also, Hii-chan should stay blonde. It suits her a lot and she stands out immediately.

 

The choreo in this is how No Way Man SHOULD have been. 8.5/10 easy

they needed a song that wasn't boring or stereotype idol song and they got it.

P.S: i think they need to practice this song's choreo similar to k-pop so this can look even better.

 

GREAT SONG I LOVE IT

produce48 is over

 

I suppose no units formed from the Audishow (there were 7 shows)
That may leave enough space for Team songs, although one would be more visible than the others.

 

yes produce 48 is over but this is about the song so what was your point?

 

YT - get it quick!

Edit - last one was removed so here's another. How long will this last...


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

I’ve only heard it twice at this point and at first I was prepared to say I didn’t like it. I was expecting either something cute or something cool (in UZA or Beginner vein) and the dance seemed way too moving to take seriously.

I’m glad I watched it again cause I actually do like it. The only part I don’t like is the weird leg dance at the start of the chorus LOL. But other than that I really like the song and the dance.

 

I like the title track a lot. An easy 9 out of 10 for me. Here's hoping the other songs for the single are just as awesome. Also I kinda like that Hitomi wasn't center because she stands out so much regardless of Nana being the center.

 

Lumour lumour lumour....
Anyway, song is ok. Glad it is not 'come dance with me' type of song.
The choreo and the syncho in the dance should generate buzz. That is probably very difficult to be performed without proper practice.

 

I like the song, I think it'll grow on me. And I really enjoyed the choreo! I can totally see the "rumor rumor rumor" part of the dance being meme material so maybe that will help them go viral a little bit But overall I'm glad this is the single they came back with. Love the energy!

 

Now, THIS is the AKB I fell in love with! It has this musical theatre quality that reminds me of the golden age songs. Instrumental is a little weak, they gotta go hard with the instruments and mixing if they're gonna do a funk/disco-esque song, otherwise it sounds a bit too chaotic and noisy. And though the vocals lose some oomph during the chorus they're really strong during the verse. +10 for Nana solo in the opening. The dance is cool, they need to work hard on not being so stiff - end up looking a little too chaotic sometimes. They should practice isolations to really get good control of their tiny tiny tiny muscles so they can do things like this more fluidly, and put their whole body into the moves.

Overall (with what we have so far), this is a really good song. It's like on the cusp between a really good B-side, and a "good" A-side. Not kami-level though.

Hope the MV "goes there". I wanna see dynamic videography, well-timed (and framed) shots of the dance, and some sort of story. Hopefully, they get a director who knows how to coach the girls so they don't end up looking like they're trying too hard to be cool. Really don't wanna see another repeat of Teacher Teacher
