Fans will get to choose which song they'll perform next time The members for "Make Otoko" (losing guy) were chosen by Yuiri based on who she thinks would fall in love with a guy who's no good. During the dress rehearsals, Muto Orin's mother walked up to Yuiri and said she chose well The concept of the stage is "a girl in love." The encore songs were chosen to represent AKB48. To Yuiri, the stage is a spiritual successor of the Kenkyuusei stage "Let's go Kenkyuusei!" Certain songs featuring the members who were part of that stage were chosen so Yuiri could show their charms of how they've grown up. The song "Happy End" was chosen to finish it all off like a dream. Yuiri said that the unit segment features various kinds of romances, there are dark songs and sexy songs. Happy End signifies the end of the stage in a happy vibe. Yuiri consulted with management as well we Mukaichi Mion when putting together the setlist. The name for the stage will be chosen by fans. After the shonichi, a Google docs form was released where fans could suggest names for the stage.

Osare Company's chief designer Kayano Shinobu has posted about the new costume for Yuiri's stage: https://twitter.com/shinobukayano/status/1760662397612859489 She said that she listened to Yuiri's thoughts about what she wanted to express through her performance and she used different materials such as denim, tweed and leather.
Very balanced and good song choices! Yuiri already had me with the first track, Romance, Irane is one of my all-time fav songs of AKB
Honestly, can they just make Yuiri the official AKB stage maker? Every single stage she's produced is such gold. She's really good at digging the best forgotten masterpieces. I mean, Seikaku ga Warui Onna no ko, Chikatetsu no Teddy Boy (oh the memories with that one), Downtown Hotel, (even Happy End in a way? One of my most favorite AKB song yet really overlooked during stages and concerts), while also giving a meaning to the selection. Looking forward to watching this one.
Can say for the other unit, but Chikatetsu no Teddy Boy got a new choreo different from Warota's, right? Those 3 girls fit the song so well, just disappointed in the outfits, they could have gone with crazy fluffy ones for that song
Some news about the voting for the M10 song in the next performance: https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12842331477.html There'll be a choice of 3 songs - Iiwake Maybe, Hebirote and Kibouteki Refrain - and audience members will be able cast their votes at the Information Desk before they enter the Theater.
https://twitter.com/dedemaruenzo/status/1763165707284390095 The stage title was decided to be "Kyou wa Dare ni Koi wo Suru?".
The members for "Make Otoko" (losing guy) were chosen by Yuiri based on who she thinks would fall in love with a guy who's no good. During the dress rehearsals, Muto Orin's mother walked up to Yuiri and said she chose well "She chose well" As in muto orin chose good man or as in yuiri chose the members well? If it is the former, is muto orin dating some one?
Orin's mother meant that Yuiri chose well, i.e. she made a joke that she thinks Orin would also fall in love with a guy who's no good. There was no implication that Orin is currently in a relationship (maybe she just likes the weirdoes in dramas/anime, etc)
Performers list for March 30 KyouDare KyouKoi stage was just announced! https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12845570154.html Sahhoo, Rinrin, Gyoten, Naru, Haachan, Hiyuka, Shitao, Ayane, Remitan, Ayamin, Hotechan, Orin, Yuiri, Sorara, Zunchan, and Azu. Lots of surprises! Didn't expect Rinrin to actually learn and perform this stage with her grad show being very soon after! Finally debut for Gyoten, Haachan, Ayane and Hiyuka! Hotechan and Sorara were a pleasant surprise, didn't expect them to learn and debut this soon after promotion And Azu too! I just didn't expect a KKS to debut here while some members are still waiting for debut, perhaps different position? Still waiting for debut in this KyouDare stage: Komiharu, Seichan, Megu, Harupyon, and Satomina from regular members that have learned the choreo before the shonichi, and the recently promoted other 17ki members. I wonder whose positions are they going to do? Looking forward for the day!
