Album HKT48 1st [092] (2017/12/27)

2-shot dates in 2018 for the 1st Album have appeared today on the HKT48 Official Website: http://www.hkt48.jp/news/2017/12/4920

Each event will have a different theme as follows:

1/28: Kitakyushu West Japan General Exhibition Center (theme: Stage Costume)
2/12: Fukuoka International Center (School)
3/18: Nagoya Port Messe (Bridal)
4/15: Tokyo Ryutsu Center (Sports & Games)
4/22: Osaka ATC Hall (Dating)
5/20: Tokyo TOC Gotanda Messe (Stage Costume)

Applications can be made at https://cd.shopping.akb48-group.com/hkt48/1stalbum/

The 1st round opened at 1900 JST today and will close at 1400 tomorrow (12/2).
2nd round: 1700 tomorrow until 1400 Sunday (12/3)
3rd round: 1700 Sunday until 1400 Monday (12/4)

 

Does anyone know if the theatrical version (the one that comes with 2-shot tickets) also includes random members photos like the theatrical version singles do?

 

Assuming they are doing it AKB way, yes.

 

Does anyone know if the payment info will show the address the cds will ship to?
I'm not sure if I messed up the address part -- I changed shipping address in Group Shop, made the bid, and only afterwards did I change the Ticket Center Account address to match the Group Shop Address but it was still while the bid lottery was going on. (my Ticket Center address just had the hotel I stayed in before)

And does this work the same way as chara-ani where you can have a different address for the resale rounds (different address from the regular rounds)?

Thank you!

Sakura's only not sold out in the Fukuoka venues -- the 1/28 and the 2/12.

 

I wish I could had a photo with 2 members at once. They'd be Natsu & Maria. Then I'd upload it on Instagram with caption "happy family".

Universal has a new site up for the shortfilm project included in the album. Seems like they're uploading short bits, quotes and a screenshot for each so I decided to translate the first ones:

I'd suggest to people who want to buy 2s with HKT48 members, better to buy on HKT48 album instead of AKB48 album because of poor sales of HKT48 album 2s. I believe HKT48 members understand why their booths on AKB48 2s event have less crowd than on HKT48 2s events.

 

Didn't realise AKB 2 shot already started... Hope HKT fans support HKT album.

Look at the results, they took so long to open sale for HKT's album 2shot
And now AKB album already open sale too... expect some fans prefer to buy the AKB ones rather than HKT

And now 21 days to release... still dont have any clue about the song/cover/units

 

i always thought Mikruin was a better seller than Nako
i guess not

 

Management showing that they care more about those short films then the Actual Album.

Won't be surprised if this ends up becoming like NMB48's 3rd Album (Where we end up getting like 1 or 2 new songs).

 

Looking at SKE's first album, it was released with their first 8 singles and had 14 songs. Plus, I'll add, there was the one type and a theatre edition. We're getting four types and a theatre edition. Plus the short films are a heck of a lot of content, time and effort. Considering the amount of cash that must have been spent on them, I think it's justified to promote that harder than the actual songs (most of which we've already heard) or even the name.

I'll eat my face if we get 1 or 2 new songs, I think it's fine to be a bit more ambitious. With 10 singles to cram on a disc that leaves space for maybe three per type (at the most).

 

Especially since the films can be done before the song lyrics comes.

Don't say what you'll regret later.

 

Honestly,I was already expecting 2 or 3 new songs per albums!I don't know if you meant 1 or 2 songs overall though!If we get more that would be great but like it's been mentioned,they probably focused their money more on short films if you base yourself on the directors alone!I don't know if they're big names or not but I don't think they're all newbies neither!

On aside note,as I expected it would seem that Aki-chan did have an action-ish short film!Cool!
