Single AKB48 45th [LOVE TRIP / Shiawase wo Wakenasai] (16/08/31)

will sasshi centerting and top16 SSK48 performing both of double a-side senbatsu .. or just one song and another one will be another center and another senbatsu line-up?

 

^

The senbatsu for both song is SSK senbatsu

 

The thing is that Kuchibiru was basically promoted as a double A-side.
Usually they only perform the new single or a medley with an old hit. It's the fact that they usually performed two new songs that made it "weird" to call it a single a-side.
Heck, they released another version with a different obi so it was obvious that 365 was in there.

I bet that they would have made it a double A-side if it wasn't the so called "Takamina's last single".

 

Double A-side.. So our senbatsu will get 2 PVs, I hope both PVs have the same level in terms of effort.

And which song will be the iconic one? (365-Nichi became more iconic than Be My Baby, right?)

 

Idk but I'll blindly bet on LOVE TRIP. Don't ask me why but I feel Shiawase wo Wakenasai is slow (like the last single) so it won't stand out.

 

^ But 365 is slow as well..

Kinda bummed Katomina & Moeka's not included in the performance. And who's the 3rd SKE rep for the song?? (who apparently isn't performing the song at the show)

EDIT: nevermind, it's Ryoha

I wonder who's subbing for Katomina, Ryoha, & Moeka.....(as in their positions)

 

^ I believe it's Uha.. Under-age restriction maybe?

 

I wonder who're mion and Naachan subbing for since thats 2nd row and its surprising that any of the 3 missing members are 2nd row

 

I think Miion and Naachan were subbing for Katomina and Uha since both of them stood beside Mirurun and Annin during the event's press conference (?) That leaves Katomina subbing for Moeka maybe.

 

I hope their will perform debut this single in The Music Day on 2 July like previous SSK single KFC KnP and HN...

 

I missed the information about Hikari to Kage no Hibi. What kind of song is it, a cover?

 

The strange thing is that Morning Musume's first double A-side in '12 brought them back into the top spots of the chart, and because of that, they along with other H!P groups have released triple A-side singles (except Juice=Juice) to maintain the top spots (I think they had one in '11, but it wasn't much success).

It does give AKB48 the possibility of being "2011" successful with this single simply because it's a double A-side (and with the many tie-ins from the songs). Aside from H!P, there were other groups who've benefited from double A-sides.

 

The title of the new A-side gives me hope that we'll finally get an upbeat song. Maybe not completely idolish, but at least happy and lively, to break the current routine.

 

It doesn't appear to be a cover (at least, the only thing I can find on google are AKB's song and an old manga with the same title). It's a ballad that is being used to promote baseball in Japan. Video was posted here

 

Well, AKB is really quick to dominate things. Even if you search up Gingham Check without adding AKB, it's song come up. If you don't know what Gingham Check is, you would have never guessed it's a fabric pattern.

 

So... there are 4 (Undergirls, Next Girls, Future Girls, Upcoming Girls) election songs, and six TBA songs. What will the other two be I wonder? (They can't very well double up, except maybe on the Theater Edition, else two editions would be identical.)
