Great NEWS!!! Happy to see that at least SKE48 are making MVs for each type.

 

This is great news! I wish each 48 group could have at the minimum 2 releases by year... Having a new single this early in the year means they'll definitely have another one! also wow 4 MV! Crazy that this used to be normal but now it feels like luxury lol. I'm glad that SKE's management is investing in them! Looking forward to this and I'm curious who will center, I liked the Mirei center so I wouldn't mind if it's her again since she received good response. Someone else getting a first center would be nice too, maybe Oka! I like her ^^

 

I'm wishing, the unit contest winner will be featured as one of the coupling

 

Senbatsu prediction:
Last senbatsu + Sugiyama Anan & Hirano Momona

Center position: Hayashi Mirei/Sugiyama Anan WCenter or Hayashi Mirei solo Center or Dasu Center

 

SKE48 seems really productive.
Center prediction: Mirei, Oka, Ego Yuna, Kumazaki

Spoiler

if this isn't graduation single of Dasu or Nao

Go Go Ouchan for 1st center position, if don't at least put her in front row please. Mirei's another center is absolutely fine since I really like latest SKE48 single. Egochan and Kumachan do have some chances either, both have been waited for so long to touch this.

 

Nice News!!! Finally a new single, this many PV(!) but why only 2 Songs per CD?
Rooting for Mirei as center to manifest her position as new ace
Of course Ouchan would be nice too

 

Since it was anounced during the live yesterday with Prima Stella and some seniors (instead of Coming Flavor), i wouldn't be very surprised if the B sides are mainly dedicated to units.

 

I think it should be Mirei again, flanked by two new pushes as well.

SKE can (and probably should) take advantage of the chance to launch a fresh image.

Senior popular members can still be front row but on the sides maybe?

I enjoyed the last single even if my oshi already graduated.

Makes me feel there's hope for SKE's future.

 

You know what, I'll just predict the senbatsu, no matter how wrong it is:
Team S: Aoumi Hinano (they have to pick one 9th Gen at least), Inoue Ruka (centered Aozora Kataomoi), Kitagawa Yoshino (joyful energy), Sugiyama Anan (new Gen push as she is similar to Mirei & they already tried shipping them), Nomura Miyo (center of Coming Flavor), Hirano Momona (in B-Sides she is often in front)
Team KII: Igarashi Hayaka (huge fanbase in a very short time), Ego Yuna (is pushed a lot), Oba Mina (it's her last single), Hidaka Yuzuki (pretty good option for a background girl), Furuhata Nao (no need to explain)
Team E: Asai Yuka (Produce48 chance), Kumazaki Haruka (she's currently a pushed), Sato Kaho, Sugawara Maya (the live action stage play thing), Suenaga Oka (the 7th Gen ace), Suda Akari (maybe she's center & about to announce graduation, lol) Hayashi Mirei (upcoming Jurina)

 

Any suggestions regarding the song? (Did Dome girls post anything?)
I am pending between Oki Doki Genki Style and Chocco no Dorei bubble

 

More information about the new single will be unveiled in a YouTube livestream on 2/3 at 19:00 JST (the stream will be live 15 minutes beforehand):

The single release date has been changed to 9th of March (1 week later) and the senbatsu has been announced

Asai Yuka, Inoue Ruka, Ego Yuna, Oba Mina, Kamata Natsuki, Kitagawa Yoshino, Kumazaki Haruka, Sato Kaho, Suenaga Oka, Sugawara Maya, Suda Akari, Takamata Yuki, Nomura Miyo, Hayashi Mirei, Hidaka Yuzuki, Furuhata Nao, Sakamoto Marin (1st senbatsu), Hirano Momona (1st senbatsu)

A-side title "Kokoro ni Flower" (心にFlower)

Choreography produced by akane, known for very bubbly and active choreographies

Type A song: "生まれ変わっても" (Umare Kawatte mo) - Oba Mina solo
Type B song: "じゃないロマンティック" (Janai Romantic) - "New Generation" unit, 26 members - Aoumi Hinano center
Type C song: "仲間よ" (Nakama yo) - "FC Gifu Senbatsu" unit - Ota Ayaka center - choreography by Saito Makiko
Theater edition song: "電線は消えても" (Densen wa Kiete mo) - "PrimaStellar" unit*

*The name of the unit in Japanese is プリマステラ and I felt like PrimaStellar makes the most sense as transcription, but may be something different

EDIT: I saw that the unit Prima Stella already exists.

 

Some infos updated in OP, I'm running out of time

Delaying it so to not overlap with sixtones release on 3/2 and maintain their #1 streak?

 

Usually in Katakana when they transcript a "rar" or "lar" they add "ー"
Prima stellar would be プリマステラー

Sugawara Maya and Sato Kaho are not in the MV

The one choreo almost all of Last Idol's songs? Not a fan of her work. Meh.

 

Glad Aoumi Hinano is centering a b-side, but I’m shocked she’s not in senbatsu…
I hope they aren’t half assing her push already

 

They should have replaced Hatagon & Kamata Natsuki by Aoumi Hinano & Anan
