Just watched the choreography video...

(River Sasshi only ver.)
(Oogoe Diamond)

I'm not sure if the River video only has the Sasshi version or if there are many other versions...

But Oogoe Diamond doesn't seem to have the main girls (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty new to AKB) and the girls on the side don't always fit the screen... I was a little disappointed I didn't see my favorite girls (Again, I may be wrong, but I'm sure I didn't see Miichan, and I wanted to follow her dance!)

I haven't seen the Iiwake Maybe one yet, so I don't know about that one.

I think I'm just too used to the HP dance shots because I expected the original dance shots with the main girls, and River to have had more people, not just one girl.

EDIT: Just searched it up, apparently the choreography videos have a solo version and group shot version. Each song has a different girl for the solo shot. River - Sasshi, Oogoe Diamond - Iwasa Misaki (Wasamin), Iiwake Maybe - Ami (I'm not sure about her full name)

I really want to open the album but this copy is a birthday gift for my friend...so....
My copy just dispatched from Japan yesterday, hope my sister will receive the package by Friday...^^

^The dance shots were probably recorded when the actual Oogoe girls were filming in Guam, so that's why they used non-senbatsu/lower senbatsu girls. I'm personally really happy for it, they picked great replacements (like, Natsumi, and Nakayan). There's two girls that I can't yet recognize due to YT quality, but they look like Komori (and if she is, then her dancing improved a LOT), and Mariya (though that could be just me). There's no new Team K girls in those dance shots aswell. It was definetly weird hearing Mai Mai's lines again .

And yeah, I was also dissapointed by the girls on the sides dissapearing, but I read on s48 that those same videos have different angles (left, right, above, etc.), just like Iroppoi Jirettai had, so I think we have to wait until we get to see the whole material.

And, I'm...kinda surprised by the promotion of the album. Hugeass buses and signs on Shibuya, right next to Ayu's, now that's proper album promotion.


I'm also IN LOVE with the rainbow starry paper the covers were printed!!

[Krusha]

From watching the video (which needs more wide angle...), I think these are the girls that are performing:

Aamin, Wasamin, Chiichan, Sasshii, Rabutan, Nakayan, Suuchan, Natsumii, Shiichan, Mocchi, Haachan, Komorin, Nacchi, Mariyannu, Chikariina, and Harukyan.

[keroandsuppy]

Wow, great sales. The promotion must have also helped too, those big signs


Does anyone know if for the choreography videos, the girls are wearing the same costumes as the members they are dancing for?

I really wanted to dance Miichan's part and there is indeed a member wearing the same hat she is wearing, and I saw the girl doing Takamina's part had a similar hairstyle (didn't check about the clothes...) Are they just wearing similar styles but not necessarily following that girl? I tried watching live videos to make sure, but unless shes one of the really front girls, they don't show her all the time, and with all the closeups it makes it impossible to really tell. From what I saw, I can't tell...

It's great they used the non-main girls here! An awesome chance to see them

[Amee.]

Great sales! I don't think we should be surprised... AKB48 are one of the best selling groups in Japan these days, full stop.
