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

Watch that be one of the B-sides - a 2016 rendition of SnH lol

 

Reactions from AKB Taimuzu: http://akb48taimuzu.livedoor.biz/archives/47224529.html

Some wotas called it "Dream AKB" but I'm not sure about the rest.

 

I don't care about garduates because anytime I get to see itano,maeda,shinoda,and yuko perform I'm there.i'm probably one of the very few that feels this way

 

80 posts and hardly no one is positive. I think management's crystal ball has failed.

 

I honestly love graduated member show on some MV like in Kibouteki Refrain.
But seriously? to put them in the senbatsu?
i think that's ridiculous

Come on, the old member is almost gone
today akicha announce her graduation
I think AKB need to push the next gen member before it's too late

you can never push old member forever Aki-P
don't be like Ubisoft of Idol

 

From Kouhaku screenshots, nothing confirm the fact that the 4 ori Kami 7 are coming back as center. This news really made waves. From Twitter, a lot of people see it as a big joke. Even worse, as a big offense to new gen. It's totally understandable. At first i was quite shocked, then after taking a look back, i just want to say "why?".

It's in total contradiction with what Yuihan said few days ago. Why do you bring again the old gen while the ultimate goal right now is to move on and build a new AKB worthy of our golden era? Also, why would the 4 ori Kami7 come back and commit to a non-negligeable role in the next single (compared to Kibouteki refrain) even though they are absolutely not obliged to accept? I immediately think about Yuko, because i am one to believe she is the most aware of the necessity to promote new gen (she was captain). Same for Mariko. So why.

My point is, there must be a reason. Or so i desperately wish for something that legitimately explain what's happening right now. You can call it denial, it's true. But if they all come back to end it ONCE AND FOR ALL, then maybe it can turn out not as bad as we think. Or maybe Yuko exchanged her last appearance to demand Team K new stage? A lot of questions need to be answered.

That being said, title of A7 is such of a bad taste, and incur that management is leading AKB in the wrong direction.

 

I'm "positive" this single will still make Aki-Pimp some cash... #anothermillionseller

 

now this is clever

 

Acchan: I will graduate AKB!

(AKB activities continue)

Takamina: I will graduate AKB to focus on my solo career!

(AKB activities continue)

Jurina: I will graduate AKB to focus on SKE!

(AKB activities continue)

 

This is very true

 

That's what I said on IRC! This so reminded me of "Dream Morning Musume" when they gathered graduated MM members into a spin-off group with that name while the regular group was struggling.

 

i'll translate it..

First comment is about "Miion Times finally comes !!", Second, "looking forward to this!!", from Third comment till the tenth was about "The worst, will quit from AKB fandom, if young gen cant sell million it will be management fault, no need something like this, Takamina center again !?, The Bomb festival finally comes (in bad way), Mgmt is stupid, I wonder if its already reach their limit (about AKB success)"

1 from 10 comments is didnt care, another 1 of them support this decission, an 8 of them oppose the decission.

 

超悲報
The title itself is "Ultra Sad New"

 

lol what's up with that title?

also wtf management? You guys should totally move on from the Pioneers lol
Ayyy Sae is there.
It'll be cool if in the PV they confirmed the theory that HKT's Otona no Ressha is a continuation of 10nen Zakura

 

Yeah i think Kuchibiru be my baby is ridiculous if takamina is going to senbatsu again in the next single

SAVAGE AF LOL

 

I hope this is a joke, please tell me it's a nightmare.
I mean what.the.actual.f***?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I really hope they don't sell that precious million.

 

@akimotooo726

まさかの… 卒業しても選抜落ち、あるんかーい！

​

Akimoto Sayaka - "What... I've never imagined that I'd drop off from Senbatsu even after my graduation!"

 

This is hilarious but sad at the same time

 

Management setting the record for longest baton pass in history. They can step on this while they're at it.

As expected of Sayaka. Always comes up with ways to lighten the mood. But I hope she stays far, far away from this contradictory mess.

 

Oh please, not this again.
Is it too much to not spread your kennin hate in every possible threads ?
Jurina & Sayaka became senbatsu before the word kennin existed in the AKB fandom.

And with this line up, this is the 1st time I question myself whether or not i want to buy the next AKB single.
