Hinatazaka - Azato Kawaii (Review)

Hinatazaka46 released their much anticipated Album - Hinatazaka featuring Azato Kawaii on September 23rd!
As expected it sold over 100k copies in its opening day sale and recorded a healthy figure of 121,044 copies in the first day and grabbed the #1 position on the Oricon Daily Charts in Japan. They keep the streak rolling and on the second day the group are still at the top with sales of 46,431 copies. And finally topped the Oricon Weekly Charts with estimated sales of 209,000 copies! 

What is to expect:

The album is part compilation of their popular Hinatazaka46 songs from previous singles, remake of old Hiragana Keyakizaka46 songs (from Keyakizaka46 singles) and a few new songs including the title track - Azato Kawaii. So, this again is a "MUST HAVE" album since Hashiridasu Shunkan (走り出す瞬間) that was released a good 2 years ago (20 June 2018). 

One's to watch out for: 

Here are the 2020 Remakes:

  • Dare yori mo takaku tobe! (2020)
  • NO WAR in the future (2020) 
  • Yakusoku no Tamago (2020) 

Trivia: BiS (Brand-new Idol Society) used to do these remakes a lot with their album releases.

New Stuff on offer:

  • Azato Kawaii (Title Track) - Not very overly exciting. Much hyped.

  • Overture (Previously Unreleased) - This you might have head before as intro to Hinatazaka46 at their Live Shows and Concerts.
  • Kono natsu o Jam ni shiyou - Pass!
  • Hinatazaka (Previously Unreleased) - Pass!
  • Doushite ame dato Ittandarou? - Pass!

Now for the Best New Songs of the Album:

See Through - Best Song in the Album by far!

Absolutely Fantastic!

Tada gamushara ni - Nice Song!
My Fans - Wonder I heard this one somewhere before. Anyway worth a mention.
