Me too. We've had far too many cutesy songs from AKB. There are so many I can't even distinguish some of them from one another. Gingham Check is so incredibly derivative and devoid of personality and anything worthwhile. I'm extremely disappointed that THIS is the song Yuko "gets" to center for after all this time. It's not even up to par for being the Undergirls song, never mind the freaking A-side.

At the very least, I'm excited about the album. I thought it was going to be another best like Kamikyokutachi, with just every B-side after Koko ni Ita Koto slapped on there, but another original album with a **** ton of new songs? Now I'm excited, especially to see there's an Atsumina song and a MARIKO solo. Holy crap. The new single may be ****, but there's bound to be some gems on the album.
