Media senbatsu in undecided, but we can pretty much guess who will be included lol. 

Surprisingly, no Shibuya Nagisa, Kitagawa Ryoha, Kato Minami, or Tashima Meru

 

It seems to have been confirmed on 2ch, twitter and s48, but i'm still looking for an official announcement for it.

yeah, now it's better to be in sister groups than in AKB lol

[RenaiHunter]

Miorin scores 2nd senbatsu! Im so mad of the centers tbh. I WANT MAYU CENTER! Or AKB center at least... it wasn't necessary to put 2 sister group aces as centers for a single that will sell regardless.

[Krusha]

Oh look, how exciting. Jurina is center. And Sakura. Wow. So exciting. Great job Akimoto. Well done. Fantastic effort there.

 

Honestly, Sakura is one of the most lackluster center girls or front girls of anything I can think of in years. She's like cardboard. So boring it's just sad.

 

Anyways, Naachan is in, Sayaya is in, Miion is in, and Satopii has her senbatsu debut (which is pretty cool). Still no Yuirii (or Seichan). And the amount of sister group girls is too high. Again.

[conanidol]

OdaEri!! 

 

I would have liked more a Mion center but I'm okay with Sakura/Jurina.

 

It kinda bothers me that every SG has 5 representatives while NGT only has 2, but in general, I like this Senbatsu.

[Ares13]

er .. sorry ..
I think the sister group thing has been going on too long .. it is now older than old .. its prehistoric
the horse is die so long that its gone and you are beating the air hoping to hit a particle of the horse ..

I also do not subscribe to changes in center in hope for something refreshing or exciting ..
To me .. center position of a main 48G single should not be something to drum interest ..
It should be a showcase of the most recognized or achieved members ..

I think Jurina and Sakura is a good choice as they are the ones to watch for this coming SSK ..
I am actually more disagreeable about last year when Mion get center ..
Basically .. she has not been around long enough, she have not achieve enough ..
I think her center selection basically destroy the hopes of all members that can keep up with her within her range of generation and some just gave up ..

As a fan .. I am happy that my 48G kami oshi, Lala is in senbatsu ..
Its 35 members .. less members compare to the other SSK single but its still a lot ..lol
I am surprise but glad because Lala has been quite emo recently for her lack of achievement and success ..
the most recent being that her rant about failing to make the final round of voting for the SKE48 mobile when she was within rank during the preliminary round ..

Very honestly .. I hope they bring back the bikini single for this one ..
hey.. the SSK will be held in Okinawa .. so it should be good that they have a nice MV in Okinawa

[Krusha]

Rara is a victim of the 48G hype-machine. In other words, she received an early push from management, and not just that, but an extremely strong push, that just doesn't correspond with reality. She's not as popular as management wants her to be. And then when Rara looks at everything she's gotten and done so far, and contrasts it with her actual popularity, there's a significant disconnect. So of course she wonders why she doesn't have more.

 

But, management will continue to push her, because they want her to be popular. They will do so until there's a replacement for her, which they then will push in the same manner, after they've dropped Rara. Or until she actually becomes popular. This is how it's always been with these groups. 

[pink-ku]

English speaking members somehow are not popular with Japanese fans. That is the case with Rara, Hillary, Nozawa.

We will see if it will continue on with CUCA of STU48.

 

Edit: Added Nozawa

[Krusha]

pink-ku, 

 

You also forgot Renachan, and Riona of Team 8.

 

Now, whether this is just a coincidence or that there are other factors involved in why they may not be as popular as other girls, it's pretty clear that yes, English lessons is not popular. So I think Rara is doing herself a disservice with the English lessons on her SHOWROOM. It's just not gonna help her. These English lessons are fun for foreign fans, but they do next to nothing for Japanese fans.

[RenaiHunter]

Rara said something about this ssk being her last chance or something. Some fans speculate she will graduate if she doesn't rank or she will get dropped off senbatsu.
Her handshake numbers have been somewhat increasing, but not really good so far.

Also the title song is the choir song so I doubt it will be a bikini single.

[Lurkette]

The issue with English-speaking is the same issue that all multi-cultural individuals have in that they are constantly trying to prove that they are "enough" of one nationality or another. While not all of the members in question are truly multi-cultural, they just have international interests, Japan's insularity and resulting nationalism leads to this being received negatively. The members who speak English are either "not Japanese enough" or they are "trying to be foreigners," and although this is obviously very backwards thinking and everyone involved is affected negatively, it's the reality for most idols and it's not even necessarily limited to Japan, either. Unfortunately I don't think it will change any time soon, and it's unrealistic to expect girls who are multi-national or who have an interest in these things to try to complete obscure those parts of themselves for the sake of a few dozen xenophobes who might pay attention to her more if she did.

 

That said I'm going to vote for Yuriya yay.

[Ares13]

I do not think the problem with Lala is about English ..
I think she is not comfortable with fans and do not know how to connect with fans ..
She does not know how to cherish every opportunity with her fans ..
Simply she don't trust her fans .. and for that she will fail ..
That is how I feel about her .. I hope she have change but I doubt it ..

So why is she still my Kami oshi for 48G?
simply because I believe in her ..

[minaeshi]

To be honest, since it's a large senbatsu, 19 AKB - 17 SG isn't too horrible. Though I would have preferred to see 3 max sister group members from each group, this is the one single where I'm fine with there being lots of SG members because its the ballot single. Other than the ballot and actual election singles, i don't think sister group members should be included so much. So if the ratio of AKB to SG members in the 50th single is similar to what we're seeing now (which it probably will be), then i'll complain lol.

[MocchiMooch]

......for real? So far, I hate everything about this single.

 

Apparently the song is gonna be a choral type of song? So you pick two sister group girls who happen to NOT be good singers to center it? Ok. Makes so much sense.

 

Wake me up when the b-side previews are uploaded lol.

[☆RisaReinaSayu☆]

The Senbatsu size is well suited for a choir song. I'm hoping they dress the girls in yukatas for the PV. More tasteful than bikinis or swimsuits in general, but still fitting for a summer release. As for the centers, it feels like it doesn't matter who centers this as the choreography will likely consist of hand movements and nothing else.

[arden]

Hehehe. I only happen to comment that center is getting out of hand due to the fact that this is the first (maybe) management selected center where both are "non-akb". For me oogoe is acchan/jurina center, lol. Kimi wa Melody was sakura, but the kami7 "overshadowed" it for me. Other than that, centers are akb or akb-shared.

But i read somewhere before this post that "it makes sense" since this is a ballot single. Presence to all 48G is needed. Im just hoping this song would be memorable.

[ShiningLight445]

I have a weird gut feeling that this will be a double A side single instead and they are just bringing up all the hype for it by announcing the choir song first lol

[MocchiMooch]

 

This song has me stunned. I LOVE IT. I wasn't expecting it at all, especially that minor key that kinda crept up on me. 

 

For the most part, the vocals were fantastic. A couple clunkers here and there, especially near the end, but I'll forgive them because those harmonies sounded pretty unusual and difficult. These girls aren't trained vocalists, so I'm proud of how well it turned out.
