I feel sorry for Inori, Chuke, Itopi and Ririka. Even when they sell out moderately fast like this, only one of them will be selected next single, the rest will stay in BACKS. I hope that doesn't lower their motivation and their wotas' motivation.

I wish I could play with her puddings

So here is the review I promised some anon yesterday.
It will be about the songs, their mv (those that have one or two) and choreography, while trying to avoid the controversies that happened.

>Actually... / Senbatsu
Music: It tries to sound mysterious like [Inochi wa Utsukushii] but feels cartoony and some times over produced.
In the first verse, under Aruno voice (which is heavily manipulated by effects that you can barely tell it's a human voice) there are little creepy whispers that really turn me off.
The chorus is the typical bringing the emotion one which happened during many other singles ([Synchronicity] for example).
I'd say it's not the worst, but it isn't growing on me as much as other songs, even "darker" songs that Nogizaka has.
MV: Not really sure what the hype was for, it feels fake and it's about someone we don't even know, at least introduce her and make it more believable.
Both MV really are just dance MV, no story in it, nothing.
The original version aesthetics fit nicely with the uniforms, but other than the the latter one feels more like Nogizaka because actually...
Choreography: There are two versions - Nogizaka46 version and Nakanishi Aruno (feat the girls of Nogizaka46) version.
I don't mind heavy focus on the center, the latter one doesn't feel like an idol group.

>Fukayomi (深読み) / Senbatsu
Is this a rip off? seriously it's eerily similar to Portugal, The Man - Feel It Still.
It's still a fun song, definitely fits Asuka image.

>Kachiaru Mono (価値あるもの) Hatachi Gumi
Music: It does its job, not much to say about it.
MV: Laziest of them all, hey guys we need to make MV for this song but we don't have money since we spent most of it on the title track MV, let's just green screen it and call it a day.
Choreography: Simple one that looks like it was made just for the MV, they will probably only sing this one waving their hands in the future.

>Wasurenai to Ii na (忘れないといいな) / Fire
Music: Typical AkiP grad solo song, It's basically always has been a gift to the member and her fans.
MV: The only MV in this single that features a story in the MV (not a mini drama before it, think [Sayonara no Imi]) ;_;
Choreography: None, as it's a solo.

>Todokanaku tatte... (届かなくたって...) / Under
Music: God the intro synth is annoying, sounds like schizo taking a fart on his mic and sending it to SME, what were they thinking?
Don't get me started on that cringey rap bridge, it feels so out of place, more out of place than any other Under songs with rap in them.
The verses and chorus don't transition as smoth as in [Actually...] for example, most of the song feels like that, a bunch of ideas thrown at random.
Buy hey, at least we get to hear a bunny/runa dominated song in a nogi single.
MV: Lazy, yes it has been said before but, LAZY AND EMPTY. Feels like whoever directed it wanted to get it done and go back home to beat his wife.
It's like the who knows how many times we see an under mv with the center walking on the shoreline.
At least the outfits look nice on the members.
Choreography: Typical idol choreography, nothing new in this depertment. You can clrealy tell the good dancers just from watching it, some are better than senbatsu members.

>Zetsubou no Ichibyou Mae (絶望の一秒前) / 5ki
Music: The composition and arrangement are nicely done. The bad part? the cringey lyrics and layering of almost rap like first verse.
MV: Again, looks lazy compared to other gens first song (especially 3rd gen song and MV).
Choreography: Not much that we can see from the MV, but my favorite part is the tiny jumps in the 2nd chorus.

>Suki ni Natte Mita (好きになってみた) / Senbatsu
It's Youth Case, so if you like any song produced by them you'll like this one time.
This time it has a bit of ABBA sound to it.

Overall for this single, I give a 3/10, but that's just my opinion.
