    Really don't like this Mv... we know that prod want to put Sakura center of produce48. But I'm just enough to see her every where on this Mv.
    Dasu is not the second ?

    Ps: need more screen for nana she convey a atypical way. Love her charm

    I thought this was a really nice way to release the MV without Jurina. I really like the MV and my opinion on the song has got better. My one complaint would be to switch Dasu and Sakura.

    It's alright, but last years UG's song was way better.

    just try to read MOST UNDERLINED comment in this MV.. thanks google translate!.
    1. Some Japanese non-fans still spit off because SSK tragedy towards Jurina to Sakura in TV, so they blame jurina in various ways.
    2. Some Inter/J-fans non-Sakura side, still.. they look justice for Dasu
    3. Some newbie, i bet they're PD48 stan, and they looking for Sakura, Nako, Juri. and confused about tragedy behind this MV was made.
    CMIIW ;)

    Reading all these comments I got my pitchfork ready to join in on the bash train.

    After watching the MV I don’t care about anything else anymore... I just want Jurina back. The incomplete drawings, texts and CGs hurt my heart so much.

    I hate the contact lenses in the covers


    PV is lovely even though it’s different from the usual upbeat SSK singles. The sims and drawings didn’t bother me, they make the PV seem somewhat original and it’s better than ignoring Jurina completely or pretending she doesn’t exist.

    I love the UG song! NG is very...forgettable? I can barely remember how it goes, even after looping it for a while last night.

    Ryoha and Seichan seem to be the first (that I've seen) to show the UG outfits: https://mobile.twitter.com/seina_fuku48/status/1032410641112301573

    Sentimental Train is a beautiful song, but that PV = :shocku:

    Next Girls song is so generic. Too bad, the only kami-song for next girls is Kondokoso Ecstasy. After that, Aki-P doesn't even care the Next Girls sake...

    This is shaping up to make a bid for my least favorite AKB single of all time.

    MV: We Precure now! CG Jurina is uncanny valley territory. Alas, Sentimental Train doesn't have enough hook to be an instant grower like most AKB A-sides. But the worst part is how Dasu got shoved out of the way to make more room for Sakura...as expected.

    Covers: Are actually very nice.

    B-sides: I really hope the unrevealed ones sound more interesting, the two we've got so far are -_-zzzz

    I actually like the song and the MV (minus the terrible CG). It has a nostalgic feel to it. I also prefer the yellow uniforms better than those blue poorly tailored dresses they used in the previous performances

    Strangely I think the MV story actually works without Jurina. Like she is supposed to be the mysterious transfer student with a fleeting existence. It's actually fitting. And the whole thing about leaving and coming back someday... it's actually a bit too fitting..... *tinfoil hat*

    oh the next girls song is pretty bad lol. Makes the UG's song seem so much better by comparison now lol. Out of the 3 we have heard I only really like the A-side.

    I just listened to NG song and wow, Aki-P actually green-lighted that? It's one of the most forgettable song I've ever listened to. Miss Cher didn't gather her Thai armies for that and poor PD48 Reaction Queen, she deserves a better center song. UG song is not that bad tbh, at least the instrumental is somewhat memorable to me.

    I think this was a pretty creative way to handle Jurina's absence. Yeah, Sakura and Dasu's parts should have been switched, but overall I think they did a good job making the best of a bad situation (Jurina's absence)

    I'd suggest them to hire Andrew Thomas Huang if they wanna make another CGI MV.

    My favorite artwork of him.

    Maybe some of you would think that MVs by Huang are dark. Anyone can suggest any other CGI director that has brighter vibes?

    Dasu and Sakura part should be switched, yes. But Dasu's interaction with "Jurina" should not.

    oh noo i'm cried after watching that MV it just makes me so sad to know that Jurina so sick that she couldn't even be there, can't wait for the fixed MV..
    i'm soooo happy though for Tomu screen time! yeaay finally!!
    the song started to grow on me, i liked it a lot better now than i first listen to it, it's quite a good song..


    bout the whole sakura/Dasu screen time.. i agree that Dasu should get more than Sakura, but come on it's nothing new, in management's mind it's always Sakura>>>>Dasu and considering this is supposedly sakura's last election single, they just decided to go for it, despite dasu is 2nd and sakura is 3rd.. so i'm not suprised.. but still, Dasu's fans, have the right to get angry at management
