Unless I'm wrong, tracklist is still tbc. So, there's still a chance we'll get a b-side (but don't hold your breath)

 

I hope we get a preview soon

[Kumi-chan]

^ yep, thought the same. Hope for a miracle.

 

 

The release is in a very long time so I don't think we'll get any MV preview before mid-october at best but maybe a short radio ver will be available soon. They may perform the other A-side during the Taipei and Shanghai shows too.

Title is definitely now "Teka HAPPY no HAPPY! / Watashi no Lamentazione"

Not expecting much. I can't wait to see how the sales will do for this single, especially Kitario is back. 

[jeffy cue]

based on the title "Watashi no Lamentazione," KitaRio might center this. hahahaha!

I miss her, although i cant shake the feeling off that this release will have negative backlash... fingers-crossed that I'm wrong.

[megumibex]

I think it definitely will. If there's something to hate on, haters will always take the chance. What's still up in the air is whether the management can provide enough good things to distract from the negativity. If 90% of the discussion is how incredible the songs or MVs are, the 10% Kitario hate will seem like nothing (to everyone except probably Kitario). 

[tadase]

It looked like they did not even spend much for the milestone 75th single so I guess the 76th is where they will pour all the budget in lmao

[ulises]

.. how incredible the songs or MVs are

 

[stereo]

I think the MV for Ki ni naru was very cool and great. Second A side MV was not so great for sure

[Mr. Take It Easy]

You guys don’t seem to see the bigger picture since this is a double A-Side.

If each one of them will get a center song for her graduation that will be awesome.
How is Teka HAPPY no HAPPY? Did someone here was at one of the concerts and heared?

I was there! It's a silly, bright and fun song in the vein of the last single. The chorus is catchy, the dance quite silly (reminded me of Guruguru Jump) with a few wasshois thrown in there. The verses I would need a few more listens, they are a little repititious and monotone in melody, which is typical Tsunku I suppose. There is one part where they just sing "ok ok" with an suddenly empty expression, which adds to the hilarity of it.
Unfortunately I don't remember anything about line distribution or spotlight (given that it's the 2nd song in the setlist and the whole concert follows after). At least there was no definitive center that stuck out to me.
Personally, I found it weaker than the previous single's songs but it might be a grower for all I know! With the chorus being easy to follow it was a lot of fun at the concert at least ^^

From this alone we can only hope the other A-side is a double center grad song. No solo spotlight for either of them.
Did Yokoyan ever SOLO-center an A-side? Kaede had, 3 times. They both centered BNM.
and well I don’t even have to ask about poor Akane.
I could care less about Rio at this point.

OMG - you're right!

SO my guess - double grad center song. Only choice. And I don't think Yokoyan ever solo centered a song

[Mr. Take It Easy]

Yup. I don’t recall her centering anything.
Kaede technically got less but when she got her time to shine she truly got it. Spectacular grad single, totally centered by her.
I really feel for both of them, what a wasted opportunity, specially for Akane.

Out of the current bunch who has centered?

Oda - starting with Help me! many more in colorful era, brand new era, and never ending era. Nothing under Ikuta’s leadership.

Miki - Saikiyou. Wake up call (w)
Maria - Are you happy? That was her last one right?
Akane - Nothing

Reina - Brand New Morning (w)

Mei - Lovepedia (w). Akaruku ii ko.
Homare - Can’t recall
Rio K. - Wake up call (w). Lovepedia (w).

Rio S. - Nothing yet. She shadow-centered Saikiyou and Nandaka though.

Ako and Haruka - Nothing yet. Ako mini shadow-centered las single, both songs.

[megumibex]

I don't know about all of them, because I fell off the wagon big time around 2019-2023. But Miki was cited as Wcenter with Riho for one & only (it's not obvious from the music video, but they are in the center position for most of the dance, and have prominent duo lines, but no solos). I could also make the argument for Dokyuu go sign and Jealousy Jealousy being potential Miki centres, though I think that's more debatable. And Maria had Sou janai. 

[tadase]

To add:

• List is very incomplete. Miki also centered the best '15 song with Maa, Ima Sugu Tobikomu Yuuki. How dare people forget the best '15 song with the MaaChel center. 
• One and Only was a Chel center because it's in English. Her voice trumps everyone there
• Maria also had a song built for her, Sou Janai. Tsunku said that the management requested a Maria-centered song and that is what was approved.
• Lovepedia is literally a 15ki-centered single, so please don't take out Homare there.
• The other '20 A-side, Ningen Kankei No Way Way, imo was a 5-way between Miki, Maria, Akane, Kaedii, and Yokoyan. They clearly focused on the five of them in that song. That whole single was the most balanced Morning Musume released in terms of the center distribution/focus among everyone with different centers in each songs (Kokoro and Karada had the Mizuki/Sakura/Maa trio lead).

[Kimagure Princess]

I think a Yokoyan/Akane song can be super awesome, too bad we probably won't get it. They both have different kinds of cute voices

I really wait for the MVs, and to see if Rio is really participating in this. Did they announce when the MVs will be released?

[tadase]

Rio is definitely participating in this single as it was announced through her extended hiatus. The MVs should be out starting late next month.

lol Homare wasn’t even close to have the same prominence as Rio and Mei. I was even actually being nice to Rio by including her as W/Center.

For Ningen Kankei, there is no such thing as 5-way center smh, Kaede centered that, she was in that center position and had that prominence in the MV that the other 4 member didn’t have. In audition, no MM with can deny that song is Kaede’s signature song. Did we watch the same MV/ Live performances?

Probably not because you missed a lot from your list anyway, so go on, you do you

[TheAnna18]

Well I'm really excited to hear the new songs, regardless of who centers. I never pay attention to who does anyhow lol

Hoping for something cool like the Elegies song, even though Tsunku said it's not like an "elegy" haha

[megumibex]

I hope they bring the melodrama for the second song
