Seems not all the MM'18 members are excited about the single XDOnly 3 (Ayumin, Sakura, Haachin) out of 10 posted blogs tonight had mentioned the single

I'm so disappointed.. Both songs are really meh to me but still I hope we'll get more focus on Haachin in the MVs

^If they really are using those outfits, then they need to fire whoever designs their costumes, because that's about as far away in concept to the song as you can get.
Not really. I haven’t seen any English translations yet for the entire song, but I do know that Sakura’s solo line translates as “Ah, my make up just won’t stay on”. To me that kind of line doesn’t exactly go with a fancy flashy costume and is suited more to everyday clothes. You neve know, they might have another set of costumes for parts of the MV like they’ve done with some previous A-side songs

English translation of A-Gonna was posted earlier.

Thanks for the link Looking at the lyrics in full it does seem like the kind of song that everyday outfits would suit best along with maybe some more fancier matching outfits for the dance shots for the MV. We’ve only heard the live versions of both songs so far. The studio versions and the MVs might end up being better than expected and win people over

Just a speculation... what if the outfits are not for A gonna but for Are you happy?

It's a possibility, but since Fuku/Saku are center of the first row, i think they're for A Gonna... And it might be stupid, but i want to believe if it was for Are You Happy, Haachin would be center or the first row or at least with the whole 12th gen

Several of the members (possibly all of them) seem to have a letter A somewhere on their outfit
I don't think it really fit a cool EDM song like Are You Happy. The 3rd a side is a possibility, but the a on some of the girls'outfits + FukuSaku center on the first row scream A Gonna to me. And i think those outfits work with the hip-hop/EDM vibe of the song. Remind me of the Jealousy Jealousy outfits.

Disappointed that we don't get to look forward to a new song, but I like both songs so I'm still happy. It'd be nice if we got a B-side that was Haachin-heavy but I doubt it. I think Are You Happy is a good last song though (I'm pretty sure she has that recurring speaking line, right?). It feels like a graduation song in the same way the "Kimi Sae" had that Graduation feel to it for Reina, something in the composition made it a little intense in my opinion and that shows in this song as well. Excited to see what they're gonna do for the MVs tho. They will probably give Haachin a decent amount of spotlight in Are You Happy.

Thanks, I hate it.
This single is probably the worst single since Chokkan 2.

A Gonna kinda sucks, but I like Are you happy?. I add my voice to the opinions that this is a slap in the face to Haachin. Sure, she wasn't a favorite for fans, but she and every girl in the group deserve to get something that conmemorates their tenure in the group, no matter if they were favorites or not. After all, part of popularity is due to management who decides who gets pushed in our faces and who doesn't.

I love A gonna too. I think the song is quirky. And if Haachin is happy with A gonna and she considers the song as 'a song about her', what are we complaining about here?

At the bold part, QFT!
And also, we shouldn't compare recent graduation singles to yesteryear's. I believe ever since Ai-chan's graduation single, every graduating member has either got a solo song or the graduating member is featured heavily on the main a-side of the single (with the exception Aika but we know her situation was unique).
Now for Haachin's graduation single, which I agree is quite rush, but I believe the management has been made aware of the plans that there is a possibility she may graduate, so I don't see why they couldn't at the very least make this a triple a-side single, with one that Haachin is featured heavily as the front girl. A single like Kanon's last one would have been nice. Why are they not milking her graduation is something that I don't understand. And it's the first physical single for MM in 2018, why not do a triple a-side single?
I think the only saving point at this part is to have a b-side that is dedicated to her and have her as the visual centre for the MV of "Are You Happy?". I am quite sure she will be the centre girl in the single covers.

i dont think its a rushed single, their latest release was on October from last year, that makes a 8 month lap between the 2 singles.
and i REALLY hope UFA doesnt plan to release just one single this year sometimes i feel like they are trying to push MM away, and make ANGERME their main group lol

i think thats why they slowing down MM single this year... 2 single this year it seem..
if they force to release 3 single this year with all of them triple A it would need too much time to produce..
3 triple-A single 2 album, how can they focus with other group and airi?? uf is not big enough to handle all of this anyway
MM still the most getting push currently i think ... u can count all their work

For real...? I'm so far removed from any hype for this single. I've listened to these two songs several times already, and I can't hum either melody or tell you about either song in any specifics. They're both just so generic.
Oga's graduation is obviously a sidepiece since she hasn't been around long enough to have gravitational pull.... but not even that can save this single from being the most abysmally hype-less single in years.
