Sakurazaka46 - Nobody's Fault

This is a Quick Review of the music in the re-branded Keyakizaka46 group.. 

Sakurazaka46 debut single - Nobody's Fault.

Honestly, I was pretty damn disappointed when I heard the announcement of disbandment of one of my favorite Idol groups of all time - Keyakizaka46. Leaving aside couple of key members (Oda & Suzumoto) graduating from the group in January 2020, followed by Techi's sudden exit certainly left fans questioning the group's overall intention to continue as a unit under the Sakamichi banner. Not to mention the mismanagement of Seed and Flower. 

Some hope was delivered in the form of the group being revived as Sakurazaka46 after months of speculation. Well, that was certainly encouraging.. But, how would the new group be like? Will they have the same image as Keyakizaka46? Who will be a new face/ace of Sakurazaka46, now that Techi (Hirate) is no longer part of the group?
