AKB48's 28th single has been announced in the Tokyo Dome concert event!

http://tower.jp/arti.../2012/08/24/n07

The single will come in 6 versions: 3 Regular, 3 Limited.

All single versions will come with Request Hour Set List Best 100 voting tickets, and limited versions will come with handshake tickets.

The single will follow in the tradition of RIVER, Beginner, and Kaze wa Fuiteiru - and "Kakkoii" ("Cool") implies a connection to a similar image.
Just like RIVER, Beginner, and Kaze wa Fuiteiru pushed AKB48's image and musical sound, this single aims to do the same.

Where to buy?

It's funny, I was just thinking of the word "kakkoii" yesterday and now it's the name of their single. I hope it lives up to it's name.

Can't wait for this! I've always liked their "kakkoii" songs, so I hope this year is good as well... :D

That time of the year brings expectaions to such high levels, it's ridiculous :o

Aitakatta
Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?
Oogoe Diamond
RIVER
Beginner
Kaze wa Fuiteiru

Although the three first songs maybe aren't the coolest songs in history... all songs are very high standard :D

Something named Kakkoii can't be alowed to be anything but very cool.

Something like "Beginner" deserves the title of "Kakkoii". I hope it sounds just like that song. No matter how much I like "Kaze we fuiteiru", it is far from "kakkoii" in the above sense, in my opinion. I prefer heavy, sharp beats and attitude. Please deliver!

i thought the article just says the type of the song is "kakkoii" again, like river, beginner and kazefui in the years before have been "kakkoii"?
just like sakura song, summer song, election song, then there's kakkoii and janken. :'0

Yes, you're right. I was just too quick about it and didn't notice.

Sorry about that :)

Three versions to offset the loss of Acchan? LOL...Aki-P must be feeling a major drop in sales already. Hope the song is cool enough to allay all fears.

Yeah, the first time was with Chance no Junban and that broke the 1M streak which should have started with Beginner and then with Ue Kara Mariko. Both doesn't have the pull of a regular AKB48 release.

Ue kara Mariko sold over 1.3M copies. It is a regular AKB48 release, because that's what it is, and it sold over 1.3M copies. That's quite much pull if you ask me.

If it's like River and Begginer, it would be a success for sure. Also, Nico and Youtube dancers love to dance that kind of songs from AKB ^^

I think RIVER, Beginner, and Kaze wa Fuiteiru can be call cool songs ..
because these songs are not very idol in nature ..

Is it coincidence ... that's this three songs has very little crowd response on it ..
The mix cannot be done on these song and there is no name shouting ..

these song are nice to listen and watch ..
but not really that exciting in term of crowd participation .. so its not very idol kind of songs ... :P

True that they don't leave many openings for mix etc... but who needs that with songs like these. Fans found a nice way to participate in RIVER anyways, in the beginning and end at least.



So, about the senbatsu for this song... we shouldn't expect any major upsets this time either, right, or a huge lineup like the one for Manatsu.

Is it going to be two girls from NMB this time?
HKT already got Sasshii so no go for more than one.

:D and now it comes to mind that someone else is going to stand as center for this one :D
That should be considered as something surprising and daring... or maybe not.

They could do a slightly different senbatsu (like, bigger), just to keep with the trend. It probably depends on the song/concept.
I'd say for sure Sayanee and Milky will be in it, just like Jurina and Rena will be in it. And I wouldn't count out any other NMB, SKE, or HKT girls, for that matter. Paruru will likely be there, and possibly another former Team 4 girl, or Tomu or Karou. I'm wondering if Akicha will still be there, though. It'd be nice if Amina and Akimoto Sayaka were included, but I doubt it.
As for center, I'm almost 100% certain it'll be Mayuyu. Maybe they'll even have a cyborg theme. :lol:

Yeah, with more versions than a regular Senbtsu single.
