The single is called "風は吹いている" (Kaze wa Fuiteiru "The Wind is Blowing").

You can pretty much already guess the senbatsu for this one (and yes, it includes SKE and NMB *faceplam*) and various posts from the girls' blogs have pieced together most (but not all) of the UG line-ups but it's easier to wait until it's all official so I won't post anything til then.

@jeffycue: Same! I get to see plenty of her in WH7 but it's not enough. D: Need more Nacchan love. <333 She's one of the main girls I hoping gets into Janken senbatsu (along with Miorin and Nakayan )

Lol, pretty much. XD Plus Horipro has done such a good job with her career already, while putting her as center would boost her popularity more for now, she's doing just fine on her own.

With Mariko, she barely has time for AKB-activities any more. I recall her having the worst attendance record for the stages last year. It's great she's such a popular personality and is starring in movies but it leaves no room for a sub-unit or solo career or she would definitely have one already. She's someone that won't have to rely on the AKB48 name, she'll be famous all on her own. That's the reason why I want her to be center at least once before that happens or at least be given a graduation single... she's been a fan favorite since before she was even IN the group so surely no one would object to that.

Oh and totally agree with Polyrhythm about Not yet. I had such high hopes for this group. They come out with a sub-unit consisting of some of the best dancers in AKB48 with this cool, hipster image claiming their first single would be "House" style then the song turns out to be the most typical of idol pop and the PV some freakish mess with horrendous outfits and masked cheerleaders. Then it's summer, they need a second single so bikini time and yet ANOTHER forgettable throw away song. It's like they created this group for the sole purpose of being a Yui vehicle, needed a popular girl to draw attention so they put Yuko in, then threw in Sasshi and Rie since they weren't doing anything else. They have no idea what to do with this group AT ALL. Yuko really deserves better.
