Available in America

O, forgot to tell you on the last Nogizaka post. You are able to watch in the US without the need of a VPN to Japan because, Sony Music, in their infinite wisdom, has unblocked Nogizaka videos from the US. They should’ve done this sooner, but it’s all good. When they come to America in 2019, at least you’ll now know who they are. Just don’t snake my tix!

(08.10.18)EDIT: Put the short version on as now you can buy the dang CD.

21st and Summer

Nogizaka46’s 21st single. The second of the year. Their summer song.

I haven’t warmed up to it.

Need more listens.

White Stone, Paradise Ska, and Lemon Water

Not sure what Shiraishi Mai is selling, but more of that off the shoulder action and I will go to my local conbini for some. Also, shouldn’t it really be Misa-senpai selling alcohol because she’s the sexy drinking senpai of Nogizaka?

シンクロニシティ

Oh, hey. It’s been six months, but we’ve got a new Nogizaka46 single, Synchronicity. It’s their 20th. Seven years they’ve been at it and they consistently have high quality songs. Their spring singles are some of the best idol music around. Believe that. Anyway go out buy the single, download the songs, listen to it on your favorite streaming site. Just fall in love again.

Overture

Overture.

It plays before every live. Makes me ready and happy.

Today it should’ve been the 6th Year Birthday Live. It will happen in July. But today is their anniversary. Congratulations, Nogizaka-chan! Here’s to many more!

いつかできるから今日できる

I’m sure I have posted this one before. Their 19th Single.

We’ve finished all the MVs from their singles, the main songs. I hope you enjoyed them. I always do.

I’m looking forward to their 20th. What will it be? When will it come out? I am ready to spend money to find out.

逃げ水

My favorite song from 2017. I didn’t like it too much at first, but I watched the Nogizaka46SHOW rendition over and over and over again until I did. Really, this song brings tears to my eye every time I hear it.

The 3rd Gen’s that center, Yoda Yuki and Ozono Momoko, are the vanguard to the future. The 3rd Gens only were picked at the end of 2016. They debuted in December of that year. They’ve been fortunate for they have had songs on each of the 2017 singles as well as the album. The 3rd Gens have twice as many centers as 2nd Gens. They will have more in the future.

That falling piano line. The instrumentation makes me smile. Piano is Nogi’s signature sound. I believe its for Ikuta, but their songs are piano-centric. This one makes like falling water. Or rain on a pond. Beautiful.

If you can, search out for the Nogizaka46SHOW version. So good, because it is the members and a decent choreography. The ending moves with the undulation is so fine. Beautiful is a word used with Nogizaka so much and this one deserves it.
