misa achieved her faster sold-out!

 

^Congrats to Misa Senpai! Her fastest sell out to date.

 

Takoyama: Cute pictures.

 

Ah yes I mean uniform.. umm.. At least they wore colored one in the MV (blue). Loose, no sleeves dress(?). And they performed the song with colored tanktop(?) and white dress outside..

I hope they at least add something in the uniform if they really are going to wear those..

 

Misa senpai

 

http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/ongakusai_2015/ (June 24th and features AKB48G and Nogizaka46).

Would be surprised if we don't get a performance of the 12th Single here.

 

Those buttons on the front of the seifuku remind me of Mickey Mouse haha...

 

the collar reminds me the ear

 

Thanks, now i CANNOT UNSEE >_> *sorry for the meme but it was necessary*

 

For all the girls selling out their slots, I'm surprised only two of them has centered a single~~ they should spread the centers around really. I love me some Ikoma-centered songs (since she's my bias and home-skillet biscuit), but would it have killed management to let Manatsu center the summer-single? lol~~ Like, it's so perfect that it feels like they don't want to give it to us lol~

And I'm honestly surprised we have no info on this single yet, but June 24th isn't that far away~

 

I'm glad it's not a Manatsu center for summer despite her name, I think she would rock something more like Kizuitara Kataomoi.

 

Someone made a point of the General thread that Nogizaka fans seem to be turned off at the first sign of a push lol and I think that's kind of true. Naachan and Maiyan only became centers AFTER they got really popular so it didn't really effect them. Ikuchan has always been a popular fandom choice for center but she's always been slower than other top girls to sell out in HS for some reason.

I've said before that I'd really like to see Manatsu and Nanamin as centers but mgmt is pretty stubborn. Even Maiyan centering Garuru felt like a reluctant decision and a "force of hand" because sales had stagnated and were even declining at the time. This is further emphasized by the fact she has yet to return to the position despite being virtually unchallenged in popularity among the casual fans. I'd love to see Misa-senpai centering a mature and/or sexy single with Maimai but she's not a mgmt favorite.

 

Nogizaka46’s 12th single is named “Taiyou Knock” (太陽ノック)

 

^Interesting title, sounds pretty summery. But also sounds a little cutesy.

 

hmm.. definitely interesting title. From the sound of it, I'm guessing its a bright/upbeat song this time, which is fine by me. I just hope it really doesn't go into cutesy territory. I'm really not a fan of cutesy. I wouldn't mind something along the lines of Girl's Rule though, which actually happens to be my favorite Nogi single.

 

The title sounds fun and really give that summer vibe for sure.
Sun Knock, "let's say hi to summer!"

 

Eh, the costumes are pretty cool I guess. I don't see Mickey Mouse, though.

 

Not sure if you guys have seen this yet? Too lazy to read through
There are a few other rumors (leaked from radio) I should probably wait until it gets confirmed.
