I want to treasure the spare moments and live leisurely

Because Naachan is so adorable. Because WakaRei. Because Yuttan seems so devious. Because Kanarin has a part. Because Inoue/Marika pairing.

This song is some kind of sweetness. I’m also fascinated this sub-unit of Nogizaka46. The members who are singing had another song, Hoka no Hoshi Kara . It’s not as sweet, but it is just as nice.

*sigh*

Nogis making me kookoo.

Quote of the Day [3.06.16]

おでこの上キスをしてよ 
今じゃなくていつの日か
おでこの上キスをしてよ 
二人の愛は罰ゲームから

[Plant a kiss on my forehead
Not now, but someday
Plant a kiss on my forehead
Because our love is a punishment game]

でこぴん 乃木坂46

Because Japan Apps

In order to catch Nogizaka46’s 46 hour marathon of their 4th Anniversary, I downloaded the ShowRoom app from the app store. It is very Japanese. There’s avatars of everyone watching. Then they’re throwing stars. I have no idea why. They just are. I threw all my stars and I’m all out. I wish I had more because throwing stars was fun. Then everyone is commenting in Japanese. I also commented in Japanese, but also in their weird shorthand: ‘8888’ ==> clapping, “wwwwww” ==> laughing. I hope that is correct. Anyhow, I’m still using the app to watch it because the other streaming services are either blocked in the US (YouTube), laggy on my connection (Amebafresh.tv), for premium customers (nico nico douga). I will eventually run up against ATT’s unlimited slow down, but damn it. I want my NogiTV!

Link of the Day [2.17.16]

Forty-six is not enough. Forty-six is too much. Forty-six is going to be a marathon. Forty-six. Nogizaka46.

They are going to do a 46 hour web cast marathon for their fourth birthday special. You can watch it for free this weekend by following one of the streaming sites on today’s link. I suggest you bookmark it, and then watch it with me starting Friday evening.

I am so psyched.

Duel

Embedding for posterity. Or at least until YouTube takes it down.

This is the A and B sides to Nogizaka46’s last single from last year: Ima, Hanashitai Dereka Ga Iru (今、話したい誰かがいる). The first song is the title song. The senbatsu members are all very, very pretty in this. It is also a very pretty, pretty song. The second song is the Under Girl’s song: Shitto no Kenri (嫉妬の権利). It has the most passionate performance by the members ever. In fact both sides do their song with feeling which is usually hard to find in idol music.

After listening over and over, I think this is a very fine single and can’t wait for the next Nogi release.

バレッタ #乃木坂46

Everything about this song fucking rulez!

The intro, the verses, the choruses… ROCKING!

The senbatsu, the hachi-fukujin + 1, the center, the 2nd generation… GREAT CHOICES!

The dance choreograph, the lyrics, the girls, seifuku… NICE!

The covers of the albums… COOL!

I love this song. I can play it on the guitar. I sing it most every day. Play this at my funeral!
