Single AKB48 58th (Ne mo Ha mo Rumor) [2021/09/29)

Cause it's a matter of when. I doubt she'll leave this year, but I don't see her going beyond 2022.

I would love a Naachan - Miion - Yuiyui frontline. It looked nice during Ai no Sonzai.

 

Sakura had her graduation single 3 years ago. Time to move on.

 

Hope that will be a summer energetic song

 

Other's prediction: Yukirin's last single
My prediction: Yokohama Yui's last single

Hope:
- Meaningful song (something like River, Yuuhi ga, Chance no Junban, Tsubasa wa Iranai, Negaigoto, etc)
- Old members in senbatsu (Shiichan, Myao, etc)
- Smaller senbatsu members (16-nin or 10-nin like Yuuhi ga)
- Team A, K, B, and 4 songs in B-side + MV
- Undergirls song contain younger gen

Spoiler: Another hope

Contain Sakura's graduation song

 

Sakura is leaving in less than a month. Why would a single released at the end of September by another group she is no longer involved with include her graduation song?

 

Yeah, this whole "AKB only" Senbatsu, for now, sends a message of "everyone is their own thing now", so Sakura having any role in this would be weird.
Especially as it comes out months after she left. lol

 

Kinda ironic how you talk about Jurina invading AKB, and somehow at the same time wish a non-AKB member gets a graduation song on an AKB single, and let's not even get into the point that she'd have been long gone by the time the single is released

Sayanee and Jurina didn't get a grad song with AKB, I personally don't see any reason why Sakura would be an exception

 

No way man!

 

Sakura isn't even in AKB48.

 

Finally!!! I'm so happy today ;w; Such a long wait, I almost gave up hope, but I knew that in this AKB concert, it's the best moment where they could announce a new single. and I'm SO happy that they did! This was such a great week-end for AKB with the 3 concerts (that I didn't watch yet but they all look amazing and I know I'm going to cry when I'll watch them soon) and all these great announcements, new horror movie, new show, and NEW SINGLE! This is just too good! Finally my favorite idol group is active again!

At this point I'm fine with any senbatsu or center, I mean I'm just too happy that there is a new release! Of course I still have preferences, haha. it will be interesting to see an AKB-only senbatsu after such a long time, though I do wonder if they'll include sister groups in b-sides and make them do events (online handshake etc.) for the single?

Since it's AKB-only, there is a chance for Renacchi to be in senbatsu, I really hope so. ;w; I think a senbatsu with 16 to 20 members would be ideal, not too big, because I think that this could be a good single to introduce the current AKB to the public and it might be difficult if there are too many members. So 16 to 20 members is ideal. I also really really hope that they prepared a VERY good song for this single because after such a long wait and anticipation, we really need a good song, and this feels like a new chapter for AKB. I'm SO excited

 

I am predicting either a Yuiri center or a new Gen airdrop center.
Also curious to see if Hiichan will be in senbatsu

 

FINALLY! Now let us never go thru 560 Days (the time it took from the 57th Single to the 58th Single releases) without a single again.

Since it is the first single since Chance no Junban to be an AKB48 Only Single, I'm hoping the B-Sides are just like it as well (Not expecting a Christmas song in September lol) but the return of Team Songs (last time we got them was 2018).

Wouldn't be surprise if she's the center tbh.

 

I'd love a young, energetic center.

Since when Jurina's participation can be called an invasion?

 

Ofcourse she's. She stole AKB's original member's senbatsu spot, not to mention that she kicked Achan from her eternal centre position.

 

Wrote this on Reddit but might as well do here. Really excited for all the senbatsu possibilities for this single, with the sister groups not participating that's about half of the senbatsu slots freed up and available. There's a couple of members I always hoped would get in like Megu, and Seichan is still not a dead cert for senbatsu even though she made the last one. so this gives her more hope of getting in as well. Haven't been this excited for a single in a while

 

I just hope Komi gets a spot back in senbatsu but either way I’m happy we get new music.

Also I hope this has a bunch of b-sides because I want to see all the akb members to perform like we did last night

 

senbatsu prediction :

A : Mion, Yuihan, Erii, Rei, Annin, Kururun, Manaka, Myao, Renacchi
K : Tomu, Mogi, Komi
B : Yukirin, Satopii, Maho, Seichan, Megu, Saho, Yukarun, Shiichan
4 : Naachan, Yuirii, Zukki, Naamin
8 : Yuiyui, Berin, Hiichan, Miu, Nagi, Naru, Odaeri, Momoka

it could be more, it could be less. i'm just thinking these are the members who probably got picked for this single

 

i want Yui in center so bad, but for sake of new generation it's ok if not happen
and if possible i want all the captain can secure senbatsu position for this single

 

didn't yukirin recently say she wanna be an idol even on her 30s (and probably her 40s too)? She's obviously aiming for the eternal idol status, she's not gonna graduate anytime soon.

 

32 would be too big of a number.
I’d actually expect a 21-member senbatsu:
A: Yuihan, Miion (locked), Annin, Renacchi, Rei
K: Tomu (locked), Komiharu
B: Yukirin (locked), Satopii, Maho, Seichan
4: Yuiri, Nana, Zukki (locked), Naamin
8: Yuiyui, Berin (locked), Naru, Nagi, Odaeri, Hiichan
