    I absolutely love Jurina so I feel bad for wanting this as a WCenter with Dasu and Sakura after that performance.

    Nah. Putting a Jurina cutboard like Takamina's in kuchibiru covers would be the best option. 15 girls dancing/singing around a cutboard. Iconic.

    So you must dislike this single too since is totally nogi style. well, most people here is saying that it is finally a good AKB single... and the chorus is basically Sayonara no Imi... I mean, this single is ok... surely better than things like ja-ba-ja or teacher teacher... but I don't find the sense to listen to it, if sayonara no imi already exists and is surely better.

    Is it just me or the few notes in the chorus sound like the begininng of Nogi's sayonara no Imi.. "Konna ni..." "Sayonara wo...."

    That is a weird way to arrange it. Shouldn't 4 be in the middle with 5-6 on either side then 7-8 in the middle with 9-10 on the outside? Usually more central positions are considered better.

    I'm not saying you did it wrong. I'm saying whoever made the formation did it wrong.

    I love the vibe of this song! Tho I prefer a more energetic song considering that the center is Jurina.. but oh well at least its not another KFC

    Anws whats the name of the SakamichiAKB song? somehow I like that song better than the SSK song [hehe]

    What can we do, most Japanese people in big cities practically ride trains at least twice a day :^^;: And it is where they can contemplate a lot, because chatting/talking loudly are considered rude. (by loudly I mean loud by Japan standard :fp:)

    Logically thinking for starting position, that is the position for #7. Considering they use the 1-2-3 pyramid system. She is perfectly visible there than inside the triangle. Later on when they start dancing, I think she and Minarun move inside to usual position of #7 and #8 to get better exposure from #1-#3 shots. You can actually see Minarun a lot when they shot at Dasu and trophy-chan, and she is between Dasu and trophy-chan. Tomu should be at the same position on the other side (Sakura's side), so I don't see the need to complain for Tomu's position. :whistle:

    Are you sure you want to compare NYC subways with Japanese trains? :whistle: never heard a NYC resident pridely boast about their subway tho, more towards complaining [hehe]
    But yeah, rarely heard any artist from London sing about it either :^^;:

    what I am saying is, trains is more or less integrated to Japanese everyday culture.
    Not many consider the same around the world.

    I like the song alot! It's got that bittersweet feeling to it.

    It's the sayonara no imi resemblances that's bothering me. It's just friggin few notes. It won't be difficult to make it different.

    Ogiyuka . Naachan. And Nakomiku steals the spotlight IMO. Especially ogiyuka on that robot dancing in the beginning and Naachan with her melancholic expressions.

    As much as I'm not a big fan of Jurina. It's sadden me to see her absent in her center debut. Which is Something she's been waiting for ever. I'm pretty sure this absence and her drama with sakura gonna make their next documentary dvd sells really well.LOL.

    Not digging the uniform Tho. I feels it's a bit bland and not ssk worthy. (Aren't they wearing toomuch blues lately? Lovetrip, negaigotomochigusare)

    Considering what management seems to think of Tomu, whoever made the formation knew exactly what they were doing :fear:

    I love Nanamin and Sayonara no Imi is the one that makes me interested in Nogi’s music in the first place, I can’t complain. There are some similarities but the girls’ voice make it sounds different anyway.

    The positions also look like this in some frames. Somehow I find it interesting because almost eveyrones on the left have good relationship / more-than-just-colleage with Jurina.

    We shouldn’t be too worried about Jurina not being there for the single’s promotion. She needs the rest and management could give her the 54th single to make up for it.
