You'll probably have to mention the part about the limited edition versions all being bought out, and the part about the theater edition being available for lottery / purchase in around 3 hours and 15 minutes (unless the site maintenance takes longer).

I don't know if this has even been mentioned on H!O yet, but the Limited Editions (which are currently sold out) come with a bonus mini-photobook by Ninagawa Mika. And she's directing the pv again too (she did the Heavy Rotation pv). So, this pv is gonna be amazing. I really love her aesthetic, and it works well with AKB's style.

Pics Mariko took from the PV shooting for the 31st single! These were taken some time ago. Senbatsu PV was filmed on March, 14th in Okinawa, also Senbatsu PV is directed by Ninagawa Mika!

Okinawa is nice, but Guam is the best for summer singles.

Auditioning...

I love MnSG a lot, and can't wait till the Release. Gingham Check wasn't that good IMO. even if it was Yukos Center Single...

Yes, the same. She also did another quite splendid contribution with Yobisute Fantasy PV. Freaking creepy video
-----
Lots of MnSG here right now... nice song with an interesting PV that got a little too interesting and I'm still waiting for the real full version. But that was a long time ago and now time for a new beach-single.
By the looks of the pictures it seems like it will be lots of colours in it and I approve. Can't wait to find out how they will use the balloons on the beach
Everyone seems to expect a huge senbatsu this time too, right.
The song... something faster like Everyday Katchuusha would be great.

These summer singles are tough on my ears. 
For every 48 group.
Except "Ponytail to Shushu," which is a classic.
Hoping for an awesome song, but if not, well, "Manatsu no Sounds Good!" had two of my favorite AKB songs last year with "Choudai, Darling!" and "Gugutasu no Sora," and their awesome videos, so I'd like if they went that route. I want them to take a break from the whole team songs things for this single. I'd like to see them mix that up a little. Also, not make the senbatsu 35 members, but we'll see how that goes..

I hope she manages to have a more fair sharing of screen time between all of the girls this time then. Would be a real shame to have another one of those lame PVs for great songs which only show the Top 8 girls.the director is same with director of heavy rotation, right?

Spoiler
Even though the Heavy Rotation PV was a bit much this woman is a very creative person so I'm expecting a lot I was kind of hoping AKB would release something different than what they usually do but I'm actually really looking forward to it

They changed the HS thingy a bit with 20 slots instead of 18 and more days with interesting results on sold out slots for the first day:
Oshima Yuko........15/20 (5)
Watanabe Miyuki...5/20 (5)
Matsui Rena..........1/20 (5)
Guess the (5) are almost sold out.
I know 1st day sales are a little bit special but I get the feeling that sister-group fans are spending their money on their own local HS events nowadays. But anyways... Milky you little HS devil
-----------------
Ninagawa likes those flowers and that Takamina picture gives me a bit of a Heavy Rotation flashback.
Just going over the top and points out that flowery bikini picture resembles one of her art pieces in this clip. Similar scene in the Pv?

The thing that caught the eye quite immidietly were the two versions of the Sayonara Crawl music video. What is up with the swimwear ver.? Is is just another name for a dance shot or will the main PV actually be something different. Well, the preview should be out in just a few days anyways... or maybe just a CM preview of the song to begin with at least.
Crawl as in the water or on the ground

Probably has something to do with swimming freestyle if there's a swimsuit version. I think they're going with the same formula last year, with something similar to Manatsu no Sounds Good etc.
This leads me to wonder though if NMB's actually going to get a single at all for that month though, as they would've already gotten one announced even before AKB's 31st single got a press release. Oh well, good idea I guess so that there's an interval for 48 group fans to save up more money before spending again.
