Single AKB48 62nd single [Idol Nanka Janakattara] - 2023/09/27

It's funny how yuiyui centered 2 singles in which both lyrics are.... controversial to say the least

 

Hashimoto Haruna 2/36 (1)



Yamaguchi Yui 1/30

Ah I thought Yuna was going to have a sold out slot first for 18th gens since she was close to it, but it turns out Yuichi got it first Still great for me, they are my 2 favs anyway lol


Btw I'm excited for the MV especially after seeing that the group picture has references to past MVs. I wonder what kind of video they'll have for this. what if they reenact some of the old MVs and wear the original outfits of it, I mean they had the whole exhibition recently... Also I'm very curious about what we'll get for the b-sides! I guess one song will be for the 18 KKS!

 

Sharing here the lyric video I made with @bonjourmarlene's translations (Thank you), with some words I added.

Also, Mion's serious take on the lyrics were pretty interesting.

While Odaeri was straight on saying it's not about the fans and that she disagrees with the line she's assigned to sing in the song. LOL

Hashimoto Haruna 4/36 (1)

She sold one more slot

Sakagawa Hiyuka 1/42 (1)

She's going to sell one more slot

Gyoten Yurina 0/36 (2)

Oh nice! I talked about that in her thread but, there was a japanese comment that pointed out how Yurina was the only original eito who didn't have a sold out slot for this single yet. and now she's about to have 2! I'm glad. I like her so I want to see her doing better

Masai Mayuu 0/36 (1)
Kudo Kasumi 0/30 (1)

Mayuu and Kasumin getting close to a sold out slot! Good, it's always nice to see KKS doing well. I didn't think Kasumin would be the next to have a sold out slot, glad for her! well I just thought about it but not all 18th gens have the same amount of slots though... so I guess it's hard to compare/rank them. Like Yuichi was the first to sell, and Yuna was second, but Yuna actually has more total slots. So I guess they're kinda equal, and then it's Hinano, then Kasumin. but Sae, although she's at 0 for now, also has more slots, the same amount as Yuna.

Anyway, hopefully more members can sell the next rounds!

 

MV premiere at 22:00 JST tomorrow (8/26):

It'll be preceded at 21:30 by a special broadcast with details of the CD jackets and special purchase benefits:
https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12817693940.html

 

Participating members:
Asai Nanami, Iwatate Saho, Oguri Yui, Sato Airi, Nagano Serika, Hirata Yuki, Yamauchi Mizuki

Last time all participating members were center for coupling songs, I wonder this time will be the same?
I'm not expecting 2 consecutive Bside centers for Naamin but if it happens, I'd prefer Naamin-Saho wcenter for UGs coupling song (finger cross for an MV) or Naamin-Zukky center again.

 

As I've just posted in the General thread, according to 'Music Natalie' tomorrow's broadcast at 21:30 will include an announcement of the song title and unit name for the movie 'Girl's Drive' with YuiYui, Zukki, Naru and Sorara:

I also found out a very interesting fact:
Yamaguchi Momoe retired from showbiz at 21 years old, the same age as... Yuiyui
