    My thoughts exactly.
    Wish they'd gone for some STU unknown girl tbh.
    Or just keep it AKB/Team8 + Sakamichi.

    But I guess since the SSK battle this year is supposed to be between those two... :|

    Why would it be?
    They have a single being released right on her graduation for a reason. :^^;:

    Hopes for Centers! Round 2:

    AKB: Miion
    SKE: Nao
    NMB: Mirurun
    HKT: ... so it's Sasshi/Sakura? Meh.
    NGT: Moeka
    STU: Probably Yumiko again, but hoping for Hinachan
    SakAKB: Naachan

    I actually liked that weird highlight hair, there's a strand on Sayanee's hair as well and I liked it. and I love neon colours as well as funky costume so these costumes fit right in for me. Way better than the leaked photos. The description said that this is the flashiest AKB costume so far, have to agree with them lol. I love love love the MV. The scenery was absolutely stunning (those sakuras!!!), the girls were beautiful, especially Naachan and Sayanee. Yumirin got some shining moments too. The AKB girls got a lot of screen time (esp Komiharu, Juri, Mako, Miion) so you don't feel that the SG overshadowed them. As someone have said, definitely too much slo-mo and we didn't really see the choreography, but I love it regardless. Overall 9/10 MV rating from me (less slo-mo would have scored a 10/10 lol)
    can't say the same for the song tho...

    Just like the song, even the mv seems on slow motion lol

    This feels a little bit weird to me.

    They got black people gospel praising team in the background Lmaoooooooooooooo

    Plus some more random foreigners wearing the gowns lmaooo

    I like the MV but unfortunately I think it could've been done better. It had so much potential though. But they decided to put everything mashed up together into a one big disorganized collage of scenes that have no connection with one another whatsoever.

    And yeah the overuse of slowmo shots as well. But the slowmo shot on Yumirin was pretty nice. I mean the song is slow tempo already and add its even more slow now lol but interestingly even though the mv was full 5 min it felt like 2 min. Relativity theory I guess.

    is it just me but doesn't it feel like this is the MV for another song and not the song on the single? It's exceedingly well shot and the production value is high, but between the slow-mo and the outfits, I don't think it fits the song well.

    same.
    don't see anything of "funky night" in that bright daylight MV.

    but the song and MV are okayish separately (could have been better in 1.25 speed)

    She is taking a hiatus and couldn't make it to the MV shooting.
    Hopefully she will return by the time promotion starts

    She wasn’t involved in the singles making because she is on indefinite hiatus. I don’t know if they even consider her part of senbatsu now? TBH I thought they would replace her with Akarin. They had enough time.
    I do hope she gets better soon and gets another shot at AKB senbatsu!

    ——

    Love the single, MV and outfits. Can’t wait for senbatsu to be all new gen. Really it’s time to see a brand new face of 48G.

    Some trends from 2ch:
    - Regarding Mita Mao in NMB48's Senbatsu: she doesn't sell a single slot, so people are wondering why she's in. Her fans are happy. People say that it's not like the B-side senbatsu matters, asking if people even remember what was the senbatsu last year, someone speculated it might be a dance number after all.
    - The song's MV seems like a tribute to Koichun. The extras are getting too much screen time. Yuiri and Naru got a decent amount of screentime, while Mikurin and Macharin were almost invisible. The song and MV don't really fit Naachan.

    Translating the best comments from 2ch. (tln: I'm not fluent in Japanese, yada yada yada)
    NMB48 Thread;
    Laughed out loud when I imagined the moment Mita (Mao) heard the Senbatsu announcement w
    "(Shaking) Ri, ri, Ricchan! My n-n-n-name was called out in the Se-se-senbatsu, bbofuosjajakjcnalms"
    三田が選抜発表知った瞬間を想像したら笑えてくるw
    「()り、り、りっちゃーん!せ、せ、せ、選抜に私のななな名前がああああ、うぅぅううう、ぶふぉるぉぐほgほfだじゅktd」

    Announcement thread;
    Pretty sure there were members you could see less than the trumpet extras

    Why are they always releasing the MV at such a time? (tln: it's 4am in japan)
    MVっていつもこんな時間に公開だっけ?

    Is Shinobu broken?
    Because it looks like this.

    Now that makes sense, I was really confused as for why the "?" was in the Japanese title, seems like I just put it in there while I was translating.

    Okinawa has cherry blossom in January but would they have gone all the way there just to film a couple of short scenes?

    From the description in the YouTube video:

    ※In the『Ja-Ba-Ja Music Video』recorded in the DVD of the first-run limited edition and regular edition of「Ja-Ba-Ja」, you may catch the behind-the-scenes shots from the music video shoot!

    Lyrics : Yasushi Akimoto / Music: Naoki Endo / Arranger : APAZZI

    Title song of AKB48 51st Maxi Single「Ja-Ba-Ja」

    The center position is held by Nana Okada, who is the top good girl of AKB48 and also the captain of STU48 which had its major debut on 1/31!

    This is a medium dance number, soul train AKB-style! This music video is hyper-vivid and funky with YKBX taking direction and the most flashiest costumes in all of AKB48 history.

    Please don’t miss the “Ja-Ba-Ja Dance” where waves are created with the arms where it sings「♪Ja-Ba-Ja Ja-Ba-Ja」!

    I'm glad that with that and the romanization in the thumbnail the discussion about how to write it properly in romaji has been solved :D Also, I like the intensity of the colours in the video, and I'm quite happy with the screen time, but I still agree that the song (and also the dance at the end of the MV) feels a bit slow

    I'm utterly...floored at how much color & stuff they tried to shove in this video. I feel like I got raped by a bowl of "Lucky Charms". The Slow-Mo...Why so much?? Why?. Who is "Kami 7" again?? (I know who is) the Video has SOOO much Jurina & almost no Suda Akari- lol. The show Sakura & KomiHaru atleast.

    Remember when we all commented on the "Female Extras" only flyers....but a Gospel group is shoved in for like 2-3 seconds- lol. It looks like they shot 1 video & someone retro-fitted it to fit another song. So weird.

    So whoever had "KFC 5.0" wins the prize this single!!
    My Final intensive Analysis of AKB48's future & thoughts on the next single are below & it's a Barn Burner....(send the kids to bed)

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    Someone on Twitter posted "The 51st Single NEVER Happened!!" - it's like "The Last Jedi" level WTF is wrong w/ you AWFUL!!! Only crappy sales are gonna slap some sense into AKI-P at this point and then again maybe NOT....Maybe AKB as we knew it over. I have NO Idea what "THIS" is....Take the girls from "River" and slap them into this song in 2011...What is it? Good Luck kids - this is YOUR AKB48 now.
    And that's all I have to say about this issue.
