Single AKB48 63rd single [Colorcon Wink] 2024/03/13

lol i know right. it took me a while to recognize and name the all the girls . “visual concept” seems like nothing we never seen before. reminds me of that sasshi wedding themed single. its pretty “Yukirin coded” though. ill give them that. + not seeing Hitomi, Odaeri , Onishi Momoka and Berin felt a little bit sad. . thinking about it, maybe this is why Yukirin announce graduation, she needs to graduate while most members she close with( relationship wise and age wise lol) are still there.

 

Beautiful concept and it screams Yukirin's style
So they went (all) out with a better budget?

So excited..
But why is the promo picture reminds me of Shiawase wo Wakenasai and NMB's Akarin grad single..

I hope it's a good song, I always like all Yukirin-centered songs this far (including her solos and French Kiss' songs)

 

Have we ever gotten the MV before the first performance before?

 

It says in the video notes that it'll follow the performance on CDTV - the show starts at 19:00 JST but no schedule of performances has yet been published.

Just to add that Yukirin will be talking about the MV in a livestream on her YouTube channel tomorrow from 22:00:

Love the new song. The choreo, the music, its unapologetically AKB.
Title is カラコンウインク, Karakon (Colored Contacts) Wink.

Video of the TV perf:

I also made a poll on twitter to ask how we should spell the song title on the wiki. Feel free to provide your input!

https://twitter.com/curioushitomi/status/1757006575435125089

I put karakon wink, kara con wink, color con wink and colored contact wink as options but there's a variety to choose from really. As of posting this, karakon is in the lead.

Good for you, Pyon! Good for you!

 

When I heard Yukirin has two solo lines, I'm sold. She got everything we wished upon in this one single, everything screams Yukirin and AKB.

Congrats Yukirin for a good song, MV and choreo.. Thank you for all these years.

EDIT: She's still getting a solo song, what a great news

 

Almost to a fault. I was expecting them to go Katyusha at some point.

Still, lovely song. And the choreo is made so that Yukirin leaving wouldn't change things much.

B-sides giving each new gen a song and creating a rivalry? Smart.

Now, if only we got MVs for all the songs...

 

i love how they used the Yukirin jiko as part of the koreo (ending part).

another song that felt like a combination of old songs, i hear kachusa, sustainability, and some others i cant put my finger on (not that im complaining)

lovely song, very safe but works. first time im actually crying watching akb’s mv. setsunai indeed.

 

The song is awful. Whatever good there might have been is buried deep under high-pitched synthetic noise and terrible sound editing. I was hoping it was just the TV mix, but the MV isn't much better.
