    ^ tbh the message as a whole is ambiguous it can go both ways, if you wanna believe that your opinion or understanding is more "correct" somehow then its koolio.

    If you wanna really know what she meant, maybe you can plan an interview with her and ask her straight up how she feels about the single. Then post a report here and tell us about it.

    But I will not argue with you what she probably meant lol... so we still kool? :approve:

    I'm not saying my opinion is "correct", I am saying that it is inane to translate it the way you did. If you want to say it is ambiguous, then you should translate it in a way that makes it remain an ambiguous statement. You failed to do that and translated it instead to a statement that reflects your slant in interpretation. In fact, the translation of the entire post was poorly done and it was only 3 sentences. I am not even arguing over the meaning of the statement. The point is that the translation is poor no matter the real meaning. Is English even your first language?

    The costumes I can forgive if they are meant to just be one off promotional ones, some of them are even cute individually. Im just so disappointed by the song and choreo. While its not the worst, its really bland and the disco theme is getting really old at this point. And it being a Kojiharu center isnt really an excuse for such simple and lazy choreography, I mean look at BwT, it had Paruru as a center. Even High Tension had more formation changes

    Im just really hoping this isnt the final choreo. Praying for some good b-sides too.

    Hey man, if you don't like my translation then you can look away lol You don't have to be butt hurt lol. If you believe it should be better translated then why don't you provide yours and we compare? But 1.) Its dumb and meaningless to discuss what she actually meant. 2.) This isn't a translation thread. So you can calm down bro I never said my translation was perfect nor my interpretation is justified. Just see it as reference lol if you dun like it just say so you won't hurt my feelings if you disagree with me.

    And no English is not my first language nor is Japanese. Do you have a problem with that?

    Yeah. It'd be nice to see her leading the next gen alongside Jurina and Sakura tbh.

    No, I don't. Just thought it would provide an explanation for your capacity to translate. Now that I know that, I can @Hououin Pic out of here.

    The song is nice. The choreo tho, if they didnt hype it up then its wouldnt be a problem lol. As for the outfits WTF is that? I get its for the wrestling drama but they didnt perform high tension in hostess dresses...

    Short clip of the 16nin version... at least as initially envisioned. Probably this was made with them only know the music (without the vocal) because Kojiharu wouldn't have finished her solo intro when they spin. After that, it all match with the current choreo.
    The problem is that the dance moves need to be performed more sharply for it to look good.
    Also 32nin simply is to big unless they split it up. Probably they haven't really thought about the choreo for the 32nin version and just lined up the members into 3 rows.

    Yeah, I think it's something that will improve with more practice. Even without the cramped stage issue, some of these girls are slow learners.

    The song is good, I like it! I just feel like a lot of this A-side is just... extra. Like 32nin senbatsu for this kind of song is sooo unnecessary.
    Definitely agree that if they would'nt've hyped it up, it might've recieved slightly better reception.
    ...Also with a name like Shoot Sign, I was imaginging the song to be more along the lines of Shooting Love by LABOUM - super energetic and groovy. Got the groovy part down but I wish the energy/melody was a little bit higher.
    Can't wait for different outfits, the wrestling outfits were just uncomfortable to see lol.

    Still like it though and I'm sure the studio version will be awesome. Looking forward to the B-sides esp SakamichiAKB (hope its something similar to Mazariau Mono. As long as the song is Sakamichi quality and all the members are visually and aesthetically pleasing, its bound to be great!).

    Idk about you guys, but for me the song is pretty good. Love it. Even though it doesn't fit as a spring single.

    But the costumes were horrible, I hope they were a one-time thing.

    I enjoyed the song but the dance was a little bland. I did like the costumes though for their uniqueness although I hope it's one time use. Hopefully the choreo gets better with a longer version of the song or something.

    With how many people not liking the costumes, It's kind of cool being in the minority (I loved them).

    It's not bad, but it's not good either.

    Forgettable for now but who knows, the PV and better TV perfs in the future can save it.

    Some of the outfits are actually nice when seen individually, most are just ridiculous, but overall together it just looks like a huge mess with all those different wrestling outfits, and plus HUGE senbatsu...
