That photo proves nothing. Team A -> Team K -> Team B -> etc.

 

So finally center was Naachan, and 2-3 positions Yukirin and Yuiyui 4-5 Yuihan and Miru.

Nana is starting with nice solo part and Kashiwagi is joining her. Then are coming: Mirurun, Yuihan, Yuiyui, Rinrin and Yuiri as chorus. Second chorus part belongs to Dasu, Mion, Miku, Naruchan and Nagichan. Last chorus contains: Hinatan, Yumiko, Tomu, Akarin, Satopii, Maho, Chiho and Zukki.

"Aisuru Hito" is a really heart-touching, nice and warm song and I've really hope that they'll announce this song as A-side of new single. As some ballad style with chorus this song can be top karaoke song in Japan, but they need to use it for sama drama - in my opinion - to make it more popular.

Already Mikurin has posted her photo in uniform specially prepared for "Aisuru Hito" performance.

wow I really love Aisuru Hito! it's beautiful. I hope the studio version is released soon! The dance and clothes are very pretty too, I love it. I wish this can be the next a-side like for early 2020, it could be a "graduation" style music video like they used to do at the beginning of the year back then. I really wish they could go back to their theme singles ;_; so we could have ballads, idol songs, cool songs, etc. Aisuru Hito is a great ballad. I have a feeling the lyrics are good too, I hope to see a translation. The response for the performance is nice on Twitter. Naachan as center is good, with Yukirin, Yuiyui, Yuihan, Mirurun, Rinrin, Yuiri after, it's really perfect! I also saw that Mahopyon is in the line-up today, I like her, I'm glad she gets a push!

 

Is Aisuru Hito a new single? Or just a project?

 

We don't know. But I think that it'll be just B-side like "365 Hi no Kamihikouki". They've never made some short time release like this A-side without Senbatsu announcement which is part of their show.

 

They announced the schedule from December 1st to 7th now. December 2nd and 3rd will be Team B stage, the rest are days off.

 

Negaigoto no Mochigusare.

 

That's true. Honestly, I want this to be the new single, this has potential

 

But have they released song before announcing it as new single A-side? I don't remember.

 

Naachan, Yukirin, YuiYui, Miion, Mirurun, Mahopyon and Yuihan in today's uniform:

Errrrr.... Negaigoto no Mochigusare?

The song was performed in March, before anyone knew it would be the next single.

EDIT: Actually, the performance itself was in November, right?

 

Nice to see Tartan returning, it is quintessential AKB.

 

Gotta represent their Scottish heritage after all.

 

When my friends here in the UK watch videos of the group they ALWAYS comment on the tartan and seldom much else! (e.g. "they look like they're ready to perform a highland fling...")

 

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

I really like that new song they performed. And Nana as center is never a bad thing

 

Sooooooooooo that's our new single?

 

Yes.
