Yeah I really don't know about those costumes. The color scheme reminds me of a southeast Asian country's flag, and the form itself doesn't look too appealing. Let's hope the music more than makes up for it.

 

NMB is supposed to go on tour to the Miyagi prefecture on the 24th, so I guess it makes sense to make room for two days in, two days out so that the NMB members can focus on their tour. Not saying that that's the sole reason the shooting was pushed back though.

The rumours that things would be ondo influenced and different from the ordinary were greatly overexaggerated. Not saying that it will turn out boring or crap but something more experimental would be nice.

Here is a fan recording from the PV shoot:

So I wonder what lasting impression this a-side will imprint in our brains?

Iiwake Maybe - The outfits.

Heavy Rotation - THE AKB-song with a PV that made lovers love and haters hate.

Flying Get - Flying Hong Kong kung-fu fighting

Gingham Check - That PV production was expensive and the biker/diner outfits were awesome

 

I'm not impressed with the outfits so far, that is all I can say really. This only seems to be the opening of the PV and some dance shots though so it will be much more to see and experience. 

 

See some Yokoyamamoto love in that 4th picture

The 2nd shooting is not in Fukuoka so maybe there are two locations in the PV or this is for a coupling song.

Well, they generally have more than one costume in the pvs anyways. Those costumes look like they're for dance shots, or sort of marching band related.

_{cheerleading costume... that is what came to my mind.}

ehm, didn't know Rena Matsui doesn't eat meat.

[Pado10]

Rena is pretty famous for not liking meat aside from liking melonpan and spicy food . This episode part of Shukan AKB covers it very nicely: http://www.dailymoti..._fun&start=1073

The title of the single will be "Koisuru Fortune Cookie" (恋するフォーチュンクッキー).

It was officially announced on AKB Eizou Center tonight.

So much for Ondo. lol

 

Even the co-host was somewhat disappointed.

[gryzze]

I was actually looking forward to that ondo

It doesn't seem to me that this song was written for Sasshi either.

I loved the Banzai Venus PV and this seems to be something very similar, that is nice and good.

I see nothing wrong with the costume, far better than the GC costumes last year.

Looks like there is not much secrecy about the PV shooting this time.

One needs to clarify that "not liking meat" doesn't mean she's a vegetarian or such (as one usually would assume), she simply doesn't like meat (the taste of or such ). She's like me in this regard.

[vutt]

I have to admit that those are one of the ugliest official single outfits over recent years indeed.

[LovelyPrincessP]

The title.

 

The symmetrical primary colored outfits that practically scream Warota7.

 

Sasshi... in pigtails? 

 

Yep, this single was totally designed for Mayuyu. They really thought she'd win this year. lmao 

 

Like what I'm seeing so far though. 

[gryzze]

Pigtails?

[LovelyPrincessP]

Hnnh, they looked like pigtails when she was in the crowd. It's the way her hair is styled curly and over the shoulder in two parts. My fail. ;P

[Blu-Cherri]

Wah, I think the costumes are super cute! I think PV is looking to be really awesome :3

Btw, the sound recording linked, the sound played for the filming was only a demo

It doesn't seem to me that this song was written for Sasshi either.

 

And it didn't seem like Akimoto particularly cared either, compared to the time when Shinoda and Shimazaki won their janken tournaments and got their own personally-themed songs.

 

Bogus I tell you.

[gryzze]

He couldn't even keep his facts straight either. After the preliminary results he said he was already working on a Sasshi center song.
After she won he said he didn't know what kind of song he would make. Then last week he said he had thought about a song since last autumn lol

I think everything was already prepared for this song and Sasshi winning didn't change that.

[Tsurugi_Ken]

It's either he's been flat out lying or is actually getting too old and busy to remember (which shouldn't be the case). If he didn't really have time to do it, he should've just given it to Sashihara and Takahashi Minami to produce, as it would've actually made a lot of impact on the press, and would probably garner more interest from the public (either from the former fans that went off after their favorite girls' graduations, or people new people entirely, or both).

 

Akimoto should make other people be assistant producers so that he can actually focus on making stage songs and such, as he clearly can't handle the workload now compared to 4 years ago due to the sister groups.

[Erin.]

I think A) he's a troll, and B ) his workload is way too big. Your idea (Tsurugi_Ken) of having Sasshi and Takamina write/produce the song is excellent, and considering where the group and the girls are at in their careers, it would've made total sense to have them produce the song. A number of the girls can play instruments and/or can write lyrics, so I don't know why their abilities haven't been used to their full potential.
