Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

Ayano Umeta confirmed on google+.

Well this means there'll be a showdown between 4 and ex-4 wotas on Request Hour. :music:

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

^ I don't know the official source. But Ayano Umeta (member of Team 4) said this on her Google+. I think that it is official source xDD

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

I guess it is.

SO YAY, CELEBRATION!!! [party]

I just hope they don't give them some childish song ala Hashire! Another Bara no Kajitsu would be nice.

And yes, the next RH is going to be a nice one.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

Hashire Penguin is an epic song, they'd be lucky if they got something like that

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

Wow! So there are 5 types this time (4 regular and 1 theater)? Nice!

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

another proof that this unit should be managed on long term goal

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

Type 4 announced by the official blog http://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-11610955645.html and King Records http://www.kingrecords.co.jp/cs/topic/t ... topic=3856

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

I think they'll put it with team B song like they did with the baka song, but anything can happen.

EDIT: Okay I just saw that it'll be 5 types. Guess I know which type to pre-order

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

AkiP is truly a genius in riding the momentum to milk people's money Does this mean the Theater ver. will only have the 15th gen KKS singing the coupling song? Isn't there like, eight of them? Wouldn't that make it more like a unit song than a KKS song lol

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

Ahahaha. So it is confirmed. Have to edit my preoder then to include the 4th Regular type.

Thanks!

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

It will probably have many more than just AKB KKS, just like Aozora Cafe.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

Or maybe the Theater edition will feature a unit song like Special Girls, Selection 6 or similar.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

Maybe Tentoumu-chuu will be released in the theater ed?

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

I don't think Lovetan would be an odd choice for senbatsu. Since she transferred to HKT she's been working to distance herself from the cutesy Tenshi no Shippo image and trying to present a more mature, "big sister" character. Getting into the cool single would be the apex of that proccess.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

I'll hold my horses until the Senbatsu is actually announced by official channels. Ota Aika seems really unlikely.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

^^True that, but I don't see a point in putting Aichan into the senbatsu, especially when HKT is being marketed as a young and fresh group. Aichan definitely isn't that fresh, having been in the group for so long.

At best, it'll be quite understandable if she's the center for UG again.

But if the rumors are true, boy would I need to get my hands on the single

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

I wonder if Team 4 getting their own single type means that they plan to keep the team really long-term? it's genius tbh, now they can release a whole new type for their future singles.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

Well it would be weird if the other teams got team songs and they left team 4 out so it's not that surprising I guess. A nice bonus for management for creating team 4 again

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

But but but! It took the previous Team 4 so long to get a song! This is an insu-- Oh never mind.

We still have no confirmation about Senbatsu so it's still to early to call.
As for a kenkyuusei song: I'm not too sure there's going to be one at all. Team 4 members are still gonna be performing with the kenkyuusei until we get the draft members added to the pool in early November and once that happens, they might change a few things around anyway. Things are pretty much up in the air.

 

Re: [SINGLE] AKB48 33rd [TBA] 13/10/30

What now? Team 4 won't start performing as Team 4 until the draft?

But still... there's a theatre edition and a 4 edition. Those 2 will probably have different songs, and one by 15th gen would be nice, even if we never see it performed.
