    Team 8 really reward the members with best HS LOL. that's a good thing I guess, I like the trio Yuiyui-Rinrin-Naruchan. Rinrin especially, I'm so glad she gets that push <3 I really thought management wouldn't push her back when she turned 20, but they still push her and it's such a good push, I'm happy for her ;_;

    Not exactly. It's just AKS giving a push to some of their top sellers in the group. When you look at numbers, these girls are only behind members like Yukirin, Okada and Yuiri. In fact, there are Team 8 members with better sales than girls from other teams that have a bigger push than them.

    Yup, Lovetrip is the throwback of idolish song. Tsubasa wa iranai is really a flop.

    Didn't know selling over 2.5 Million Copies (Soundscan) and 1.5 Million Copies (Oricon) makes it a flop.

    Obviously not commercially, but since the 2016 SSK it's only been performed twice:
    - Miion's solo concert
    - 2017's RH

    I understand why it might be considered a bit of a swept-under-the-rug song, but then again, slower songs are rarely performed.
    The same happens with basically every ballad that isn't Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?

    The foreshadowing in this performance though...
    Naachan center and 5 eitos? A win.

    I really liked Tsubasa wa Iranai when I first heard it. I liked the MV, Mion, and the lyrics, so I listened to it for a while, but kind of lost my hype. I would easily prefer Negaigoto over it. But then again, I really, really love Green Flash and I also love Kuchibiru ni BmB and Shoot Sign, so...
    Also, I really don't get why they perform KFC everywhere. 365nichi, I still like to hear it once in a while, but I really got bored of KFC. Is the hype over in Japan too, or do people still like to listen to it? Because I would rather have them perform songs like First Rabbit, Manatsu no Sounds Good or Eien Pressure (I'm just giving examples) on music shows. Or then again, is it the management of the show who decides it?

    @Shirase Miyuki KFC is probably a bit less popular than it used to be (which is normal) but it's still one of their biggest hit. the public doesn't remember First Rabbit, Manatsu no Sounds Good, Eien Pressure, etc. I think right now AKB aren't in a position where they can decide what to perform on music shows. They aren't as popular as they used to be. it's not like Nogi or Keyaki who get to perform b-sides, album songs, or old songs (like how AKB used to do).

    Maybe management can make AKB perform one different song once in a while (they performed one of the 11-gatsu b-sides if I remember well?) but other than this, they have to go with what's more popular with the public and that's KFC and 365. it used to be Heavy Rotation all the time but they stopped that one after KFC got big LOL it's still nice that they have at least 3 huge hits with the public though. maybe even 4 if we count Flying Get.

    Personally I'm fine with it even though I want them to do other songs too but yeah, I understand that this is what the public knows the best from them. but I never get tired of 365 though so I'm glad they perform it often <3

    Even if they sing different songs, lately it's been more of a miss than a hit, in my opinion. The general public is saturated with AKB (or rather, doesn't care that much anymore) and for a recent song to get some buzz, it needs some kind of unique boost that doesn't always depend on heavy rotation (not the song). 365 got popular because of the drama, right? And KFC was a viral hit with people doing the dance and posting it online.

    Some older songs are recognised because of people remembering the "golden members" and associating them to that image of AKB. The problem with newer songs is not that they're worse (in the technical aspects), it's that they don't insist on people to remember a regular set of charismatic faces to associate the songs with, as they did in the past. So when it comes to general public, they can only rely in uncertain boosts of popularity that happen once in a blue moon.

    So, yeah, I see that it's an official AKB48G VoD service, but it also has partnership with Recochoku (big name in Japanese music industry in terms of music downloads!), so yea, as what @marioworldakb just said:

    This is intended for Japanese audience only. Oh well. :( (Then again, I'm using Recochoku, but if I want to complete my transaction, I have to use a proxy to Japanese IP...)

    Also, does this include TV shows or LoDs or not?
