Single Nogizaka46 22nd [Kaerimichi wa Toomawari Shitaku Naru] (2018/11/14)

ito junna is on fire. hope she gets more stage plays and eventually a drama or movie gigs.

 

Spoiler: OOT

why ? im not the first timer and its not against this rules

im talking with basis personal
opinion and fact. you can ignore me , give me negatives rank or denying my opinion if disagree.

 

Okay then, I know it's a fact that the group you were talking about isn't in Nogi's popularity level nowadays but in your own quoted words, it says criticism. And saying that "d*ck measurement contest", and "already trash tier" is just straight insulting.

Well, let's end this anyway. You are clearly not violating any rules. It's just idolize something you love while bring down another thing you don't love is what tick me off

 

Ppl shouldnt sugarcoat themselves there . That's more as sly dig rather than an attempt of constructive criticism.

Reno and YAC are the trailers in the 3rd Gen. Reno has the play so she's getting a bit more exposure. What does Ayatii need to do to gain some traction?

This I don't understand.

 

^ i think Karin just like Maaya, great character but seems can't response well with fans

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

I don't think so, at least based on my experience, had IHS with Karin and really enjoyed it, she was warm, had good interaction

 

Then she just not a fans favorite

 

so far watched 4 kojin PVs [Nanase,Reikaptain,Iku,Maiyan]

Spoiler

liked Nanase and Maiyan PVs thought it was funny ,
though in reality power harassment ain't right, that is what this PV's message is
Reikaptain's PV is cute , disappointed with Iku's [probably because I couldn't understand half of it ]

 

Went down to Tsutaya today and picked up my copies.

I would expect this from Karin because she's really good at doing MC duties so she's very expressive. She's also a very interesting member considering her many different interests. Plus, her smile is very warm.

I think the fans are missing out.

Glad to see Ami-chan-senpai not left out of the graduation celebrations even though she's not on the single. She'll be missed as with all the graduates.

Good job, everyone!

 

Congrats Nogichan's, it's sell a little bit more than Synchronicity on the same day

 

I finally had the chance to properly listen to this single, and as always, I have an opinion about it. It turned out a very diverse single in terms of musical influences. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Let’s find out!

Kaerimichi wa Toomawari Shitaku Naru

Despite this being the A-side of Naachan’s graduation single, it has not become a sad song. The main melody has an uplifting atmosphere with many subtle synth and guitar melodies scattered throughout the song. The beat is somewhat simple, but it’s there to indicate the pacing. My favorite part is the chorus, and I love the way they repeat the first line of it. I think the song fits Naachan very well, better than a Sayonara no Imi part 2 would have.

It is a rather safe song though, in line with previous A-sides such as Synchronicity and Itsuka Dekiru. I understand why, but it lacks a bit of dare. I loved Jikochuu de Ikou for being an exception, and although many wrote that song off as a generic idol song, it was so much more. That being said, this song will surely appeal to the masses as it's rich yet catchy.

Caravan wa Nemurenai

A nice song with many moods. Starting of quite soothing, but quickly picks up on intensity towards the chorus. The twangy guitar melodies during the verses create a nice atmosphere. It also has a very good guitar solo in the second part of the song, and I like how guitar-layered the song in general is.

Tsuzuku

As expected, a ballad to move the listener to tears. Although well done, I am not a big fan of this kind of song. There isn’t much happening in terms of instrumental trickery, the focus lies on Naachan, her voice, and the story she is telling. And she does that very well. A song that should please many fans, but in the meantime, I’ll press the skip button.

Nichijou

GOD! LY! What an unbelievable strong song this is. Starting off with a driving beat, chuggy palm-muted guitar chords and Enya-like synths, you know stuff is going to happen! The chorus is a demonstration of how vocal lines takes a song to the next level. Be sure to pay attention to the details like the shouts (Hey! Hey!), the back and forth singing, and the occasional high notes. The chorus ends with rocking guitars and synthscapes which immediately remind me of Scandinavian metal. But the mixing of other genres doesn’t stop there! Let’s throw in a filthy brostep drop for the bridge! It is something I have been waiting for since being a nogi fan, and it flows so well with this song. Music doesn’t get much better than this.

Kokuhaku no Junban

A nice casino tune if you are in the mood for it. It’s hard not to swing to the playful rhythm, funky riffs and uplifting brass. The voices surely add to the mood of the song. The chorus vocal melody is great, as it takes the listener to more adventurous grounds and it contrasts well with the relaxing verses. Overall a well crafted song, but it has to fit the occasion.

Chopin no Usotsuki

I love this song so much! Subtle yet dramatic piano melodies blend well with the latin vibes, creating a unique atmosphere. A warm bass line bobs gently along with the everything but predictable pattern of the song. Vocally, I believe this is the strongest song on the single. A superb triangle of vocal sorcery consisting of Ikuta’s strength and clarity, Maiyan’s softness and emotion and Ringo’s otherworldly expressiveness. I always believed that, personal taste aside, Ringo could do more than comic relief, and I am so glad there is now a song to prove it. Maiyan takes the price though, her voice suits this song the best of the three.

Shiritai Koto

An interesting song. Vocally it’s soft and a bit fragile, but it complements well with the dramatic, almost urgent piano melodies and distorted guitar chords in the (pre)chorus. The verses take a more laid back approach, giving all 4 members space to showcase their voices. The dreamy bridge is nice as well. In the end, things start to get a bit repetitive though. I think the song would be better if it was 30 seconds shorter.

Conclusion

Nogizaka46 manages again to maintain their streak of strong singles. Furthermore, it does many things right as Naachan’s last single. I hope she is happy with how it turned out. I know I am, especially because the single has two songs that’ll be on the playlist forever. Nichijou is one of Nogi’s best song until now, and Chopin no Usotsuki breaks new ground in a fabulous way. For that, I am grateful.

 

Is Music Fair the show that always has a live band? Currently, this performance is my favorite so far. Most of the time I like their performances on this show...

 

Probably it's not gonna outsell Synchronicity. But still impressive.
