i've already lost my mind about both of these mvs on twitter, but i'm so excited about them still that i just had to make a post about it
sakurazaka46 - addiction (2025)
but on top of that the lyrics are insane and included in the mv upload, the mv is beautiful, the choreo is cool. i wasn't crazy about the song on first listen before mv release, and tbf i'm always biased in the sense that i like sakurazaka the most when they remind me of keyaki, but this is such a nice version of their current sound that i really dig, and now i'm so into this track. idk if the mv influenced that or not but i'm so happy about this though. also, karin's silver hair is such an amazing look on her.
the cinematography is so stunning, and it all happening in ten's head during the alleged 8.2 seconds it takes to fall in love at first sight it just incredible... and this is juxtaposition with the song being about a love that is an addiction and obsession so fast is just such a fun mildly toxic yuri thing too. i'm so delighted by everything they chose to do with this.
ske48 - kataomoi finally (2012)
i vaguely know that i've in recent years read wmatsui was... complex and not great for the people involved for various reasons, and i know rena was a fair bit older and jurina was really young at the time, but i'm taking this mv to be just that - a music video, in this post, and not focusing too much on those other aspects because frankly i don't know enough.
the cinematography, the storyline, the acting. the song itself, one of my favourites to this day from any 48g and idc how basic that is. desperately wish it was on spotify. idk i'm just so happy this mv is on youtube now. a definite must watch no matter what, in my opinion. some loves are eternal.
can some kpop girl group please plagiarise? i joked abt using this mv for illit fic purposes, yunah obvs in the role of jurina and then with minju and moka cast as love interests tho idk who'd be who. i'm not saying no or never to that happening though.. i do enjoy the thoughts.

so a couple of weeks ago sakurazaka46 managed to absolutely yuribait me in the best of ways, and with one of my visual 2pick ships of all time, ten/karin! for shallow reasons and vague fondness of karin based on nothing substantial i'm so glad they've been getting pushed these last idk how many months and that it resulted in a proper center for a main single, even if wcenter, for karin?but on top of that the lyrics are insane and included in the mv upload, the mv is beautiful, the choreo is cool. i wasn't crazy about the song on first listen before mv release, and tbf i'm always biased in the sense that i like sakurazaka the most when they remind me of keyaki, but this is such a nice version of their current sound that i really dig, and now i'm so into this track. idk if the mv influenced that or not but i'm so happy about this though. also, karin's silver hair is such an amazing look on her.

thee all time holy grail of 48g yuribait that took lil queer me (this was before i had accepted my lesbianism for what it was lol) on the wildest ride when i first watched it back in 2012. it still makes me feel so absolutely insane, and i'm so happy it was (re?)uploaded in full to youtube just some days ago. i selfishly wish they'd add eng subs so bad to it, both the song and the acting parts. i can't find the old hardsub by fans anymore.i vaguely know that i've in recent years read wmatsui was... complex and not great for the people involved for various reasons, and i know rena was a fair bit older and jurina was really young at the time, but i'm taking this mv to be just that - a music video, in this post, and not focusing too much on those other aspects because frankly i don't know enough.
