    Will definitely need a few more listens to like and I agree with everyone else that it has Keyaki vibes. Reminds me a bit of Kaze ni Fukaretemo especially the chorus. The beginning beats remind me of TT

    I like the chorus for sure. I'll look forward to the studio version it sounds like a banger atm. Good end of year song I suppose (kind of like High Tension). Looks like Sakura will be busting out some mad dance moves based on the snippets the girls showed on the radio show.

    This is definite not Kpop, I'd say something Keyaki would release.

    I mean if they want Kpop then why not buy a Kpop track from say Black-Eye Pilsung or S.Tiger then Akip can write the lyrics.

    i surprisingly like it. iwhen i first heard the title and such i thought we’d get a crappy k-pop like song that’s rushed out for their departure. i just hope they changed “no way man” to something else, like the beginning of the chorus could’ve started with a catchy japanese phrase. it doens’t sound k-pop at all, i think it sounds kind of like keyakizaka46 because of the distinct beat at the back during the verses. you’ll hear a similar beat in the verses of kazenifukaretemo, and also in teacher teacher except TT is less distinct (even when i’m comparing audio vs. video) and gives a different vibe. i hope that made sense. you can imagine keyakizaka moving as a group and popping to it. overall it sounds like a song we would get if keyazakizaka and akb theatre songs had a child and named it Synth.

    Heol. No wonder when I heard it first time, it reminds me with N3's last song lol.

    Tbh, it has neither k-pop vibe nor keyakizaka vibe. It's like mix of N3's last song and Koi no Onawa (with some Halloween Night vibe)​

    What... is that? The choreo better be hella good, because the song is not doing it. If they want to go Kpop, the Japanese song for PD48 finale is how you do it right.

    Really, first Ambivalent and now this, Aki-P is going EDM now, who's responsible for this lol.

    This would have been a coupling track back around 2013, now they see it as an a-side...

    Hmmm, something that will be Team A song for B-side back then. :D But I think they kill it this time. Would be something good and grow on people in my opinion. Especially those who just discover AKB through P48 or want to see Saku-Nako-Hii parting song. If you see Teacher2 MV comment section on YT, many new fans actually like it and also the center. So yeah, compare it to Teacher2 thread here :hehe:

    I would say it is kpop-ish. After first listen the image for MV is dark color palette like SNSD "Mr. Mr." And dance heavy choreo. I didn't listen to Keyaki, but somehow their image also fit with the song. So after going Sayonara no Imi now going to Ambivalent+Kpop juice? :fear: And people will still complain :lol:

    But of course some people here will say "what the hell is this :censored:" while some others loving it [hehe] usual things we do on single's thread right?

    just like any artists/performers. there will be a time when if you not careful, you will lose yourself in the process just to fulfill the public demands. this is it for AKB, they lost their own voice in attempt to be accepted to the wider audience. its tricky!. so i am kinda glad that every now and then they still coming back with songs like sentimental train. but seriously.... this is rather dissapointing.

    NO way man... this single sounds like kpop?
    what is kpop about this? are people just mentiong kpop because of IZONE members?
    I've listened to kpop for 8 years and this song isn't even structured like a kpop song, nor does it even sound kpop

    song is good so far for me, sounds like a fun song and the dance looks fun too
    singing and dancing and the music actually matches in speed (THANK GOD)
    Just hope they don't use too much crappy CGI mountains or CGI sakura, hyundai hitomi, and Kim Nako

    What a great song. Now we need the MV. We can't have KFCv3 or Sentimental Trainv2 every release. The fast lyrics are great finally, I agree some 46 vibes here.

    I like the song! I've listened to it many times yesterday and today, and every time there seems to something new to be found in the song.

    Someone on the ANN SR commented yesterday that it sounded like 90s Jpop, and I kind of agree with that person now.

    Well, that's a nice lead. Care to share the example...for further research.

    After 2nd and 3rd listen, this might be legit tho. Aren't people here waiting for Uza 2.0? This might come close IMO. Don't let me down MV!

    Hey now, I'm looking forward to seeing CGI Sakura, Hitomi, and Nako in the MV (with CGI Jurina looking off in the distance).
