I feel like there's a better chance that she'd be voted as center. I want it so bad though. She's my oshi

Oh, and I'll post pics of my AKB ga Ippai once I can get my camera to work. For some reason the charger isn't working and the camera has no battery left, so...

Nooooooooooooooooooo I really really didn't want another Janken Tournament. The first one was so special and this will just make it totally not now. Plus Mayumi is never going to win it again and it'll be so sad The should've done a different kind of tournament. Their releases are the exact same as last year!

[Polyrhythm]

I hope they don't blow their whole budget on the election single again.

^I think it was that and Beginner.
I won't mind if we get another song like Beginner/River again though.

If the past two years are any indication, I'm like 100% certain we will. It'll be the one before the Janken single (whose's A-side better not suck this time). Best time of the year. RIVER is one of my favorite songs ever and the one that introduced me to AKB48 while Beginner is still every bit an earworm it was from the get go. I look forward to it.

Hoping by some miracle that Nakaya Sayaka wins a place in senbatsu. Very talented girl, no competitive spirit unfortunately. XD

I SO hope you're right. Beginner and RIVER (in that order) are actually my two favorite AKB songs.

The covers look better this time. Why is Sayaka posed like that twice? Does the photographer think she has nice legs? I'm trying to figure that out. I don't like Yuka's make up and hair on Type A other than that they all look good. Type C is my favorite,

The tracklist looks good. I'm hoping MARIA doesn't get changed too much.

[Polyrhythm]

Now that's how you do a cover. Glad to be rid of those matronly suits....I hope the song is actually reflective of the dance and vocal theme this time.

[dreamland2.0]

They all look so amazingly beautiful!!!!!!!!!
SAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

[adantatu2]

the covers are really nice, i love the first !

[visionfactory]

I just passed to say that the new DiVA covers are a big progress from their past single covers!!

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Dont know how people can love RIVER. Is just so annoying

[Ranma Matsuri]

^Well, for me, it started off with me just loving the PV (because it's just all kinds of awesome) and thinking the song is meh but eventually the song grew on me until I found myself listening to it multiple times a day. I just love the instrumental, the chorus is uplifting, the lyrics are refreshingly empowering for an idol song and I always thought the chant was adorable.

"Flying Get" PV Details announced

Announced at yesterday's Ebikatsu Handshaking Event in Hokkaido, AKB's new Single "Flying Get" will be used as both Opening and Ending song for Hanakimi2. The PV is said to be 17 minutes long, and it will also have 2 other alternative versions, with the 3 PV Versions together surpassing 50 minutes of footage. the 3 of them are said to be included in the same DVD (not separated between Type A and Type B).

We will finally be hearing Flying Get for the first time in Hanakimi tomorrow! look forward to it!

Sounds awesome. If they are really repeating last year's pattern then imagine over 50 minutes of a Heavy Rotation type PV... *inserts nosebleed smiley*

[bondingo]

...ummmm, wow. 50 minutes on each DVD? That's absolutely insane. Guess I'll be buying this single (that is, if the song and PV are actually good). I'm really interested to hear what kind of song it is. I hope it's sexy and tough rather than completely cutesy. 50 minutes though, I can't even imagine what kind of music video could be made into something that long, even across 3 versions.

[OogoeDiamond]

I guess they are on DVD with PV for Flying Jet and whole footage have 50 minutes - maybe this will be short movie
