Nogizaka46 Release 3 Coupling MVs From Their 21st Single

Nogizaka46 have released the MVs for their tracks titled Sora Tobira, Sankaku no Akichi, and Chikyuu ga Maruinara.

Out August 8th, the tracks are part of their 21st single titled Jikochu de Ikou!

Sora Tobira
Nogizaka46

Nogizaka46 make their way to outer space in the MV for Sora Tobira, with the members spending most of the MV taking part of a class for a space company called JAXA. We’ll get to learn more about what real astronauts do, like running in parks, dancing in blue dresses, and of course, doing puzzles. Yes, it’s hard being an astronaut.

Thankfully, Nogizaka46 have it down, with the members doing their best through each shot as the story goes on through the MV. It’s a fun theme and one that complements the shots of them dancing in a room with curtains perfectly. Add in a light and upbeat song and you have yourself a fairly solid song to enjoy.

Nogizaka46 / Type A Exclusive

We’re back to the story format for this one, showing off a touching story of a girl who spends most of the MV meeting the members as they practice their dancing. She doesn’t do much apart from that for most of the MV, but she does get to perform along with the group in a rather cryptic end to the MV.

That being said, the scenes of Nogizaka46 dancing in a brightly lit setting with colored puffy dresses are perfect, matching the passion of the song with their dance moves. The song has an emotional hook, making for a rather impressive backdrop to this MV. Overall a pretty well done video and song that are highly recommended.

Chikyuu ga Marui Nara
Nogizaka46 / Type D Exclusive

This one is pretty heavy on the story, with the song not starting until 2:20. But, the scenes of the members going by bus to a city where they spend the day having fun is rather calming. The ballad makes for a treat as we get to see them go on a train, eat giant tortilla things on the beach, and generally have a fun chill day.

Overall all the MVs have a pretty impressive and unique theme, with Sankaku no Akichi taking the crown as my favorite from the bunch. Which one was your favorite? Let us know below and grab a copy of the single if you haven’t already!
