Gotta Face Forward

02.19

Due to the release of ZKT48's 1st single, I decided to make a little review on my blog.

Oshima Yuko.

Recycled candy boxes-like seifuku.

You're absolutely right! It's Mae Shika Mukanee.

Mae Shika Mukanee has a meaning "gotta face forward". Got a clue how the song would be?

Mae Shika Mukanee is Oshima Yuko's last single before graduating. It's a good song after all. Seems like the producers were trying when they created it, and maybe they were.

Compared to the most of AKB48 released major singles, Mae Shika Mukanee has a discrete theme. AKB48 had crawled out of its snake pit of mediocrity random oddball songs. Their major singles with Yuko as its center never gets me bored! The energy level in the song is great, especially for a live concert. Mae Shika Mukanee won't win any awards for song production, but it's a song that's at least slightly less bland than AKB48's recent songs, so I'll take it.

So, let's go to the spotlight of this post.

"Gotta face forward

You'll notice the tears

'Cause if you look to the side

Gazing into the distance

And gritting my teeth

I'll take this path!"

This song is telling us to take step forward, to develop ourselves to be a better one, to build a better life. Somehow people don't succeed because they still clutch in their past and loomed by their past. It's either because they are sure that it's okay to stand idle or they withdraw their selves from changes, they don't want to out from what called as comfort zone.

"I met you

And we hung out all the time

We struggled against

The days of our youth

Because we knew

That the important

Things in life

Lie in the future"

This line caught my eyes a bit. It triggers me to remember my buddies in ZKT48 and ZKB48 at their old era since this song is about letting what behind us and go forward.

🌚

"Even if we're having fun right now

It can't go on forever

We can't cling to it"

Just like what I've explained before.

🌚

"Gotta face forward

At least, in the end

Let me go out with dignity

My new world

Scares me, but

There's no going back now

Even if I look back on the road I walked

All I see is the wind blowing"

Touché! That's the point. Sometimes the thing that spooks us to move from our comfort zone is the fear of meeting new things and menaces because we had accustomed in our customary behavior in a particular situation.

And this is it. New ZKT48 has born in the RP world. New friends, new beginning, new atmosphere, well, it wasn't that hard to get used to it. The new hopes from new aces has been arised.

🌚

"The night my relationship

Fell apart

I stood on the swing

Like when I was a kid

When I shouted obscenities

In a loud voice

You were right there next to me

And your kindness pierced through me"

Again, about the friendship in the past.

🌚

"No matter how hard it gets

The sadness can't last forever

Let's live strong"

I ever read a good sentence said "if you're sad, cry a river, and get over it!" (it reminds me about RIVER lyrics smh). Nothing lasts forever and so does sadness. It may hurt, it may depressing, but the one who is able to end it is you yourself. Do you really acquiesce yourself to live under the sorrow? Of course not. Even stupid people who believe in apocryphal stories always wish a "happily ever after". Remember that everyone deserves happiness.

🌚

"When it's time to set off

Cast out your memories"

I also ever read a novel that written around 1930's. It's about someone who failed in defending his marriage because he's still loomed by his past. I want to say that if the only thing that we can do to move on is by casting out your memories, then go for it. Miyawaki Sakura ever said in her speech in 2015 Sousenkyo that we ought destroy the old one to build a new one (I didn't expect she could be that wise???? Lmao). We have to sacrifice something to get another thing.

I think, that's all. I'm writing much more than usual today. Thank you for spending your time to read this post.

AAAAAAAAAAAAND THE LAST BUT NOT LEAST LET'S BUY ZKT48 1st SINGLE, MAE SHIKA MUKANEE. YOU CAN MENTION ME ON MY TWITTER OR SIMPLY GO TO THE PURCHASING PAGE.

P.S. I ALSO DARE YOU TO READ CISAV'S FANFICTION ON HER WATTPAD.

Before talking about my tiring week, I want to apologize if you couldn't access my blog.

There was something wrong happened to every member's blog I myself didn't understand much.

But Unyi-P said it caused by the usage of domain name was already up.

But, now the problem had fixed well.

And I intentionally create a new post to prove everything is going well now.

Okay. Let's start.

Good evening. As another cliche opening I usually use to start a writing.

How's life, people?

Well, me, I'm fine since the last time I checked. Although this week was being the busiest week I've ever been through.

Busy yet meaningful week.

It started when I was being trusted to train some understudy members from 1st generation: Reina, Mayuyu, Uha, and Nyan.

There, I had to teach the proper way to sing quickly and create a lively MC.

I got a little problem to determine the right time to train them together. Unfortunately, their mundanes had another business in real life in different day. That sucks at first. But I didn't want to make everything getting worse so I followed what they wanted.

I used #JurinaJoongki hashtag for my students' theater training to distinguish mine and another members'.

The training ran for three days. On the first day, I trained Reina and Nyan. It didn't go as good as what I wished so I made a deal to re-train them in the next day. On the second day, I trained Uha and Nyan. It was better than the day before lol. And on the last day, I trained Mayuyu in the daytime and Reina in the evening.

It was tiring so much.

But,

somehow I felt a comfort to teach some things that may useful for another people.

Remember my goals here?

One of my goals here is to be there when I'm needed.

I'm also grateful they could understand my explanation quickly and practice it well. They are great idols.

One day, please promise me you can aim the zero position, okay?

Don't waste my attempt to make you better or I'll kick each of you until you cry in agony.

It may be hard, the way you're going through may be steep, but as long as you keep endeavoring, you can anytime reach it.

I hope you guys still remember me when you're already on the peak.

I'll be the witness of your success from the bottom to scream your names out loud.

I'm looking forward it.

Good luck!

Deeply apologize because I didn't take a picture together with Reina.

Don't forget, tomorrow ZKT48 will release the 1st single, "Mae Shika Mukanee". Since I'm the center of the A-Side then buying the copy is a must.
