"Nobody's Fault" (stylized in sentence case) is the first single from Japanese idol group Sakurazaka46 after their renaming and repositioning from Keyakizaka46. It was released on December 9, 2020.[1][2] The title track features Hikaru Morita as center.[1][3] The single debuted atop the Oricon Singles Chart and the Billboard Japan Hot 100, selling over 408,000 copies in Japan in its first week of release.[4]

Background and release

[edit]

"Nobody's Fault" was premiered during Keyakizaka46's Last Live KEYAKIZAKA46 Live Online, but with YOU! on October 13, 2020.[1][5] Hikaru Morita was featured as centre position in the choreography for the title song, making her the first second-generation member to hold such position after the departure of Yurina Hirate, the most renowned member of the group.[1][6] Karin Fujiyoshi and Ten Yamasaki also took center positions in coupling tracks as the management committee set forth, made it technically a trio-center.[6][7] The formation was announced on the Sakurazaka46 starring variety show Soko Magattara, Sakurazaka? prior to the premiere. There is no "unit song" and "solo song" on this release though a three-row formation was kept. Apart from the third-row members being rotated in different songs, the first and second row members, named "Sakura Eight" (櫻エイト), were featured in all tracks.[3]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for the title song was taken in Sadogashima, west of Niigata Prefecture.[8][9] It was directed by Shohei Goto, also known as the director of Mizkan, Shiseido, Sony and Uniqlo commercials.[9][10] It reached 1 million views in 2 days after released on YouTube.[11]
