Sakurazaka46 1st Album

Sakurazaka46 released their first album "As You Know?" on August 3, 2022 under Sony Music Japan. Well there's nothing much to honk about as this like others is just a compilation of their past singles with 5 new songs added to the tracklist. In total the digital copy has a total of 21 songs.

Nevertheless, the album peaked #1 on both Japan's Oricon & Japan Hot charts selling 120,832 copies in the first week and a total of 130,015 in 2 weeks it charted. 

New Songs include: 

"Masatsukeisu"

This is quite a groovy song and has a nice beat and rhythm to it. But the production and recording is awfully flawed as the singing seems someone is singing from a well/singing in through a pipe. Sigh! It has all the classic Keyakizaka46 traits to it, I give that and still is the best new song of the Album. Why would you want it so short.. 3 mins is just not enough. Should have been at least 4 mins. The violin bits could have been 2x. With normal singing and the annoying steel drum like beats removed could have made it a great song.
