ok 1) finally lol. I'm glad she's going to center and have a proper grad song. it's what she deserves.

2) idk what this voucher is for the lip thing, but I doubt it's for international fans? So, like that sucks lol. BUT it does come with a 16 page photobook that edition so like...are we gonna ignore it or buy it?? Really hard sell for me lol.

3) Team songs. I hope they get MVs lol.

 

Tenso/Buyee might be able to do something about it. Or Sakuraism, is he still even on this forum?

 

I highly suppose this limited edition is available from the usual retailers
Just be aware that it is available until there are none anymore

Unfortunatly, those don't.
But Akarin's graduation song, does get one.

 

I'm not that concerned if I miss out on it, but that just might mean I won't think of buying that edition (unless the photobook is stunning then take my money NMB lol)

Do they not have money anymore? it really seems like the funding has gone down a lot. I get cause of covid it effected everyone, but it's pretty sad to see that Team songs are just random B-sides now. And honestly it's not like the MV's were these high budget videos...they were pretty simple, but it always felt like a nice extra for fans to see all the members in an MV. But if they're bangers than I can let it go lol.

 

The pandemic alone might have played a lot.

 

Aw, so many feelings from this! Let's go:

1) Already a new single? Wasn't it like yesterday that they released Datte? I thought AKB was the one really needing something new right now...

2) Really glad to see the NT unit back! Good luck Mizuki!

3) To join everyone on the "no MVs for team songs" topic, I actually don't mind. We got some gems from them (Kyuusen Kyoutei, Boku Dake no Secret Time), but most of the time they were hald-assed and awkward. I remember this blurry one where the camera made you feel like you were drunk and that one were the girls were dancing but not even lipsynching because the song wasn't even ready when they filmed (it might be the same MV for both actually). Lack of money, or time or just plain laziness, not wanting to gather all the girls to learn a new choreo in 30min, film it and then let them forget it because it's never going to get performed anyway... Yeah, I just hope the songs will be good. Suck for the non-senbatsu girls who could have gotten some shining star moment though...

4) Interesting name for the A-side! Not the title I would have expected for Akarin's grad song, let's see how it turns out...

 

Covers are out, see in OP

 

Ok the covers are really weird... Some strange taste. They don't match together at all.
I don't mind a new single this soon. Better than the rest of 48 family waiting till covid is over...

 

i like the covers, but the random white lady made me laugh lol
they could've used saepii instead since she's also graduating

 

'I Love Pork Buns' and 'Youthful Chant to the Buddha'?
Aki-p setting expectations high, I want a full verse about pork bun ingredients and/or eating procedures and a song with mokugyo sound throughout as well as Buddhist sutras as rap




though it's probably an ordinary loud and genki song and a love song

 

Interesting trivia.
Akarin supervised the make up and costumes for the covers artworks
Also, the limited edition is themed as "Sayonara Pink" (B IDOL glossy lip color)
She says the photo is like removing a pink dress

Broooo I fucking love the covers. It's honestly doesn't make any sense and if that isn't NMB than idk what is lolol. Also anything is better than Must Be Now's covers tbh lolol. And the song titles are...interesting lol. Love it already.

 

The song/PV should be coming any minute now, right?

I hope it's good, cause it'll be Akarin and Saepii's last. No more warota sh*t, please.

 

It'd be better if Sae gets to center a single, NMB is the nicest group to their idols. So it's possible.

 

Sadly, she already said this is her last.

 

i hope she at least centers a coupling song

 

I really liked it tbh~

 

The MV will be online on Youtube from19h00 JST (see op)
