IZ*ONE 3rd Japanese single [Vampire] (2019/09/25)

Just when I was thinking these costumes looked pretty good, I'm going to have to say "nope" to Yuri's.

 

Not knowing who the center is gives an extra spice lol

The official site was updated with the covers for Vampire.
This pretty much confirms Sakura center (or at least to me it looks like it).
They all look really pretty as well!

 

It is Sakura center indeed. And in the individual covers Minju looks the most vampire-ish
And Hyewon looks like an actress

 

Not my bet, but still #usernamesakurapputheoracle
Anyway, congrats to Sakura for her first solo center since... Kimi wa Melody Now I'm curious with the line distribution. Hope Minjoo will not back to #11

Usually once the group photo is out, we will know who the center is

 

No way Man

 

They could make a cover of that

 

Hi, I'm new here in S48, nice to meet you all.

The IZ*ONE discography section in Universal Japan website confirms the Sakura center even more.
Her individual version is listed first, meaning that her new position is the #1 (Center).
This also confirms the individual photos release order represent their new positions and let us predict who will be center of the single.

Welcome to s48!
I hope hyewon will get a chance to be center

 

Thank you!
Altough I wish for all the members to center a single (I know it's impossible XD), it seems Hyewon is getting the last positions lately, I hope she can be place in better positions for future singles. The more center rotation the better for me.

 

I feel sometime they'll give Nako and Hii time to shine.
I see it coming someday.
Hyewon is too untalented. I love her, but I'm not blind lol. I don't see her in the front row anytime soon or ever. She's made for modeling.

 

Yeah, I mean, she's the only one who I sometimes notice standing out in a bad way for being a little off on the dance timing or not really completing a move. She's undoubtedly very pretty, but she is the weakest performer in the group in every area.

 

Nah mate, she's made for games and mukbang streaming. She can pick up some odd jobs in modelling and gravure

 

Rap -- and she's around the same level as sakura in singing. She can also play instruments.

 

Nako Hiichan double center inject it into my veins

 

I’m sorry, but she’s terrible at rap even if she’s tried to make that her thing. I do agree she’s around the same singing as Sakura, but that’s still the bottom, and I don’t see them releasing a single with hyewon as center and playing an instrument.

 

Even if she plays the triangle ?

 

I think if you're focused on her shortcomings then that's all you're going to see.
Her deep voice (which most of the other members don't have) has some good uses. Her visual also elevates her performance a bit (for many people). Her solo fancams aren't good but she's able to keep up and if you watch her live and in-person, she surprisingly moves better than what we see in videos. I'm not advocating for a hyewon center but I am pointing out that she's not the worst in every single thing. I think all of them contribute to the group in a net-positive way.

 

jizuz so the concept of this single is supposed to be vampire? bueenos aires cover is more vampiric tbh. the artist couldve photoshopped their eyes red to make it more obvious

 

Well, maybe it isn't about literal vampire at all?
