    Every single 47 girls get to center a song making this a really special event for the fans and members <3(GJ mgmt). And I really hope we get to see Kurenyan in an unusual unit for her in Fukui like Warukii but I would be happy with a solo guitar performance like Jungle Gym. Although it was expect that there would be no announcement regarding their CD debut because still feel a bit way early considering most of members age(just need one more year we're out of middle school members well except for the members that joined later). it was still funny all the confused Kanjani8 fans today on twitter seeing finally caught on to the Eita and 8/8 day thing :lol:.

    Is that a wheel in Hama-chan's hair bun?? Like I know a lot of their costumes have little tiny tires in the hair accessories and such but I don't know why this just made me laugh so hard.

    Bringing this discussion here from the LOVE TRIP thread.

    @Ashitaba that's just the theory though.
    Wanna get featured in an AKB single? RANK!

    But then...

    LOVE TRIP has this Hikari to Kage song and Black Flower.
    Halloween Night had Ippome Ondo and Yankee Machine Gun.
    KNP had Sailor Zombie and Oshiete Mommy (apart from the Team 8 song).

    So it's basically Wanna get featured in an AKB single? RANK! But we'll keep doing whatever we want lolz.

    The only singles where that was "respected" were Gingham Check and KFC. The other b-sides in those singles were songs for upcoming graduations, so it was only fitting to have them released at that time.
    I guess the same can be said about songs with tie-ins to tv shows or CMs (Black Flower, Machine Gun, Sailor Zombie), it would make no sense to have them released after the tie-in is gone cause you lose potential buyers.

    But that still leaves a couple of songs here and there that management put in those singles simply because they wanted to.
    So why not give one to Team 8? lol

    @Ashitaba Team 8 was eligible for the 2014 Sousenkyo. None of them ranked but they were there but like you said the exception was made that time because they were just a few months in.

    I think management found it easier that either all teams get a song (and PV) or that they don't because there was one instance that the PVs got delayed in one of the singles and got placed in the album release.

    Eh... I'm all for more Team 8 songs and would be fine with Team 8 b-sides when there aren't necessarily other team songs on the b-sides because of how little in-group exposure they get and their weird "kinda-sorta-not-really sister group" status.

    But for this single it already feels pretty over-stuffed anyways. With the double a-sides and tie-ins in addition to all the ssk units I don't really see where a Team 8 song could fit in? At least here.

    Unless Toyota sponsored another tie-in song a la the Koisuru Fortune Prius and they put it on Type E instead of the Paruru Baito Selection or even just on the theater edition?

    I just don't understand why they can't let team 8 release a single. They release singles for janken winners even if the winner is not popular, so why not having a single for team 8, even if it just has 1 a-side and 2 b-side and a low price, why not trying it. This could make the girls more popular, then they would sell more.

    I really think team 8 is like its own group, they should find a name for them and keep them 47 members always (one for each prefecture). I like this concept and idea but it would work much better if they become a separate group but still the "closer" group to AKB (still performing in AKB theater, have kennins etc.). I want them to have their own singles and their own regular shows. I feel like this team is like seeing the early AKB... right now they're able to survive thanks to being related to AKB but they're slowly growing in popularity, they have a lot of potential, they should start getting singles, and promote it on some music shows, then once they do better, get more singles. and so on. and I like how the members are close, and how their songs are really "idol" songs.

    Hopefully in 2017 management will consider giving them a single, even something similar to the janken singles (I'm speaking of the latest janken singles where they only have one a-side and one b-side). and if they have their own single then maybe they could give them a name other than "team 8" LOL

    At events they're billed as 'AKB48 Team8' two words, in English. Not Team 8 from AKB48 or something like that. Like passpo have a sub group and they're billed as 'はっちゃけ隊 from PASSPO☆'
    Other teams are always written as チームB and they're only written as チーム8 when they're performing as part of akb48 not as their own thing.
    Another big difference is they have no 'senpai' they don't have generations, they are just one cohesive group.

    I stand corrected :D

    But still, we can't 100% consider them a sister group since they pretty much are still under the wing of AKB48, performing new singles as they appear. They are just a different way of doing AKB, and as long as they keep like that they'll probably still have to do with B sides 3 times a year. Like I said, the other 4 teams get less than that. To get an A side, they probably should stop being AKB first. In any case, it's not on us.

    I like their charitable and voluntary attitude and I think that is owing to the established reputation of "AKB" and TOYOTA sponsorship. I won't tell them not to be ambitious but don't want them to be so competitive. I hope they'll mainly participate in local events and make people cheerful. Anyway, new songs for them are really welcome.

    I'm for a Team 8 single.

    It can be labeled as an "AKB48 Team 8" release. When you think about it, it's pretty much a "unit" single like that of Warota or DiVA just a whole team though. Well, it is a special case since Team 8 is indeed different from the other teams.

    It can even be just one song, wherein the B-side is a version performed by members from a region thus having several types. The A-side can have all 47 members in it.

    Haaay, well, we all can dream.

    I just tried finding a source, but I failed.
    I remember someone in here (HRP maybe?) saying that AkiP (or was it Togasaki? lol) was surprised by the Toyo Dome shuffle beause there were already some plans for reating Team 8.

    Again, can't find the source, so take it with a grain of salt.

    But it makes sense that once you make Team 4, Team 8 is the next, just for the sake of completion.
