I like the light "in cloud 9" feeling the chorus has. And the little chants at the beginning are cute. What falls for me are the verses. There's too much noise and the vocals are little dull so I spend most of my time wanting the chorus to come faster and last longer.

Kokoro no Placard first round results

Yamamoto Sayaka　18/20(1)
Kashiwagi Yuki　6/20
Matsui Rena　5/20
Watanabe Mayu　4/20(1)
Watanabe Miyuki　4/20
Kojima Haruna　0/20(1)
Miyawaki Sakura　0/20(1)

 

Does this mean AKB management has screwed up their pushes like NMB apparently did when the first results were out?

The song has grown on me. I really like it.

 

Spoiler

I like it so much that I made a cover of it...

[☆RisaReinaSayu☆]

^Aww, that's cute!

[lynx212]

I like it. Compared to KFC which took me a couple of listens before I really liked it, I immediately liked this song.

[nimm99jd]

It sounds like KS Fortune Cookie and Nyan Cat had a baby and named it Kokoro No Placard. They seem to be recycling the 70's theme, from the first Saturday Night Fever-esque finger pointing, Sashi and her giant hat (at least in the live version anyway), to the recycled dance moves from KFC... And then there's the "ba ya ya ya yaa" parts...no comment... Overall the song sounds rushed, likely they were feeling the pressure to top KFC. AKB has put out so many quality songs, it's actually pretty impressive that they keep producing good songs every few months. This time, I think they let the eien pressure get to them, pun intended.

I like the song, but it's B-side material.  AKB used to have great music, but everything has been going downhill lately for me (esp since they keep reusing stages.) Every single coupling track has been a bore for me, and I no longer care about releases or even AKB related news in general.  Any news on the cover art?

And MV. Koisuru Fortune Cookie 2.0...

 

The outfits are different. I like those; pretty colors as well.

 

[Kuleboy]

for me the song is not good or not bad

KFC is still better i think.. 

 

but the costume outfit, i like it

those colors are nice 

AKB always made nice costume

[sidhme]

I like the song. Catchy, simple and raises your spirit a bit. Like a pop song is supposed to be.

And I think it matches having Mayuyu as center too.

 

The MV looks like a rehash of KFC with different costumes... but it's colourful and cheerful.

Besides, there's not that much difference between their past videos except for a few that might stand out (which can be said for at least 90% of pop/rock artists as well)

All in all, I think it's good.

 

 

But the covers... I'd better refrain from commenting too much, except to quote mr. Kurtz in "Heart of Darkness": "The horror! The horror!"

[AragonDx]

Wow, the MV

Mayu looks so cute there (and yay sakuratan!)

 

I still don't really like the song, though.

 

And the cover... maybe the better one is the theater version

[msmairtan]

I like the song. But PV = BLAH. It's so similar to Koisuru Fortune Cookie, I almost didn't click it cause I thought it was yet another KFC video that management really love to upload on the AKB channel.

[JennyInTokyo]

I'm starting to like the song more now.

[the rose garden]

I cannot bring myself to care for this song and the whole "dance along" thing is coming across very forced. I'm just going to start looking forward to the Fall single...

[Krusha]

They're just repeating what they had success with before, that of KFC. Personally I wish they would've done something different.

 

It's funny though, Mayuyu won and people talked about a Mayuyu original PV and whatnot, but at the end of the day what we've gotten is pretty much "Sasshii's PV ver.2" Not that there's anything wrong with that mind you, it's a good PV, and this isn't a bad PV either, but it's very obvious what it is, so the impact is quite lower for me than that of KFC as a whole.

 

I just REALLY really want something original both song and PV wise, I don't have big demands, but just something a little unexpected. That's all...

[gryzze]

I don't understand what they're thinking. You can't just copy success like that. Many factors came together to make KFC a success and in the end it was ordinary people that made it possible.
I'll be really surprised if we see something like that happening again with the same concept. I don't really like the song much either, I think Labrador Retriever was better.

[JennyInTokyo]

I can understand why they wanted to repeat a successful idea like they did with KFC PV wise but it sometimes shoots you in the foot. It makes you wonder whether AKB48 is losing its originality a little bit. I'm not saying they're a bad group, I love the group but no release has blown me away since UZA. I love KFC now but it took me months to finally fall in love with it.
