Single AKB48 44th [Tsubasa wa Iranai] (2016/06/01)

Wow. A lot of surprises
Shiichan in senbatsu at last, feel so happy for her! And first senbatsu for Hiwatan, hope she'll rise like Mion in the future.
Still think a solo center for Mion at this stage of time is too early, but she does deserve it and I believe will become center someday.
Myao and Ryoka...in my opinion there are girls who are more worthy for a push...

 

thanks, saseru always makes me tear my hair out lol

 

Well if this is a bikini single then that would make sense. Same goes to nagi and ikumin who is too young to be in bikini.

 

hiwatan and rara on the same age with them

about B-side, i hope they'll bring back team song..especially team 8 song
no more sub unit song bla bla bla

 

Mion center is such a pleasant surprise!! I was so shocked to see Oya in the Senbatsu list I expected the "next gens" were supposed to be undergirls or the bottom 16 of a 32-nin senbatsu but this time around most of them got dropped espcially Megu, Yuirin, NAANYA and YUUKA. Also feel sad that Milky didnt make it Glad for Rara and Ririka tho

 

Everyday Katyusha, Jurina was 14. Ikumin is 15.
And there are others in this senbatsu thats the same age, so nothing to do with that at all.

 

What I hope: Since there are 3 members from each sister group, put one of each in media Senbatsu.

What I'm happy about: NAACHAN IN SENBATSU!! Myao made it back in Senbatsu!!

What I'm upset about: We do not see Tano. Nor Komiharu and Miki. Milky is also not participating Q-Q Milky can easily snatch her highest this year.

Miki, Naachan, and Kojimako started with the same base. However, gradually, we see Naachan and Kojimako pulling way ahead of Miki. Honestly, it kind of upsets me.

 

第1位☞山本彩 「365日の紙飛行機センター」 「第8回選抜総選挙 初の1位？」
第2位☞加藤美南「第8回選抜総選挙地元新潟開催」「44thシングル選抜」
第3位☞向井地美音「44thシングルセンター」「君はメロディー選抜」

 

I see, my bad for not noticing that. Then now I should be bitter for dropping them

Even though I don't really care for Mion, I'm SO EXCITED for Shiichan in Senbatsu. I'm so happy. I don't think I'll buy the CD (I'm broke and stuff) but I'll work more so I can buy it, I really want to support Shiichan.
I wonder what the media Senbatsu will be.... I doubt Shiichan will be in it but I still hope she will be;;

I haven't had so much hype (or salt) over a single in a loooooong time wow

I agree tbh, 32 members is a LOT of members and naturally some girls get more screentime and such than others. I wonder how they'll incorporate all these members this time

 

Don't you think this will be like Sayonara Crawl? Lols.

 

Because of Mion I think yes

 

I like the line up.

No Megu doe.

 

I like almost all the lineup. Miion center is great! Now give us a bikini single!!!

Except two things which really suck about this announcement: putting in deadweights like myao and shiichan... instead of ikumin and nagi? Wtf were they thinking...
I can understand no naanya though, shame she can't control her eating habits

 

Ok so working through this, as it hit me as I woke up earlier today and I am still trying to process it...

Miion center - yeah, go for it! Next Gen rep, she's making waves and getting the full on push treatment, and I like her. I can get behind this!
Shiichan and Myao - WELCOME and WELCOME BACK! While this is a little redundant if they were going for the whole new era thing, I don't care because SHIICHAN!! Absolutely fantastic.
Ryoochan - I love her, and I don't get why people don't. I am very happy she is back here.
3 Sister Group Members - this is a good way to do it: they are included but doesn't detract from the fact this is an AKB single. 20 AKB members to the 12 sister group members; I just find it a nice balance.
Lack of: Mikichan, Tanochan, Megutan, Naanya, AKANE... are my only sad points. Mikichan seems to have been pushed aside, Tano and Naanya fluctuate in their places, Megu's time is yet to come and Akane just never happens but I always live in hope.

I do think it will be a bikini song again though.
As I am buying this single for the votes as much as the music, I don't mind what the B sides are, whether units or teams.

On the whole... EXCITEMENT AND HYPE!!

 

Deadweights, how could you, my lovely Shiichan

I am really excited about this senbatsu. Good to see Annin, Katomina and Nanami. No Miki, but can't have everything...
As for song vibe, I wish for sth idolish like Kuchibiru ni.

 

I'm really surprised Yamada Nanami got choosen. I really thought Ikumin was going to make it. And also Yuiyui,she got a lot of popularity last year.
Well,Yamada is my team 8 oshi so I'm happy,but it just seems weird X)

 

my favorite picks here have to be goto rara and ririka because I didn't see either of those 2 being in this senbatsu.also totally awesome to see kodama back in and I really don't care about who was left out because I like this line-up so all is good with me.

 

The moment Aki-p decided on the center.

Better than rolling a dice, I guess.
