Single AKB48 43rd [Kimi wa Melody] (2016/03/09)

She didn't. ArashNine forgot to put her name (and me since I was copying his or hers list.).

 

WHAT??? I would never expect this... I thought in 2016 they would do more "new gens" promo but they're doing the opposite o___o I LOVE the grad members, but this is so weird. I mean, I love them and AtsuYuu centers have always been my favorite, but to bring them back in 2016 now... *shock*

 

People here are thinking that the graduates are going to take the front spots but I doubt it. The grads won't perform at MSte, MJ, etc. and they might get nothing more than interlude lines.

Anticipating for an Annin/Renacchi wCenter.

 

Embarrassing mess. I hope the song is decent, at least, but really, they're shooting themselves in the foot with this.

 

Looks like this might have been a reason why Acchan, Takamina, Mariko, Tomochin, and Yuko are in this single.

 

What the fuck is this bullshit
So much for AKB's rival being old AKB

 

@rendizzz @ForrestFuller Yeah I forgot her... T_T

 

Maybe thats gonna be the pv...

 

five grads centers

 

Start off the 11th year by starting over with some 1st years? Well played Aki-Pimp, we'll played. #golfclap



(maybe on the next single after this, we can add some 2nd years. Come Aki-P, make it happen)

 

There's only 15 members minus the grads. Yui has to be there *crosses fingers*

No Team 4 and Return of the Grads? Mmmm, really looking to the future aren't they... *colossal facepalm*

There seems to be a resounding negative reaction to this. I wonder how Japanese fans are reacting and if this is going to have the effect management wanted...

 

five grads centers

 

no need explanation.. they're so hungry with million sales, they even ready to lick their own shit to get million sales lol

1. they will have a lot of media attention, wich is much trendy than NHK gimmick, i mean.. they will be in every headlines for the whole week or even month with this decission
2. the graduate fans will buy this single

so much reason to concludes that mgmt really desperate to get millions, no.. they're not despreate.. they are so fucked up lol

 

lol what Sayaka Akimoto tweeted

 

Aki-p's answer to crisis: use kennins. Kennis didn't work: use graduates. AKB has been saved!

 

If the management had focused more on the current members and not on the graduates for this upcoming single, the five senbatsu spots now taken by graduates could've gone to interesting new senbatsu picks, but oh well... Am I being too optimistic if I hope that the SSK voting single will have a more refreshing bunch of members?

 

They should have made 365 as the 42nd single a-side and this the last Takamina (as an AKB member) single + in celebration of 10th anniversary, which then coincides with the annual theme AKB single release around this 43rd release date.

 

Maybe Akicha announced her graduation to have a better shot at making senbatsu

 

Yui is in this single but the management is the rival here. I can sympathize with her in this situation.

 

WHAT. THE.
this is such a mess...
the management has completely gone insane...
poor Takamina. this single was supposed to be her last.... she said that she was noticed about this only yesterday.
poor new generations, they will never see the light... wtf, just wtf...
