Pre-order links are up:

... and, surprise-surprise, some are already down

Seems like one has to order faster than the speed of light to reserve his/her copy...


Edit: ooops, nope, the HMV links go to the previous single...

[Krusha]

Sorry, for whatever reason I put up 23rd single links instead of 24th. That is fixed now.

Looks like Team A is up to some activity

[Krusha]

Team A, K and B will each have their own song and PV for their respective single versions.

Team A, K and B will each have their own song and PV for their respective single versions.

So they already shot the PV of Team A song. The choreographer for this song is the one who did "Beginner", so I'm sure you guys would have a high expectation about it, hehehe

EDIT: I just had an idea. What if this song, Team A's b side, is like the RIVER/Beginner song of this year, except it's not an actual single a side, and it isn't released in October lol. But that hard hitting aggressive song of the year?

[Alienpyon]

^ Very high, indeed. We are expecting a bloodbath this time around.

[Yujin-chan]

who is the choreographer for Beginner?

[awesomecakes]

who is the choreographer for Beginner?

TETSUHARU.

He's done some choreo for other popular Jpop idols, though I can't name any off of of the top of my head besides Namie Amuro.

Team A's song and PV were the best for me last year and looks like they're going to own again this year.

Have to say, as excited as I am for the single (Mariko center, Team songs ) I'm really disappointed Team 4 didn't get a version. I know they aren't a *complete* team yet but I thought for sure they would. If they do get a song and it's the Theater B-side it really won't feel any different from when they were Team KKS.

[satchan]

I would've liked a Team 4 version as well if only to get a Team 4 video, but I don't know how much Team 4's current status plays into that. I won't be too upset if the theater version follows the same pattern, though I would hope if this becomes an annual thing they'll start releasing a Team 4 version next year.

Me personally, Team B's song and video were my favorites last year, so I'm going to bank on that being the case again this year in the version I buy. Though I won't rule out picking up Team A's version, but the only version of "Chance" I ultimately had any purchasing interest in was Team B's, so we'll just see how it goes.

I am SO happy that each team has their own version and stuff again! My favourite PV and song would have to be ALIVE. Daaaaayum, son, I mean DAAAAAAAYUM!!! Kurumi to Dialogue had a very good PV and song, too, but with a lot of Senbatsu members in Team A, it kinda bored me a bit watching it. And I didn't and still don't really like Love Jump. I tried to for Kitarie's sake, but I just can't. I hope their song and PV will be more mature this time around... Although I'm kind of doubting that because of their overall image.

[Noriega]

About the CM, rumors are going around about on what single will this song debut. Some ppl say the 24th single Team A song, which I believe, some say one of the Hana Gumi songs for the 23rd. Hmmm....




EDIT:.
CONFIRMED. THE SONG IN THE HP CM IS TEAM A SONG

Ooooooh, I really like Team A's song so far! The chorus reminded me of a TGS song, maybe Don't be cruel, but I'm not too sure. I found 0:45-0:49 and 0:53-0:56 kind of weird and unnatural, but cool and futuristic at the same time. However, I'm leaning more towards the weird and unnatural side, right now.

Is this posted already? The title will be Hashire Pengin (Run, penguin)

Sorry, false alarm

EH?!

[pastil]

I demand penguin outfits.

[Picky]

I just hope the song is better than Chance no Junban. :-p
