Single AKB48 38th [Kibouteki Refrain] (2014/11/26)

@hjr1891 And who says I'm buying new singles and DVD? The latest I bought was 1830M. And of course Omoidasenai Hana. And I agree this should be in the 6th single thread.

 

I forgot that team 4's song is about a first kiss, now I see what they're implying with the first few scenes. Thought it was just me who thought the girls somehow looked like couples. The school setting makes more sense now as well.

Edit: Just read a translation of the lyrics, it starts with:
"The sun had set when I went to the locker room
To get something I’d forgotten
You were there after your club activities
It was a surprise for us both"

So a school setting was actually to be expected.

 

Management has made it obvious that they view Jurina as the future of akb - as ace most likely. The fact that they push her should be no surprise.

A's pv is so sexy K has a nice summery feeling though i wish there was more Tano. B didn't really impact me. 4 had some nice camera movement/editing; i know the song is about first kisses, but i wish they could have utilized the latin music better (like a dance club pv instead). 8 was cute.
pv ranking: A and 4 >> K > 8> B
song ranking: 4 >>> 8 > A > B and K

 

A: Nyan/Mina! I can't say anything, just wow. I will really miss them if they grad next year. Nao/Tomu also looks stunning here. Paru/Sakura looks weird, especially Sakura hair lol
K: very beautiful PV, Jurina looks stunning here. maybe little disappointed because Yui not get enough screentime.
B: just copycat Nogi46, not interesting.
4: good concept, but I don't like the songs.

rank A >>> K > 4 > 8 >> B

 

haha what? even in sayanee's part jurina was on the screen..
im not against jurina centerin K but she's not even ori girl from akb and i think they should have push mako and yui more ..

 

Just wanna add on, I was at the handshake event yesterday and watched the full PV. It's not a Ikoma center. ^^;

Anyway, the song and PV for Loneliness Club is really nice! Looking forward for the album release.

 

All right. I am so very jealous of @pinkfluffballs right now.

I WANT TO SEE TEAM B FULL PV TOO!!!!!

 

There are some complaints that the discussion about the PV:s don't should be here. I agree. Can we move all these discussions to the thread about 6th album?

 

It's a matter of perspective, to me the PVs are more related to the corresponding song than the album that they're on, that's why I posted it here where we discuss the songs.

 

Just finished watching them all.
A: Sasuga team A! Another great and PV But somehow Makiho's (?) cute voice didn't fit the song
K: Beautiful song, nicely sang, and Jurina looks awesome. BUT, please stop it Aki-P. Enough with Jurina on K. That team has many great potential members you should look up to Such a waste of talents
B: The only part I like is Sayaya's crying. Damn this girl is a rough diamond
4: Good but...nothing really special
8: Same as team 8. Not my taste

Rank: A>K>B>4=8

 

Juujun na Slave seems fitting for Team K from how I see it. It has this Itoshiki Rival/Scrap & Build feel to it. But I love how Team A got this song and pulled it well. It's been a while like Ruby. Can't wait to see the full version come out!

 

Not sure why you think so. Jyuujun na Slave clearly suited team A the best. It clearly belongs to family Kurumi to Dialogue + Rinjin wa kizutsukanai + hate + few other team A coupling songs.

 

Team A - nice video but I really don't like the song.

Team K - song is ok, but the video is the best! Lots of screen time for Jurina and Sayanee, hope there's more Yuihan too in the full pv.

Team B - well, this song is really bland and sounds depressing, the lyrics weren't that great either. And the video matches that. I feel like if I listened too this song too much, I would to join the Loneliness Club lol.

Team 4 - best song of these four and a really great video too. Love the school theme, it never gets old!

 

in terms of fitting with the back catalog of Team A songs, you're completely correct. however with the PV, coming out, i think this song would have been a better fit for team K because team K has a much better mix of older, more mature girls for a song like juujun na slave. kojiharu being front and center helps cause she's like AKB's quintessential sexpot but otherwise, team A is lacking in girls who are right for a pv like this, imo.

 

Not that team K has better suited members either lol. Not to mention team A has done well in Ikiru koto MV. . And we have Minami as 'dark' song center specialist.

 

I think it's just generally not very appropriate to look at girls who look so young play with handcuffs and dance about bondage.

 

Oh Jezzus...Team K PV an absolute abortion. Team J (Jurina). So any idea who else is in Team K?

Didn't used to mind Jurina but starting to hate her lately since she is there sucking the life out of Team K with the other Kennins.... whats the matter, they not getting enough attention, not enough money that they have to steal from others?
Both her and Sayanee don't sound well...and they both look a bit odd as well...not pretty or cute.

Waste of time and money..of which they will get no further of mine.

 

^good god you sound mad
anyway, based on the short versions of the PVs my ranking is 4>A>8>K=B

 

I think you got me wrong, I only meant it looked like a Team K vibe of song with the last coupling PV's that has been released. But initially, I'm glad that Team A got Juujun na Slave and as I've said I loved it and they pulled it off very well. I'm already anticipating the whole pv to be released.
