    I actually love the song and MV for Sentimental Train. Despite the CG and stand in acting, I actually felt sad when I watched the mv and it made me really want Jurina back :( But like how many others have said, I wish Sakura and Suda Akari switched roles I feel bad for akari. ALSO Muto Tomu getting screen time makes me so happy my girl is finally getting some recognition (but salty that she doesn't have her own featured cover like the rest of Kami 7 minus Jurina). I also love the orchestra ver of Sentimental Train that's at the end of the MV it sounds beautiful. This isnt the first time akb has had orchestra/piano ver of their songs at the end of mv's I kinda wished akb released those versions as well coz I know I would buy it (imagine a whole album of orchestral akb music I would be so happy :corr:). These also might be one of my top favourite covers of all time, the girls look so beautiful I stan natural beauties :inlove:

    Here are translated lyrics :):

    Running through the countryside area, the silver train
    When its speed drops (an approaching station)
    Today too, you'll come riding on it? (In a gray uniform)

    When it's ponytail day, it means there's a test
    It gives you fighting spirit you say... (I heard the rumor)
    From a bit of a distance, I sent a stealthy cheer

    Isn't that certain something a thing called love? (for the first time)
    I myself have perplexing emotions

    That such painful mornings as these would come
    I hadn't anticipated until now
    Is it my heart throbbing or something taking hold of me trying to scream
    If I could clearly show my true feelings
    Would this murkiness in my chest disappear?
    Not doing anything, unable to do anything, every day
    Sentimental Train

    Two stations before mine, you get off with your friends
    It's merely your ordinary day (of course)
    Beyond the window, the sky that I've always seen (just like happiness)

    To think I would think "I hope we meet again soon"
    It shocked me though (stuck in my mind)
    That for one moment you would look my way, in my fantasy

    Even if I were to deny it, it can't be anything but love (Definitely)
    To the extent that if I were to like you more than this, it would be trouble

    Why is it so heart-wringing
    Just to think about you
    With nothing on my mind, I recall again the morning
    If I were to recognize my own feelings
    Would I be more at ease than now?
    But I don't want to put it in direct words
    The slow train

    Until graduation, day after day
    As everything sparkles
    This train, where is it heading I wonder?

    That such painful mornings as these would come
    I hadn't anticipated until now
    Is it my heart throbbing or something taking hold of me trying to scream
    If I could clearly show my true feelings
    Would this murkiness in my chest disappear?
    Not doing anything, unable to do anything, every day
    Sentimental Train
    continues running

    Yes, it's beautiful. But somehow in my image it's about an ojisan watching a schoolgirl in a train.

    Hmm most of the songs on this single don’t really appeal to me. They’re all nice songs but most are missing something. I do really like Upcoming though. The song and the video are really nice.

    Undergirls MV wasn't what I what expecting (aint a bad thing though) but I love it.
    Cherprang really shines in the Next Girls MV
    Not really feeling the Future Girls Song (MV is alright, do love them trying to tie balloons to stuff animals lol). Naruchan really shines as the center.
    Loving the Upcoming Girls song and MV (very beautiful).
    Kinen Waku song and MV are okay (Nothing special)

    Song
    Upcoming Girls > Senbatsu > Undergirls > Kinen Waku > Next Girls > Future Girls

    MV
    Upcoming Girls > Undergirls > Senbatsu > Future Girls > Next Girls > Kinen Waku

    All of these MVs are pretty good for this single (All are different MVs as well).

    The songs are pretty basic, nothing caught my attention on first listen, but I do think FG UG and UCG got decent songs. And the music videos were all really nice EXCEPT Next Girls.
    God this song couldn't be any more basic and boring and the music video and outfits look totally cheap. It's horrible.

    I only like despite the senbatsu song, Upcoming Girls & Undergirls song. The others are pretty bland:(

    Obviously I am biased as hell, but that Upcoming Girls is pretty much everything I hoped for. And actually has the most dance of the MVs except senbatsu I think. I only wish it had been released just a week or two earlier...

    I really like the Undergirls song too. It had a lot of Kojimako.
    The world senbatsu one with the yukatas was a nice song, but had zero dance, which is a shame. Presumably the full MV will have some.
    Next and Future didn't really make much impression. The dances both looked like the type of thing you learn in 5 minutes and can do really lazily, which is a shame. Cheerful girls though, so eh.

    One thing is that I really wish they all had name tags, or name subtitles like in Akbingo performances. I don't follow the whole of 48G and the different hairstyles in the bowling one especially really make it harder to identity who is who.

    Overall not a bad haul this year :) now I want some live or 48show performances, but it's so hard to get all the girls together in the same place.
