#1 Song Review: Week of 10/28 – 11/3 (Nogizaka46 v. Nishiuchi Mariya v. THE Sharehappi from Sandaime J Soul Brothers)

Hello Arama! Japan readers and welcome to this week’s installment of #1 Song Review! Last week saw Hey! Say! JUMP take the top spot over THE Sharehappi from Sandaime J Soul Brothers. THE Sharehappi from Sandaime J Soul Brothers is back again this week, along with 2 newcomers. Find out what various staff members thought of the songs that topped the physical and digital charts this week and share your thoughts on them too!

Oricon #1: Nogizaka46 – Ima, Hanashitai Dareka ga Iru (Recochoku #11 / iTunes #8)

Ronald: This is on the more tolerable end of the spectrum as far as female idol songs go. It isn’t over cutesy, which is a good thing. But it just feels so dull, like it doesn’t go anywhere. It just sounds like the same thing repeating over and over again. 3.5/10

Recochoku #1: Nishiuchi Mariya – Save me (Oricon #16 / iTunes #7)

Ronald: This is pleasant enough. It can be a bit repetitive and dull at times, but it’s not as bad as the Nogizaka song. One thing that I do find annoying is Mariya’s voice at times. In certain parts of the song, it sounds like she’s trying to sing through a throat clogged with phlegm. 5/10

Ronald: Same review as last week – I really don’t like this. It’s so corny, so dated. This would’ve made sense years ago, but now? No. I wouldn’t had liked it then, and I definitely don’t like it now. And why are they trying to act like this is a subunit when it’s really Hiroomi’s solo song? If only 1 person is singing, it’s a solo song, not a subunit. And what’s with his voice on this? It sounds so stressed. 1/10
