Single AKB48 36th [Labrador Retriever] 14/05/21

I decide based on the cover, since my oshi is one of those that are always featured in one of the covers... I think it will be type K again because she's not centering and she's right behind Mayu...

 

Last year I decided because the covers and the b-sides (got A and K); this year I'll buy just a copy because I have lower income, and I'll decide according to my previous criteria (but 90% percent I'll get Type A; there's neo Takahashi Team A there, and considering their b-sides were fabulous in the past, won't get disappointed).

 

I went ahead and chose Type B Mocchiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

^ You have good taste, by the way

 

@Norenche maybe what you meant is "she's right beside Mayu"? (Idk who you were talking about but I guess it's Jurina, isn't it?)

 

Yes, and well, she's "second line" (as in, Mayu seems to be slightly in front compared to Jurina and Sasshi). Anyway, it meant that she's the second/third girl in the song.

 

didn't they reveal the covers for maeshika mukanee pretty late? like, two weeks before the release or something? do they usually reveal the covers that late? the release is a month from today so sometime this week probably the covers will come along, is that reasonable?

I'll probably edit later with #s of almost sold out slots; as of now I only have that info for max slot members, SKE, and HKT.

 

^ thanks for posting
Kinda happy about Mochi's sold out slots And Umechan at least sold 3 slots. Kinda wonder about the low sales

This waiting for previews of the new team songs and covers is really terrifying!

 

I wish they'd give the center positions for the team songs to the draft members.
But with the shuffle, it seems whatever they could bring to the group is no longer "needed" and now they're just there to fill in space.

 

Covers.

Guessing whom ever is the center of the single will have a cover by themselves (Jurina, Yuko and now Mayuyu) and it will continue for the next singles.

I don't mind them. The cover does show how beautiful they all are.

lol love the dog thing at the end of AKB48 font.

 

The covers are quite nice! I prefer the regular edition covers by far though, so I am happy I ordered those

The mayu solo cover for Reg.4 look fantastic!

 

Yay! I only ordered the four regular edition singles (for the photos of course), and I'm happy to be getting the non-bikini covers. I LOVE the top half of the Limited type 4 cover, but the feet kind of ruin it. Yeah, these are pretty simple covers, but not dramatically moreso than other summer singles. Except perhaps sayokuro and its explosion of flowers.

 

Not my favourite members but OMG this cover is PERFECT

 

I love the regular 4 cover and limited type 4, now only missing the b-sides, I CAN NOT WAITTTT

 

Wow, not liking these at all.

And Yuria with Takamina, Mayuyu, Paruru and Sayanee... it worries me. I fear they're gonna push aside all the Team 4 for her. :s

 

Wow, I love the regular types without the bikini's, but darn it, now it's even harder to choose. I thought I'd go for B, but now that I've seen the covers, I really like type K, then A and then B. 4 is kind of irrelevant for me since there's no reason why I'd want only Mayu on my cover. I hope we get to hear those coupling songs soon, although I'll probably just go for my favourite cover, since it's not like I'll be actually listening to the cd.

 

Wow Yuria in the type A cover ith all the big names. Does that means a lot of good things for her in AKB ?
I really like the cover. They all look really pretty on it *o*
My favs are Limited K and Regular A
