NMB48 takes a dark turn in the MV for their 14th single “Amagami Hime” (release date: April 27).

The MV for “Amagami Hime” focuses on Sayaka Yamamoto as the leader of a gang of shoplifters, Miru Shiroma as a dancer with an eating disorder, and Miyuki Watanabe as a young celebrity who falls in love with a guy who likes wearing super long T-shirts. The title of the song translates literally to “playful bite princess”, which is why there are so many shots of the members biting themselves and others. It looks like none of those bites will turn the members of NMB48 into Titans though.

The MV for “Ferry” (Type-C exclusive) shows the inevitable bad end to what would probably happen if you tried to date all of Team BII in a dating sim and they all found out! Shu Yabushita and Nagisa Shibuya are the centers but Miyuki Watanabe is right next to them for most of the choreography and wearing a very bright colored top, in addition to serving up the best rejection in the form of a cake to the face at the end. Waruki attacks! Most of the screencaps below have been selected so that you can experience the rejections as close to first hand as possible. There are also many close-ups of Team BII making sad and teary-eyed faces.
