Popular idol group, AKB48's representative song 'Heavy Rotation' (released in August 2010)'s Music Video, became the first Japanese music artist to overcome the 100 million views hurdle on video sharing site 'YouTube' slightly over noon on the 23rd. The Center for this song, Oshima Yuko remarks, “What should I say”.

Hebirote is the first song Oshima Yuko centered, after defeating then immovable ace, Maeda Atsuko during the 2nd General Elections; It is AKB48’s 17th single that was released on 18th of August 2010. Movie Director, Ninagawa Mika was in charge of photography and the Music Video’s direction. How members appeared in bewitching lingeries during the shoot was also a topic of discussion.

This MV that was uploaded on the group’s official YouTube channel on 8th of September 2010, took about 3 and a half year to record this feat. After NHK’s Kouhaku Uta Gassen held on New Year’s Eve last year, where Oshima announced her graduation from the group, views took a sharp rise, and managed to achieve this milestone before her graduation.

Oshima who achieved this feat remarked, “What should I say about this. In my entire life, I had never expected to be associated with the number, 100 million. How views were accumulated one by one till 100 million, makes Heavy Rotation’s shine even brighter. I am extremely happy. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the people that have played back this MV repeatedly. Thank you so much everybody.”

AKB48’s management that also runs their YouTube channel commented on their Google+ page saying, “Japan’s First”. As no Japanese Artist’s official MV had achieve this 100 million views milestone before, that makes this achievement all the more remarkable.
