Sounds like they were singing live also!!!

Quite true! The song is good, although a certain part of the chorus has been copied+pasted form "Cinderella wa damasarenai" (last song on K2; by the way, pity this awesome song has not been performed in ages)

Blue Rose (DiVA version)!

Thumbs DOWN!

[Masuku]

Blue Rose does feels slow-tempo and less powerfull than the original. This is OK song to listen to, but I do prefer the original over this one. Shame.

^It's hard to top the original.

True, some things best remain unchanged, but then with the A side being the best song to ever come out of the AKB Universe (ok, well, maybe not the best, but it certainly turns the awesome up to 11) we probably can't expect all too much from the B sides, there has to be a little flaw somewhere after all.

I seriously thought I imagined this! I knew it was scarily similar to Cinderella... but I thought that was just my careful ears

[Snapple]

^ I agree with the thumbs down on the jazz version and the weird copy of Cinderella! I found myself singing along with Cinderella's lyrics as I listened to the instrumental version!

Type A sold 17,935

As a matter of fact, I got myself a copy of type A and I find it hard to believe it sold so well, given that, in my very humble opinion, this release is by far the least interesting single ever in the (usually) glorious history of ***48.

Anyway, I believe that most of you have already listened to the coupling "Fade out". Not great, still, better than the title track...

If not, get it here!

Wrapping things up, here is a scan from the insert:



Sorry for the bitter comments. I found this release to be a big disappointment

[Nao-kun]

Personally I love the A side, biggest disappointment was what they did to Blue Rose, but then thats all just a matter of personal taste, the world would be pretty boring if we'd all agree all the time

[pastil]

To me there was nothing disappointing... I liked their version of Blue rose, but it's not even nearly on the same level as the original.

Still waiting for my copy to arrive since I ordered it quite late.

Holy smokes the covers look good. The hairstyle Yuka has on other covers than type B is freakin' awesome. Ahh I hope I can afford the CD+DVD editions. :F

[dev-null]

2. Introduction to Audition

I wonder if that's it what I think it is and why that's a DVD extra? I thought they simply forgot about those extra members by now. Seems not.

[pastil]

Bigger covers of the CD+DVD editions.
The green outfits.

[Mei.ka~]

^YAY! Thank youzzz~!

I'm not a big fan of Sayaka's full bangs, but at least she rocks the outfits that she's wearing!
Yuka on all of those covers looks really mature and older than her age. But I like it!
Daaaang, Sae's lookin' goooood on all of those covers! No complaints here.
Saving the best look for last...AYAKA!!! For me, the best looking one on all of those covers! Especially on that last cover! AWESOME!

[Alienpyon]

Bottom cover, Ayaka's photo, unbeatable!
