When I heard the song, at first in the beginning, it sounded really strange, but as the song progressed it got more and more catchy. I think this is a song that can definitely grow on people.

[TheFicusWithSuperPowers]

^ true. truth be told it's always the thing that the songs grows more and more each time even if it's from the first play where the first 5 seconds weren't cool but from next 5 all the song became so awesome.

Sounds like a Indian song or Hindi song to me ...

anyway .. i don't like it ..

So .. do we have the official on the senbatsu ?

[tomi]

Kamonegics (16) Senbatsu
Team N (9): Ichikawa, Ogasawara, Kadowaki, Kotani, Jonishi, Shiroma, Yamamoto, Yoshida, Watanabe
Team M (5): Takano, Tanigawa, Yagura, Yamada, Yogi
Team B (2): Kato, Yabushita

Can't get a clear picture on my phone (thanks, provider), but was Murokana filling in for Keila?

(Or maybe Shuu?)

Edit: Getting a better view, Murokana and Nagisa as stand-ins for Keila and Shuu. Kind of surprised Shimarena not only missed the senbatsu but isn't one of the top two rotations either.

Positions... is difficult at the moment

 

Keira, Mirurun, Shu out

Nagisa, Murokana, Saepi in

 

For todays Kayou Kyoku performance.

Yesterdays LOD preformance... It is an interesting state to be in... When you click on play with some expectations of what it will sound like and nothing turns out as you had in mind. What about the girls that were walking by the green fields, are they even relevant. Instead of something traditional and old you get dance and futuristic Maybe they are connected in the end, who knows. The huge initial dissapointment, to throw away the things that you thought you knew and start all over again. Experience the joy and hate of being totally surprised and the growing love for what was presented to you. The same feelings I got after watching the first performance of Virginity, it also took me brutally off guard.

This is NMB after all, why be predictable and safe.

 

Outfits:

I have no issues with these outfits for some reason. They are shiny I would have loved if they wore something that didn't match the music, that contrast is always nice. 

 

It feels like AkiP is being a huge troll at the moment. Giving us titles like Melon Juice and now Kamonegics... What awaits AKB then

It has more of an oriental vibe to it at the end but the dance style music reminds me of European pop. It's gor a classic dance ring to it, I haven't really listened to NMB before but it's songs like these that make me lurk around the AKB family.

[satchan]

Oi, I'd completely missed Saepy.   I'm moderately concerned that I A. didn't notice there was no lovely Mirurun and B. didn't notice there was lovely Saepy.

 

I'll wait until I hear a studio version and spend some time with it over time before deciding on how I ultimately feel, since this appears to be an in person song or a studio song, but I like it, don't love it right now. It's nice that NMB continues to stay fresh at any rate, but I might like that more than the song itself at the moment.

[Morning Death]

I didn't find it that special either, felt it kind of plain. I'll wait for the full version, and if it doesn't work, allow the brainwash technique to take care of things.

 

lol at the Nakai guy "恋愛禁止なのに。。。"

[Krusha]

Regarding the sneak pics of what looks to be "medieval Japan" themed stuff, I think it could very well be a drama for the single or similar, as that's what some of the rumors said.

[Ares13]

Hmm.. I wonder do we get a set 2 , set 3 outfit...

[Krusha]

I hope we get some other outfits in performances, because honestly, the ones they showed in Kayou Kyoku were a little silly in my opinion. Usually 48 groups tend to have pretty good outfits, and this song is really awesome, but somehow the outfits are a bit "eh" to me

[akbingo]

I think the concept of this tune is `futuristic style of Japanese traditional music (such as Enka, Minyo)'.

Robots, androids, and astronauts are supposed to be the motif of the outfits.

I like the choreography of robots booting up, vibrating their hands (the move of Kotani Riho seen in Kayo-kyoku performance), and begin spacewalking.

[Ares13]

Pure silly speculation from me as we wait for the official..

I still sound like a hindi or Indian song to me..
Sound like they are going to market some sort of curry rice to me.. lol

[akbingo]

Crucial part of this song is written by pentatonic scale.

Ethnic music generally prefers pentatonic scale and the other ethno-specific (gregorian) modes, rather than usual major/minor scale.  So as the Japanese trads and maybe the Bollywoods.

Japanese Kimigayo is musically a very rare national anthem which is witten by Dorian mode.

[Ares13]

^ ..lol

I got no understanding of what you are talking about ..

but its just sounds Bollywood to me because I come of a multi-racial country and I have my share of exposure to it ..lol

 

its just like Nante Bohemian the undergirl song of Gingham Check single .. its sounds partly Bollywood too ..

[gryzze]

Possibly one of the covers.

Or is it a promotional picture? 

Interesting to see how they use size to draw attention away from SayaMilky, Nana, Fuuchan, Shu etc. 

[dev-null]

Perhaps the cover of the theater edition... or rather probably.

[gryzze]

Shuu may be small in the picture but to me she looks like the center
