heyyy! no no it's okay i've had my share of late replies here too... i know i came here to disagree but ikumodo is actually a really good answer, i wasn't ready for that! the contemporary answers i typically get are ban, nagaredama, nobody's fault, start over, etc. i like the nagaredama answer because i'm severely biased but always pay respect to the start over! answer for choreography and intensity. i'm pleasantly surprised with your choice of ikumodo as i always feel like it deserves it's flowers! (and because shizuki absolutely nailed her performance with the group hehe) also i think you're better than me... i can't listen to sakurazuki's songs for very long before becoming euphoric 😭 makes me feel like i'm gonna start floating away 😵‍💫 it's always great to see where you fall on these topics!

ah i get the typical choices for best a-sides like start over or ban! and some would really agree that start over was what really help them rise and getting selected for kouhaku which i have to agree! but i still feel that ikumodo is such a big turning point in their group's development where it shows a new perspective towards their growth to strive to reach even larger goals! with ten, the youngest of second gen and youngest when they renamed, it's the perfect choice!

awww thank u you’re so sweet!! 💗

hiii! i'm doing well... i think? i unfortunately still have two more exams but i did great on the first three! how are you doing?? do you have any exams? i'm very unaware of how the singaporean academic year functions... i just assume you guys are all incredibly smart! if i somehow miss the release of Kind of love you have the right to scold me!! i hate to be absent here as talking to you is one of my favorite hobbies ❣️

wait that last part sounded incredibly flirty im so sorry 😭😭

that's great to hear that you did great for the first three!! i'm sure your hardwork will definitely pay off! ahh we are definitely not so smart just rigorous studying 😭! i'll give you my Kind of Love single thoughts when it releases!! also likewise here!! lastfm isn't as fun without you here 🥹

100% am!! also i LOVE your murai yu pfp SHE'S SOOOOOOOOO STUNNING

i love your rika pfp too <333 shes soo adorable!!

honestly i never thought about it that way. i guess they are pretty similar in the way they both have unit structures and artistic concepts. also shockingly i have never asked who your favorite kpop ggs are cause we spend all our time talking about sakamichi 😭who are your favorite ggs apart from loona and le sserafim??

indeed! i feel like the concepts and the creative direction matches loona's style which makes it easier for orbits to get into sakurazaka. also with the member's personalities it's really hard not to feel like home when listening to sakurazaka's songs after the whole situation of loona 🥲. besides loona and le sserafim, my favourites are tripleS, artms, nmixx and fromis_9!!

awwww the fromis_9 mention absolutely melts my heart 🩷🥹

yes!! kougen is perfect for the 4th gen. i feel like kougen really helped them to give them a solid identity. but yes all member songs are so rare i thought we would not be getting one for a long time after addiction but im glad they made boku wa muitenai a all member song ;-; makes it even more meaningful for the 5th anniversary live that is coming up!! im so glad this album was worth the wait for you! now i hope that nogizaka's new single will be great as well! cant wait!

omg that's great to hear!! i recommend their music videos as well! im so glad to hear you like their music!

NOO dont apologise!! you're always free to give me music recs aswell oomfie <3

okay hihi! sorry for being so late thankfully oomf reminded me to do these but here are my opinions on them all :3 桜月 - i loved it a lot! it's a very refreshing sound and reminds me a lot of snow halation from love live, one of my fav genres of songs ! 自業自得 - once again i absolutely love the sound of this.. the fast paced lines in the prechorus is absolutely everything omg and i really love the instrumental. 承認欲求 - i love the sound of this. no clue how i'd describe it but a really good song! START OVER gives off very halloween vibes if that makes sense? then the pre-chorus gives more of a sweet feel. i love the constrasts between them especially when it goes back to the halloweeny feel in the chorus! I WILL BE - tbh i didn't like the intro or chorus all THAT much but the song itself def redeemed it. i think ijust dont like really repetitive sounding intros in general, but other than that i really enjoyed this!

港区パセリ is really good and i love the style of it! the repetitive adlibs in the back really add onto it and the instrumental is SO fun :3 静寂の暴力 - i like how for the chorus the instrumental stops/slows down and you can just hear their voice. it makes the song feel a lot more nostalgic and emotional! it's beautiful. overall i’d love to get into them more, i haven’t watched the mvs yet but i’ll get to that soon and if anything stands out to me i might report back on it (if i remember..)

hi! thank you for taking time to listen to them and OMG snow halation yes!! that's a great way to put it! if you love sakurazuki kind of songs, i would definitely recommend you tokyo snow, 一瞬の馬, their latest bside more of a ballad feel, 僕は向いてない and perhaps i want tomorrow to come too!

hiii i finally got the chance to listen to it and watch the mv today!! absolutely loved it. probably my second favorite mv after Minatoku Parsley. i really liked the simple approach they took with the mv, it fits perfectly with the song. just impatiently waiting for the bsides at this point... what'd u think abt it twin?? 😊

yes!!! we love to see more minatoku parsley appreciation 😍😍 i liked the mv as well! but was a little sad they didn't have more than one outfit in the mv. was surprised they gave karin such a energetic and positive song as compared to start over but i'm loving it so far!! feels like a fan song 🥹

nuh uh (*≧ω≦) 💞 i'll defo have to listen to some of the groups on ur profile

please do!! <3 lmk if you want some recommendations 😇

5ki's song!! loved it too!! a very cute mv <3 also since sakurazaka is revealing their formation tomorrow, what are your predictions! would love to hear your thoughts 🫣

omg im so sorry for the late response twin (╥﹏╥) i honestly botched the prediction pretty bad but got a few things right!! I thought Morita was going to be center because it would be safe especially cause 5th anniversary is coming up soon! but it makes sense that its Karin because she fits the dark theme better. I nailed the fact that Tamura Hono will be in the front at least 😅 I got Ten being in the middle row right as well! my predictions of the back row were completely terrible unfortunately as I thought management really cared about seniority this time 😢I think my biggest win was predicting 3 or 4 4th gen members to be in senbatsu this time. Im glad they're gradually shifting in the rookies! im really excited for this single I just wished it would drop sooner. Let me know what you think!! 💕 im really sorry i couldnt respond before the reveal happened.

no worries!! i too predicted hikaru and shii to be centers but was pleasantly surprised by karin. i really hoped for a 2nd gen center to lead 5th anniversary so i'm really glad it's karin! well deserved honestly. for me, neo was the dark horse that i did not expect to be added in haha. unfortunately, knowing the history of the management i really doubt they would put in more effort in caring for the 2nd gen at this point which makes me so disappointed but well it is what it is. looking forward to know who will center the 4th gen song! fingers crossed it would be wako <3

yeah i figured the band but that's hilarious bc the names are the same 😭😭

HAHAHAH right!!
