Single AKB48 55th [Jiwaru DAYS] [2019/03/13)

Well remember, some folks here actually will believe anything. Honestly, It's why I'm glad there isn't a Satirical site (Even though I'd love a 48 Sakamichi version of The Onion).

 

Lol Rika is more beautiful for general public. Hinata is an idol beauty, super childish-looking. I like them both a lot. Ogiyuka, is NGT number one so it makes sense for her to be there, she looks great, humble, great representation. I don't see NGT having more than two reps. why more... some of them don't even appear in the MV for more than 5 seconds.

Any way, the wait is killing me.

 

Hinata is Niigata native.

Her gravure is the best among NGT48 members (at least for me).

 

No, I don't think there is much hype around them since pd48 ended.
And that new years special stage to me was a hint that management will continue to push the same members they want.

 

I wonder how much longer they're gonna let us wait with the real Senbatsu list All this speculating is fun, I guess, but I'd really like a definite list soon It's been almost 2 weeks since they announced the release date. The longer they wait with the senbatsu list, the later we'll get to hear the songs and see the MVs.

 

Knowing management, watch them do the same thing they did last year (wait till about 3 weeks until the single actually comes out to release everything).

I mean we didn't hear Jabaja until February 21st (When the single was released on March 14th).

 

i don't expect AKB to send sasshi off with a center position - doesn't seem like there's any precedent for sending off popular sister group members that way (they center their own group single) and IIRC they basically had to twist her arm to get her to center bagutte ii jan. Realistically there's still time for HKT to drop a single out of nowhere so maybe that's the plan.

that being said, if AKS did send her off with an AKB center it would be a rather fantastic way to close the book on her idol career.

I think i'd be here for another yuiyui center, or maybe it's time for naachan to center again?

 

Mako senbatsu not?

What a bad way to say farewell to her if she isn't.

 

At least, we had already been informed about the senbatsu for Jabaja. It's February already, and all we had for this single is an ameblo announcement and no senbatsu

 

What are your thoughts / wishes for B-sides ?
A Nojima Kano solo should be a shoe in, as the singing contest winner. I wish this won't end on the theater CD.

What about others ?
Team songs ?
Sister groups ?
New sub units ?
Specific units ?

 

I'd say:

- Kano solo
- IZONE + 4846 collaboration
- a couple random units like Dance Senbatsu or something

I'm kinda disappointed that there aren't SG songs in this one.
For some groups (HKT, NGT, STU...) it's basically another single because they get so little on their own, but I guess the NGT case truncated those plans.

 

Yea it's like weird to give SKE/NMB/HKT/STU all new songs and not NGT. Can we just disband NGT so that the rest don't have to suffer.

 

If all groups but NGT got b-sides it wouldn't be weird, we'd all know why that happened and it would be understandable tbh

 

Yeah, let's punish members soley because some management fucked up big time. /sarcasm

Spoiler

Que the dislike truth brigade

 

Dance unit song
Vocal unit song
4846IZ song
Kojima Mako graduation song with Tentoumu Chu OR with Naachan, Juri, Mion etc

 

I don't want NGT to be disbanded but the current situation isn't happening solely because management fucked up.

 

Spoiler: ott

Yes it is. Had management done their jobs correctly from the get go, Mahohon never would have been attacked. And this drawn out shit show would not have happened either.

My 2-cents.

 

Spoiler: ott

Frankly speaking that's bullshit. If members of NGT hadn't been dating yakkai wota then this wouldn't have happened. Management compounded the problem by indulging the dating members and yakkai wota instead of imposing the rules as per contract but you can't just absolve certain members of serious blame for this.

Anyway, there's a whole other thread for that, apologies to the mods for the spillover.

The NGT situation has definitely caused some problems to this single, I'd expect NGT members to have some lower visibility this time around.

 

I doubt if this would be real as @innosu said on Mako thread that she's very likely not senbatsu as she sent some subliminal messages that she wouldn't be such as when members who are likely senbatsu had presumably rehearsal or recording or MV filming on 1/29-31, she was in a salon with Shimada, an exmember, also she claimed she hasn't meet Juri recently. If presumably senbatsu members had activities related to the single on 2/1-2, she was watching Japan football team as she's fond of football which makes another doubt if she's a senbatsu.

Yeah, this is sad that Mako ended her AKB48 career very similar to Naanya.
