General Information

Alternative CD Jackets

Oogoe Diamond is AKB48's 10th major single, 12th overall, and the 1st released under King Records. Oogoe Diamond was the first single to feature SKE48's Matsui Jurina, who was Center of this single.

The first press of the regular edition included an alternative member cover from any of the other 19 Senbatsu members. As it was the first King Records single, it was also the one to introduce Theater Editions and National Handshake Event Tickets included with the CD. This would go on to become a staple of 48 Group releases.

Oogoe Diamond is also a stage song for AKB48 Team A's 5th stage Renai Kinshi Jourei and SKE48 Team S's 1st stage PARTY ga Hajimaru yo.

• This is the last Senbatsu and single of Kawasaki Nozomi.
• This is the first time a solo cover is featured on an AKB48 and 48Group single release. For this single, both the regular and the theater editions covers are solo covers. These are Matsui Jurina's first solo covers.
• This is the first appearance of an SKE48 member (Matsui Jurina) in AKB48 Senbatsu.
• Following BINGO! and Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008, this was the 3rd time all the AKB48 members at the time appeared in a single's PV.
