    She already said she won't be participating again, but who knows.

    Still, I can see her leaving by the end of the year or beginning of 2019, so either 54th or 55th will be hers.

    I don't think it matters if it's a sendoff center or not, as long as it's solo I'm more than happy for even one more Yukirin center. Crossing fingers beforehand here.

    A beautiful single... I'm a bit biased, naturally, but I'm glad that I can say this is yet another AKB single that immediately clicks.

    Is it just me, but are most songs in this single somewhat melancholic?

    So I have now heard all of the songs, and can actually comment on them. It was, on the whole, another good single for me, with some really pleasant songs. <3

    01. 11gatsu no Anklet - as a milestone 50th single, I found it to be sort of underwhelming, but at the same time I did really like this song. It was really sweet, easy listening, and I will admit to having the chorus stuck in my head.
    02. Sayonara de Owaru Wake Janai (Watanabe Mayu) - as grad songs go, this was good as it showed off Mayu's vocals really well, making me realise how much I am going to miss her voice and her presence.
    03. Omoidasete Yokatta (STU48) - one of my favourite B-sides on this single, they harmonise really well and it was catchy. Looking forward to their first single!
    04. Ikiru Koto ni Nekkyou wo! (Team 8) - I'd have liked Kurenyan in this too, but it was a really good song. Why didn't they have a full Team 8 song btw?
    05. Hohoemi no Toki (7byou-go, Kimi ga Suki ni naru) - another strong favourite, it was unusual which made me like it more.
    06. Yaban na Kyuuai (Dance Senbatsu) - the video is visually pleasing; the song seems a little more all over the place. It was ok, but I'd have liked something more like How come.
    07. Hotei Sokudo to Yuuetsukan (U-17 Senbatsu) - fun and happy and a lot of cha cha chas! Haven't watched the video yet but would like to know which members are at the front.
    08. Yosougai no Story (Vocal Senbatsu) - this didn't hit me with as much power as much as their other song did. May take a few more listens.

    I left it out intententionally since its the election single + they only gives the exact numbers for 2 days of sales. The first day is roughly 2,454,000

    I actually like the song tho lol, probably the best one since Kimi wa melody

    ^ I love this song already, their vocal really made this song worth a listen (especially compared to tracks with new gen which have so many cringey vocal).

    But the vocal here isn't really the main thing unlike the one in High Tension, which has minimal music and highlighting the vocal.

    yea yea yea yea is better than woah woah woah woah~~

    Anklet one is a breakup song
    STU one is a romantic love song
    Team 8 is a life motivational song
    U-17 one is a comical youth song
    Dance one is an aggressive love song
    7byou one is a song that sings about loving to sing because of love
    Vocal one is a first love at sight song
    And
    Mayo grad song is probably the melancholy song he talking about

    Speaking of which I should go translate the STU one right now since the lyrics are out lol

    So comical they make the MV in comic book style. When life imitates art indeed. That song's (and Dance Senbatsu's) short version doesn't do it justice, the full version is a blast. I'll say this could work as AKB A-side

    Just read the dance senbatsu lyrics, it's an SDN48 level of aggressive there. The "dynamite body" has me on the floor tho, did Aki-P really write that? who he has been hanging out with? This is a 61 year old man :^^;:
