I have been obsessed with this song.

[PikoAshy]

I love Nogizaka46. I feel like they are paying homage to the idols of the 80's in a way. Like the revival of onyanko club or some such. I have never really liiked AKB and I believe its because their songs don't interest me. SKE I love but, they changed when they moved to Avex. Banzai venus and 1 2 3 4 yoroshiku were gold. I will always love SDN48 because it was....completely obvious they were using sex to sell none of this "oh were innocent but...lol"

[esm]

^ Hmm, I'll have to check out Nogizaka46

They have senbatsu, but not elections,

Idk. To me, all the *48 groups are pretty different, so .

Are their music different though? I thought the idea is that it's the same thing based in different places

[Sohee]

I'd say that their music is slightly different in terms of main singles. But if you look at b-sides and stuff, NMB does the same stuff AKB/SKE/HKT have done. It's more like, they shuffle around the main single so SKE gets one type, NMB another and AKB the one most mainstream.
I can't say I've heard much of Nogizaka, though I did check out their first two PVs or something and honestly, to me, it could as well have been a AKB-related song. Which is why I don't think they're much different at all. Same generic idol-type things everywhere. If anything I guess Nogizaka just gets uglier costumes.

[PikoAshy]

I dunno to me they just stand out in a different way. Like Seifuku no Mannequin is totally 80's idol. Their school uniforms are less flashy and they don't use excessive amounts of PLAID.

I think they one me over for the little things. Little things that drive me freakin nuts about the other 48 groups....No Bikinis, No Seifuku with a gazillion doo dads on them, All the members are pretty imo, just little things

[Starra]

Yeah, their music seems more Onyanko Club to me.

Idk I like all the *48 groups and Nogizaka, so...

[Pavlova]

As a group, overall, despite my biggest attachment to AKB48 itself (since it's been longer, etc), I think I like NMB the best. They are sort of distinctive, the girls are on average better performers, they are very intense/sexy/more mature in a certain way than AKB is and I like that a lot. IDK if it's because they are from Osaka, like if it's a culture difference but.. yeah

I want to like nogizaka a lot but somehow I can't get into their songs at all.

[Starra]

Is... is it bad that my favourites are JKT and SNH?

Other than them, I think I like HKT the most.

[Pavlova]

Why would it be bad?

I have a soft spot for HKT because they have my kami-oshi (love-tan). I think the group that leaves me the coldest is definitely SKE. I like a few members, sure, a few songs, but that's about it.

JKT is pretty cool. I don't know how you can like SNH, we haven't even HEARD them yet, have we? we only have pics lol? still.

[Starra]

Because they're the foreign groups .

And we have a couple of SNH PVs: Heavy Rotation & RIVER.

My oshi (not counting Sae) is Zhang YuGe. She's... she's so cute .
