yaayyyy~~~ four of my oshi's are in senbatsu~ ( finally, MIORIN! )

i'm glad mocchi's in too! great selection!

[gryzze]

One small correction. The last four of Team 4 should be Team kenkyuusei.

A 36 member senbatsu I wonder how that will work.
It will be interesting to see what the media senbatsu will look like.

Is this the single that will have the sousenkyo voting tickets or is that later?

EDIT: My mistake!! The last four just joined Team 4!

[Mei.ka~]

Huge Senbatsu! And I thought EbiKachu's was big.

Hehe, I really thought that single was going to be about barettes this time around, if you know what I mean.

[dev-null]

This senbatsu covers every team, huh?

[chuxnon]

yep, every team except for all groups KKS, seeing as kawaei, takahashi, kato and iwata were promoted to team 4.
i think that's cool, especially if this will be the election single - the sister group fans have more reasons to buy it 0/

[hitoyou]

Yay for new single... and what a huge senbatsu they came up with

at the title of the song.


This senbatsu is very interesting and lots of fun to read!

First of all:
SHIMADA HARUKA

...so no lets continue

Team 4 girls are being pushed big time. Feels like they are promoting the future of AKB with this senbatus. Takeuchi and Takahashi are both there but no Oba... and I would have loved to see Nagao in that list...seriously would have loved that.

NMB brings queen Yamamoto and Milky and that was not of any surprise at all but... Jo This I like. Anyways... Nana would have been so nice to see in this one, but this is AKB after all.

Five SKE girls are two too many, just my honest opinion... but still, they are all quite excellent.

HKT Kodama Haruka the obvious choice and of course a very good choice.

Team A-K-B senbatsu brings no surprises but every single one of them should be there... five SKE girls...

Anyways...

TEAM 4 going to rock the world with excellence!


hmmm... BINGO, choreography and costumes, was the first thing that popped up in my head.

[Krusha]

Promoting Team 4 is smart, and likewise so the girls who are research students. There is a future to be considered, and it's very important to make people take notice of girls who aren't Tomochin, Mariko, etc.

Plus, 9th gen to 12th gen girls have a lot of talent in various arenas to show off, so it's well worth getting into them.

[sayurinon]

Even though I'm not that big of a fan of AKB, I LOVE Miorin so I'm excited to see this single

[熊⋆ｉｃｈａｐｙｏｎ×]

OMG RICCHAN PROMOTION! I'M GONNA DIE~~~ YAYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Krusha]

Ricchan was the rs girl I most wanted to see promoted

[hitoyou]

So... They already performed Manatsu no Sounds Good Did not know that.
Should check out other sites more frequently

Since it is already up and going... any details about the song? TokyoHive writes Uptempo and colourful but that is kind of a vague description.

[goratnik]

I'm happy for team 4 being so mass-thrown here and satisfied for Yuria, she makes interesting SKE oshi candidate now

So many girls, wooot! I only wish they picked a better girl from HKT...

[HogwartsHokage]

Oh wow, can't wait to see Team 4 in this! It will take a while for me to get used to such a huge number of girls for senbatsu though...

[marikosuki]

Does anyone know when Manatsu no Sounds Good will be available for pre-order? I think I'll finally buy multiple versions of a single.

I wonder if this is Acchan's last single with AKB? I hope she continues doing solo work with Yasusu.

[Krusha]

I've been trying to refresh various sites for pre-order links, I expect tomorrow or later this week. But beware, the soon links appear, you need to pre-order limited version single if you want it. Because it will sell out.

[Snapple]

Too much Team 4 and not enough Team K!!! BLEH!

Of course I'll still buy it though. I'm a sucker and want at least one vote for Sayaka Akimoto in 2012 senbatsu.

[Krusha]

That Team 4 is prominent, I think is just strategical.

It's wise to promote all of the girls from the younger generations, preparing the group for the future, when some of the older generations will not be in the group anymore.

I agree with you of course, and I've always complained about the lack of some girls - and in particular felt annoyed with the inclusion of other groups, since it have left out "deserving girls" in my opinion. Of course just my thoughts...

But I am very glad Team 4 gets pushed. I like them a lot and I hope that some of them becomes a top 10 girl in the future. I don't like how there's so many girls in this lineup, as I think it'll be very hard to give everybody proper focus (then again I don't even know how song and PV will be ... )

[Erin.]

This'll sound pessimistic, but they rarely give every member proper focus, no matter what song/pv they are in. Like, you might see Mochi once or twice in a whole 4 minute pv, if it is the a-side pv. ><
Or maybe it'll be like Sakura no Shiori. How big was that senbatsu? It was every member at the time, right?

Also, does this single come with voting tickets?

In any case, I'm happy about all of team 4 being in it. They are a strong group of girls, and it's good that they get to start off being a copleted group in such a good way.
