I’m not going to make a habit of posting about Nogizaka 46 as I’m concentrating solely on the 000 groups but I just had to share this Youtube video which shows the group performing their own unique version of Aitakatta (which they call Aitakatta Kamoshirenai) on their Japanese TV show Nogizaka tte, doko?. It’s really good IMO – slightly more rockish than the original, sounds a little bit different but still very enjoyable. I wonder how this so-called rivalry with AKB48 will pan out in the future especially with Nogizaka 46 about to launch their debut single at the end of February. This version of Aitakatta is likely to feature on that single as one of the c/w tracks.
