Quick management go back and retake the covers using whoever did hair and make for the PV.

Really starting to like this song and the way they sound together.

Boom!

I was already excited when I first heard about this unit but that PV clip, damn! The song is stuck in my head after the first listen. I guess this will be the first AKB related purchase then, this is too good to miss.

There's news (or rumors?) that they want to add another 6 members to DiVA: http://twitter.com/a...697852652945408

Huh?

[Violetbutterfly]

^ unfortunately they're true....what the hell

[mixedmedia]

If that's true then maybe some of the members from DIVA will be added to DiVA? Maybe like more of a backdancer role? Female EXILE?

Out of the DIVA members remaining, I'd like to see them add Amina, Nakayan, Shiichan, Nattsumii, Chikarina, Mocchi, and/or Tanamin (even though that's 7).

The main thing is there are more photoshoots/video like the ones they've been having but w/ more members?

Edit: just saw there were going to be auditions for 2nd gen. Not sure if this is wise to announce so early. They better not have those 4 graduate from AKB48 and "concentrate" on this unit only!!!! Team K would be ruined! Hope this is not the beginning of bad ideas leading to the decline of AKB48 etc.

Worst case scenario: Sayaka and Umeda are made to graduate from Team K to concentrate on DiVA (and other work or get transferred to SDN48) and no AKB48-related girls end up the 6 members (or girls in AKB, SKE, NMB who join graduate from their groups). The newcomers will probably get backlash for taking spotlight away from AKB girls who could have got it. The KKS who replace Sayaka, Umeda, etc. might face backlash for replacing popular members. Hope it works out somehow.

I doubt they will add Nacchi, Amina or others who aren't actually on office48, for the sole fact that sub groups tend to be girls belonging to same label.

Now, I would hope that they did this and also I would hope that they add girls already within the AKB/***48 fold. Anything else is annoying, to say the least. And graduations, I hope not...

[Snipey]

I don't really want them to add more members in, I think these ones are great. But if they were to do a sort of EXILE thing, then hopefully the 4 main girls will be the singers.

[mixedmedia]

True on the agency thing but seems to not make sense if they're going to add 6 outsiders. All 6 of the unknowns will be Office 48 but not AKB48 members? strange. But then again if they're just going to be backdancers, it'll be sort of like EXILE. A lot of times when I see outsider backdancers in the PVs, I wonder why they didn't just get some KKS or other AKB48 girls and now in a way, they are?

Just when Yuka and Umeda seemed to be coming out of the shadows, someone thinks it's a good idea to add more people to potentially take away their spotlight!

Anyways, on a happier note Umechan gif !

[dkmy]

I hope the 6 new members they add are just dancers. Hopefully trained dancers.

Finally heard Blue Rose (DiVA version) and I hate it! It reminds me of cheesy smooth jazz or late '90's/early 2000's generic J-pop.

Anyone who loves the original can probably understand my disappointment.

[Krusha]

Well, that was kinda boring.

I love the vocals but hate the song. I really think they ruined this one.

Music Japan performance for those who can't (or have to wait a long time to) use the tracker!

Sounds like they were singing live also!!!
