Hi guys I finally finish AI subbed SakaAo ep09 (aprox. 90% AI subbed, I only leave the ending credits and some shoots of the background screen), although it was hard to do i really enjoy doing it, so I hope you enjoy to. Also since GoFile was deleting my videos way to fast i decided to change to mediafire so Im leaving all the others videos that Ai subbed to.

Watched the live today and the girls did really well.

Spoiler: Rambles on the one man's live

As for the Aozora ni tsuite kangaeru units I will rank them like this.
[
1. Seifuku no Parachute, the choreo is adorable and suits the song nicely. The vocals were amazing and to me is one of the most memorable ones of BokuAo.

2. Suki ni narinasai, Aya as the center and she suits the part nicely yet again a song with a cute choreo. If seifuku is the most memorable song wise than this is it with the choreo.
I can see why this is the fan favorite, but seifuku takes the crown for me.

3. Omoide shirike tonbo, Akita center and a well deserved one. The song is very simple, relaxing and there's not much more to say about it. The live vocals are a lot better than the studio version. I felt with the studio version the vocals felt mismatched.

They also revealed the kumo-gumi song here so I will talk a bit about it as well:
Kimi no tame no uta:
After this perfomance I hope Akita returns to senbatsu. She is really great and improved a lot. Especially vocal wise.

As for the song:
Song is nice, I have to admit it's not really memorable yet for me. I do like it, most likely when it's on spotify its on repeat.

As for the choreo:
The choreo is excellent, according to the girls its to them the most difficult choreo. They surely didn't show it that it was hard, because they all looked at ease with the choreo.
-
Tobanakatta Kamikihouki:
Wow this song is good, it's so bokuao.
Especially love the part in choreo where they form their own airplane, the lyrics are nice I am happy this is an all member song. The song in general reminds me of Keyaki's taiyou wa miageru.
-
Seifuku no mannequin:
their perfomance is excellent and they did justice to their senpai's song. Toa's eyes here, they are on and on fire!
I hope they put their version on spotify, because it's so good.
-
Final conclusions:
An excellent lives, the improvement of these girls is crazy their vocals are all very very stable. Dancing has improved too and all that in a relatively short period

Today I watched parts of their one-man live and I'm more than impressed...

This group has covered quite some mileage in such a very short time. Also, is so nice to see they are building a repertoire... I'm looking forward for the time they can support a full concert by themselves.

I wouldn't agree more with @blabla123: Tobanakatta Kamikihouki is simply amazing! Why? but of course it struck so many chords of my old Keyaki heart... It IS a Keyaki song! It took me back 6 years ago when I was first discovering my top group and each new song was a new world of pleasure, indulgence and sentiments. Kamihikouki is even more Keyaki than Keyaki as it conveyed to me that lost feeling tenfold! The melodic changes is a sentimental roller-coaster... Yet, it is also Bokuao full of hopes in such a way as to make a projection to the future when Bokuao will be a great group and their songs would have such a maturely melancholic aura... It has become my very top favourite Bokuao song so far, easily!

Miss Toa is simply exquisite in this song, she is exhibiting such professionalism that is scary already... Also I consider a personal highlight the part where my sweet Mana-chan is at the center (as the plane's nose, around the middle of the song). With her new haircut, she is breathtakingly pretty!

On the other hand Seifuku no Parachute is pure Hinata! Apologies for mentioning Sakamichi group songs, this does not imply that Bokuao is walking on the footsteps of predecessors, it is just that one has to have some benchmarks. This song's highlight is IMO the sweet childish voice of Aoi-chan.

P.S. And a suggestion: I believe BokuAo deserves its own section of threads in these forums (with "general discussion", "members" part and "News & Releases"). As a Nogizaka rival, their production of a new line of interesting songs (after a rather awkward start) and a remarkably interesting and sufficiently crazy variety programme, I haver the feeling that BokuAo is at this moment, like a plane speeding on a runway just taking off, so I'm sure it would further help the group's recognition in these forums... And also make me super happy!

 

Hi guys here is the SakaAo Ep10 AI subbed

The MV for 'Sotsugyou made' will premiere tomorrow (1/17) at 20:00 JST:

I'm hopeful for a big sales increase for the 2nd single considering the 1st only sold 24k in the first week, but I'm also nervous for them.

Multiple MVs unlike the 1st single, CMs, variety show debut since the 1st... even though it's only the 2nd single it already feels a bit like this is a make or break to demonstrate at least a bit of growth/momentum

I also am quite hopefull, they have been holding two live shows as well, and the free christmas event. Also they just another one man live. Even if the single doesn't sell more, all the members have gained more experience being om stage. (and if u ask me, they all improved a lot as well.)
