I have MotoKare on loop and I have to say, this has to be the best and catchiest AKB48 a-side released since maybe Teacher Teacher (hell, I think I like it even more than TT so probably my favourite a-side since Kibouteki Refrain).

 

Amen!!! I have it on my playlist all the time too! So catchy

 

Even the choreo looks fun and I feel like copying it.

As for the MV, I like it and think it fits the song but it could also have been better. The girls' close-ups could have had more personalized sets away from the dance sets where they could have been doing something else, something amusing, not necessarily story scenes but things that vaguely refer to the lyrics in a connected/consistent way (because nothing in the MV is really relevant to the lyrics). It's more like an expensive b-side MV or a special performance video.

 

Fourth sale...

What if we had two A-sides? A dance one and a more idolish song. Who am I kidding? They can't even produce MVs for the teams.

Although the percentage is still slightly smaller than for Ne mo Ha mo Rumor, currently, more tickets have sold out than they did for NmHmR at the same time and they're both at ~25% sold out. These tickets aren't paid for yet, so it's no guarantee, but this is a good sign for sales imo
