Single AKB48 47th (Shoot Sign) (17/03/15)

I really like Shoot Sign song, but the mv........ i think the focus on fight left everything boring.

 

I actually thought this wrestling concept fits Kojiharu very well. I mean she's never gonna wear such tacky costumes ever again and it's a great way to end off her idol career cause it's innovative and also looks really great on her. I thought it was kind of fun seeing Kojiharu trash Sakura. Sakura is honestly so lacking in charisma, it's funny how she won but the attention remained on Kojiharu. Very reflective of what's going to happen in real life. It's also kinda laughable seeing Jurina in the new gen camp when she's looking like she's in her mid thirties.

 

just finished watched the shoot sign MV, i think the full version of the song is goodish, like a lot of people say it has that James Bond 007 feel to it, the MV though, not so much. 'cause you know that kojiharu is not the person behind that mask, those wrestling move set is hard even for real pro-wrestler, so seeing a 28-year old women do an almost perfect 619 is....... well i'm not buying it.
and there is something that's really bother's me here, why is Sayanee is on the "Legend" faction and Jurina is on the "Young" or "Next gen" faction? because Jurina as everybody know, is Sayanee's senior........

like the only generation older than SKE's 1st at the moment is, AKB's 1st, 3rd, 4th,and 5th....!!!

i can't say anything about the b-side yet, cause i haven't watch nor listen to the full version.....

 

Poor Sayanee has always been put with the legends. In Manatsu no Sounds Good she was with the old folks while generation mate Milky was top 7 of new gen. >.< In Green Flash, Sayanee was also with the old folks while Jurina was with the new.

I know Jurina is actually really young and similar in age to those in the new gen but we've seen her for what 8 years now... They're not fooling us.

 

Yui is also there, so i don't think is a New vs Old thing.

I liked the mv, but honestly they have to stop pausing the music in mvs, is annoying.

 

i think it's sort of is, 'cause in the opening we see kojiharu is accompanied by mayuki and sasshi, the post acchan and yuko "Legends" and sakura accompanied by mion, nacchan, etc, the so called "next generation". and the MV storyline itself suggest that it was a kind of "handing of the torch" from the "old" to the "New".

 

guess it's true, but its still bother's me though......

 

Me also Nothing against her, and her age supports it. But, yeah. Feels like a sore muscle after wrestling. Technically nothing is wrong, but still uncomfortable.
Btw, I feel the 3rd gen aura is diminishing in this single come on MaYuki.

 

Isn't this just a giant throwback to Nyan Nyan Kamen and Saku Saku Kamen? Seriously they're wearing the same color scheme outfits and everything.

This PV would be much better if it were Shinozaki Ayana in Sakura's place... No offense, it just seems more suited (though it would be a HUGE change of pace for Ayana)

 

It's the first thing that popped in my head when a saw the previews lol

 

We'll now for sure if she start using her mask in the drama

Spoiler

I haven't seen the drama but that would be kinda cool, the mv being canon i mean

 

Haha, yea... that's definitely not gonna happen

 

Or maybe in the future, AKB and HKT will be merged into one?

 

Yeah might as well merge everything back to akb so we dun have anymore nogi and keyaki heresy talk xD

At this point they should merge AKB, SKE, NMB, HKT, NGT, and STU into one giant group and treat the sister groups as subunits like Not Yet/French Kiss/No3B etc

 

Now it's my turn to can't believe these are serious comment.

Chill actually they already did it. The name is 48G which in time also help the 46G born as so-called rival under the similar flag. The subunits are AKB, SKE, NMB, JKT, HKT, NGT, STU, MNL, BNK, Nogizaka, Keyakizaka. All of them have/will hav smaller unit called team and sub-sub-unit
